SUNDAY, AUGUST 10, 1958 Weather Coos Off Demand For Seats At All But Big City Musicals By JACK GAVEB UPI Drama Editor NEW YORK (UPI) With all due respect to the handful of dra matic bits available, the only Broadway shows for which sum mer visitors will have any real difficulty in securing tickets are musicals. And there are only two such "The Music Man" and "My Fair Lady." The latter is still playing to standees after two years and four months. The Music Man, of course, is only eight months old. For anything else, including such dramatic blockbusters as "Two for the Seesaw," "Look Homeward, Angel" and "Sunrise at Campc bello," it will not be necessary to write your congressman, although you still may not be able to get the best locations on short notice. The traditional fact is that when the hot weather closes in, those who still insist on going to the theater would rather see some thing in the musical line than a dramatic, show. Whether the reason is the avail ability of stars or theaters Broadway being notably short on the latter there is a growing ten- HMWMKUjiyW v j,i,y,mmm lit) 1,11111ml liiiii.iu a ill l BULL WEIGHT JlinAIMR t tU.

One of these is the comedy called "Brouhaha" by George Ta bori, who previously has bad two Broadway productions, "Flight Into Egypt" and "The Emperor's Clothes." They commanded a cer tain amount of critical respect but did not catch on. "Brouhaha" was slated for a British tour starting July 30, to be followed by a London engage ment prior to showing over here producers Robert L. Joseph and Lester Usterman hope. Jules Munshin, one of the most Ameri can of comedians, has one of the leading roles. Sean O'Casey should be pleased. The famous Irish playwright is said to hold his 10-year-old "Cock-a-doodle Dandy" in as high re gard as he does any of his plays. It will finally get a New York presentation, albeit off Broadway. However, this production will be supervised by Paul Shyre. He's the young actor-producer who was instrumental in rescuing O'Casey's "Purple Dust" a couple of seasons Women Man The Village Firehouse REMINDERVILLE, Ohio (UPI) While the men are away, the women of Reminderville (pop. 201) don't keep the home fires burning. They put them out. This is one of the few towns in Amer ica which has women on its vol unteer fire department. About 15 women, aged 25 to 50, were re cruited to "man" the firehouse while the men of the village are away at work. The gals take reg ular training from Chief Willy Delgade. When the town's 20 men volunteers -are on duty, the girls take over phones, sound alarms, and handle crowds at fires. back after decades of New York neglect, and giving it a substantial off-Broadway run. It is just possible that O'Casey, who, for all bis long world-wide fame, has barely made a living out of the theater, may reap a bonanza this coming season. This could come, not from "Cock-a-doodle Dandy" after all, royalties from an off-Broadway run, even a long one, don't add up to big mon eybut from "Juno," the Marc Blitzstein musical version of his most famous work, "Juno and the Paycock." Broadway musicals, if and when they strike the critical and public fancy, are gold mines. And this one will have the advantage of employing two of the stage's most popular stars, Shirley Booth and Melvyn Douglas. St. Bernards On Way Out AOSTA, Italy (UPI) Walkie talkies helicopters and tunnels un der the Alps are thinning the ranks of those lovable canine heroes with brandy, kegs, the St. Bernards. For hundreds of years, these big shaggy-haired dogs have plodded Ihrough the deep snows on the St. Bernard passes to save the lives of lost travelers. But only nine dogs remain at the Hospice of St. Bernard. Ever since the end of the last war their numbers have dwindled and the amount of work has diminished to no more than several calls a year. New and efficient mountain res cue methods have outdated the St. Bernard. Radio squads and helicopter patrols over the terri ble passes are much quicker and surer means of rescue than the courageous shaggy dogs.
