August 18-23 "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" JERlLl LITTLE AND SHIRLEY THAYER

GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES gave a new musical life to Anita Loos' un- forgettable Lorelei Lee, the "Little Girl from Little Rock" who firmly believed that "Diamond's Are a Girl's Best Friend" and never says "Bye, Bye, Baby" until she knows where her next diamond bracelet is coming from. The show that rocketed Carol Channing to stardom, it remains one of the most enjoyable of musical comedies.

August 25-30

with PAUL FLORES

FANNY, the show that saw the last appearance of the late Enzio Pinza, closes the Summer of Musicals season. Gentle yet robust, sentimental yet worldly, the stories of Marcel Pagnol have been blended by S. N. Behrman, Joshua Logan and Harold Rome into what of the New Pork Times called a "thor- oughly absorbing theatre experience!'
