Edmond Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac immediately took the world by greater storm than any other play in the history of the theatre. And today it still easily holds its position as the towering peak of 19th-century French drama...

Henry Treece's Carnival King was an especially unhappy choice for the Theatre on the Green's opening number by contrast with the remainder of the 1957 bill of fare, which includes Moliere's Would-be Gentleman this week and next, and later Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac and Shaw's Man and Superman--all of which present a delightful and heady prospect indeed...

...success of the play's low comedy is due mainly to the freshness of Roger Moldovan, Thomas Teal, and Judith Gilmartin, as Sir Toby Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek, and Maria, the wench, respectively. Moldovan's Cyrano de Bergerac nose is unnecessary to show that he is a sot, but this does not detract from his relaxed, happily debauched portrayal.

Opera will range from Puccini's Madame Butterfly through a new English version of Mozart's The Magic Flute...

...mistake that finally trapped him was both too forced and too trifling to support an hour show. Kraft TV Theater ambitiously tried Camille on NBC and Kitty Foyle on ABC. Signe Hasso coughed and swooned appropriately as the lost lady of the camellias, but as her burning lover, Jacques Bergerac (currently Ginger Rogers' husband) had scarcely as much animation as a wooden Indian and spoke his lines as if he had learned them phonetically. Cloris Leachman did pretty well as Kitty Foyle, although for most of the play she was more long-suffering and put-upon than Christopher Morley...
