Lew Anderson, 84, jazz saxophonist most famous for his six-year stint as Clarabell the Clown, Buffalo Bob Smith's sidekick on TV's seminal '50s children's hit, The Howdy Doody Show; in Hawthorne, N.Y. The popular, seltzer-squirting clown was mute until the show's final episode in 1960, when a teary Anderson turned to the camera and uttered the now famous, often replayed sign-off: "Goodbye, kids...

Poking fun at corny old musicals is such a corny old device by now that your defenses are up from the outset of this spoofy musical. Then its cheery, self-mocking inventiveness wins you over. A lonely-guy theater buff (played by co-writer Bob Martin) puts on his LP of a fictional 1928 musical, and, faster than you can say Flo Ziegfeld, it materializes in his apartment.
