...Prospects. Playwright Arthur (Death of a Salesman) Miller is working on an adaptation of Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, and the Theatre Guild is dickering for William Inge's Front Porch. Producers Rodgers & Hammerstein have scheduled Novelist John Steinbeck's Burning Bright, and Producer Cheryl Crawford has Tennessee (A Streetcar Named Desire) Williams' The Rose Tattoo on her schedule. By the time the season is half over, Broadway will probably be seeing Hollywood's Louis Calhern (in King Lear) and Olivia de Havilland (in Romeo and Juliet), besides such stage faithfuls as Dame...

...Brattle Theatre has extended invitations to Rex Harrison, Joyce Redman, Jane Pickens, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, Cheryl Crawford, and other actors and producers currently presenting plays locally, to be their guests at a newly established Sunday evening "Star Night." The purpose is to allow them to see other plays on their night off, Brattle being the only local theater running Sundays...
