Except for the low, seven bob price of tickets and the high, Edwardian bob of loitering Teddy Boys, the American theatregoer might mistake London's Piccadilly for a circular Broadway. The King and I, Bell, Book and Candle, Kismet, and Tea House of the August Moon are all current favorites. Such dubious U.S. attractions as The Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker and Johnnie Ray have Britons queueing up patiently for each performance. And adapted American productions like My Three Angels and Ondine have found a home here also...

Even a small Chagall gouache went...
...open in mid-July, Walt Disney will have a theater for a 360° screen, which he confidently expects represents the final step in evolution of the wide screen. Last week Disney gave the press a peek at it; standing on a platform in the middle of a circular theater, the viewer watched a 15-minute scenic tour of Monument Valley, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and Balboa Bay, had the sensation of looking out of the same car or boat that the eleven-camera unit had worked from. The sense of motion was impressive. Said Daily Variety: "Like riding...
