Amoozin' but confoozin', as Daisy Mae might fret. The frost is on the turnip down in Dogpatch, but no date has yet been set yet for this year's Sadie Hawkins Day, that highly moveable feast on which Marryin' Sam will obligingly hitch a fleet-hoofed gal to any hapless bachelor she can catch. Finally, at Daisy Mae's insistence, Cartoonist Al Capp hisself makes a rare appearance in the strip to schedule the prenuptial foot race for Nov. 26.

Such are the elected handicaps of Do You Turn Somersaults?, which began a five-week run at Washington's Kennedy Center last week. The old parties who fret, fuss, fumble and fudge their way into twilit romance are Anthony Quayle and Mary Martin. But the play is nonetheless an event, for this is Mary's first appearance on the stage since I Do! I Do! almost ten years ago.
