...best Broadway season in years-with Shakespeare. Marlowe, Giraudoux, Anouilh and Wilder on the boards; with Julie Harris, Shirley Booth, Ruth Gordon, Shelley Winters, Nancy Walker, Gwen Verdon on the scene; and more hits around than theaters to hold them-one of the most dazzling events is the performance in The Diary of Anne Frank of 17-year-old Susan Strasberg (TIME, Oct. 17).

Target: the Funny Bone. Hip-flipper Verdon appeared on NBC's Colgate Variety Hour (Sun. 8 p.m., E.D.T.) in a salute to Songwriters Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, who wrote the music for the Broadway hits The Pajama Game and Damn Yankees. Since Gwen was scheduled to do the numbers she originated in Damn Yankees, there was every reason to believe that she would prove as irresistible on TV as on Broadway.
