...other year, "The House That Jack Built" and "Say A Little Prayer." Aretha is honest, she sings it the way she feels it. Her sales should have encouraged all involved to believe her best course would be to continue to deal in her own way. Not so. On her latest album, "Soul '69," she is often, though not always, cramped and weakened by large and superfluous brass and string sections, not to mention a number of poorly conceived arrangements.

...success of Promises and the rest of the latest batch of "rock" musicals certifies the fact that the paths of Broadway and true rock culture will continue to meet in the future.

When menaced by a revolver-brandishing intruder in his new play, Woody Allen implores, "Don't pull the trigger. I'm a bleeder!" Though no shot is fired, Play It Again, Sam is riddled with laughs. Apart from being a hemophiliac, Allen's latest hero, Allan Felix, is an exposed ganglion of neuroses, guilts and self-recriminations.

Consider the lines. Things aren't so good in Old Vienna. The students are rumbling; the peasants are restless. Emperor Franz-Josef (played in a triumph of miscasting by James Mason), surveys the latest student riot from the palace balcony. Line (in a tone of melancholy): "So we've come to this...
