...City-area funeral, a mourner's first question about the deceased was "What about her Nicholas Nickleby ticket?" Bernard Jacobs, president of the Shubert Organization and one of the co-producers who footed the $4.4 million cost of importing the show from London (the others: Gerald Schoenfeld, Elizabeth McCann, Nelle Nugent and James Nederlander), estimates that it "lost $495,000 in the first four weeks, but right now it looks as if it will make a small profit-like...
...Judges, sporting the same big guns--primarily hot shooters Stephen Wood and Kevin McCann--as a squad which the Crimson decimated, 94-71, in last year's opener, controlled the game until the Crimson's superior size and depth made up for evident Harvard ennui...
...rekindle his career to the glow of the '50s, and his autobiography (Harper & Row; $14.95) is poignant in its chronicle of his rise and fall.

Says Ronald Lee, president of Group Sales Box Office: "We listed the show in our Broadway gram, which reaches the leaders of 20,000 theater groups, and didn't get one bite."
