...fits neatly between the living-room sofa and the book case. One recent success: Great Catherine, with Gertrude Lawrence, who back in 1938 appeared in the first televersion of a Broadway play (Susan and God).

It was the première of Lucky Strike's Tonight on Broadway (Tues. 7 p.m., CBS Television), the first of a series of televiews of Broadway hits.
