Four years ago a famous Parisian troupe, headed by a famous acting couple-Madeleine Renaud and Jean-Louis Barrault-paid their first visit to Broadway. Offering chefs d'oeuvres variés-Shakespeare, Marivaux, Molière-as well as novelties and knickknacks, they particularly scored with their lighter, wittier, most Gallic productions, revealed Director-Actor-Pantomimist Barrault as one of the theater's most agile minds and bodies.

This week little Gerald ran off UPA's version of Ludwig Bemelmans' picture tale, Madeline, putting his twelve little Parisian schoolgirls into animation that catches not only the image but also the spirit of the original. Fresh from the drawing board came The Twelve Days of Christmas, an imaginatively designed illustration of the old song; Alouette, a gentle fable about a bird that blossoms only uncaged, and Freezeyum, the story...
