Rodgers score, Slaughter on Tenth Avenue remains-when such ballets are no longer news-vibrant and exciting. There is a fine dancing rampage to go with the title song; Zorina, in the part she played in London 17 years ago, still has grace and charm; Bobby Van, in Ray Bolger's old role, has much of the master's ease and dexterity; Elaine Stritch stops the show with an aggressively lowdown warbling of an added song, You Took Advantage of Me. But for notable stretches there is torpor on 46th Street...

A more pretentious 60-minute production is The Martha Raye Show (alternating Tuesdays, 8 p.m., NBC). Tireless Trouper Raye bounced through songs and dances, but even her magnificent energy and Guest Star Wally Cox's support failed to pull along the old story line. The gags were hysterical, the mugging furious, and the sponsor (Hazel Bishop lipstick) added to the confusion...
