...Scarecrow came to her funeral; so did Andy Hardy. So, in spirit, did the countless legions of Judy Garland's fans, 21,000 of whom appeared in per son and jammed the streets of Manhattan's Upper East Side last week to file past the bier where her body, dressed in the ankle-length gown she had worn at her fifth wedding, lay in state. Many were moved to tears when a young girl from The Bronx began to play Judy's records on a battery-powered phonograph. Some, of course, came only out of curiosity. Others...

...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. He looks like a wilted scarecrow that would cringe at a sparrow's chirp. He has so many psychological hang-ups that he makes playgoers feel positively healthy, which may be why they tend to love...

...responsible for the group's incessant drive. Ginger Baker must have the world's fastest right hand, left hand, right foot and left foot. The mind-bending accuracy with which he clouts the dozen or so drums and cymbals around him seems impossible when one looks at his scarecrow body. His physique provides the reason for Cream's demise. If Baker lives another year it will be a miracle. His whole nervous system is so wracked by amphetamines that he literally has to be carried off the stage after a performance. His speech is an alternating pattern of comments followed...

...evening's gloom was somewhat relieved by Molly Maddox (Wheaton) with two numbers--Scarecrow and Subway. While amusing, the choreography was cliched and the whole not so much a ballet as a mediocre pantomime. Also amusing, though unoriginal were Phoebe Barnes and Christina Starobin in Miss Starobin's Phoebe and Christina Pal on Stage or, America Remembers Mary Heavtline. Unfortunately, the number was as over-long as is the title...
