...takes a heap of money to put a show into a Broadway house, and a heap more to keep it there. A smash-hit musical like The Pajama Game (TIME, May 24) cost a relatively low $190,000 to get started but it has to gross $31,000 a week to break even. Fanny cost its producers $265,000, has a weekly break-even figure of $34,000 and must run 17 weeks to pay off its cost.

...doesn't like his jobs. Often he goes to extremes unconsciously trying to avoid the "made-up" praise of critics who have long since become bored with the theatre Although he would deny it, his work in these instances seems to disagree simply for the sake of disagreeing, to smash idols on slender pretexts from motives of sheer perversity. He scorns Shirley Booth, for instance, because she is a "common-man" actress who makes love to the public by portraying the common level. For Bentley, the relationship between Miss Booth and her audience is purely erotic...
