Georgi Griner plays Ghenry Ghiggins with a Kiev accent, and The Rain in Spain came out Carl Stole Clara's Corals. Even if something were lost in translation, Maya Prekrasnaya Ledy brought 2,700 first-nighters to their feet in Moscow's Operetta Theater. "A great success," trumpeted Tass. But not everybody could have danced all night. "The Soviets did not go through proper channels," groused CBS, which bought the foreign rights to My Fair Lady from Authors Alan Lerner, 46, and Frederick Loewe, 60, in 1960.

Four of them did and ran smack into yet another fiasco at New York's Kennedy Airport, where they were promptly bucked back to Madrid because they lacked proper visas. At week's end, they tried a second time, with visas, and made it through to Asuncion, the capital of friendly Paraguay.
