...SWEET CHARITY. As a dancing doxy with a heart of gold, Gwen Verdon is one of nature's eternally winning losers. Choreographer Bob Fosse adds redeeming grace to Neil Simon's feeble script...

Rumania stands in warm counterpoint-from the white sand beaches of Mamaia on the Black Sea, where 30 well-appointed new tourist hotels stand, to the clean, well-lighted cafés of Bucharest's Boulevard Magheru, where one can sip sweet Pinot Noir or bitter Turkish coffee.

Miss Hilary is given two types of lines-one shows that Sasha is strong-willed and the other that she is tender. Miss Hilary plays the girl as strong-willed and tender. Chekhov makes it very difficult...
