For the road, which once stirred only wrath from commuters, the program has caused "an impressive improvement in relations between the railroad and its riders...
Destry Rides Again (book by Leonard Gershe; music and lyrics by Harold Rome; direction and choreography by Michael Kidd) ups curtain on the Last Chance Saloon with the lady that's known as Frenchy (Dolores Gray) sashaying forward in a red-sequined gown to treat some of her plug-ugly admirers to a song. Within minutes she shoots the hat off one heckler, wraps a whipstalk around the skull of another. Then her saloonkeeper boy friend (Scott Brady) proceeds to give the sheriff an incurable case of lead poisoning. It is obviously high time for law and order...
