HUD -OVER WtST00D BRUIN I 7-14(7 novel as a starter, Nunnally Johnson.

Nunnally is a humorist in whom the milk of human kindness has soured, and some of this seeps through the script and tastes unwontedlv bitter. At the other extreme, he has squirted the text with occasional witticisms that are funny in themselves but seem out of the context. Neither characteristic is calculated to lessen the over-all enjoyment of the paying customer. riming the Pump for Laughs Like the balky pressure pump in an outhouse of the Charles Addams-style "beach house" borrowed by the Hobbses, the picture takes some priming before the fun really flows. Much of it is relayed via the misanthropic comments of Stewart, who, Walter Mitty fashion, fills us in on details when the visible action doesn't.

vi i All of the Hobbses have their share of hfes little tragedies, and these are amusingly and sometimes hilariously recounted. Among the high spots are the battle of the pump, the invasion by a vamp in a bikmi (Valeria Varda), the togetherness party that fizzles, the teen-age dance at the yacht club, Hobbs' sail to sea. with his youngest (Michael Burns) and the disastrous visit of two righteous bores (John McGiver and Marie Wilson) who dote on birdspotting. Besides the effortless Stewart and Miss O'Hara, the Hobbses include Lauri Peters, Lili Gentle and Natalie Trundy as their personable daughters; John Saxon and Josh Peine, in-laws, and Minerva Urecal, the housekeeper. Among the bolder outsiders who almost move in are Fabian (song: "Cream and Reginald Gardiner.

The Crawling Philip Review Its title was an augury. The curtains parted Wednesday night at the premiere of "The Crawling Arnold Revue" 40 minutes late. The revue itself crawled not in pace, it was all pep, but in getting over ideas; indeed, in saying anything at all. It was entirely in the same frenetic key quick song, quick sketch, quick dance, quick blackout as though the performers were running through the most perfunctory rehearsal to make sure they had memorized everything. And since.

at the end of the first act, it was plain that what I had 'heard and seen was largely incomprehensible, I saw little use in returning for the second, This phenomenon took place at the Civic Playhouse. under the auspices of Nat E. Goodwin II. "Crawling Arnold," by Jules Feiffer. never materialized in Act programed at least to my knowledge so I am unliable to report on it.

A lot of other names were listed: ladditional material by Portia Nelson, staged by Mer-ivyn Nelson, choreography by Michael Callan, cast of 11. Tentatively, I can give you a few impressions: Ernestine Anderson huskily singing "Gettin' Over the i Blues." A librarian (Suzie Kay) suddenly going into a sexy dance with a late browser (Dale Babcock). A prim 'girl Iiva garden (Ruth Price) calling. "Nanny, nanny, 'It's time for my fix." A TV panel, "Mike Coates," with Bert Convy. An ensemble chorus that sounded like Wall" but that turned out on the program Jo be.

"Freeway Waltz." Two ranolvmarket shoppers Kathleen Freeman and Yvonne Othon) gushing over Mr. Clean. Three Radio City Music Hall Rockettes dancing out of precision. A psychiatrist and patient (Jered Barclay and Johnnv Melfi, or Johnny Melfl and Jered Barclay) chanting, "Hate." A hillbilly finale.
