Best Bets on Broadway

The Male Animal. Gay comedy, gaily revived, of a Milquetoastish professor menaced in class by a Vanzetti letter, at home by a varsity letter man (TIME, May 12).

Pal Joey. Revival of a topnotch Rodgers & Hart musical with a brilliantly tough John O'Hara book about a sexy rich lady who turns on her heel (TIME, Jan. 14).

The King and I. Charming Rodgers & Hammerstein period musical, with Gertrude Lawrence; how the King of Siam learned to govern from a governess (TIME, April 9, 1951).

The Moon Is Blue. Boy-Meets-Girl, Girl-Meets-Wolf, Wolf-Meets-Waterloo (TIME, March 19, 1951).

Guys and Dolls. Delightful low-down musical about Broadway's floating crap games and the Damon Runyon babes who need new shoes (TIME, Dec. 4, 1950).

South Pacific. Super-smash musical with a wartime background that will probably run longer-than the war did (TIME, April 18, 1949).
