AT THE moment I am In love with a girl who asks October questions, speaks in cellophane whispers, and, in the end, makes no more than pastel promises. She doesn't actually appear in a delightful new Off Broadway revue called “Hark!” which is presently spinning its way about the four pillars and five painted circles that shape the stage of the Mercer‐O'Casey. She is only sung about (very nicely sung about, over a gift‐wrapped pianoforte, by Dan Goggin and Marvin Solley, who also happened to have written the notes). For that matter, I'm not entirely

LOS ANGELES—The Wilshire Hyatt House, where Senator George McGovern is staying, features a singing group called The April Fools. That billing on the marquee could also refer to most of the politicians and newsmen in town, all those experts who thought, only two months ago, that Senator McGovern's lonely, long‐distance run for the Democratic Presidential nomination would collapse well before the finish line.

THE kind of musical that Broadway has needed for some time will finally get there this week—after playing for quite a while Off Broadway. On Wednesday, “Grease” transfers from the Eden Theater on Second Avenue to the Broadhurst on West 44th Stret.
