THEATER
Death of a Salesman, "a feat of dramatic sensitivity and talent," makes its last performance tonight at 8:30 on the Sanders Theatre "stage."
Love Rides the Rails with charm and exuberance if not with professional skill, at 8:30 this evening in the Hasty Pudding Club, complete with music, villains, heroines, and hairy legs.
The Most Happy Fella is Frank Loesser's latest musical. Although not another Guys and Dolls, it's good for a two year run in New York and an enjoyable evening. At the Shubert at 2:30 and 8:30.
Bus Stop is here after a successful stay on Broadway. The comedy by William Inge is now entering its last week in Boston. Matinee at 3:00, tonight at 8:30.
MUSIC and ENTERTAINMENT
Marian Anderson will sing, as only she can, at Symphony Hall, Sunday, 3:30.
Harvard Freshman Glee Club will be soothing at Paine Hall, 8:30 Saturday night.
Julius LaRosa, of Godfrey and Paisan fame, will be at Blinstrubs while Carmen MacRae sings "charmingly" at Storyville. A belated St. Paddy's Day Ball will get rolling at Shamrock Village tonight.
Tanna Louise gets things moving at the Casino Theatre, where things have been livelier since the recent election.
CINEMA
Ten Days That Shook The World does not quiver as much as it did in the twenties, but is still a master-piece of photography. Although silent, there are enough explosions, tramping feet, and moving lips to hold interest. At the Brattle. No popcorn.
The Benny Goodman Story has Steve Allen puffing his cheeks and Goodman making the music. The music is good. So is the popcorn.
Doctor at Sea is moored at the Exeter, with shows at 2:25, 4:45, 7:05, and 9:30. The movie boasts British accents, slapstick humor, and interesting woman problems.
Diabolique still makes audiences squirm at the Beacon Hill. Horrible in a fascinating sort of way, shows are at 2,4,6,8,10, and not in between.
I'll Cry Tomorrow makes womem melt their white lace collars and soak their pink handkerchiefs at the Astor. Susan Hayward gives a sensitive portrayal of the life of singer and ex-alcoholic Lillian Roth. Shows at 1:36, 3:40, 5:40, 7:45, and 9:45.
The Body Snatchers invade the Paramount and Fenway Theatres. Pretty gripping. 2:30, 5:30, 8:15.
The Night My Number Came Up stars Michael Redgrave in a thriller. Although the story of a man's death dream apparently coming true seems contrived, it still manages to be exciting. In its third week at the Kenmore. 5:40, 7:43, 9:46.
Carousel still turns about colorfully on a big, big screen. Although not as good as the show, the movie contains much of the original flavor, not to mention new choreography and the beautiful scenery of Boothbay Harbor. Playing at the Keith Memorial, 2:29, 4:52, 7:15, and 9:38.
