A fl they wouldn't have chosen a hotter attraction with whirh 1o launch their season at tlir Whim TUm than "Oh, Men! Oh, Women!" Not only is this play by Edward Chodorov a first-ratjp, piece of farcical foolery, it has the added advantage rf being a brand new show for Piilsburghers, It made Us bow late last season in New Ywk but didn't go on tour.

AH the others are new to Ham patrons, and now is the time to hail a most, charming and talented young player, Lynn Bailey, this season's Ingenue.

However, Playwright Chodorov Is painstakingly lajjng his groundwork, and once the show swings Into high gear which it docs rather explosively it romps hilariously through to the final curtain with very few Iai'. Now this central situation is "sufficient for a deal of fun. However, Chodorov was in 'a generous mood when "Tiring his play, for he pro-vides another salty situation: a noted actor is at odds with his wife who Is also one of Hie psychiatrist's patients REGULAR value GOOD ONLY COLGATE DENTAJ. cunt size vanw Max Srar VIV-4VIU Ul Ul In Opera The Civic Light Opera's lentil season opens next Mondav night in Pitt Stadium with Damon Runyon'fi "(Juys and Piolls" and starring personalities from the stage, screen and the boxing ring.
