With some reason there seems to be ture in New York's Town Hall ing night for their acting abilities, but their lack of musical talent renders the RCA Victor original cast album a major And more's the pity because Robert Merrill's music and lyrics often hold great promise. Songs like "Take Me Along," "I Get Embarrassed" and "Promise Me a Rose" have lilt and melody and charm. They cry out for a singer just one would do, but two would bolster the illusion that this is supposed to be a musical but there's not a voice in the whole shouting match. The fireside listner, who can't share the joy of the Gleason-Pidgeon soft shoe act that breaks up the show, is left with nothing but a very pleasant overture and 38 minutes of unsung songs by linsinging singers.
