We want Booth!" a crowd thai fills sea of the Adams Memorial Theater in Williamstown, where the new musical, "Mr. Booth, is being readied for its first professional presentation i cries out. But something not quile right and a sharp command from director i Psacharopoulos brings stage proceedings to a halt, onlv to start over and over again i it is just right.

3 Shadowy Figures In the darkened auditorium, behind Ihe last row of seals, are three shadowy figures, standing apart, but with a strong, if invisible bond drawing them logclh- er These three shadowy figures are the young men responsible for the writing of "Mr. Booth" and on Ihe success of the musical's presentation by the Williamstown Theater may depend a Broadway or off-Broadway production of the work. The young men are Austin Pendleton, 23, who wrote the book; Peter Bergman, also 23, who is for the lyrics; and Arthur Rubinstein, the "old man" of the trio he is an aged 25 -who has done the music. Sitting talking to the while lights on stage are being adjusted, one wonders at their calm of the talking for the trio allhough others are by no means silcnl partners, lells how work on the present "Mr. Bcolh" started more three, a a year and a half ago.

There was a previous version. JUMBO, wimTM. At first the collaboration was car- ness only to be told, with a certain ried on by long-distance phone degree of "what is to be, will be," and, while Mr. Pendleton was in lhat it is the calmness of exhaus- Greece last year, by bulky let- ers.

Booth," the musical that will open this evening at Williamstown Theater, wait calmly for audience judgment on their work.

Some song included in the original score, have been dropped because they did not fit into the period of (he work while other songs have been written or revised to conform to this period in the lives of Junius and Edwin Booth. Mr.

Pendteton points out that the musical never strays from the period because the character of the central figure, that is Junius Booth, is such a strong one that it just will not permit any straying. Mr. Bergman and Mr. Rubinstein are quick to concur with this statement. Asked if the music is "way out," the three answer in unison that it is definitely not, that it, too, is flavored by the period and that it is very foot-tapping, singable music.

With Strong Bonds Tonight Ihe curtain will go up on "Mr. Booth." Tonight there 1 be no stopping of the show by Mr. Psacharopoulos if something should not be to his liking. Tonight Ihere will be 'ihree shadowy figures, each slanding alone in (He rear of the Adams Memorial Theater, three persons, each alone with is thoughls, but three persons with strong bonds.

Three young men will stand quietly in the back the theater. They may pace a little, but there will be the calmness of exhaustion, exhaustion earned in the trials and tribulations of artistic production.
