I he show, produced by David Merrick, was imported from Hollywood with some the cast menilxrrs who made it popular there. It stars Barbara Heller, ay De Witt. Dick Patterson and Mickey Deems. I he principal writers were Jack Wilson. Alan Jeffreys, Mark Bucci and Deems.

Here arc some of the critical comments: Douglas Watt of the New Yoik Daily News Since revues seem to be out of date, its a sad thing to realize that we eant ask for some sketches by George S. Kaufman and some songs by Rodgers and Hart. Thcrcs not a tune in Vintage 60. Walter Kerr of the New York Herald Tribune If Vintage 60 proves anything at all, it proves that fresh, inexperienced young people can come to New York and goof just exactly like talented, middleaged professionals sometimes do.

Wisa DOrso li.is been building tip hci reputation as Broadway, movie dnd 'IV ddnccr. Next week, though, might nidik cnteidl point in her cdrccr. Wisa. currently djneing her wjy through flic' Wcstbnr.

Music Fdir production of West Side Story, says she hjs to m.ikc a decision soon dftcr the touring stock company ends its run Sunday night. I've got to decide whether Ill stay home and raiic a family, nr else take a job as a regular dancer oil the Pciiy Como 1 slum, iaid the fivi-foot. foiir-ineh-tall dancer. She is married to dancer Jim Hutchison, vv Ini'll returning Sunday fnmi a summer stock tour of his own in another West Side Story production. It's a big decision, I know, Wild said, because Fvc been working on the commercial side of my career for almost six years.

It's not the first time that tlie dancer has dropped her career, she said. Then it was because of my first nuniage. But I really don't know what made me go back to dancing. Its not the greasepaint glamor, I know that. Wisa mentioned the economic rewards of dancing professionally.

You don't sneeze at $17? a week as a 'IV chorus dancer," she said, even though its easier to turn down S10S weekly as a Brojdway chorus dancer in favor of motherhood. But more than money, she said, there is that feeling of being in the spotlight tliJt one seldom has while changing diapers on a habv. I just cant say why I dig it so much. 1 love to dance, to express myself that way even though what Im doing is really commercial jazz djneing. she said.

l.Jit April, when she and Hutchison were married, she learned that shed he going into the summer touring product mil of West Side Story in June. Because of the commitment, any thoughts of raising a family right away had to be postponed. Next week, with her decision coming tip on whether to appear on the Perry Como Show- throughout the 1960-61 IV season, it might turn out to be another year before she can think about becoming a lrou.icwifc. So its a rough decision for me any way you slice it, she said. Perry Como Show fans who want to know which way she decided can do so simply be tuning in when the show debuts Oct.
