As Kansas in Autumn

Take your mother, your sister, your young nephews and nieces, your maiden aunt to Mr. President and they’ll have a marvelous time. But Achtunq! take not, at risk of social ostracism, that Bryn Mawr sophomore (Soc. major) or the know-it-all young account executive at BBD&O, because the new Irving Berlin show is “out” with the “in” set. (On and off Broadway at the moment, Bertolt Brecht, Brendan Behan, Edward Albee are “in,” Irving Berlin, Lerner & Loewe and Mary Martin are “out.” Mary Martin’s been “out” for years but neither she nor her audiences are “in” enough to know it and they continue to enjoy each other in happy unawareness of their outness.)
