AUDREY HEPBURN -REX HARRISON NOW SHOWING TWENTY-FPIFTH ANNIVERSARY VINGT-CINQUIEME ANNIVERSAIRE ) 1966 The Big Comedy of Nineteen-Sexty-Sex! STARTS THURSDAY © PLAZA Ls: Angela Limbers Like Athlete For New Musical Comedy Role By WILLIAM GLOVER NEW YORK (AP) -- Angela Lansbury is limbering like anj athlete for another--and, she hopes, more durable -- go at Broadway musical comedy. "] just can't tell yet how much energy I'm going to need," she explains, "so I want to have plenty." Miss Lansbury, who has romped quite a dramatic gamut over the years, reaches Broad- way's Winter Garden May 24 in a show drived from the adven- tures of that incredible book- play - film heroine, Auntie Mame. To avoid confusion with all earlier incarnations, the new ex- hibit is titled Plain Mame. And, the star vows, the portrayal is going to be "completely differ- ent"' she survives. "The whole thing is being plotted very carefully so I dont have te keep running around out of breath," she says, | ticking off an awesome assort- ment of chores. Besides taking part in 11 songs--a rare num- ber for even an Ethel Merman or Mary Martin--Miss Lans- bury's assignment includes dance variety from tange to charleston and "about 40 cos- tume changes." Only once before has she es- sayed musical performance, in a fast flop two seasons back, Anyone Can Whistle. TOOK TESTS Although she emerged from the debacle with good reports, a lot of testing was done before she got the new role. Oddly, Miss Lansbury never saw any of her famous prede- cessors in the straight stage comedy Auntie Mame. Rosalind Russell did it first on Broadway just 10 years ago, and the fol- lowing parade there and in multiple touring troupes in- cluded Constance Bennett, Bea Lillie, Sylvia Sidney and Eve Arden.
