THE COVER: Although the season has produced few musicals, two of them -- John Murray Anderson's Almanac and Kismet -- are among its brightest hits. The foursome on the cover is responsible in large measure for making this so. Veteran showman Anderson, recently called "king of revues" by Brooks Atkinson, is seen in one picture with Tina Louise, who typifies the show girl Anderson has brought back to Broadway. In the other photo are Doretta Morrow and Alfred Drake, principals in Kismet, musical version of the 1911 play which served Otis Skinner as a stage and screen vehicle. Both Kismet and the Almanac are reviewed, with additional pictures, in the On Broadway section.
