THEATER

On Broadway TINY ALICE. Who is Alice? Where is she? The questions are being asked by students of the drama, psychologists, and even by the playwright, Edward Albee, since the opening of his confused and confusing--but engrossing--mystery.

POOR RICHARD. Jean Kerr sacrifices some laughs in treating two serious themes: the capacity to love and the squandering of talent. Still, wit and insight inform this tale of an English poet on an alcoholic sabbatical in New York.

THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT. A book clerk (Alan Alda), who thinks himself an author, and a prostitute (Diana Sands), who considers herself a model, come to grips with each other in Bill Manhoff's screeching comedy.

-All times E.S.T.

LUV. Murray Schisgal laughs through his characters' tears, while Mike Nichols' direction and the performances of Eli Wallach, Anne Jackson and Alan Arkin make love seem an outrageously humorous subject.

Off Broadway

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE. Arthur Miller's tragedy of a Brooklyn longshoreman with an incestuous fixation for his niece may be more Freudian than Greek, but it pulses with the fury, pity and seeming inevitability of obsessive self-destruction. Director Ulu Grosbard and an emotionally committed cast have charged this ten-year-old play with electricity and tenderness.

WAR AND PEACE. Tolstoy's hand of genius grips the Phoenix stage in the APA's production of the 100-year-old classic. Rosemary Harris as Natasha and Sidney Walker as old Prince Bolkonski lead the cast in performances of finesse and authority.

TARTUFFE. Lincoln Center's interpretation of Moliere's comedy has too much bounce and not enough bite, but Michael O'Sullivan's Tartuffe is a surrealistic and fantastic acting creation.

BABES IN THE WOOD. The Globe never saw anything like Rick Besoyan's loose musical adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Its good-natured brashness provides a pleasant evening for lovers of light, spoofy theater.

THE SLAVE and THE TOILET. The color scheme is black and white, and Negro Playwright LeRoi Jones turns a harsh spotlight on both races in his studies of interracial love, hate and resentment.

RECORDS

Choral and Song

LEOS JANACEK: THE DIARY OF ONE WHO VANISHED (Deutsche Grammophon). A love story told in 22 haunting songs by the late great Czech composer, who wrote them in 1919 when he was 64 and passionately in love with a married woman of 26. Tenor Ernst Haefliger sings ardently as the country boy who vanished from home, Mezzo-Soprano Kay Griffel is the gypsy who lured him away, and Rafael Kubelik the pianist who plays an eloquent role in unfolding the feverish musical drama.

HANDEL: DETTINGEN TE DEUM (Angel). Written in English to celebrate the victory of King George II at Dettingen in the War of the Austrian Succession, the triumphal Te Dcum is sung in German by four soloists and the South German Madrigal Choir, conducted by Wolfgang Goennenwein. But the choice of language is a secondary consideration in a performance with such sonority and style.

MAHLER: KINDERTOTENLIEDER (Deutsche Grammophon). Mahler composed these heartbreaking "Songs on the Death of Children" the year his first child was born; she died a few years later of scarlet fever. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, who has the voice of a baritone angel, keeps within the bounds of taste but still wrings every gallon of sentiment from the music.

FOUR CONTEMPORARY CHORAL WORKS (Cambridge) were commissioned in 1962 by the Ford Foundation to help update the repertoires of church and synagogue choirs. Ulysses Kay used Psalms 5 and 13 as his text and turned out a modern spiritual. William Flanagan set verses from Ecclesiastes into gliding dissonances. Most melodic: Ned Rorem's Two Psalms and a Proverb ("Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow?"). Most arresting: Charles Wuorinen's Prayer of Jonah, which he chopped into fragments and described as a "complex of canons." Daniel Pinkham, who chose the composers for the project, conducts these performances by the King's Chapel Choir of Boston and the Cambridge Festival Strings.

SONGS OF SENTIMENT (RCA Victor). The selections--including Mother o' Mine, The Lost Chord, At Dawning, The Vacant Chair--might be something to smile about, but John McCormack sang them with the same understanding and finesse that he lavished on Mozart. Most were recorded before World War I, and the orchestra is creaky; but the rich Irish tenor voice sounds youthful and remains smooth and resonant through the softest shadings.

CINEMA

HOW TO MURDER YOUR WIFE. The mayhem in this nimble comedy about a man who gets drunk and marries without malice aforethought is plotted by Jack Lemmon, whose fracturingly funny performance is abetted by Terry-Thomas and Italy's Virna Lisi, a luscious import who makes hard-sell sex seem as classy as caviar.

NOTHING BUT A MAN. As hero of a sincere, forceful drama that avoids both preachiness and skin-deep sociology, a confused young Southerner (Ivan Dixon) discovers what it means to be a Negro in America.

MARRIAGE-ITALIAN STYLE. Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni and Director Vittorio De Sica animate a hilarious, fiercely moral old tearjerker about a Neapolitan pastrymaker who is hounded to the altar by his tart.

THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG. A shopgirl submits her first careless rapture to sober second thoughts in French Director Jacques Demy's sadly cynical fable, entirely set to music and done up in candy-box decor.

ZORBA THE GREEK. Guided by Director Michael Cacoyannis, Anthony Quinn gloriously attains the high points of Nikos Kazantzakis' novel about a rip-roaring old brute who teaches a timid essayist (Alan Bates) to get out of his books and get into real trouble.

WORLD WITHOUT SUN. The fear and fascination of day-to-day existence in an experimental tank town under the Red Sea are coolly recorded in this eerie, colorful documentary by Oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau (The Silent World).

SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON. A very mad, very English, very nearly preposterous thriller about an unhappy medium who masterminds a kidnaping is played with blood-chilling conviction by U.S. Actress Kim Stanley.

GOLDFINGER. Ian Fleming's gadget-happy gumshoe Agent 007--alias James Bond alias Actor Sean Connery--gums up a dastardly plot to take Fort Knox off the gold standard.

TO LOVE. In naughty Stockholm, a lively young widow (Harriet Andersson) sheds her mourning garb and goes overboard with a rakish travel agent (Zbigniew Cybulski) who persuades her that lust is for the living.

MY FAIR LADY. Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn in G. B. Shaw's classic Cinderella story, set to music by Lerner and Loewe and dressed for the occasion in Cecil Beaton's eye-popping finery.

BOOKS

Best Reading

THE ORDWAYS, by William Humphrey. From memorable tragedy (Home from the Hill), Author Humphrey turns to delightful comedy with this tale of the fun and foibles of a huge East Texas clan, producing what perhaps is the best comic novel since Faulkner's The Reivers. It is yarn-spinning in the best tradition of the South.

THE WORLD OF JOSEPHUS, by G. A. Williamson. The enigmatic life and times of the renegade Pharisee who went over to the Romans while they were conquering the Jews, then spent the full measure of his years in comfort, writing his own apologia and the only substantive account of two momentous centuries of Jewish history.

PRINCE EUGEN OF SAVOY, by Nicholas Henderson. A deft biography of the neglected French military genius who furthered the fortunes of the Habsburgs after Louis XIV told the insulted young man he was fit only for the priesthood.

JONATHAN SWIFT, by Nigel Dennis. A clinical closeup of the most powerful ironist in British letters, who was also the blackest of all the great blackguards to lacerate man's conscience, until his own raging soul sank into stupor and lunacy.

THE THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS OF JEAN MACAQUE, by Stuart Cloete. Rollicking from bed to bed in Boccaccio-like revelries, a fictional philandering journalist discovers between the sheets that erotic pleasures are man's refuge from death and despair.

FRIEDA LAWRENCE, edited by E. W. Tedlock Jr. The letters, essays and memoirs of D. H. Lawrence's wife etch her as a Lawrencian nymph who drove the prophet of free sex to Victorian rage.

THE FOUNDING FATHER, by Richard Whalen. The intriguing saga of Joseph P. Kennedy, son of a barkeeper-politician, and how he acquired his millions and founded a political dynasty.
