Theater ads ran up front in The Sunday Times entertainment section, alongside movie ads and ads for major concert attractions.
Among them was an announcement that tickets were now on sale for "Annie Get Your Gun" being presented by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein and starring Ethel Merman , with music and lyrics by Irvjng Berlin, book by Herbert and Dorothy Fields , directed by Joshua Logan. Co-star Ray Middleton was billed below the title. This would be among the major theatrical events of the season and was much anticipated. However, the opening would be postponed due to a problem with the scenery rigging.
Among theatrical productions advertised that have not been noted elsewhere was Maurice Schwartz in "Yoshe Kalb" at The Windsor Theatre on East Fordham & Kingsbridge Roads in the Bronx. Schwartz was one of the biggest names in the Yiddish theater and Israel Joshua Singer's "Yoshe Kalb," about conflict in a 19th century Chassidic community, was one of his most notable roles. The ad claimed it was "the greatest production of the Yiddish theatre." It was premiering with a matinee on Tuesday the 16th. In 1946, I.J. Singer was better known than his future Nobel Prize-winning younger brother, Isaac Bashevis Singer. As the Yiddish-speaking population aged, Yiddish theater, one very popular, slowly faded away in the post-war years.
