Under such categories as "Loosely Based On" and "Freely Adapted From," Broadway goes on musically robbing Peter to pay Paul. Alice will take Lewis Carroll's little girl on a drug trip. Cherry sets William Inge's Bus Stop to music, and Yellow Drum, based on Truman Capote's The Grass Harp, reiterates Broadway's faith that a weak play sounds better set to music. Robert Shaw will star in the hymnbook version of Elmer Gantry, Sinclair Lewis' novel about a corrupt evangelist. Fellini's film La Strada is being unspooled...
