Laurence Olivier as Archie Rice

Associated Press photograph titled 'A New Olivier'. Caption on back reads: For the first time in many years, Sir Laurence Olivier is playing a modern, non-classic role. He is appearing as a happy-go-lucky song and dance man in "The Entertainer", which will have its premiere on Broadway, New York, on February 12. A sinister look appears on Olivier's face as he plays the part of Archie Rice, the song and dance man in "The Entertainer".
