LIFE'S COVER: "MARY MARTIN: Texas to Broadway." Alfred Eisenstaedt took the cover picture of Mary Martin on the stage of New York's Imperial Theater, Nov. 25. He had just returned from photographing the glamorous stars of Hollywood. So it was natural that he should be sent to take LIFE's pictures of the 22-year-old Texan who has become the U. S. theatrical discovery of the year. He found Miss Martin an auburn-haired miss, 5 ft. 4 in. tall, with a soft Southern accent, proudest of being an honorary Texas Ranger. For pictures of the song that rocketed her to fame, see page 29.
