I concur with Steve: "The Magic Onion" is of that era.

Richard, did you write a book on children's theatre that was published by
Rosen in its Theatre Student Series, just as George Latshaw's book was?  Or
was that another author of the same name?

Dear Richard
I think you are thinking of the Magic Onion by Bil Baird which did appear in

a women's magazine in the 60s

The Henson pattern came later
