I also liked Ann-Margret's "Take a Little One-Step" number. PRESLEY PLEASED me with his slow rock, balladlike numbers. "It's Over," "Blue Hawaii," "I'll Remember You," "Hush Little Baby," "Early Morning Rain," and "My Way" particularly turned me on.

Despite his leers, body Ann-Margret a a singing voice that sometimes reminds you of the whlney kid next door. Although she will never sell a million records, her voice is acceptable enough to fit into a power-packed nightclub act. It comes across on TV, too. In particular, I liked her "Legend of the Lady in Red" production number, a spoofy recount of the does maintain a semblance of good taste in his work. He even admits to giant dimples a sort of blush when the gals yell and swoon.

He works hard. It was obvious on TV Wednesday night. He was that close to a award-winning TV show. It wasn't his fault that it did not achieve that altitude. ONLY INCHES separated that 21 2 hours of Wednesday nigtit NBC-TV specials from attaining utmost class.

Call It the class of being considered for TV awards. Those two specials came mighty close. In back-to-back block-busters, Elvis Presley and Ann-MargTet had stages of their own. Both maintained that plateau necessary for a one-man show to captivate an audience.

"If li's Musical, Think Howard Early" an NBC camera to his face and shooting away hurts the Elvis image. All those closeups knock out about half of the mystique." "Kndp" thought the TV sound was too perfect for Elvis. "He was made to sound rather distant and to have his voice mingle Just a bit with the rumble of Uhe, sound system.

It's all too slick for the Elvis Presley we all grew up with." Despite those drawbacks, Jim "loved" the special, "for no other reason than the fact that it was Elvis," Jim's negative points were probably two of the reasons I enjoyed Elvis. To each Ihis own. FOR ANN' -MARGRET, it was her first TV since she suffered serious injuries last September in a fall during her Las Vegas ad It was an auspicious return. She isn't as versatile as Liza but she surely commands a stage as well. When I think of award-winailng, one-man concert specials, I think of Liza MinneM's "Liza With a last September.

That's a certain Emmy nominee and I will almost bet Liza, producer Bob Fosse and the show share the Emmy spoils May 22. IN THAT HOUE, Liza was never threatened as the top, single attraction. There were no guest stars, no opening-closing fanfare away from the concert and hardly a non-musical moment. It brought out the best in Liza. But, in Wednesday right's two specials, there 5657 Creek Road (1 DiocK east ot Kenwood Road) were outside influences which took away from the principals.

Im "Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii," it was the opening, unnecessary segment. What Elvis lover, curious on-looker or fan of music saw in Presley's helicopter landing in Hawaii is beyond ma I wanted to see him immediately sing, "contort" and leer. The hula girls and his handshakes, etc. were trite. THE OTHER thing that bugged me was producer-director Marty Pasetta's use of rapidly-changing shots of the performing Elvis.

It (infused my eyes. I was ready for a headache powder. Somebody told Ann-Margret she had to have Bob Hope and George Bums as guests to sell her special. That "somebody" ought to go back to selling soap, encyclopedias or what-have-you. She needed them the way Pete Rose needs two gloves to catch a flyball.

Otherwise, Elvis and Ann Margret captivated me. I enjoyed the insights into both of theim. The 90-miniute Elvis show gave perfect exposure to his staging and stage talents. Ann-Margret's hour did the same. JEN KXIPPENBERG, The Enquirer's rock critic, had a different viewpoint.

"Elvis is to be worshipped from 'afar, like a god," he said afterwards. "Sticking 1:30 p. 12, GIFT OF TERROR: Young girl has power to see into future in ABC's Afternoon Playbreak. 7 p. 12, WILD KINGDOM: Close Study of the Japanese Macaque.
