'21 THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER 1975 Saturday, May 10, No More Outrage, Protest For Oldtimer Janis Ian 7 si Wil Caldwell's Restaurant Guide "A '111 i i Pepper Pod Open In Newport By JIM KNIPPENBERG It's been a long time now since Janls Ian was the talk of the town. Almost 10 years in fact. Remember? She came on strong with "Society's Child" in the fall of '66 and then followed it with a whole pack of songs about cruelities inflicted upon sensitive people by an unfeeling society. The million selling "Society's Child" covered blackwhite romances. Others were on religion peace, discrimination of all sorts.

They weren't the best songs ever written, but they were perfect for working up a sense of outrage. Ian was, simply enough, all the rage among earnest semi-liberals. But she retired from performing long about '67, presumably to grow up some. She returned on a limited basis in '70 and is now returning again. Without, it should be noted, benefit of an audience ripe for indignant protest songs.

That's going to make selling records tougher than her first time out; and make It considerably harder to be noticed. She was going to open the Neil Sedaka show Wednesday at the Taft but the whole engagement was canceled. She also has a new album titled "Between the Lines" (Columbia), and a fairly heavy schedule of appearances up and coming. "Lines" is her second Columbia album, following the sadly soulful, highly Introspective "Stars," a marginally successful (commercially) but highly praised (critically) album. At least by those few who heard it.

"Lines" is the logical extension of "Stars." It's a new, more mature Janis Ian, not one licking real or imagined socially inflicted wounds and bristling with outrage at every turn. This is an Ian concerned first with herself, secondly with relationships on a number of levels. It is both a personal and a universal album, wide reaching, versatile and covering a sprawling range of emotions, both in terms of lyrics and vocal interpretations. Witness: "At Seventeen" Is about "those of us who know the pain of Valentines that never came;" a retrospec- For the past four years the modest Pepper Pod Restaurant has been in operation under the proprietorship of Eddie and Bill Barton, a father and son partnership. They evidently were doing things right because their business grew to the point of needed expansion.

They acquired the adjacent building last November. Since then they've been extra busy combining the two areas into one larger restaurant, with a seating capacity of 46 more guests. Father and son are especially proud of the finished product since they did most of the remodeling themselves. Located at 703 Monmouth Street, The Pepper Pod Restaurant is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and even provides complete Char-broiled steaks and biscuits for breakfast is a new menu item. During the Grand Opening celebration this week-end a special $1.99 dinner is in effect.

It's done with remarkably little sentimentality or self pity. Just a touching little story about how it feels to be overlooked and left only to fantasies.

"Watercolors" is another retrospective. Again, only a little sentimentality. It's about an affair which didn't work out, done with a trace of bitterness, some despair and a great deal of insight into love-hate relationships. It's one of those songs you can listen to and learn a lot about yourself from, even though It's about someone else. A number of the songs on "Lines" deal with love, more often lost than won.

But it's not giddy, squealing cheerleader preteen love music. Instead, It's thoughtful, carefully worked out, finely honed material speaking not of one woman's relationships but of those of many people. Most people. The voice Ian does all of this in, somewhat more adult than the one we heard a few years back, is smokey and thick, coming from deep in the throat and packing a major emotional punch by the time it finally gets out. A fairly respectable range, particularly strong in the middle to upper register, adds to the emotional power.

Look, the time has come to stop thinking of Janis Ian as a preteen folkle who's mad at the world. She's a grown up lady now, complete with a realistic, if unique, way of looking at things, the ability to translate these perceptions into song and the talent to sing them with a fragile power and a torchy air which makes each song an event. So what else could you ask?

But hating Is not the style of the now-prosperous Philadelphia tailor.

Remembering Is. In two tortured years at four concentration camps before his liberation, Shay saw his father die under Nazi rifle butt blows, his mother led off to burn in the Auschwitz ovens, his two brothers and sisters taken away by the Germans for unknown destinations and himself a guinea pig in a sadistic operation. Today in the thlrd floor of his home, Shay keeps an entire room filled with German and Jewish mementoes, Including gruesome reminders such as a child's gas mask. He also has yellow armbands with the word JUDE In black, documents bearing Adolph Hitler's signature, boots once worn by an S3 member, a silver table knife from Berchtes-Kaden and a handsome Torah from a Warsaw ghetto. "I collect both sides," he says cheerily.

"I can't be bitter, it would be against my grain." After the 'war he worked with the American troops looking for the SS. 'The first storm trooper I found I gave him a bitter beating," Shay said. "Then I stopped and I said, 'My God, what am I doing? I'm stooping to his level. I never touched another. I didn't want to become the animals they were." The Nazis arrested him on August 9, 1943, and he was sent to Auschwitz.

He exchanged his name for a number tattooed on his arm-it's still there, 135584. In January, 1945, he was moved from Auschwitz and survived two more camps, Oranlenburg and Sachsenhaus-en, before arriving at Dachau. Shay found one of his brothers in the English sector, and eventually all the brothers and sisters reunited. Today, In addition to operating a custom tailoring shop, he gives about 50 lectures a year.

Saigon broadcasts monitored In Hong Kong and Thailand said foreigners, once they are registered, "may resume their normal work" provided they obey the laws and do not oppose the New South Vietnamese regime. Their movements will, however, be restricted to Saigon and special permission will be needed to move, change Jobs or visit the airport or harbor.

The new rules resemble those in force in the Soviet Union and European Communist countries. They apparently apply to diplomats, newsmen and trade representatives from friendly Communist countries as well as Westerners. The revolutionary government also warned other countries against unauthorized overflight of South Vietnamese air space. From Enquirer Wires South Vietnam's new revolutionary government on Friday restricted the movements of foreigners still in its territory, including diplomats and UN officials. It warned them to register with 15 days or face punishment.

The government also demanded the United States return 80,000 refugees it charged were forced to leave the country, in some cases after being drugged, the Yugoslav news agency Tan-jug reported from Hanoi. North Vietnam, meanwhile, accused the United States and Thailand of "unsavory tricks" which allowed a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier this week to repossess more than 100 aircraft left In Thailand by fleeing South Vietnamese pilots.

Physics Course Still Open The International A Restaurant By UP International Former Foreign Minister Abba Eban said Friday Israel was to blame for the collapse of Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's last Middle East peace mission because of its unrealistic expectations about Egypt's bargaining position.

Eban said it was too much for Israel to expect an Egyp-tlan pledge of nonbelligerency in exchange for a partial Israeli troop withdrawal from the Slnal Desert. IN CAIRO, President Anwar Sadat said In a news briefing published Friday that the reconvened Arab-Israeli conference in Geneva would be "the last hope" for Middle East peace. He said the United States "holds all the cards" in the crisis because of its military and economic aid to Israel.
