4B ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Feb. 24, 1986! musicthe arts Washington University Student Is Killed While Parachuting Smoking Called Ruinous To Longevity In Women- Reviews Compiled From News Services SPARTA, 111. A Washington University student plummeted to his death Sunday in a parachuting accident, authorities said. The student, Jeffery Rimarcik, 18, of New Brighton, was killed when his main parachute failed to open properly.

He crashed into a back yard near the Star Lanes bowling alley irf Sparta, police said. Ri-marcik's parachute jump was his 11th. The jumpmaster on the flight, Larry Bozic, witnessed the accident, police said. Bozic told police that Ri-marcik's parachute had taken longer than usual to open and had failed to operate properly. He apparently tried to jettison the main parachute but mistakenly cut loose the reserve parachute, police said.

The reserve chute that Rimarcik was wearing normally would have opened automatically at 1,000 feet, police said. Searchers needed about one hour to find Rimarcik. Police said Rimarcik apparently had gone by himself to the Archway Parachute Center in Sparta to do some jumping. Rimarcik landed on the ground in the back yard of a house at 113 Sproul Street about 12:20 p.m., according to police. He was dead at the scene, police said.

PITTSBURGH (AP) Women are losing their life expectancy advantage over men because of the growing number of female smokers, not because of increased stress, a researcher says. "The life expectancy of men and women will be about the same in the next 40 to 50 years," said Gus H.Miller, director of Studies on Smoking Inc. "Firstly, women are smoking more. Secondly, men in the older age have been quitting smoking at double the rate of women, so they are living longer," Miller said. Miller's findings were reported in the February edition of the New York State Journal of Medicine.

Miller, 61, a statistician and one-time smoker, studied statistics compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics for American men and women who died after the age of 30 between 1920 and 1983. He found that women lived an average of one or two years longer than men in 1920, a ratio that climbed to a high of 7.8 years in the late 1970s. The longevity difference has fallen steadily since then and stood at seven years in 1983, the latest year for which accurate figures are available, Miller said Saturday. The average American man lived to be 71.7 years old in 1983, and the average woman lived to be 78.7. "Smoking is the best explanation of the longevity differences," he said.

"Increased rates of mar-1 tality closely correspond to the smoking habits of men and worn-' en over the past century." Miller discounts theories that, attribute the widening longevity, ratio, at least until the 1980s, to a-genetic inferiority among men- or hormone protection among worn- en. He also does not accept explanation that women's emfir- gence in high-pressure jobs has shortened their life expectancy. "Stress is not the he said, adding that he's comparing male smokers in high-pressure jobs with their non-smoking male counterparts. Black men and women, for example, lived to about the same age in 1920, Miller said. But once black males began smoking in greater numbers after World War II, the gap widened and peaked at 8.8 years during the 1970s, He" said.

The longevity difference between black men and wonjerj stood at about 8.2 years in 1983; "Putting these two (comparisons) together, none of the other theories can come close to ex'- plaining it," he said.

He established an organization called The Alternative Movement for Non-Vio-lence, and in 1973 he participated in a protest expedition to France's South Pacific nuclear testing site of Mururoa. Mr. de Bollardiere's pacifism developed after a long military career highlighted by his work for the Resistance in Nazi-occupied France during World War II.

GEN. JACQUES PARIS DE BOL-LARDIERE, 78, a French war hero who became a pacifist, died Friday of cancer at his home in Brittany. Mr. de Bollardiere caused an uproar in the French army in 1957 when he asked to be relieved of his command in Algeria to protest the torture of Algerian rebels. He was confined to quarters for 60 days before being transferred to the command of a French unit in Cameroon.

Visitation after 3 m. Mon. acters, but does it with superb subtlety, and Laurie J. Trevethan's costumes continue the cool feeling that Grivna succeeds in conveying. The plot is both complex and simple: Tobias and Agnes are a long-married, wealthy, semi-happy couple, awaiting the return of their 33-year-old daughter, who has just left her fourth husband.

Agnes' sister, Claire, lives with them. Claire drinks, and the sisters fight like well, like sisters. Suddenly Harry and Edna show up. They are the family's oldest friends, and they suddenly arrive, apparently to move in, chased from their home by an unnamed terror. Over the weekend, hidden fears come out, hidden thoughts are revealed, strengths and weaknesses are emphasized.

Everyone tests his or her own boundaries, and the similar boundaries of the others. Fontaine Syer is brilliant as Claire, the unmarried woman who notes that she has known a lot of men, but all of them briefly and "none of my own." Syer benefits from Albee's most brash lines; she's the renegade most easily identified with, she plays the accordion and she blows smoke rings, and she makes Claire one of the most entertaining and interesting women seen on a St. Louis stage in a long time. Alan Clarey has a tough job as Tobias, and he carries it off beautifully. He's the same type of ordinary man that Henry Higgins claims to be in "My Fair Lady," but he is forced out of his comfort and into the difficult position of having to think, and maybe even to act.

Clarey grows stylishly throughout the evening, and the results are highly satisfactory. The major problem with the opening-night performance was Leah Jansky, as Agnes, who talks early in the play about "chewing the ribbons on her dress" and delivers as if she were doing just that. She swallows whole chunks of dialogue and races through her lines as if she were preparing for the Indianapolis 500. This problem seemed to interfere with most of the first-act pacing, which seemed erratic and, too often, too slow. Jansky was better by the third act, but she still destroyed too much of Albee's great prose.

John Grassilli and Cara Lytle were solid as Harry and Edna, respectively, and Pamela Sterling was a properly brittle Julia, but I had trouble getting a handle on her character, which I think is more a shortcoming in the author than in anyone else. "A Delicate Balance" brought Albee his first Pulitzer Prize, in 1967 resulted in the second, eight years later), and it is brilliant theater, excellently produced. this weekend at the New City School. Albee's genius focuses here on boundaries the boundaries of love, of friendship, of relationships of all types and boundaries, of course, I also bring up the question of rights. i He penetrates this difficult territory with consummate skill.

We're in a theatrical period when Sam Shepard is the heroic playwright, and the praise for him is well-deserved, but I wonder if there would have been a Shepard without an Al-bee. Though Shepard plows the same ground, he does so far more fiercely. Albee's passion, while burning as hotly, is more controlled. Shepard attacks an audience; Albee seduces it. The pain of "Buried Child," for example, is present in "A Delicate Balance," but Albee's approach is more stylish, less heavy-handed.

The impact is no lesser, maybe even greater because there are fewer layers to peel away before one reaches the heart of the matter. And at the same time, Albee's characters balance on the thin edges of their lives in exactly the same manner as the little fiddler on Sholom Aleichem's roof balances on his. The Theatre Project Company, which is having perhaps its best season ever, has come through with another splendid production, with lots of credit to Grivna and the technical staff. The staging, always with large spaces between the characters, emphasizes alone-ness, which Albee also brings in speeches that are much like soliloquies. Mel Dickerson's set is outstanding in several respects; the large amount of furniture serves to keep the people apart, and the use of glass and chrome epitomizes cool.

Louis Repertory Dancers still as energetic in performance style and eclectic in philosophy as ever held forth in Washington University's Edison Theatre over the weekend with a program titled "Divertimenti." To describe their latest effort, they could just as aptly have used the sin- gular form of the Italian noun, for the entire package like each of its nine pieces was decidedly lightweight, a collection of short and breezy works that were rarely thought-provoking but generally at- -tractive and almost always entertaining. That's not to say the event was devoid of choreographic substance or seriousness of mood. In Michael Ballard's "At Moonrise," for example, "the stiff-armed, hieroglyph-based movements of the couple (Angela Culbertson and Paul Mosley) stood in Isharp, and beautiful, contrast to the more fluid action of the priestly (Ballard himself) they encounter in a silvery temple-like environ-'ment, and the scenario's conclusion I with the couple drifting off one way and the solitary figure another provided a dramatic parallel to the wistful accompanying music of Debussy. There was a certain wistfulness, too, in Gale Ormiston's "The Solitary "Couple," although it was contained only in the brief isolated solos Ormis-' ton and Suzanne Grace danced at the beginning and end of the piece, not in the mostly "happy" pas de deux (a facile combination of balletic part- nering and standard ballroom steps) that made up its relatively large midsection. disco dancer.

And Annelise Mertz, the veteran teacher of modern dance at W.U. and artistic director of the company, unveiled "Youkali," a sometimes slinky but ultimately uneventful solo (danced by Claudia Hol-zapfel) set to a tango song by Kurt Weill. The three older works were a pair of subtly athletic solos from Murray Louis' 1964 "Landscapes" (delivered with superb muscular control by Ballard), Grace's jazzy and sassy 1985 "Uh Oh" and Mertz's 1983 whirling-dervish fantasy "Ceremonial Rites." On the whole, the most innovative element of the evening was the music a combination of live percussion and overlayed synthesizer tracks that Lance Garger produced for Gash's "Ascent II." But even this fell into the same category into which the dance pieces might be lumped. The whole show seemed designed primarily for the sake of amusement, and on Saturday night it easily succeeded in reaching that apparent goal. Fn rl Dirtctfi 0240 Fwttrl Pirtcton ALBERT H.
