But this time it's not a song about a Cadillac-driving welfare recipient but about a man driving a "worn-out car," pulling "a home-made trailer with everything we own." "Color Me Country," tells of a poor, uneducated farmer who uproots bis family to move on and "go looking for a new life for my kid and my wife." In his song Eddie Burns of Abilene, tells the story of a poverty-stricken dirt farmer who "couldn't make it on that worked-out farm no more." The farm is near the central Texas town of Brecken-ridge. Folks Breckenridge, county seat of Stephens County, beard the tune and immediately fired off a barrage of sharply worded letters to the record company requesting "immediate, withdrawal" of the recording.

The winsome singer's appearance took on added interest because she's now divorced from William Harrah, owner of the resort Visit From Boss Man Miss Gentry said the boss man visited her briefly in her dressing room between shows opening night and wished her luck. "My quarters were filled with other people so we didn't get a chance to talk much," she told me. "He's not what you would call loquacious anyway." Miss Gentry has matured as a performer since I watched her work last season. Her type of singing remains individualistic, a combination, of country-western, contemporary, and folk, but she has learned to move in 1 agile and graceful style. She works with a group called Goose Creek Symphony, which looks raggte-taggle but provides satisfactory hillbilly musical backing.

A gifted impressionist, Rich Little, co-stars on the program. Miss Gentry completes her engagement Wednesday, with Sammy Davis Jr. moving into the Headliner Room spotlight Thursday. Lawrence Welk and his musicians and dancers continue at Harrah's Tahoe through June 29. Jim Nabors June .30.
