Reprise of 'La Ronde' at Craft Playhouse The stars, including ballerinas Galina Tjlanova and Maya Plisetskaya, were addressing foreign theater companies on "International Theater Day." According to the official Tass News Agency, they said in a statement that the theater could be either a boon or a bane. "We are deeply worried over plays in many theaters advocating spiritual capitulation and hopelessness, that a Eos afterus Hfmea 11 1970-Pirt IV wave of obscenity is sweeping some theaters where commercial art is reigning, which shows a pretty and consoling lie." The statement did not mention western theaters specifically, but it was clearly that they were being criticized. Tribal council members are Sam Baltazar, Lewi3 Virgil, J. Gabriel Abeyta i'chicf accountant), Barbara Gonzales, (tribal secretary), Bill Riggs (lour-i director), Beatrice Kemme, (editor, Jicarilla Chieftan) and Thomas Olson (attorney). The film will be pro-duced'by Lubin and Bloom's Harvest Productions in association with the Kirk Douglas Bryna Co.

Soviet Stage Stars Talk on 'Obscenity' Excluslv to Tht TirnM from Reottrs MOSCOW Leading Soviet theater stars recently lectured their colleagues abroad about "spiritual capitulation" and a "wave of obscenity" in the commercial theater of the West. Douglas and Cash Will Star in Film The Jicarilla Apache American Indian tribe will finance the film, "A Gun-fight," starring Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash, to be directed by Lamont Johnson. The association of the Jicarilla tribe and (producer Ronnie Lubin, wriler-producer Harold Jack Bloom and actor-producer Kirk Douglas is said to be a step toward bringing Indian people into the mainstream of American economic life.

Nancy Jones as the Whore is mostly tired; and Barbara Bishop as the-Parlor Maid walks helps mechanically, responding to arbitrary cues that are totally divorced from feeling. Even less can be said of their male companions, who all turn in singularly meek 'and otonous performances. A goodly portion of responsibility for this tedium rests on the shoulders of director Rick Walters. He has thrown in a considerable amount of disrobing to heroic flights of romantic music, in the place of a proper understanding of the play. Instead of the genuine relationships, the delicate and intricate psychological interplay of male and COLUMBIA PICTURES Presents a WILLIAM WYLEB film ROLE Joan Alcorn plays the wife in a men-age-a-lrois household in "Monjque," due at Cine-Cienega April 10.

It is good showcase material and makes relatively complicated technical demands. Best of all, imagination and talent will take it anywhere it wants to go. The trouble with the current revival of this pas-de-deux at the Theater Craft Playhouse, is that talent and imagination are sorely lacking, and the 'production very simply goes nowhere at all.

With the exception of Mery Theresa as the Young "Wife, and Michael I.

But somehow now is even more adventurous than then for the actor.

He has three movie scripts and two plays to-read at home. Not tied down by a studio contract, he is free to make a movie and then head for Broadway without any legal hassle. His next movie, "Lovers and Other Strangers," is being released later this year. And fans have revived and renewed their interest in his career. The only person who doesn't approve of his nomination role is his 92-ycar-old father.

Kenny-Kingston, the same man who predicted last year that Barbra Streisand wouldn't win or lose, has predicted that Young and Jane Fonda will win Oscars. Young is restless, excited, and afraid. Young's agent steers the conversation back to "Horses." "Horses" grossed more -than $1 million in the first week of national release and has been nominated for nine Academy Awards, but not as best picture. Some feel that youth cannot identify with the depravity of the marathon spectacle. Young disagrees.

'They may not be. able to identify with a time in history when so many people were starving and out of work, because being out of a job means nothing. But they can identify with the people.
