4-B Monday. Dec. 22, 1980 Philadelphia Inquirer THEARTS- Dear Santa: Please bring a big new hall Jane Fonda is a divorced woman returning to the working world in "Nine to Five," a satire that starts strong, but sputters. On theater mii.llll.. I II" I' II I 'tkXsJ 1 I III I I II III Mill jSs il 1 M' I Male pigs, unevenly roasted hesitated about bringing the production to Philadelphia.

It is a scenically elaborate show with a large cast and a justifiably expensive star in Angela Lansbury. Sweeney needed to clear $200,000 a week at the Shubert box office just to break even, and it hadn't done nearly that well in the early going. One problem surely was that Miss Lan-sbury's standby, Denise Lor, was performing the midweek matinee. "In a larger theater," Woodward said, "we could have recouped on weekends. We're selling out on weekends.

As things stand now, we hope to make up our losses in Boston." For years, Boston has been the favored city for tuning up productions of serious plays. Will it now also get the musicals which have always preferred Philadelphia? If it does, the reason will be that (Boston did something to improve its 'situation. It renovated a big old movie house, which, as the Metropolitan Center, is in a fair way to take whatever comes, since it has a seating capacity of 4,200. This includes not only Broadway musicals but attractions like Britain's Royal Ballet, which will visit Boston, Toronto and Washington after New York next year but not Philadelphia. Barnum, the peppy, playful musical about P.T.

Barnum, is sending out a national company in the spring. The tour is slated to open at the Shubert. But I heard the other day that doubts are setting in about playing a theater that small. Look at the trouble that Sweeney Todd ran into here. Nobody wants to run so serious a risk.

Dear Santa: Help! By William B.Collins Inquirer Theater Crtlie I have decided to believe in Santa Claus again. I figure I might as well. He cannot be any more a figment of my imagination than City Hall or the Philadelphia Establishment. They don't exist either, at least not where it counts around this desk. So what am I asking Santa for that they won't give me? A nice new theater, comfortably seating 3,000 of us, with a parking garage underneath for convenience and safety.

Forget the fancy wrapping. Just leave it somewhere in Center City. We'll find it easily enough. And don't tell me that 1 don't really need it. I know better.

I just got off the phone with a guy in New York who is involved with the plush revival of My Fair Lady, in which Rex Harrison is repeating his original starring performance. The production is on a national tour before New York. "Well, yes, they did consider bringing the show to Philadelphia," the fellow said, "but they decided against it. You don't have a big enough theater. Some thought was given to the Academy of Music but other bookings there made that impossible." Large Broadway shows with higher and higher operating and moving costs are increasingly limiting themselves to cities where they can clear expenses in auditoriums that seat between 2,500 and 4,000.

The Academy of Music holds 2,929 in seats from which you might or might not have a clear view of the stage and, besides, as the man says, the place is always heavily booked with orchestra concerts and other events. The Forrest and the Shubert are each limited to around 1,800 customers; the Walnut to slightly more than 1,000. The Locust (1,439) appears doomed anyway by plans of the crowd running that hotel across the street. The facts have been known by Mayor Green's administration and all the people who make things happen culturally in Philadelphia. Yet, in the last year, we have seen the vision of a downtown performing arts complex begin to wither with the consent of both sets of forces.

And I keep wondering if they really know what they're kicking away. A week ago, I ran into Chuck' Wood-ward, co-producer of Sweeney Todd. He and his partner, Dick Barr, had farce that is both unlikely and inconsequential, and the rest of Nine to Five is no more than amiably amusing and a little drawn-out. To sustain the hectic turns in its plot, the movie is forced to suggest that rat poison is a staple in the office coffee room and, more damagingly, to reduce Coleman to the kind of skulking chauvinist who more properly belongs in one of Gloria Steinem's nightmares. The decisions made by Higgins not only give us a poorer film but detract from the very valid points it is trying to make.

Coleman's character is so outlandish that people who need to be persuaded may leave the movie thinking that such behavior and attitudes do not exist. And that's a pity, because this is obviously a comedy made with good interi' tions as well as shrewd commercial calculation. clock and the opposition presented by merely living in a city. Once in the office of Consolidated Industries, three types are quickly fleshed out. Parton, who has a natural ease in front of the camera, is Coleman's secretary and, her co-workers believe, his mistress.

Tomlin is a figure all too familiar in business, a woman whose skills and experience far exceed those of the men promoted over her. Her salary, of course, does not even come close to theirs. Fonda labors against a casting that makes her a nervous ingenue in the office world, a woman returning to the working world after a divorce. She seems to be constantly restraining her natural forcefulness. The film begins to unravel after a very funny sequence in which the three women's vengeance fantasies against Colemen are depicted.

Higgins turns to ty of an office stud making a pass near the water cooler. Perhaps Higgins feels that the blatant inequalities that prevail in corporate America need to be bludgeoned home to the audience before Nine to Five can proceed. It has led him past the satire of a stereotype into broad caricature. The standard-bearer of the pigs of America (Dabney Coleman) is such a swine in matters great and small that he undermines the satirical points the movie is bent on making. This is keenly disappointing because Nine to Five has something to say before it descends to a level of dumbness that contrasts with the hopes one brought to the movie and its sprightly opening.

Higgins suggests countless American women trapped in numbing routine by running his credits over their efforts to get to work against the ticking of the By Desmond Ryan Inquirer Movie Critic Nine to Five is a good idea that runs out of steam before the morning coffee break, a syndrome that will be familiar to millions of Americans who toil in the monotony and petty tyranny of offices. This movie has loomed as one of the delectable treats in a Christmas movie season that is proving long on tinsel and short on substance. The casting of Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda as downtrodden secretaries trapped in a bastion of male chauvinism that could do service as a pig sty seemed especially promising. And the premise of the film touched upon a subject that needs airing. The trouble is that Colin Hig-gins, the director and co-author of the screenplay, has approached this with all the subtle Large Broadway shows are increasingly limiting themselves to cities where they can clear expenses in auditoriums that seat between 2,500 and that's a reason to skip Philadelphia.

It's the who's who that makes this whodunit work one after another and a violent murder becomes no more than an intellectual conundrum. The puzzle in The Mirror Crack'd is resolved with the usual patness and the alert viewer will not be surprised. Miss Marple never struck me as a creation to rank with Hercule Poirot, and the setting of The Mirror Crack'd is hardly imbued with romance and mystery. But the actors enter into the spirit of this handsomely produced film, and it is one of the more pleasant surprises of the annual Christmas movie deluge. has to seem unduly and given his rank unconvincingly slow as the case unfolds.

Hamilton adopts a leisurely style, sometimes as placid as the rural village where the action takes place. Taylor and Novak are making a film about Mary Queen of Scots. Someone is trying to poison Taylor and, of course, everyone has a motive. The film is afflicted with the unhealthy attitude toward death common tq this school of mystery writing. There is no emotional registration when the characters drop out several scenes in which they parry lines of cutting bitchiness with great zest.

Tony Curtis borrows heavily from one of the best roles of his career, The Sweet Smell of Success, to adorn the film with a portrait of a sleazy Hollywood producer. Since The Mirror Crack'd is set in the England of 1953, some of his lines and mannerisms are anachronistic, but who cares? No one can pick up a phone and snarl, "Get me the Coast!" with Curtis' flair. The trouble with Hamilton's film is the slow going that sets in between these set pieces. This is one of Christie's Miss Marple stories and the character that Margaret Rutherford made her own is here done com-mendably by Angela Lansbury. One of the problems in Christie's invention is that the old lady has no legal authority and the chores of detection are thus divided between her and her nephew, who is, conveniently, a Scotland Yard sleuth.

In order to make Miss Marple the source of all the sharp dissection of clues, the detective (Edward Fox) not as exotic as the other recent Christie films Sidney Lumet's Murder on the Orient Express and John Guillermin's Death on the Nile. What elevates the entertainment is a cast that mixes reliable English character actors with some stars who rarely grace our movies these days. A delicious stroke of casting pits a depressingly plump Elizabeth Taylpr against the still striking Kim Novak as two aging doyennes of the screen who cannot stand each other. The screenplay by Jonathan Hales and Barry Sandler provides them with By Desmond Ryan Inquirer Movie Critic Guy Hamilton's The Mirror Crack'd is a defiantly traditional Agatha Christie whodunit that is enjoyable for the turns gleefully offered by the stars rather than the plot itself. The film opens with an audience in an English village hall watching the denouement of one of those conventional mysteries where the detective confronts an assortment of upper-class bores in the drawing room.
