old' curmudgeon, which isn't really par for the course: Aside form the scintillation of Pearlie and Cab, there's no staggering display of talent, with the outstanding exception of Marki Bey' as the shrill and silly milliner's assistant who can be depended upon to lose her cool at the near approach of anything resembling a crisis. From then on, you know the score is tied, fun to fun. She puts her back and her heart into the role of the mature minx who makes matches for a living, but saves a juicy millionaire for herself. Pearl ad libs here, throws away a line there, improvises when she forgets she's supposed to be Dolly instead of Pearlie 'Mae. A drama award'she'll never win for this performance, but laughs she gets.

The acoustics and the microphones weren't as kind to her on opening night as they were to others in the big cast. There was a cavernous rumbling in the background of many of her spoken as well as singing lines. But she was electric all the way. Cab Calloway is a dancing, prancing delight as Horace Vandcrgelder, the skinflint who wants to wive it wealthily, but gets. married to Dolly because she wants to husband it wealthily.

The book says he's going' to be 64 next December, and that he led his first band in'Chicago in 1928. Ignore the book. It can't be right.

The Lamplighters Review presents "Those Wonderful highlights of the 30's and 40's, along with tunes of today. i 1 Pet Food BY PETER WEAVER IF YOU'RE a pet owner, you've no doubt scanned the latest pet food commercials and have been stopped by the tempting pictures on can labels. There's a "savory stew dinner." for a dog' put out by Alpo containing "chunks of protein-rich beef cooked together with vegetables simmered in their natural juices." Ralston-Purina offers a gourmet-sounding "sea dinner" which might well replace caviar for the affluent cat.

These supermeals for pets look good enough for you and me to eat. That's good marketing psychology because humans, not pets, decide where the money goes in the booming $1.5 billion-a-year pet food business. The savory-looking dog and cat foods are usually based on moist concoctions of canned meat and fish. They cost considerably more than the concentrated, less savory-looking dry food sold in bags. Veterinarian C.

Max Lang, chairman of the department comparative medicine, Penn State University, says the big reason you pay more for moist food than you do for dry food "is the fact that there's a lot of water in those cans." Penn State uses dry food with no water added mealtime. 1 Canned pet foods have as much as 78 per cent water in gy plier costs only 10 cents. Prices are even lower when you buy 50-pound bags from feed dealers found in yellow pages. Those are the prices. What about and nutrition claims? Canned, moist foods which are labeled as having a "balanced diet," not just meat or fish, are nutritionally about the same as dry foods.

AU-meat and all-fish dinners, without added vitamins and minerals, are not healthful as a steady diet for dogs and cats. According to veterinarians at the National Institute of Health Animal Center 500 cats, 800 dogs, pets crave the taste sensations developed in moist, meaty or fish-based canned foods much in the manner children crave hamburger. Unless the moist food rations are carefully controled, says one N. I. H.

vet, "Pets will tend to gorge themselves and become obese." Starting young dogs and cats off on dry food is easy. Taking older pets off a moist diet can be rough. They may not eat the new, dry food for several days. Tension mounts. "Pets are great panhandlers," says Penn State's Dr.

Lang. "If you can stand your dog or cat's pleading looks during this crisis period you are in." Many owners can't take it. them compared with only 10 per cent water content in dry foods. This means -you have to use as much as three times the moist food by weight to equal the concen- Consumerism trated, relatively waterless nutrition value of dry foods. On top of this, you have to pay from two to three times as much, per pound for moist food the water is included in that pound as you do for the dry food.

This means that using moist foods, based primarily on meat and fish, can cost more than five times as much as using dry foods. Doing some checking in my neighborhood supermarket, I found that the unit price per pound for Alpo chopped beef, Purina beef and Recipe liver and bacon averaged 29 cents a' pound. Moisture content ranged from 74 per cent to 78 per cent. Friskies kidney and chicken, in small, cans for cats costs 41 cents a pound. Purina sardines costs 41 cents, while 9-Lives costs 44 cents.

Poking over the dry food: bags, stacked near the checkout, counters, I found that prices dropped dramatically. Purina and Gaines 25-pound bags cost 13' cents a pound, Ken-L-Ration 20-pound bags with handles cost 15 cents and the store's own brand from a major sup Gala Weekend Special Arlington Park Theatre New.

Arlington Park Towers in Arlington Heights, Illinois Toothfairy Quits Moscow THE field of grandmasters seeking a chance to unseat the Soviet Union's world chess champion, Boris Spass-ky, next spring has been narrowed to four men. They are the survivors of the quarterfinals of the challengers tournament, a slow ritual that began last year and will climax this September when two finalists battle for the right to meet Spass-' ky with his title at stake. The quarterfinal play began May 13 and the first to reach the semifinal stage was I the Soviet Union's Tigran former world champion who lost the title to Spassky in 1969. Petrosyan was leading 4-3 in the play at Seville, Spain, when his opponent, Robert Huebner of West Germany, gave up eight days ago.

Monday, Bent Larsen of Denmark and Viktor Korch-noi of the Soviet Union moved up to the semifinals. A Ruff and BY CHARLES H. GOREN Neither vulnerable. South deals.

South opened the bidding with one heart and West overcalled with one spade. North could have made a free bid of two clubs, but he chose instead to leap directly to four hearts. This is a bit unorthodox with only four trumps, but there is compensation in the form of a strong, establishable side suit. West opened the king of spades, and seeing no reason to shift the attack, he with the queen and ace, South ruffing the third round THE ALUMNAE HELP KEEP THIS HIGHUAY BEflUHFUL DONT UTTER Larsen, playing at Las Pal-mas on the Canary Islands, defeated Wolfgang Ulhmann of East Germany while Korchnoi beat his countryman, Yefin Geller, 5.5-2.5 in Moscow. One quarterfinal contest is still in progress at Vancouver, B.C., where Bobby Fischer of the United States has a 5-0 lead over Mark Tai-manov of the Soviet Union and needs only half a point more to win.

Fischer's victory is regarded as certain. The semifinal competition gets under way July 4, with Korchnoi playing Petrosyan and Larsen meeting Fischer. The place of play has not yet been announced. Larsen, Korchnoi and Petrosyan have all been on the semifinal level before. In 1968 Larsen was defeated by Spassky in the semifinals of the tournament to find a challenger for Petrosyan, then world champion.

tBy The Assoclsted Press Sluf with 's deuce of hearts. The fate of the contract at this point hinges on. how declarer handles the trump suit. Inasmuch as West was marked by his overcall for length in spades, South decided to play his left hand opponent for a doubleton in Bridge hearts. So reasoning, he entered his hand with the ace of diamonds to lead a small heart.

West put up the king of hearts to win the trick and it is his play at this point that determines the fate of the deal. If he exits with a diamond or club, South can win the trick and obtain ready access to dummy to lead the jack of hearts thru East for a finesse against the queen. After trumps are picked up, declarer has the rest of the tricks losing only one heart and two spades. West realized the futility of assuming a passive role he continued with a fourth round of spades deliberately presenting his opponent with" a ruff and sluff. The effect was lethal.

South actually chose to trump in dummy with the 10 of hearts! East resisted' the temptation to overruff and, instead, discarded a club. Now when the jack of hearts was led from- dummy, he covered with the queen to dislodge the ace. East's nine of hearts subsequently scored the setting trick.
