CalArts Modular Theatre shaped up as a dining room the other night when pop art pioneer Roy Lichtenstein was honored by the California Institute of Arts in Valencia and more than 150 guests sat down to have dinner with him. Some of the guests came from as far away as New York to dine on Tournedoe D'Rossini, scuffled potatoes, spinach roll Wellington, buttered baby carrots, fresh fruit and lemon crepe. All served in the backstage atmosphere. During a reception in CalArts' main gallery Lichtenstein was welcomed by institute's president Robert J.

Fitzpatrick and his wife Sylvie of Encino. Before and after dinner, guests viewed the collages and drawings in the Lichtenstein exhibition thats continue through Sunday. And some of the guests, like Susan Baumann of Valencia, the Jack Clarks (he's dean of administration), the Ralph Hetzels Jr. of Encino, Doug Huebler of Van Nuys (dean of art and design) and date Stephani Weinschel, stayed on to watch the traditional Wayang, or Shadow Play, presented by R.

Actress discovers her niche Fashion shows don't just happen. And more than three months ago, when Jackie Joseph, the actress, began her transformation to Jackie, the fashion show producer, there were many fashion shows in the history of the Western Children's Brand Wagon, an association of children's wear reps, that just as well shouldn't have happened. Until Jackie.

"It all started when I went to the California Mart (13 floors of clothing manufacturers' showrooms) to get advice on the possibility of marketing something my mother-in-law had come up with. And someone asked if I did fashion shows." Jackie always has been one, she says, to consider "interesting strings being dangled in front of you because they might be worth following." And, now in the process of a divorce from actor Ken Berry after a 16-year marriage, she's finding that her natural awareness and willingness to try new things is really paying off. "I'm always considering alternatives," says the mother of two adopted children John, 13, and Jenny, 12, who have inspired her many years of work with adoption organizations. "I never think of myself as being'out of work' Just waiting" When the idea of doing the fashion show was presented, her complete lack of experience in the job didn't stop her for a second. Weeks of visiing every potential participant (there are 92 members of Brand Wagon and 85 ended up showing one garment each), weeks of working with children of friends, her own and students at Carolyn Kassel's Charm and Modeling School in Burbank and a lot of talent finally made "Tradition" what it was.

"Fantastic!" said Peggy Zamberlan of Youngland. "It was exciting and very creative, and it just kept flowing." "It was the best show we've ever had in the 15 years we've had shows," said Henry Kahn of Lo-Bel. "It was professionally done and she showed more personality and know-how than the 'professional 1 people we've had before." Ada Rosenschein of Miss Quality had many people in her showroom after the show requesting the garment she'd shown. "This show," she said, "was far superior to those in the past." Perhaps George Geminer of Health-Tex summed it up best: "There were 600 people there and nobody left." "One thing many of the participating manufacturers worried about," says Jackie, a resident of Toluca Lake, "is that oftentimes before, when a mqdel appeared, the wrong name would be read. And when you only can show one thing, that's pretty disastrous." But there were no slip-ups this time, in a show that was done to the music of "Fiddler on the Roof (Jackie's friend Stan Worth was at the piano, and several of her other friends were scattered throughout at various "help" stations) wjth models who stole the hearts of the audience and a commentator who sang.

"Many of the people there literally had tears in their eyes at some points," said the one-time Doris Day sidekick and funny lady. And, to thank all "her kids," she'll give acting lessons at the modeling school. But, perhaps more importantly, Jackie Joseph, the actress, has proved that she can be Jackie Joseph, anything-she-wants-to-be. "I hope it's an inspiration," she says "1 know now that it can be done. That I have created a job market for myself and I still can function as an entertainer." And, she was so good, they've asked her to do it again.

And, they want to know how much it'll cost. She laughs. "There's no money on earth to pay for time like that'" PATRICIA VARIE What's new Salon educates as it shampoos CMMndre 2Mt, the ulta-futuristic hair salon in Tarzana, has brought "show-biz" to its clients. Audiences, they say, are leaving the salon "beautified and edified" through the use of televisions over head. But, says Geri Cusenza.

artistic director, it's not the latest "soap" they're seeing, but scenes from educational films detailing a new cut, a new color method, a new process for professional hair care Cusenza directs and produces the video tapes in conjunction with Sebastian, International, a professional hair-care company based in Southern Califor nia. Each month, subscriber salons, who rent equipment from Sebastian, receive new half-hour tapes. The idea bloomed from seminars for professionals taught by Sebastian and Cusenza. Mr. Blackwell, Los Angeles' own outspoken fashion designer, has fulfilled his "possible dream" and now is offering cutting table patterns so home- sewers can make their own Blackwell designs.

He has chosen, for this first time out, five styles representative of the Blackwell "pretty, feminine and classic" look. There are the Princess, the Caftan, the Shirtdress, the Turtleneck Float and the Scoop- neck Gown.
