Saa thaatar listings. 8-B. for theaters and thowtimas. By RONALD BOYO St. Pataraburg Timai Critic 3W and frustration with her ill father.

Blaming his distant personality for her own difficulties, she struggles to put up with him. Ethel refuses either to sink into her husband's despair or rise to her daughter's indignation. Instead, she soothes them both, advising Chelsea to put the past behind her and telling Norman, "You know you're the sweetest man in the world, and I'm the only one who knows it." As the young couple takes off for a vacation in Europe, Norman and Ethel play the role of grandparents for the flippant Billy, who resents being "dumped" for a month with a couple of old fogeys. Gradually, Norman and Billy cross the 67 -year gap between them and become fishing buddies, much to the delight of Ethel. By the time Chelsea returns, the dynamics are right for her to tackle her own mixed-up relationship with her father.

THE REMARKABLE pairing of the father and daughter Fondas provides the film with a rare real-life crossover. Jane Fonda, whose company owns the film, told Time magazine, "I've always thought of On Golden Pond as a present to my father." The scenes between the two are charged with an emotional intensity that suggests there is more to this film than fine acting. The personal bond between father and daughter, including all the fears and doubts, is present in convincing amounts. But the movie's foremost theme comes from Norman's struggle to find a dignified way to accept death and the ailments that precede it. Between Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn there are 95 years of motion-picture acting and 129 feature films.

Yet these two Olympians of the screen had never met, let alone acted together, until the film On Golden Pond. But if ever there's been a motion picture collaboration worth waiting for, Fonda and Hepburn in On Golden Pond is it. In the waning years of his career, Fonda has found in the movie version of Ernest Thompson's play a role that should make him the shoo-in for the only major acting award that has eluded his distinguished career the Academy Award for best actor. HIS BRAVURA performance as an irascible old man who fears and caustically jokes about the approach of death merges beautifully with Hepburn's buoyant presence as his loving wife. For the 48th summer in a row, Norman (Fonda) and Ethel Thayer (Hepburn) return to their cottage in New Hampshire, now to fish, reminisce and grapple with old age.

They are joined by their divorced, 40ish daughter Chelsea (Jane Fonda) and her new boyfriend (Dabney Coleman) and his 13-year old son Billy (Doug McKeon). Not long after the serene opening image of Golden Pond settles in the mind, some nasty currents begin to break through to the surface. Chelsea fights to contain her anger Univaraal Studios Norman (Henry Fonda) and Ethel (Katharine Hepburn) stand in as surrogate grandparents for Billy (Doug McKeon) during his summer stay. An intelligent screenplay by playwright Thompson and the tender direction of Mark Rydell allow Fonda's Norman to flourish. Forgetful and humorously realistic, Norman wants nothing of self-pity.

He struggles to express his emotions to Ethel, as she holds him near with all the interest and delight of a teen-ager on a big date. At age 77, Fonda suffers from disabling heart disease, much like Norman in the film. Hepburn, on the other hand, seems as fresh and spunky as ever. As Ethel she plays a devoted and somewhat traditional wife. Yet her eccentricity bounds forth in almost every scene.

WITH FINE ACTING by Doug McKeon as young Billy and Dabney Coleman as Chelsea's boyfriend, On Golden Pond rates as an exceptionally strong actors' film. It is indeed a gift, not only from Jane Fonda to her father, but to those who go to see it.

SOMETIMES THESE substitutions are simple as when aides help a retired professional keep up with his field through library books and magazines. But often they challenge deep-rooted staff assumptions about what older people should or shouldn't do. For example, Mrs. Fox urges care-givers to reassess their beliefs about the older person's sexual feelings. "We tend to desex them, to shift them into neutral.

The question is: Do I consider the older person, the institutionalized person, capable of desire and fulfillment?" Mrs. Fox says care-givers should put aside their preconceptions and instead consider "health, desire, discretion and privacy" as the primary factors in assessing "sexual problems" among nursing home patients. None of Mrs. Fox's information is new, and she generally steers clear of statistics or other research data. But her common sense, anecdotal approach stirred a responsive chord in her audience.

As an insider, she is tuned in to the limitations and frustrations that confront nursing home workers. FOR EXAMPLE, St. Petersburg listeners nodded vigorously when she spoke of the "doorsill doctor" the physician who smiles at patients from the doorway but glosses over their symptoms as inevitable side-effects of aging. She says nurses must realize that most doctors are not trained in geriatric medicine and may be truly unfamiliar with patient needs. Nurses can help remedy this by rewarding doctors with frequent progress reports when they do take older patients seriously.

Pataraburg Times Critic TAMPA A spectacular musical experience awaits symphony-goers this weekend when the Florida Gulf Coast Symphony repeats the exciting program it played here at McKay Auditorium on Thursday night. Musical director Irwin Hoffman's programing is varied and well-balanced, including a stunning Pulitzer Prize-winning work. All performances are superb. And guest pianist Jorge Bolet, a favorite with area symphony audiences, brought the listeners to their feet with his superlative artistry. Bolet is a striking figure, a large man whose coat-tails nearly drag the floor when he sits at the piano.

His large head immediately is arched over toward the keyboard, where it remains throughout his performance. Only at the beginnings of movements does Bolet lift his head momentarily, glancing at conductor Hoffman to give his consent to start. BUT THIS QUIET demeanor is only in appearance. Bolet's marvelous technical abilities are filled with warmth and excitement in the extremely difficult Brahms Concerto No. 2 for Piano and Orchestra.

This is a work reserved for super pianists by the nature of its demands. During its 50 minutes and four movements, this major concerto contains a continual progression of huge chords with melodies in octaves, multiple trills, arpeggios up and down the keyboard by both hands, chromatic runs in thirds, rapid jumps in all registers of the instrument, two-against-three and syncopated rhythms that could snag the fingers of all but the most expert technicians. Total concentration and extreme memory control are required for the serious and profound score. "Are we ready for our little pill, ducky?" "If we'd eaten all our din-din, we would't be hungry at this late hour." These one-sided fragments of nurse-patient conversation were recorded by Nancy Fox, a nurse-turned-lecturer who Thursday conducted a one-day workshop at St. Petersburg's Enoch Davis Center.

The comments sound trite but harmless until you realize that these patients are not children. They are nursing home residents, often twice or even three times older than the staff members who "humor" and "baby" them. Mrs. Fox refers to this behavior as "infantizing" robbing the older person of his right to maintain self-esteem in the face of medical dependency. "When you say 'we' to a client, you are taking away half of his identity," she says.

MRS. FOX'S workshops this one sponsored by the Mental Health Association of Pinellas County and St. Petersburg Junior College are aimed at sensitizing nurses, relatives and other care-givers to the needs of those who require long-term institutional or home care. The Oregon-based practical nurse draws lecture material from her own experience in nursing homes and hospital geriatric wards. Mrs.

Fox says most problems in geriatric care stem from "low expectations." Care-givers assume that the elderly are no longer capable of functioning as full adults. Wheelchair or home-bound older people then conform to these new expectations, resulting in "man-made senility." Mrs. Fox believes that many behaviors identified as "senile" are really the result of depression or unexpressed anger. She encourages care-givers to take a problem-solving approach: learn as much as possible in jjut Famous Brand Furniture Priced To Move! Bolet possesses the abilities to handle all this with such great ease that unless you know the score you might think he was relaxing at times. His calmness and unrushed approach allow him to place his hands carefully and securely just where he wants them, digging deep into the heart of the piano for the most solid, sonorous tones, and never arousing the slightest feeling of urgency or concern.

His clean articulation of every note and phrase results in the greatest clarity. Bolet and the orchestra were powerful partners in their brilliant performance of the Brahms. Several principal players had lovely solos, but none was more impressive than the glorious singing cello melody in the third movement, played exquisitely by Blythe Tretick. When he returned for his first curtain call, Bolet, with great charm and gentleness, walked across the podium to Ms. Tretick and kissed her hand.

ORCHESTRA, TOO, was at a peak Thursday night, with its sweeping colors, flexibility, sensitivity and expressiveness not only in the Brahms, but also in the sweeping and descriptive Fountains of Rome by Respighi. Lush, rich sonorities, pulsating and throbbing rhythms, flowing wind solos, piano and harp glissandos fill the auditorium in this thrilling piece. Control, balance and ensemble were exceptional. A new musical climax was reached in the fascinating Aftertones of Infinity by Joseph Schwantner. The 15-minute study in sound and color textures was an immediate hit with the audience.

From the most intimate and introspective glistenings to the shock of heavy drums, this shimmering, ethereal work seemed to move in a series of melodic and harmonic sliding patterns. While shifting downward through string harmonics and tremolos, Mideastern double-reed undulations and bass drum and tympani heroics, ha fit Mf a variety of "new" colors were added percussion instruments were bowed; all 88 piano keys depressed simultaneously by a 2 4, rabbeted (grooved) to fit the black keys; an eerie, hummed pitch emanating from the instrumentalists. The work moves from lovely pitched sounds to sudden percussive shocks, with rhythmic impact and volume contrasts which are infectious. Aftertones has a personal, invading quality to it. It is more than an experiment in color, sound and orchestration.

The score has lasting impact and quality, and the unusual use of instruments is both meaningful and effective. Audiences are likely to want to hear this again which has not been the case with many first performances of contemporary works by this ensemble.

Still in his 30s, Frost has been associated 16 years with (and manages the galleries of) New York dealer J. N. Bartfield.

At an auction last September, Bartfield Galleries was the biggest buyer, paying $308,000 for a Worthington Whittredge landscape, Indian Encampment at the Platte, in fine condition.

SHOP DAILY 10AMTO9PM SUNDAY NOON TO 6PM It happens to many of us: an errant damp finger, a dip in the pool, some unscheduled tears and our carefully applied mascara drools from eyelashes to cheeks. In frustration, we go to all lengths trying to avoid water not easy with eyes running from winter cold or hands wet from household chores. But there is an easy solution to the problem, according to a magazine advertisement buying Aziza Really Waterproof Mascara. "Aziza Introduces Really Waterproof Mascara," says the headline. Over the photograph of a model swimming underwater her mascara confined to her eyelashes the copy adds: "We call it Aziza Really Waterproof Mascara.

And it's the one that really lives up to its name." THE COPY continues: "Of course, we know that most of you don't spend much time under water. But you do swim, run, dance, perspire, walk in the rain and even laugh till you cry. So, we created a new mascara that not only makes your lashes look darker, fuller and more gorgeous, it really is waterproof. So it won't streak, smudge or run into your eyes when it gets wet. And that's how Aziza Really Waterproof Mascara keeps your lashes looking beautiful.

Even on dry land." An Aziza spokeswoman explained that the product is waterproof "under conditions when lashes come into contact with Watch This Spaca is a feature in which The St. Pataraburg Timas puts advertiaers' claims to the feat. water." She added that even rubbing the lashes with wet hands would not affect the mascara. The spokeswoman did caution, however, "If you have oil on your hands (such as the body's natural oils) and rub, (the mascara) will come off. The product is waterproof, not oilproof." She added that any residue of mascara remover or moisturizer might also affect the product.

When asked what would happen, therefore, to the product's waterproof qualities if used with oil-based makeups, including foundation or eye colors, she answered: "Oil-based makeups may present a problem with smudging." TO TEST the product's claim, the spokeswoman suggested applying the mascara as we normally would and then subjecting it to water. Keeping in mind the effect of any oil on the product, we carefully cleaned our lashes to remove any residue of oil. We then applied Aziza Really Waterproof Mascara to the lashes on one eye, and Revlon Natural Wonder Gentle-Lash Waterproof Mascara to the lashes of the other eye. We did not apply any other makeup. After carefully cleaning our hands to remove any oil residue and waiting a minute or so for the mascara to dry, we splashed water on our eyes and rubbed the St.
