The sold-out performance Saturday night at the Music Center's Ahmanson Theatre was a benefit for the center. The show's official opening is May 31. This was my first time to see it and Nancy's second," said Reagan.

"But she was as eager to see it again as I was for the first time. The special effects are just amazing." "I could come back and see it tomorrow night," said a beaming Nancy Reagan, who said she saw the production in New York. "It's so wonderful." Rain, rain, don't go away PITTSBURGH Three weeks of rain are giving actress-director Lee Grant the mood-setting drizzles for her film on the homeless. "The texture of the city with that grayness, it was beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted," Ms.

Grant said last week after the ains stopped. Ms. Grant and her husband-producer Joseph Feury are spending May in Pittsburgh filming next season's CBS movie, "Homeless." for 12 miles to set a record. The headaches were bad. but the nausea was worse.

He hopes to reach his goal of 25 records by the end of the year. Sierra Club honors Douglas CORAL GABLES, Fla. Marjory Stoneman Douglas warned "there's still a lot to be done," then accepted the national Sierra Club's highest honor for her efforts to preserve Florida's Everglades. "It has been the greatest possible happiness to me to have had this purpose and goal," the "grande dame of the Everglades" told state and national environmentalists Sunday who gathered to honor her. Ms.

Stoneman Douglas, 99, said increased public interest and political efforts to reverse developmental damage to the Everglades have "been the greatest possible pleasure in life." Ms. Stoneman Douglas, whose book "River of Grass-six decades ago helped spur the drive to create the Everglades National Park, has continued to vigorously advocate expansion of the Park and protection of other Florida wetlands and natural resources. "I think she has been to the Everglades what Winston Churchill was to Britain in World War II." said Mike Fin-ley, the national park's superintendent. "She has been the'leader, the conscience, the rallying point." Promoters say the broadcast will determine whether similar events will be carried live from Las Vegas. Newton, 47, is one of the Hilton's top attractions, working more weeks per year at the resort than any other performer.

Record-setter has new title SAN FRANCISCO Ashrita Furman, who holds more Guinness world records than anyone else, has added yodeiing to his claim to fame. The native New Yorker by Monday morning had yodeled for 27 hours, besting, he said, the current Guinness World Record ot 26 hours set in 1984 by Errol Bird in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. "I feel really good," he said after completing the grind at the Guinness Museum at Fisherman's Wharf. If certified, the record will be Furman's 15th. His others include running a marathon while juggling threo bal's in 3 hours, 22 minutes.

"I used to be the classic nerd a pure bookworm," said the 34-year-old bachelor who manages a New York City health food store. "I had no athletic interest at all." Furman began his yodeiing effort Saturday night and by mid-day Sunday the task was taking a toll on his larynx and vocal cords.

Mrs. Finley was born 73 years ago on a small ranch in Arizona. During her years in the Santa Clarita Valley she attended the First Church of Christ Scientist before moving to Big Bear in 1988.

A former beauty queen, she worked as a stand-in and double until she landed the leading lady role in Tex Ritter's "Arizona Frontier." Throughout the 1940s other films soon followed that teamed her with such Western greats as Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Johnny Mack Brown, Montie Montana and Buster Crabbe. Mrs. Finley was described as a "crack rider." In the 1950s she began doubling and doing stunt work such as falling off horses, wagons and cliffs, escaping from wild elephants, and riding zebras. She doubled for many of Hollywood's leading stars such as Elizabeth Taylor, Kim Novak and Debbie Reynolds. In recent years she worked for the Glenn Randall Ranch where she helped train riders for the "Arabian Nights" equestrian show.

She is survived by a daughter, Barbara Wiener, of Big Bear City; and a son, William George, of Folsom.
