They were dressed identical to the matron of Laughter er Totie's Best Medicine LATHAM The old adage. "Laughter is the best medicine," might be the key to describing the Totie Fields Show, on stage at the Coliseum Theater here through Saturday. Comedienne Totie Fields, who suffered a severe physical setback two years ago when a vascular infection forced the amputation of one leg, has overcome the adversity life placed before her by turning pain into laughter. And laughter is what she brings to the audiences who attend her performances at the Coliseum. Miss Fields makes her first entrance, resplendent in a glittering shell-pink pants outfit, designed for her by Hollywood's Bob Mackey.

To the audience, who receives her with a standing ovation. she says. "Sit down. I haven't done anything yet." Her opening number is a cute song, probably written for the occasion, called "I've Got Friends." which she certainly has. The audience is bubbling over with warmth toward her.

She thanks the audience for all the good wishes, cards and letters she received during her illness and tells them that without all this love she could never have made it. Love and laughter are for her the, words that make the difference between surviving and not Surviving. Her close friends gave her laughter, not sympathy, during her convalescence, and they still do. She reads some of the telegrams she received before the show: Singer Edie Gormet wrote, "Break a Leg." Frank Sinatra sent the message "Blue is a violet, red is a rose, I still love you even with only five toes." Gerald Ford said, worry about stumbling. I didn't and I was President." She talks openly and humorously with the audience about problems with her new leg.

She says when she first saw her prosthesis (terminology for an artificial limb), she said, "That's the ugliest looking leg I ever saw." And then she discovered it looked just like her other leg. She also says she always wanted to' be tall and maybe she should have both legs "done." The audience is in hysterics. "Laughter is healthy," she says, and the jokes keep coming. She then switches topics to her diet and bemoans the fact she can no longer eat as she pleases. "Do you like me better thin?" she asks.

The audience says. "Yes." She says she was happier fat. "Thin people don't live longer." she says, "it just seems that way." Everyone laughs. There is always an element of truth in what she says. Totie Fields' rapport with her audience is almost total.

She exudes so much energy from the stage that everyone is on the edge of his seat. There is a lot of give and take between the star and the audience. She encourages audience participation by asking questions and then elaborating on the answers she gets. She talks about subjects everyone can relate to: Husband and wife irritations like getting the menfolk to put on: a tie. Going clothes shopping, popular TV programs, like game shows and soap operas.

The audience loves her routine about soap operas. Sometimes her material is a bit off-color. "This is not dirty," she says of one joke. "Just tasteless." Her humor is in her total honesty. After about an hour on stage, Miss Fields takes a break, a short period filled by innocuous comedian Davey Karr, who generally kibbitzes and fiddles a bit on a violin.

When she returns to the stage, she has changed clothes and wears a long sparkling white gown with loose angel sleeves, also designed by Mackey. "Isn't this gorgeous?" she asks. And it is. She looks lovely. During the second half of her show, Miss Fields does a short routine with her George Johnston, whom she calls She mentions that she and are no strangers to this area as they spent their honeymoon at Lake George.

Many people who think of Totie Fields as part of the Vegas scene are surprised to find she grew up in Hartford. got her show biz start in Boston and summered in Lake George. Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs. Miss Fields ends her performance by singing. "I Got and by the end of each show, she certainly has added many more to that list.

The entire "Totie Fields Show." which is led off by the colorful blonde singer Gloria Loring, who entertains for the first half of the program, lasts about 21 hours. Performance time at the Coliseum is 8:30 p.m. Tickets are available through Ticketron. Singer Tom Jones is next on the bill, opening Monday. ANN LANDERS Vernon Corrupted Blaze first question asked me by every one of the last 600 men I have met was this: "Where do you work?" Then they demand to know the name of the company, how long I've been there and where it's located.

If I explain that I have worked hard at all kinds of odd and skilled jobs for. the last 20 years, they are unimpressed. Actually, I'm on Social Secrutiy disability and it's none of their business. To look at me a person would never guess there is anything physically wrong. I am also one of the few women left in the world who gets alimony.

Believe me, I earned every cent of it. (He was a louse and I took plenty before I filed for divorce.) But I don't dare mention it because Women's Lib has made alimony a dirty word. How do I answer these illmannered slobs which is everybody? A.A.G. Dear A.A.G.: In our country, "Where do you work?" is considered a perfectly respectable conversational opener. If you resent the question you could say, "I'm a hooker." It 'will probablly bring the quiz to a prompt halt and show the questioner that you have a sense of humor.

(I hope.) Dear Ann Landers: Don't be SO quick to eat your words about transvestites. Some may be faithful husbands who get their jollies from cross-dressing and go no further, but my ex-husband was one and no attractive male was safe with him. He paraded around the streets of Union, N.J., in Thursday, Aug. 18, 1977 Work the occasion, the fashion conscious man Whatever won't have any trouble finding the perfect shoe this fall for his multi-faceted life style, according to the Or Play Footwear Council. "Refinement" is the key word in fall footwear this year, the Council says.

'Refinement' Key Word For Fall Footwear NEW YORK (AP) is the keynote for fall footwear, according to The Footwear Council. Elegance and a sweeping attention to detailing will be the hallmarks of men's, women's and children's shoes. The easy silhouettes and interesting textured fabrics of ready-to-wear will be complemented by glazed leathers, higher heels, and lots of new boots. In men's shoes, smooth highly polished leathers will be most important for dressy styles. Joining the ranks of browns and blacks will be a whole new range of lighter colors.

Taupes, wheats and brightened greens will start going to the office. Styles will include tasseled (dressy) loafers. wingtips, eyelet ties and plain-toed, ankle-high boots. Understated trims and small metal touches will be the preferred details. Tassels.

especially on dressy slip-ons. and soft graining mark this return to refinement. Patent leathers will begin to make inroads in the men's areas, and the council predicts burgundy. wine and gray will become the new "must have" colors. Updated classic looks are what will count for leisure wear.

Toes will be softern blunter. The shape of this type shoe will be wider than dressy styles. Crepe soles and "handstitching" will share the spotlight along with Westerntype boots with pitched heels, lumberjack boots. highly styled sneakers look taken off the sports fields and unlined moccasins, Trend-setters will own more than one pair of boots. An absolute minimum would be a short pair to wear for dress.

The kids are into "signature" footwear, says the council, but the interest here is on the sole! The mainstays will be oblique toes. flat "earth shoe" type bottoms, heavy sculptured bottoms. crepe soles and wedge heels. Upper detailing will also show up strongly. That means lots of leather lacings, contrast and selfstitching, back tabs and padded collars more influence from the athletic field.

Children's styling will continue to be mostly with tie shoes. Western and hiking boots. fleece-lined boots. and moccasins finding favor with both boys and birls. Post-Star, Glens Falls, N.Y.

quiet boy. I don't know what they teach kids in big city schools these days but my Vernon is a changed person. A few weeks ago he started to give our terrier saucers of beer. I told him it was not good for Blaze (that's the dog's name). Vernon said it wouldn't do him any harm.

After a week of beer Blaze ignored his water pan. He'd sniff it, walk away and go sit by the stove and cry. I could see something was happeneing to Blaze. but I didn't know what. Well.

yesterday he got the hiccups. He hiccuped from about 4:00 p.m. till David Brinkley came on with the news. By then he was awfully weak. (Blaze, not Brinkley.) I called the vet.

He asked me to bring Blaze over right away. I told him about the beer and he said dogs can get drunk just like people and that Vernon should cut it out. The dog stoped hiccuping when the vet gave him a spoonful of syrup. Now it's eight days later. I caught Vernon trying to sneak a saucer of beer to Blaze, when he thought I wasn't looking.

What can do about this? Upset And Concerned Dear U. and This kid is in COLLEGE? He sounds like a case of arrested development. Tell him he is being cruel and if you catch him trying to slip beer to Blaze one more time you will find another home for the mutt. Then do it.
