Cos Angeles (Titrivs 6 Part 1 Iiu-via. IV-cimtnr 15, 1981 GARY FRIEDMAN AngelM Times evocation uf death suggests a vision of the Requiem its structural cliches as observed through the wrung end of a telescope. Brevity of thought need not imply a lack of profundity, however, and the performance was brilliant. Special distinction was lent by the plangent baritone of Douglas Lawrence in the "Tuba Mirum" and the flexible mezzo-soprano of Gail Dubinbaum in the "Larry -mosa." These singers were joined by Daisietta Kim and Michael Sells in the almost anticlimactic "Libera Me." To close the program, and the festival, Tilson Thomas and the Philharmonic bade farewell to dodecaphony and gave us a spanking-clean, jaunty, affectionate, tellingly detailed performance of what sounded, in context, like a golden oldie: Stravinsky's Symphony in Three 'MADE IN Continued from First Page with sudden choral participation. A bleaker aspect of the Schoenberg aesthetic came to the fore in the heart-wrenching "Survivor From Warsaw," which enlists a Sprechgesang soloist who recounts the tortures of a Nazi death-camp as a prelude to the nearly optimistic eruption of a Hebrew prayer, as intoned by male chorus.

Cantor William Sharlin paid more attention to the implied pitches and rhythms of the vocal line than many narrators do in this fragile opus, and intensified poignance as a result. Finally, the French virtuoso Jean -Bernard Pommier joined Tilson Thomas Co. for the tight, finger-breaking bravura bravura that is designed to call attention to anything but itself of the Piano Concerto, Opus 42, a i classical showpiece filtered through progressive 20th-! Century sensibilities. Pommier and Tilson Thomas made sparks fly, even though Schoenberg refused to let those sparks become bona fide flames. The 12-tone system, in modified, highly individualis- tic application, continued to prevail after intermission when Tilson Thomas and the ever-adroit Master Cho- rale turned to Stravinsky's "Requiem Canticles" of 'VjfllA fjl TONIGHT AT 8:00 ENGAGEMENT EXTENDED THRU JAN 3rd TICK!

While still modeling, she made two low-budget horror films both, in her words, One was called "Night School." the other, "Three Blind Mice." But if nothing else, they gave her camera experience, which, presumably, made her feel less nervous when she went up for "Sharky's Machine." "Not really." she said. "The reason I wasn't nervous was that it never occurred to me I had a chance of getting the role. So I was totally relaxed during my first reading with Burt. Not until I did my screen test did it occur to me: Maybe I've got a chance. I knew he wanted a new face.

"And if I wasn't nervous making the movie, it's because Burt made it so easy for me. Right from the start he said. "I want you to do something that's important to me. Trust me. I promise you it will be all right.

I know what I can do for you." "He was incredibly helpful to me. And before the film finished he said I was to call him anytime I wanted advice. So when I was offered 'Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid," I called and asked, 'What do you He said, 'It sounds great to So I took it." Everything now being written about Ward suggests she was one of New York's most sought-after models. Certainly she worked a lot, racking up impressive credits as a photographic model. She was the Cougar girl in the Lincoln Mercury TV advertisement.

She plugged Brut with Joe Namath. "But I wasn't really a very good model," she acknowledged. "Nor was I that successful. But for some reason I got the reputation for being successful without actually being successful, if you see what I mean perhaps because I didn't look like the standard ail-American girl. "I wasn't sorry to give up modeling.

I'd always wanted to act since I was quite young but never had the guts to do it. Then when I moved to New York from London five years ago I determined to try. And I did." Not surprisingly, she loves America. "This really is the land of opportunity," she said. "Nothing like this could have happened to me if I'd stayed in Britain." I had one last question.

Had she ever admitted to Reynolds that, until she got the part in "Sharky's Machine," she had never even seen one of his films? Her smile widened. "What do you think?" she said. "DYNAMITE!" 1966.
