Chad and Jeremy Score in a Movie If! By JARED JOHNSON Record Reviewer Last September, this reviewer expressed the hope that Chad and Jeremy would do the soundtrack for some motion picture that would catapult them to the top in a manner similar to how "The Graduate" did for Simon and Garfunkel. I- I iff! I i llpll Chad and Jeremy have now come across very successfully with the music performed for TA American inier- national's! I xnree the Attic" starring Yvette Mimieux and Christopher Jones. Unfor-t a 1 "Three in the isn't likely to get the rave notices i. tirrfU- compositions are brand-new. Cuts include the lovely "Good Morning Sunrise," "Tobey's Song," "Paxton's Song (Smoke)," and "Know Yourself." The entire second side of the disc is background music composed by Chad Stuart, much better than the run-of-the-anill in-strumentals interspersed with Simon and Garfunkel's numbers on "The Graduate" album.

Careful listeners may hear themes from previous Chad and Jeremy songs subtly weaved into this rock background music. The only regret is that they didn't include Chris Jones' version of "Smoke" that he sang in the movie. Although Chad and Jeremy do a fine job with it, Christopher Jones lends the appropriate touch to a Dylanesque number like this; at least it was Dylanesque before Chad and Jeremy finished with it. Both the movie and album are recommended.

In particular, "The Graduate" was composed solely of old songs' available on other albums, with the exception of the 60-second version of "Mrs. Robinson." Except for "Paxton Quigley's Had the Course" which appeared on Chad and Jeremy's "The Ark," all the Herb Melleney, center, of the Festival of States bamd competition, congratulates Elbert County High School band members (L-R) Brenda Dixon, David Edwards, Cindy Mercer and Benny Graves for their high ratings in competition with other bands at the Festival of States held in St. Petersburg, Fla. last month.

NEW CENTER-WEIGHTED TIIRU-THE-LENS METER SYSTEM EXPOSURE DATA IN FINDER NEWLY IMPROVED FINDER SCREEN UNIQUE METER SWITCH AUTO-RESET Susan Teague of "The Going Thing" is a young entertainer who hasn't gotten tarnished trying to make it in show business. The 19-year-old singer and dancer in the group that does the commercials for Ford automobiles thinks show business is "a lot of fun," not the grueling life many people consider the entertainment world to be. She tells about the time she was traveling around the country with a folk-singing group, "The Back Porch Majority," and stopped off to stay overnight right outside Augusta, where the parents of one group member owned a dairy farm.

FALLEN WOMAN "The guy's mother "just could not believe that I was traveling around the country in a bus. She thought any girl who wanted to be in show business was a fallen woman and wanted me to stay with her and go to school. She said I needed a mother, I told her I already had one." Before loining the "Going Thing," which did two numbers on the Tennessee Ernie Ford television special Thursday night, she played in nightclubs around the country, besides having television roles in "General Hospital," "Day In Court," and "Many Happy Returns. At 13, Susan played the role of Dainty June, Gypsy Rose Lee's sister, in the movie "Gypsy." CONNECTIONS "My dancing teicher had connections," she says in explaining the roles she's gotten.
