Patricia O'Haire THE NEWLY FORMED American Theatre in Harlem will open its first season with Ossie Davis' "Purlie Victorious" Aug. 17-18 at the Abyssinian Baptist Church, 132 W. 138th St The show will then perform the rest of its run, through Sept 8, at the Oberia Dempsey Center on W. 128th St The cast will include Clarence Berry, Veronica Welch, Erika McKoy and Billy Ray Tyson. The theater was founded last year by executive director Joseph L.

Time: 98 mm. Rated R. Gene Wilder Richard Pryor moments individually (Pryor brazening JJ(5)ira. TnXI! irpHE TWO STARS FOR 'ANOTH-1 1 er You" are for the two stars of "Another You" Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, a proven comedy team hard-pressed here with a script locked on zero. The premise pairs pathological liar Wilder with professional con-man Pryor (ducking jail with community service namely, conveniently, shepherding Wilder back into soci- ety).

Unfortunately, REVI EW Ziggy Steinberg's script conspires to keep Wilder dishonest even to the implausible extreme of making him the innocent centerpiece of a larger scam. Wilder and Pryor pull the plot along like Volga boatmen, achieving their best out a jazz-sax solo, Wilder yodehng). Mercedes Ruehl and Vanessa Williams are, by turns, funny and fun. Most of the movie's energy is Wilder's; Pryor looks unwell and moves in lunges. Switching directors in mid-film from Peter Bogdanovich to Maurice Phillips hasn't made this fourth team outing any less bumpy a ride.

From this point, it looks as if there wont be "Another You" or, better yet, there shouldn't be. 2k 'Lucia' saves conductor from mad scene scales of a crystalline purity. It was a By BERT WECHSLER grand old-fashioned Mad Scene: flow ing hair, falling flowers, two faints and a precise duet with the flute. Alas, Enrico di Giuseppe, as Edgardo, appeared with hoarseness and a bleat His usual free, easy high notes were not with him; still, it was good to watch a stage-smart actor. Having missed his entrance in his first aria, and having had a hell of a time then finding his EXCEPT FOR A RADIANT PER-formance from his soprano, conductor Vincent La Selva did not have an easy Wednesday evening.

His New York Grand Opera presented Donizetti's "Lucia di Lammermoor" on Central Park's Summerstage, an edi- fice festooned with essH commercials. There REVIEW was trouble with the light generator, his scene shifters were lethargic, his baritone couldn't count, and his tenor was having an off night But there was the soprano. Christina Andreou sang Lucia She was a bit obsessed with correctness in her first act double aria, but after that she sang like a dream. She is a true coloratura with high notes to burn, and -i-' place, raw-voiced Enzo Bordim learned his lesson and sang all of Enrico's music staring at La Selva who handed him every note. When they could concentrate on Donizetti, in Andreou and di Giuseppe's scenes, La Selva and the orchestra did wonders.

And the chorus sang valiantly. Wednesday at 7:30, it's "Carmen." The disasters should be minimized, so I'd go out to Summerstage if I were you. fwiSTCIIESTLTl luEEIC I fBttiri pfMAIIHATTJUlT- CINEPLEI OOEON UNITEO ARTISTS INTERBORO QUAD 792-2100 ZIEGFEIO 6TH AVE A 54TM STREET 765-7600 U2JO.S.7JO.IO mOEWS NEW YORK TWIN 2N0 AVENUE 1 66TH STREET 744-7339 US. 10J0 HOEWSMTHSTREITSII BROADWAY A 84TH STREET 877 3600 li20. 2:30.
