"You Could Be Cuming to Me" also good It Show" is a takeoff on the Ink Spots The Statiers especially Dun Reid have a good way of twisting words in their songs like the phrase "If you don't like what you're becoming you could be coming to me" But this is nothing new they've done it in some of their biggest sngs in the past And Dewitt ties in movie titles (or a peppy song "The Movies" Some of the other name entertainers are starting to record some of the Statler songs which isn't unusual because Reid and Dewitt may be among the best writers for country and western songs At least their Mercury record salts are up among the best The Statiers' philosophy about their new record is good: America was great enough to honor when it was 200 years old it's greater when it is 201 years And i( this record is a tribute to America it's a fine one because I think this is the finest record they've cut besides Best o( the Statiers" which sold over 500000 copies last year Already two ot the songs are getting strong play on the radio Cod I've Got You" and Movies" but others will get played a lot One of the unique things about these (our singers who incidentally are not brothers (Harold and Don Reid are i is that most their big hits were written by one o( them And seldon do they record songs made popular by other singers although they do on this album Eyes Crying in the Rain" Couple More Years" I Can and Comb Her Hair Every The first time the Statler Brothers became prominent was in 1163 when they were regulars on the Johnny Cash television show But either won or were nominated (or the best country vocal group No wonder they're that good and their Mercury record sales prove it But when their latest record came out the other day all red white and blue 1 thought maybe the (our guys (tom Virginia didn't know the Bicentennial year was over or maybe 1977 was their "bi" year It just turns out that the Statiers happen to love America and they wanted to think about it in 1177 too when not as much emphasis will be placed on patriotism Since 1970 the Sutlers have proved their devotion to their home area by having a July 4 show to help raise money (or the charities there The concert

Newsfeatures Writer Ask male moviegoers for their opinion of actress Katharine Ross and answers will include "beautiful" "dynamite" "reminds me of Grace Kelly" or some such flattering remark that may reflect the age of the admirer A 23-year-old boy said "She's -the nice old-fashioned girl as if he knew In person she is that the nice old-fashioned pretty glrl-next-door-type She doesn't have complaints about producers directors male or female stars today's movies or her roles as many actresses do She has liked actors and leading men But then been lucky They've included James Stewart Dustin Hoffman Robert Bedford Paul Newman Jim Garner and John Wayne And she accommodates autograph seeker They were in hot pursuit at the New York hotel where she and her husband were staying "They call me at all hours wanting to know when I am going out And there is no point in she explained as she put down the phone once more "But it be-comes a little unnerving Some seem to be professional autograph seekers Day after day I see the same faces In the crowd and some have cameras" She gets letters from teenagers and college kids "always nice and complimentary and sometimes very Looking taller than her height of 6 feet 4 inches and younger than her 33 years Katharine has hazel eyes and wears her long straight reddish-blonde hair in that swinging look It is washed every day She has been promoting the film Voyage the Damned in which she had a "small meaty role" three days' work in England These days if your part run through a movie they "schedule your entire part so that logistically you do it all at once They She his had some real screen plums from the beginning including The Graduate which won her an Academy Award nomination and gave her early recognition And there has been a succession of good breaks including The Hellfighters with Wayne who is her favorite actor "He is a real presence He knows who he is and is great to be around He is helpful funny fascinating Bedford is not easy to know well but he is charming and likeable" she continued "Newman becomes involved in the project he is working on and I was surprised he had a funny side to him Jim Garner is an all-around nice guy Doesn't change at all and has a very dry sense of humor" She considers herself very happy person" She met her husband of one year New York-born Tom Licci when he was doing technical work on the set of one of her pictures They are living in a large two-part trailer on their property at Malibu where they plan to build a small house "I'd like it to have a lot of glass There are streams running through and lots of trees kind rf a Connecticut feeling but the setting is so beautiful the house should be incidental" Born in Los Angeles Katharine majored in English at La Rosa College and waited until she was 32 to get married but doesn't necessarily recommend late marriage "It depends what you want out of life I was never a person to date a lot I'm not very social and I like to get to know someone Then too you may not know what you want of a person You finally just meet the right one and that is it" The right one had to be understanding because "Being an actress makes it sort of difficult for a man when you are working and people are fussing over you just because you are in the movies" The Key City Chapter of Sweet Adelines Inc is beginning rehearsals for their contest and show music They are encouraging all interested women in the area to visit Guests may attend for three weeks to learn the music then audition on their third visit The Region 10
