The show is a positive delight, which won critical praise from every reviewer in the metropolitan area when it opened last week. Although he's not even seen on screen, Stang considers "Pin occhio In Outer Space" one of his favorites. "It is a superior picture," Arnold said during an interview.

"And it has adult appeal. Adults won't be bored." Now, Arnold hopes the kids will spread the word, and the adults will flock to the theaters, too. "It takes word of mouth to make it inviting to adults," Arnold noted. Interviews come easy to Arnold. Unlike many other ar (Staff Writer) Arnold Stang is an owlish looking man with an intellectual mind, a strong personality, and a load of talent.

Although most things he has done through the years on radio, television and in the movies have been comic roles, he resents it if you 1 suggest he's a comedian. "I'm an actor," Arnold says staunchly. "I'm not a standup comedian, and I don't do nightclubs." Ironically. Arnold's latest success doesn't even put him before the public. It's his voice that counts this time.

He wound up marrying her, and today the Stangs have two teenage children. "She hasn't written about me since," Arnold said, "except when she's writing and quoting A Hollywood source disclosed' I or 'a top show business personality said Actually, there is no strangeness to finding Arnold's voice starred. It is a throw-back to his radio days, where he enjoyed his happier moments. He was "Gerard" on Henry-Morgan's show'. "That show was great for radio.

It brought ra-; dio a degree of intellect." "I hated television," said the man who has appeared in hundreds of T. V. shows. "There was a time when I liked it. But we're past that peak.

Today, television is not a challenge or stimulating. I played Francis the stagehand on Milton Berle's show for years and I would quit every 3 weeks. They brought in romance Max, the telephone girl and figured that would make me happy. I would still want to quit and Berle would talk me out of it." IT'S A JOB Today.

It was first produced in the author's native Germany, but this production was a success in London and the talk of English theatrical circles last season. So far the most ou'sndlng thing about this highly unusual and striking show rs the brilliant staging by the noted British director.

Teter Brook. The script is unquestionably an extraordinary work but it's the incredibly eloquent and inventive direction that creates the marvelously detailed and morbidly convincing perform-mance. As a program note explains, the author has taken the his-toriea) fact that the notorious Marquis de Sade was confined for the last 11 years of his life in the asylum at Charenton. in France, and thert directed his own plays as a sort of grisly therapeutic treatment for the inmates. It became fashionable for Parisians to visit the institution and attend the performance.

PLAY IN PLAY Weiss has imagined that one of these shows was about the murder of the French Revolutionary leader. Jean-Paul Marat, by Charlotte Corday. So I "Marat-Sade" becomes a play-within-a-play as the audience at the Martin Beck watches the members of the British troupe portray the asylum patients acting out the lurid drama. Insane asylums were frightful places in the early 19th century when the action takes place, and these fictitious actors are as revolting and piteous a collection of subhumans as anyone is likely to see in a lifetime of TOMORROW Ak rSaW 1i amrnv at jfl Eb 2ND WIfIC UNCUT V'RSION FOR ADULTS ONLY POSITIVE ADULTS IDENTIFICATION REQUIRED I I I NO ONE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE WILL BE ADMITTED 10 WOMEN 7 MEN TRAPPED ON AN ISLAND WITH NOWHERE TO HIDE NOWHERE TO RUN! .2 GREAT Im DORIS DAY ro I ens rmm NYACK, Y. 1 ROCKLAND pW ELmwood 8-2600 7ke CAVERN tact Conn creating characters throughout, is superb.

Every single player is effective. Especially notable, however, is Patrick Magee as Sade.

Also outstanding are Glenda Jackson as Charlotte Corday and Ian Richardson as Marat. Even regardless of its attention-getting title, "Marat-Sade" is a conversation item and a must-see for the theater buffs.
