THE RECORD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 196(5 Entertainment. P-7 Singer Seeks Success Show To Spoof Business the ap- peared on radio and television, and made one recording with his father's band. "1 broke into resort work as a bellboy and golf caddy and once I thought I wanted to be a pilot but the desire to be an entertainer was always in my blood," he said. Brent's most recent appearance in this area was at the Tappan Zee Motor Inn in Nyack, N. Y.

He has sung at New York's Waldorf Astoria and the Living Room as well as clubs in New Jersey, on Long Island, and resorts in the Catskills. For bread-and-butter reasons he holds down a regular job as a clerk for a major airline in Manhattan to help support his wife and young daughter. "The opportunities for an entertainer in Bermuda are too limited," he explained. "That's why I decided to come to the United States in the hope I could become successful as a concert and recording artist." Brent worked most of resorts and night clubs, from nightclub audiences by aid libbing. But he is still unsure of himself an actor.

An acting teacher recently was imported from New York to help him through his histrionics. "Mostly he tells me to relax," said Sheldon. "And sometimes he tells me to concentrate on things so my face will look right for the camera things like pretending I'm smelling lilacs. Then he goes off some place else, like to look at the girls, and I sit there squinting like an idiot trying to smell lilacs. The worst of it is.

sometimes I really do smell them."

"Boy, I can't ride a horse, but, man, I climhed on a thoroughbred that doesn't have a saddle, just a postage stamp," he announced breathlessly upon returning to his dressing room. In recent weeks he has been a gas station grease monkey, a chore boy on an expensive health farm, a performing w-aiter (trumpet) in a night club. In the course of one adventure he fractured an elbow and wrist when a stunt misfired. "That hung up production for a week." he said.

"It would have been longer but we hunted around until we found a doc who would put me in splints instead of casts and luckilv I knit fast."

"Run, Buddy, Run" soon will be aimed in the same comic direction, except that the spoof is based on T. man- on-the-mn shows, like "The In the forthcoming Monday night series, Buddy is a timid fellow who overhears, in the steam room of a turkish bath, some crime overlords plotting the demise of the competition. Buddy is discovered and for the next 25 shows, at least, will be on the lam.

But the way the story is developing, the series may also be taking some satiric swipes at a more sensitive subject: big business. And with a lot of big businesses sponsoring television shows this could be as dangerous as making snide jokes about motherhood and the Flag. The show has the crime Shook, B3.

AUSTFRS VWTFT) BRENT TALBOT A soft-spoken young man with a manner almost too shy for a theatrical personality, Brent wants success but lie wants to meet it on his own terms. "I don't want to sell Eimmicks." he said. "I want to be myself and be accepted hecause of whatever talent I have." President and Mrs. Grover Cleveland, started the Barnstormers in 1931, in this 200-year-old wood land village.

He has kept the company, he explains, as an old-fashioned type of summer stock, a resident summer theater as opposed to the big star package shows. YOIACER MAN Shirtsleeves rolled, elbow high, Cleveland stood in the rear aWe of his theater, a converted harn. and peered across the top of his glasses at the young actors and actresses on stage. Later in his nearby office he said. "Business is good.

Rut it takes somebody younger to keep up wi(h ail of it I can't keep at it with only 5 hours of sleep a night." Cleveland said. "I'm not sure how I got interested in the theater, but I like to that it happened because mv father was a friend of the old actor Joseph Jefferson, who often played Rip Van Winkle. They used to go fishing together, near the family's I summer home in Tamworth, he said. Cleveland's Barnstnnrcrs I operation is nonprofit venture, he said, and SR.ooo was raised by public subscription this year. "The townspeople consider it a fixture, they support it.

it brings some tourist business to our communitv." he said.
