Salt Lake Tribune Local News Obits, Features Page B-21 Sunday Morning, February 19, 1984 Section Page 1 Dan Valentine's Nothing column by Dan Valentine was published in The Tribune on Sunday May 24, 1970. THE CINEMA: I went to one of these movies the other to Dan Valentine: broke down and new-fangled, evening The critics raved about the show, and I was looking forward a solid two hours of entertainment. All I saw were nude bodies of both sexes slithering around the floor and chunky little fellows with black beards smoking pot No plot, no clever, fast-paced dialogue with funny lines. No laughs. Now and then one of the main characters would grunt.

I left the theater with a great longing in my heart for the old movies of yesteryear. Back in those days, the movie boys knew how to handle sex. And don't tag me a prude. I'm not against sex in movies. I'm not against sex in books.

I'm not against sex anywhere In the old movies, it was done with class. In the big love scene in an old movie, instead of slithering nude bodies writhing on the floor, the heroine, Lana Turner, would look at the hero, Clark Gable, and their eyes would meet, and they would clasp each other in their hungry arms. Then, the camera would move to a stable, and a shot of a stallion stomping in the moonlight Everybody knew what was happening They didn't have to see it. For some reason or other, a stallion stomping in the moonlight was the symbol of passion. AND BELIEVE ME, it was a lot more effective and a lot more sexy than a nude guy in a black beard grunting and wiggling on the back seat of a motorcycle.

Sometimes, instead of stomping stallions, the old-time movie directors would imply sex in another manner. The heroine, Joan Crawford, would be in love with the hero, Walter Pidgeon, and in the last scene you would see them runing towards each other on a high cliff, and just as they met in each other's arms, the camera would pan to huge ocean waves breaking against the rocks on the seashore. This, believe it or not, was real sexy and everybody kept their clothes on. Old-time movie directors had originality, style, class and good taste. They could imply sex.

They didn't have to show it. In some movies, after the hero chased the heroine for several reels, that last scene would show the bedroom light go out on the outside of a mansion. I hasten to add that in the old days, the camera never showed the light going out until after a proper marriage ceremony had taken place. In today's modern movies, they not only leave the lights on in the bedroom, but they invite the camera crew to come along on the honeymoon. OLD-TIME MOVIES were subtle.

They told the story but in a delicate, quite civilized, way Like babies. In today's movies, a baby is born right on the screen. Not in the old days. In the old movies, the audience knew a baby was going to be born when the country doctor usually Thomas Mitchell or Lionel Barrytold the young husband more usually Robert Young or James Stewart, and sometimes Mickey Rooney to start boiling hot water. Nobody ever explained what the doc did with all the hot water.

But everybody in the audience knew a baby was being born. SAM, THE SAD CYNIC, SAYS: Any day now I expect Hollywood to remake "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" with Raquel Welch in the title role! Dairymen Mull Use For Money Administrator Predicts Generic Ad Campaign Tribune Staff Photo by Lynn R. Johnson Nelson Styles greets customers at the Hotel Utah's Roof Atlanta, came to Utah in 1945 and worked his way to Restaurant in an unmistakable manner. The native from the roof. He was hired as a silver polisher in the basement.

From Bottom Editor's Note: Black people in Utah total approximately 1 percent of the state's population. In commemoration of Black History Month, Tribune Staff Writer Cathy Free profiles some of these longtime Utah citizens who often go unnoticed in the predominantly white communities. This is the first article in a four -part series. By Cathy Free Tribune Staff Writer In the 1940s, guests at the Hotel Utah usually saw young Nelson Styles, scurrying from the basement to the roof with ice cream, French rolls, salads, and other restaurant goodies. They didn't see him hiding in the back room, eating prime rib with horseradish sauce.

The chef saw to that. The head chef at the hotel's "Starlight Garden" (now The Roof) restaurant took a liking to Mr. Styles, and would sneak him a slab of prime rib if he came to work early. The young food runner managed to arrive early most of the time. Now, nearly 40 years later, Mr.

Styles arrives to work late at 5:30 p.m. He has worked his way from the basement to the roof, and no longer has to sneak around in the kitchen. Ice Cream and Salad And, somebody else is dishing out the ice cream and salad these days. Mr. Styles just says "Hello." If you've ever eaten dinner at The Roof Restaurant, Mr.

Styles has probably helped you put your coat on and take it off, and welcomed you in that unmistakable manner of his. He's the restaurant's official greeter. "Greetings, greetings!" he booms with his rich, baritone voice. "Welcome to The Roof! How are you doing? I hope everything is downhill and shady!" If you give a clever reply, Mr. Styles will let you hear that famous laugh of his.

He doesn't start out with a slow chuckle. He roars. And everybody else can't help but laughing along with him. Warm Demeanor He'll put your coat in the cloak room and then, depending on whether you're male or female, he'll either shake your hand, or escort you arm in arm to the dining room with a stately, but warm demeanor. And, if it's your birthday, he'll sneak up on you after you've had dinner and belt out "Happy Birthday." He's been singing the song to at least one person a day for years.

That's the style of Styles. He has worked at the hotel Man, Woman Charged Thanks to Sun, Crews Open In Cedar City Deaths Closed Roads Special to The Tribune CEDAR CITY A 37-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman were arrested Saturday in Las Vegas and charged with murder in connection with the triple homicide and robbery earlier this week at a Cedar City tavern. Police have identified a third suspect, but he remains at large. Cedar City Police Sgt. Terry Petersen said Douglas Edward Kay, 37, and Renada Pasqua, 27, both Las Vegas, were arrested just before 5 p.m.

and booked into Clark County Jail on capital homicide (a first-degree felony) and aggravated robbery charges. They are being held without bail. A third suspect, Norman Lee Newstead, 26, no address available, was still at large, but police believed he was still in the Las Vegas area, Sgt. Petersen added. Formal complaints alleging the suspects murdered and robbed a barmaid and two customers at The Playhouse tavern shortly after midnight Tuesday have been filed in Cedar City's 9th Circuit Court.

Police also are preparing extradition papers to bring the suspects back to the state, said Cedar City Police Chief Dennis Anderson. The victims were identified as Patricia Frei, 23, a barmaid for several months at the tavern on the northern outskirts of the southern Utah city; Robert Bull, 33, a mechanic with the Iron County Roads Department; and Ronald Schmid, 24, an Idaho Falls man employed as a carpenter and laborer by a private contractor working on condominiums at nearby Brian Head Ski Resort. The suspects were apprehended by Cedar City Detective Sergeant Roy Houchen and Officer Lynn Davis, working in conjunction with the Las Vegas Metro Homicide Division, Sgt. Petersen said. He did not divulge details of the investigation leading to the arrest, nor did he reveal whether the suspects eluded roadblocks thrown up around the Cedar City area.

Sunny skies and warmer temperatures aided crews Saturday in opening several roads that were closed as blizzard-like conditions swept through the state recently. In the southern portion of the state Utah Highways 74 and 92, closed because of blizzard conditions, were opened just after dawn Saturday. In Tooele County, Johnson's Pass through Dugway was opened after being clogged with 3- foot snow drifts. In northern Utah Interstate 84, from Snowville to the Idaho border, was reopened Saturday monring. Winds clocked at up to 50 mph forced officials to close the highway late Friday.

Most areas in the state Saturday were not receiving new snow and were under sunny skies, according to the National Weather Service. A warming trend is expected Sunday and Monday with temperatures reaching the mid-40s. But another major storm will work its way across the state late Tuesday, said Denis Siu, meteorologist. Mall Goes To Dogs (And Cats) By Patti Auer Tribune Staff Writer Animals, ranging from dogs to a miniature horse, visited the ZCMI Center, 15 S. Main, as pet owners and animal lovers celebrated "I Love My Pet Day" Saturday.

The Salt Lake County Animal Services, the ZCMI Center and KLRZ, Color 95 Radio sponsored various contests for pets. In the famous-look-alike contest entrants were judged on the basis of their resemblance to famous people and in the most unusual type of pet competition animals were judged on the basis of originality in breed or species. Animal Welfare groups, such as the American Veterinary Medical Association, the 4-H and the Humane Society in the Salt Lake Valley had displays and demonstrations, providing information on pet care. The Salt Lake Dog Training Club offered obedience classes. "The contests were put on so people could have a good time with their pets and learn how to care for them," commented Tribune Staff Photo by Van Porter Kathleen Prevost.

"It never occured to me to visit here," he said. "I can't imagine what it would be Never Forgets a Face The Roof employee knows practically everybody who goes through the restaurant's doors.

He never forgets a face, and rarely forgets a name. And, rarely does anybody forget Mr. Styles. He's a friend of the rich and famous, the not-so-rich and notthe young, the old, and everybody in between. It famous, doesn't matter whether your shirts have blue collars or white collars.

Mr. Styles treats everybody the same. Originally from Atlanta, See Page B-4, Column By Eric McMullin Tribune Agriculture Writer OGDEN The dairy industry has a couple of months to decide what to do with its $100 million in advertising money. After attending last week's public hearing in Washington, D.C., Utah Dairy Commission administrator Clint Warby said he is no closer to learning what the procedure will be. He said Friday during the 1984 Utah Dairy Convention that he expects the money will be used in a generic campaign that stresses the nutritional and wholesome attributes of milk and cheese.

His biggest concern, he said, is in assuring the national campaign, which begins May 1, will not supersede the Utah campaign. At $800,000, the Utah Dairy Commission account is one of the state's largest and is handled by Evans Advertising. The campaign attempts to link milk with excellence and features locally prominent personalities, such as former Brigham Young University basketball player Danny Ainge. The mandatory 15-cent assessment is one of the features of the compromise dairy bill passed last session by Congress. With only a small participation in the diversion plan that pays dairymen not to produce milk, attention is shifting to advertising to ease the nation's dairy surplus.

While the advertising will increase consumption of dairy products, Mr. Warby said it alone will not end the surplus. "If we see a 1 or 2 percent increase in consumption, the program will be a success," he said. By contrast, approximately 10 percent of current production is considered surplus. That means that the third major feature of the compromise legislation a drop in the support price is virtually certain to take effect, lie said.

"Come April 1, there'll be a drop of 50 cents," Mr. Warby See Page B-4, Column Clarence Bamberger, Utah Financier, Dies Clarence Bamberger, Utah financier and for many years an active leader in national and local public welfare and philanthropic activities, died Saturday.
