actually used four-letter words He's a little too earnest in trying to be Mr Hip but that red-and-white carnival barker's suit is a squaresville giveaway The highly technical entertainment requires Clark to move awkwardly from the stage through the aisles and to a movie projector at too-frequent intervals (inevitably catching his microphone cord along the way) A movie screen is set up on the right side of the room forcing the audience to shift around in their seats six times This wouldn't be so troublesome but a malfunctioning sound system screeching volume and a backup group that rehearses in spite of the "movies" are all a little hard to take THE CLUMSY integration of live and filmed material missed cues and technical boo-boos are all forgotten when Ben King and Chubby Checker take the stage in act two The inimitable rich -voiced King whose singing never went out of style handles "Stand by Me" with winning quietness The former lead of the Drifters also reprises "There is a Rose in Spanish Harlem" with equal effectiveness More to the point of that madcap sockhop era is Checker's non-stop performance Thinner resembling Harry Belafonte the retai-lored singer using a hard rock backup breathlessly does "Hound Dog" "Limbo Rock" and "Let's Twist Again" plus several others never missing a twist-ing beat It's a frenzied finish to a mostly fun evening WHAT IT COSTS The Oeauvilie Star Theater tias a nonfood no-beverage policy Shows are presented in concert format with tickets for -Dick Clark priced at 1750 $850 and ff50 I KROSS KE CONDOMINIUM is When nostalgia is relived and youth recalled crowds seem ready to cheer the past in whatever form it's presented Three hours of high-decibel music frenetic dancing and those popular cultural heroes of the 50s and 60s adds up to a fairly amusing if not totally "consistent evening out Especially when the kingpin of rock Dick Clark himselfj is in charge "America's oldest living teenager my he laughs Too bad it has to begin with the Dovells who offer soggy reprises of "Hully Gully Baby" and "Bristol Stomp" along with some dopey comedy patter Their shallow treatment of Paul Anka's "Havin' My Baby" reveals as little facility with present trends BUT SOMETHING close to high gear is attained when Dion (without the Belmonts) belts out better-than-original versions of "Runaround Sue" "Ruby Baby" and "Teenager in Love" The lovely tune "Abraham Martin and John" is unfortunately over-orchestrated like most everything else in the show There seemed no convenient slot to highlight the softer folk directions Dion's been moving in recently much to everyone's loss A dynamite multi-racial dance group called the Greasy Kids led by Damita Jo' is almost the best thing about the package Six high-wired highly skilled young people do a parody of 50s swing dancing then come back with a terrifically exciting reprise of more I SB INSPIRED DESiCN THERE REALLY ISN'T ANY OTHER ADDRESS ON MIAMI BEACH WORTH RENTING OCEANSIDE PLAZA 5555 Collins AvenUeFor Those who cart afford the ultimate in orvrhe-ocecn iivingOceansidePlczc Interior and public cjreoi completely redesigned end opulently embellished by world famous Henry End I Bdr 1-12 Doth S365 1 Bath $450 hi AN INSPIRATIONAL PRICE '25000- 1 bedroom 1 Vi bath 2 bedroom 2 bath i or unfurnished for the season one or two yeors Rental Office-open from -10 to 5 daily phone c6 i -4994 Eight floor plans for you to choose from at Kross Keys where carefree condominium living is reflected in classic luxury modern value and a lifetime of livability features: NORTH MIAMI BEACH waterfront location (with a view of what you really imagine Florida to be with direct deep water access through the intracoastal waterway to the ocean) Beaches golfing horse racing dog racing Jai alai dining shopping and some of Miami's finest entertainment are mere steps away Penthouse recreation room sundeck and greenery towering 1 1 stories high create a panoramic view of South Florida's coast Fishing boating heated pool and sauna are backdoor assets Up to 90 financing available Call 949-6861 Furnished model open 7 days a week from 1 0 AM KROSS KEYS CONDOMINIUM 2903 Sunny Isles Boulevard (NE 163rd Street) Eastern Shores North Miami Beach Florida Model Furnished By Decorators and Designers of Hallandale Here la Wilier Drama To Buy Sell or Rent Check All Day Classified Soda is Exultant is Career Blooms PAUL WILLIAMS JOEY BISHOP PAUL WILLIAMS JOEY BISHOP PAUL WILLIAMS 3- 0 4m wv--g IS PROUD TO PRESENT mm I IN 11 La Ronde Superstar Theatre December 25 thru 31 EY BUM CONDUCTOR TOM RANIER GENE ARCADE Jm la PAULW r- II III Continued from Page 1C you be good people and not responsible people too?" It is a question that appears to concern her deeply While she never carries this or any role with her into private life immersion in a new persona can be consuming "It's not a matter of hav-' ing a character always with you I'll read something and it will relate to the play Or I find myself saying phrases from the play "If it's very depressing or very gay it colors the atmosphere of your life I don't know if I could totally forget the script once I came home as Paul Sco-field does I find it's on my mind a lot That doesn't mean I don't go to the theater or to movies when I'm working" LIKE an ingenue she exults in the widening circles of her profession "I become pretty damned engrossed and I'm able to enjoy it tod Part "of the fascination (of acting)-' is how engrossing it becomes When you begin a play you make a few points As you progress you eventually make thousands of points Every time you do the play more js revealed to you" Television viewers may recall the brown-eyed alabaster -skinned actress' wifely lead in "Sandburg's Lincoln" a six-part series continuing until 1976 She enjoys doing stock work in San Francisco (where she did "Cherry with the American Conservatory Theater and in Connecticut Becomes Through years of near-perpetual employment she only wanted to quit once "Oh maybe for half an hour Everybody in this business has sinking spells when you think you'll never work again" MOST RECENTLY she starred on Broadway with EliWallach in the defunct Italian comedy "Saturday Sunday Monday" "It should have run" she said of the show that seemed destined to play forever "The notices were mixed but the audiences enjoyed it It closed because the producers ran out of money they needed $100000 to see the show through" The vagaries of the stage don't seem to surprise her any more For all her raw-edged intensity Sada Thompson seems cool in the center of her own talent As to what she has in common with Tuesday Weld Orson Welles and other actors she says "A terrific desire to communicate Some actors are very closed offstage some very expressive it's strange The common thread is this desire to tell a story! "THE ACTOR'S most valuable tool is imagination This takes for granted body and voice training Imagination separates the best actor from the ordinary one It's the ability to be stimulated by work by emotion by a kind of humor It has to do with how you build a character discovering what he thinks which may be opposed to what he says" SHOWTIMES Dec 25 8:30 PM Dec 27 730 11:00 PM: Dec 29 7:30 11:00 PM Dec 26 7:30 11:00 PM Dec 28 7:30 11:00 PM Dec 30 7:30 11:00 PM TICKET PRICES: $950 $1100 $1250 $1350 except New year's eve FOR INFORMATION CALL 538-8811 BOX OFFICE OPEN DAILY IN HOTEL LOBBY Jordan Marsh Uadrland tVliami 163rd Street HollywoodKeeti's estchesterand Lc Blang To iym 1 1 I ickeli Mtm The Song Sty lings of GLEN ANTHONY CLUB AN ADULT GALA OPENING DEC 31 show RcserVe Now For New Year's Eve LENNY DAWSON ORCHESTRA SUPERB DINNERSLATE SUPPERSDANCING 11:15 PM SATURDAY reservations: 538-8811 Jimmy Mac Host-Manaqer I FREE PARKING DINING GUESTS RES: BOB DE WITT DISTINCTIVE LUNCHEONS www ivn-iHv UUGrUAILbUANUINu COCKTAILSDANCING INFORMAL ATTIRE INTIMATE DINING NIGHTLY 8:00 PM 3:00 AM Steak Room CT-' OPEN 11:00 AM 3:00 AM CvSoK BFNnF7VniJS OF TFI FORITIFS YOUR HOST: AHMED BOOB GAMMON CI UB.
