(UPI) Elvis Presley, whose famed swivel hips have been a liltle pudgy lately, is 40 years old, overweight and exhausted. He canceled a two-week engagement in Las Vegas this week after three days and reserved room at the Baptist Hospital today for treatment of fatigue, according to Ms doctors. "He just got very tired and fatigued and we thought it would be best if he cut his show- TV in Review here short this time rather than run into complications," said Dr. Elias Ghanem, the singer's Las Vegas physician.

"We can't find much wrong with him," Ghanem said. "One of Ihe liver enzymes is elevated and what he needs is rest."

ROBERT ROY SHAW RICHARD SCHEIDER DBEYFUSS OVER ENDS By JOAN HANAUER NEW YORK (UPI) The cleverest thing about "Big Eddie," who makes his debut Saturday night smoking a cigar in a bubblebath, is the name of the company that packages it Deezdemzandoze Productions. The show is long on Damon Runyon style Noo Yawk accents and short on funny lines. The first two episodes will appear on CBS-TV in the Saturday p.m. slot, then on Sept. 19 "Big Edclie" switches to Fridays, p.m., all EDT.

To talk about the best first means discussing the actors who will be regulars on the show. Sheldon Leonard stars as Eddie Smith, a tough guy with heart of gold who owns and operates a sports arena. Leonard, whose hair has turned gray playing mob members and their pals over the years, is his usual authoritative self in a role that's a distant cousin to Nathan Detroit of "Guys and Dolls." He is like Detroit particularly because he has finally married his girlfriend, Honey, after a "courtship" of some 17 years. Sheree North can mangle the language with the best of them and she's a delight to watch -even to listen to, so long as you ignore the dreary dialogue. In a very small part in the first episode, is Quinn Cummings as Eddie's granddaughter, Ginger, and where they foundan eight-year-old girl who can sound like Sheldon beats all.

Then there are Eddie's two employes, Allan Oppenheimer as Eddie's nervous brother who worries about everything from money to whether whiplash is catching, and Ralph Wilcox as Raymond McKay, a college- educated black youth who is the only one in the cast who speaks the King's English. Unfortunately, he does it mostly in jiving rhyme. That leaves Billy Sands as Bang-Bang Valentine, the old- timer with the prize-fighter's beat-in face who acts as Big Eddie's cook and surprise -is just like a member of family. The first episode is supposed to reveal something about Big Eddie's character how he looked after the best interests of his dead war buddy's son, how he actually shed a tear (just one) when his wife and orphaned granddaughter hit it off, and how he came to suffer a whiplash injury in the bathtub. The last of those incidents gives Leonard and Miss North a chance to bat the language back and forth as they trade insults in stage New Yorkese.

The insults, unfortunately, just aren't that funny she finds a speech he made boring, he is embarrassed that his wife is still in high school, she is ashamed her husband is a fourth-grade dropout, he says her beam is broadening, and so on. By this time he's in his bubblebath, she drops his shoes and jacket into the tub, he wants to kiss and make up and then pulls her, evening gown and all, into the suds, then you get the idea. For anybody who's trying to plan ahead, when "Big Eddie" gets into its regular Friday night time slot, it will be competing with the half-hour veteran "Sanford Son" and with "Mobile Two," a new liour-long series on the adventures of a television news reporter, played by Jackie Cooper. information by tomorrow (FrL day)," said Presley's Memphis physician, Dr. George Ni- chopoulos, who was with the singer in Las Vegas and flew home with him Thursday.

Nichopoulos refused to elaborate. Presley opened at the Las Vegas Hilton Monday night and had scheduled performances through Labor Day. At the suggestion of his doctors, however, he canceled the engagement after Wednesday night's performances. Presley did one show opening night and two shows each Tuesday and Wednesday, but observers said he appeared tired Wednesday night, occasionally resting on a stool when he was not the featured part of the act. Maurice Elliott, an assistant administrator at Baptist Hospital, said Presley would be given a suite of rooms on the lop floor of the 18-story hospital.

The hospital reportedly has relocated some other patients on that floor to accommodate Elvis. "We always know he's coming but we never know exactly when," said one nurse late Thursday. Last January, Presley occupied that suite for two weeks when he suffered what Ni- chopoulos described as an intestinal blockage caused by a "twisted colon." After Presley was released, Nichopoulos said the problem responded to treatment, but he refused further comment. Presley also entered Ihe Mid- South Hospital for treatment of an "eye problem" but stayed only two days. Nichopoulos refused to elaborate on that hospitalization.

He also entered Baptist in Jane, 1973, for what was reported as pleurisy, and returned to the hospital in October of that year for what Nichopoulos said was pneumonia. BURLINGTON The Robert Hull Fleming Museum at the University of Vermont in Burlington announces the opening of new installations from the permanent collection in the American and Ethnographic Galleries. On Aug. 29 the galleries will officially open and the exhibitions will remain on view through February, 1976. In the American Gallery, "Collectors Collections" selects six important benefactors to the Fleming Museum, ranging from the museum's inception as the Park Gallery of Art in the 1870's, to the present day.

The exhibition displays many of the objects given by each individual (or family). Included are works by Fragonard, Rodin, Lipchitz, Delacroix, Homer, and Bierstadt, as well as a number of non-Western gifts. However, the emphasis is not only upon the quality of particular objects, but also upon how eacli reflects the life of its former owner; his or her artistic abilities, interests and acquaintances, family history, connections with the university and the state of Vermont, as well as the popular tastes and trends in art at (he time. Works of art in a variety of media are supplemented by photographs, personal and family memorablia, and souvenirs of foreign travel. "Traditional Africa" if on view in the Ethnographic Gallery.

This installation offers a glimpse of three major cultural regions of Africa through rarely displayed ob- West Africa, jects from the Museum's The Luba Tribe from Zaire collection.
