BY THE ROUNDER DESERT INTERLUDE in busy screen career it onjoyod by Ac-tross Joan Taylor and her hut-, band, Lonnib Freeman, who vacationed rec ontly at popular Howard Manor in Palm Springs, a nsori that attracts film stars.

WHERE LATIN EYES ARE SMILIN' Only once in a lifetime does one find a monicker like Bill McKelly mixed with enchiladas; tacos and' chili rel- lenos. But dont let it throw you. Bill, who is top brass at Tortilla Petea on Alvarado St at 8th St, came by the Erin lzedj monicker in a legit way.

This lad with the Latin eyes sparkling from the map of County Kildare is descended from a father born on the Child Sod and a mother bom in Mexico. Bills dad passed away when Bill was only a year old. Bora' in Trinidad, Cota Bill learned abont Mexican delicacies and their preparation from his mother, bat It wasnt nntU three years ago that he opened his own Mexlcateo sen. i The word Mexlcatessen Is most proper for Tortilla Petes. Its a restaurant with additional facilities for one to buy specialties of the house for home consumption.

They are prepared in advance and the buyer only need heat them. Tortilla Pete's isnt a plush eatery with red carpet service, but the quality of food can compare with any top-flight restaurant. Colorful travel posters of Latln-Amerlcan countries and one heralding a Cantinflas appearance adorn the walls, while soft native music is served between courses. The mean Is topical and moderately priced. The Mexico City (S3 cents) Inclndes enchilada, taco, Mans, rice and a salad; the Tijuana (99 cents) sports two tacos or enchiladas, beans, rice and salad; the Jnares (99 cents) featares tamale, enchilada, beans, rice and salad; the Laredo ($1.10) adds chili relleao to the other servings, while the Ball-flghter Special ($1.29) is the eonp de gras.

Bill took me through the kitchens, which are manned by women cooks, and they are efficient and sparkling. Up until my Tortilla Petes visit I was under the impression that the Mexican tortilla was made from com. McKelly told me its prepared from stone-ground hominy. Hominy or corn, they are and so is the rest of the food. The New Tear showings in Miami (what am I saying?) included Lillian Roth at the Morocco, Sheila Barrett at Bill Jordans Bar of.
