4 THE TRIBUNE. Oakland. California July 6, D-3 Workaholic. The female workaholics; Machlowltz interviewed were! especially concerned abopt their ability to combine a oa-reerwith parenthood. 'i Women workaholics tend to be overtuned to the btlities of.

parenthood and dertuned to its pleasures," she said. "That is sad because chll- dren provide women with the -opportunity to care for someone else, which they cannot get-from their Jobs. Coatlneed trail Page D-l eflts of 'the male workaholics totaled $55,000, compared with $29,000 for female Women workaholics were less likely to perceive themselves as successful than either1 male workaholics or men, and women graduates who worked less than 50 hours," Professor Whiteside said. A majority of'female workaholics said that they derived more pleasure from their carreers than from leisure or family. "Workaholic women were the most in agreement with the statement My career is the focal point of my life, said Pro-' fessor Whiteiide.

The group, that most strongly, disagreed with the statement were female non-workaholics. -'The workaholic men tended to agree with the statement but not as much as did. the women. Dr. Marilyn Machlowltz, a New York psychologist who did a pioneering study of compulsive work among both sexes In the early 1970s, said that workaholic women might have difficulty finding men to marry because women tend to marry up.

Workaholic women and their mates also have different perceptions of what marriage should be like, she said. If one partner thinks that dinner is something popped into the microwave and the other thinks dinner is an elaborate meal by candlelight, then the relationship is doomed, said Mahlowitz, author of the recently published Inside Moves: Corporate Smarts for Women on the Way'Up (Careertrack publications). Male workaholics often think that they would be happier with the traditional wife, but it doesnt always work out that way because such wives sometimes, resent the (workaholics absences. By Hebert Taylor DM TWbswo Its a distance of only six but its all uphill, and when Charles Pierce concluded his opening show at the Venetian Room in San Francisco, he exclaimed, "Youve come a long way, baby." In the 1960s, Pierce held court in the showroom of a Tenderloin neighborhood bar called the Gilded Cage, -with an entrance down the not-so-grand alley behind Bardellis restaurant Pierce billed himself as a "male actress in those days, but his devastating comic monologues were miles away from adoring impersonation. He left the serious stuff to LaVerne Cummings and Jim Bailey.

Twenty years later. Pierce has made it to the of the heap. At least its the top of Nob Hill, and a weeks engagement (through Sunday) at the Fairmont Hotel. With the exception Its a monologue from heaven, of Tina Topper and James and you can imagine Mae Wests -Brown, it may be the most dar- idea of eternity. There are also recollections of her education in life: "I was 15 before I learned French was a language.

Now that Bette Midler has made raunch respectable, and Wayland Flowers and his puppet Madame are titillating teenagers 'on televisions "Solid Gold, Pierce is free to say almost anything, He almost does. The only real fumbles are Tallulah Bankhead, which is nothing more than a throaty voice and a smutty Joke, and a wobbly voiced Katharine Hepburn from The Lion in Winter. Pierce uses the bold, sharp strokes of the best caricaturists, but his Hepburn is too doddering to be amusing. A song from her Broadway musical "Coco bids the sketch a maudlin farewell. Joan Collins the youngest of this crowd provides an enticing beginning for a full-fledged sketch.

Now its mostly attutude, but what else does Collins have? Pierces impersonation is devas- ing booking in the Venetian Rooms newly liberated policy. It was a night of celebration for Pierces fans who have made their own move from back alleys to the ornate showroom with the $4.25 drinks and the $15 cover charge. Pierce surveyed the gilt splendor with a typically raised eyebrow and declared, "It used to be the mens room at the Vatican. He introduced his routines as "the all-old Charles Pierce show, and proved to be as funny as ever with caricatures of Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck and the dearly departed Mae West But there is a new face on the bill, Pierces wickedly accurate Sketch of Joan Collins. The Venetian Rooms atmosphere and cavernous size sometimes work against Pierces deft comic mannerisms.

"That costume change takes a long time he explains as he, undulates, back into view. "Youve got to remember Im Pierce has found an inspired way of retaining her Jokes without their seeming any more-than before her death.

A desire to maintain balance in life causes soma, women, especially those in their, early 30jty seek therapy to cure their addiction to work, according to Dr. Jay B. Rotar-lich, a Wall Street psychiatrist and author of Work and Lover The Crucial Balance (Summit. Books). The first step in curing Work addiction is to find out why ped-I pie have put work first.

Some women, Rohrllch said, are binge workaholics. They use work to resolve a stressful situation. For example, some women work incessantly after a divorce because they feel rejected by their mate and fearful for their futures. For other female workaholics, devotion to work began in childhood. Some were neglected by their parents and.

turned to Work to give them the. sense of fulfillment they lacked at home. Other women had had chaotic childhoods and liked work because it Js highly dor. fined. Helping these women to find pleasure in leisure and relationships often helps them put less emphasis on work.

Many workaholics are able to shift their emotional priorities to love and lesiure, Rotar-lich said. They do not neces- sarily work with less effective-' ness, but they do seem to enjoy life more.

Pierces Joan Collins is mock-demure as well as wicked. She admits her bedroom is nicknamed the OK Corral, but she wonders, dont people pick on her Dynasty co-star, Linda Evans? Pierce has a asked our promoter to end the mail order ticket system as soon as possible so that no one will pay money unless they get a ticket Promoter Sullivan said that beginning with the groups appearance in Jacksonville, later this month, tickets will be sold over the counter.

He said ticket prices had not been changed but that fans will be able to buy one or two tickets rather than a block of four. Jackson' said he felt great concern that many youngsters who wanted to see him and his brothers in concert were having trouble getting tickets. Weve worked a long time to make this show the best it can be, he said. But we know a lot of kids are having trouble getting tickets. The other day I got a letter from a girl in Texas named Ladonnia Jones.

Shed been saving her money from odd jobs to buy a ticket, but with the current, tour system shed have to buy four tickets wealth of material to expand the Collins segment, beginning with the titles of her movies such as fhe Virgin Queen and The Devil Within Her. Not to mention her enticing appearance on the cover-of The Myra Breckinridge Cookbook. Pierce neatly summarizes Collins Dynasty performances. I dont do anything. I cant dance.

I cant sing. I Just wear clothes. fford When Jackson finished his statement, he left Without answering questions, waving, his gloved hand and saying Hi. None of the three brothers Mario, Tito and Randy spoke at the news conference. Another brother, Jermaine, did not attend.

A lot of young people wha otherwise would not be able to attend the concert will now be able to do so, the mayor said, adding that the city had received requests for well over 9,000 tickets. Arrowhead Stadium workers and Jackson road crews have completed assembling the metal skeleton of the Jacksons stage a 93-foot-high, 159-foot-wide and 91-foot-deep structure that stretches from the 25-yard line of the footbalLarena to the end zone. A 51-foot light tower also was erected, from which the lighting and sound will be Cootlaoed tram Pago D-l eral chaos resulting in two dumped promoters, poorly handled deals with stadium magan-agers, and at least one vitriolic lawsuit. Jackson, wearing sunglasses and his trademark glittering outfit, said he had asked tour officials to arrange a new, ticket-distribution process, one that no longer requires a $120 mdil 'order for a block of four $30 tickets. 'Prospective buyers had to send in a $120 money order to get in the ticket lottery.

People not picked at random to get tickets wouldnt get their money back for several weeks. "There has also been a lot of talk about the promoter holding mpney for tickets that didnt sell, Michael Jackson said, reading from a statement. "Ive pard the day after The Thing won five Tony awards. The newcomers tried hot to feel intimidated. "We congratulated Tom, and made some Tony Jokes, and then got on with the play, Vickery recalled.

There is a palpable sense coming from Mike, as if to say I picked you and I think youre right. He has ho time to make excuses, and Consequently you dont have to make excuses yourself, Replacement Or not, Vickery is a star on Broadway, at least for the next three months. He noticed the difference during rehearsals, when he realized his stage wardrobe would not be made up of Jeremy Irons hand-Yne-downs.

The American dream of running away to become a part of the circus comes true for many area residents who, in a show of hometown support, will march side-by-side with circus downs, a herd of elephants and some 25 local marching bands ward-robed in the circus own splashy costumes.
