Gig Young, Shirley Booth to star in Harvey at SF By SONORA RAE CLARK For entertainment that leaves the mind and senses blasted, boggled and blown, the Ike and Tina Turner Show which opened Friday night at the Circle Star Theater in San Carlos can hardly be topped. The Turners two-night stand in San Carlos was a complete sell-out, attesting to the pair's popularity in the Bay area.

But Turner -Ians bad to suffer a considerable wait to see the stars of the show Ike and Una appeared only in the last third of the performance. Luckily, the long build-up consisted of truly interesting groups, the first being Willis, Don and Tracy an unlikely-looking trio whose blending voices quickly resolved their visual incongruities. ROCK GROUPS Backing up the group was Final program of Palo Alto twilight shows Music of Mozart, Haydn and Vivaldi makes up the final program in the 1971 Palo Alto Twilight Concerts. The performance in this 13th and last program in the summer series will be by the Palo Alto Chamber Orchestra, conducted by William Whitson. Guest soloist will be Marilyn Thompson of Palo Alto, who is featured in Mozarts Piano Concerto No.

9 in Flat Major. Other works on the concert are Vivaldis Concerto Grosso Op. 3, No. 3 and Haydns Symphony No. 44 in Minor, subtitled Tragic.

Site of the concert is the amphitheater at Jordan Junior High School, 750 N. California Palo Alto. Performance time is 6:30 p.m. the Extension 5, a rousing rock band that had the audience bouncing in their seats. A barrage of stimulating rock pieces ensued, "Im Gonna Treat Her Like a Lady, I Just Wanna Be Free and Kind of People." The pace slackened only slightly for a country-rock song, You Got a Friend, but most of the time, the group was in high gear.

Even the conga drummer applied himself so energetically to his skins as to earn a pair of visibly swollen hands by the end of the 30-minute set. The wave of disappointment which swept through the crowd when Ike and Tina did not appear following the intermission soon dissipated under the impelling beat of the Kings of Rhythm, the band that accompanies the Turners. As usual, die band members kept up a steady dance during the numbers, which was further enhanced by the group's spectacular costumes. Sporting the male version of hot pants, tights and boots and eq upped with shoulder-strap purses, the band presented an outrageously amusing and brilliantly colorful sight WISECRACKS At long last, Ike and Tina burst onto the stage amid cheers. Tina immediately dominated the scene with her copper-colored glow of charisma, screaming, walling, sighing into the microphone while Ike punctuated her phrases with wise-cracks.

The Circle Star Theaters maximum exposure set-up was often thwarted by the mountains of amplifiers blocking the audiences view on one side, but with all those decibels handy, nothing blocked the sound. Presumably the king wait was worthwhile joined by the three shapely Ikettes, Tina sang, danced, shook and gyrated herself into a frenzy that left the crowd roaring with exhilaration. dence in Los Altos Hills, designed by architects Gar-finkel and Kimura. The fourth home on the tour is located in Palo Alto and will be announced at the Cultural Center. George Cody was the architect.

Homes selected for the tour offer a wide range in design while keeping within the preferences and needs of the clients involved. The Leach home, located on an acre of sloping land, sought to provide maximum viewing possibilities while also giving ample wall space for the familys library and art collection. A variety of shapes for the external design of the home evolved from selection and framing of key vistas. Exterior decks were added for wider and deeper views of tiie surrounding to present Impromptu Geary bux-oifice since Hair first came to San Francisco more than two years ago. Another featured cast member of Harvey is Jesse White, a veteran television, film and stage character actor.

Young, honored with an Oscar fin: his performance in the 1969 movie, They Shoot Horses, Dont stars in Mrs. Chases comedy as the gentle, frequently tipsy El wood P. Dowd, whose constant companion is Harvery, an invisible 6-foot-2V-inch tall white rabbit.

Since only El-wood has the ability to see Harvey, he finds friends and relatives extremely reluctant to believe in his friends existence. Miss Booth co-stars as El-woods widowed sister, Veta Louise, who is profoundly embarrassed at the spectacle of El wood introducing Harvey to all her friends and fearful that his eccentric carryings-on will ruin her daughters chances for a normal life among the right people. $The.

Nothing is so rare in the theater today as a light-hearted comedy with' no ax to grind, no message, not even an experimental form. This comedy by F. Hugh Herbert, about the couple who met at the top of the Empire State building, follows their nights adventures and conversations in the bachelors apartment. It could strictly be called a formula play.

Boy meets girl, and in the old requirement, they meet cute. Misunderstandings follow and the ending comes out right. WITTY DIALOG But the characters are pleasant, the dialogue is witty, not a set of wise-cracking jokes. In situations and lines the comedy was originally thought a shocker, but the playwright has a fundamental decency and good nature. Though there is no shock about it now it is just as amusing.

Oddly enough, even the heroines mini-skirts do not make the play seem dated. The comedy depends on a cute heroine, and Hillbarn has found just the right girl in Cheryl Lloyd, a newcomer from San Franciso State College. She is the outspoken girl whose tongue never met the word inhibition. She is ingenuous, with a bubbling vitality. As an actress she has a perfect sense of timing in her effervescence.

Opposite her, Scott Tobin, in a Hillbarn debut, quiet, understated and appealing, is an excellent foil. He is young, needs to remember to put his shoulders back, but he pos PARIS OA66100 H24 Un Av J.

Derek Chamiey is the third of the trio, the sophisticated cynic who is as much the victim of the girls overflowing candor as the architect Bill Elliott comes on once as the father who gets his Irish up at finding his daughter at the apartment, and knocks the architect cold for a second-act curtain. This is all he has to do, and Free, public tours to four Midpeninsula homes will be held Sunday afternoon from 1 to 5 oclock as the finale to the Home Show Exhibit currently on view at the Palo Alto Community Cultural Center.

Persons interested in making the tours should report to the Cultural Center, 1313 Newell Road, at 1 p.m., where they will be given tickets that will serve as identification for participating in the tours. Information on the individual homes, brochures and maps also will be distributed at that time. The homes to be visited are: the Walter Leach residence in Los Altos Hills, designed by architect William Guy Garwood; the Robert C. Peterson residence in Menlo Park, designed by Peterson; and the John F. Marion resi Church The Village Players will present Tad Mosels impromptu at' 10 a.m.

As if acting a leading role and directing did not make up a full occupation Chamiey also designed the realistic stage setting.

The suggestion rooms and landscape beyond the stage doors is in Hillbams best design tradition. Architect Peterson, in designing a series of multiple living and play areas for his family, oriented the house across the lot at such an angle to provide maximum southeastern exposure, while still giving privacy for parents and children. A mutual respect for the site and the interrelation that exists between building and landscape open space were the keys in the design of the Marion residence. Cody's design of the fourth home was for a site in Palo Alto, in which the family desired modem convenience but minus the sparseness of contemporary living with the retention of warmer, traditional styles.
