Jack Nicholson Maria Schneiders Hollywood Hopeful Karen Black portrays a 1930s starlet desperately clinging to her fantasy of film stardom in Paramount's "The Day of the Locust," opening today at the Fiesta. The film based on Nathanael West's famous novel about losers in the movie capital also stars Donald Sutherland and William Atherton. I DEPARTING: Two of the most prominent names on the local arts scene have resigned from their positions. Sally Dixon, whose leadership of the Film Section of the Museum of Art has won national recognition, will quit that position effective Aug. 31.

She intends to free-lance and will keep her advisory posts on both the state and national arts councils. No successor has been announced, and it will be extremely difficult for anyone to equal the super job she has done in creating an all-encompassing film program that must be counted as one of our city's major assets, even if it has not been accorded that recognition everywhere. It is fervently to be hoped that the loss of Mrs. Dixon will not lead to a diminution in the film program. Baker Salsbury, who has been acting head of the drama department at Carnegie-Mellon University, has accepted an offer from Robert Brustein, dean of Yale Drama School.

He will be the executive director of acting and directing programs for the school, and will also have a professorial appointment, teaching voice and acting in the drama school and assisting with voice coaching at the Yale Repertory Theater, a highly regarded institution. Among his other accomplishments, Salsbury contributed a strong acting vignette in the recent world premiere production of Archibald MacLeish's "The Great American Fourth of July Parade." Indeed, many thought he stole the show. NOSTALGIA "At Long Last Love," the Cole Porter song that was used as the title tune for Peter Bogdano-vich's current musical, was written for a stage musical called "You Never Know" that had a pre-Broadway tryout at the old Nixon Theater in Pittsburgh starting April 18, 1938. It was sung in the show by Clifton Webb, and the cast also included Lupe Velez, Libby Holman and Toby Wing, three names to warm the heart of any true nostalgia buff. "You Never Know," like "At Long Last Love" (the picture, not the song) was a flop.

Maybe the song, brilliant as it is, is a jinx. That would be extremely Ironic considering the conditions under which it was written. While riding on Long Island on an October day in 1937, Porter suffered a disastrous accident when his horse reared, fell on him, tried to get up, fell back on him and rolled over him, crushing both his legs. Waiting for help, the famous composer lay on the ground and worked on the lyrics for "At Long Last Love" to keep his mind off the pain. That leads me into a postscript to last week's New York trip that provided one of the unexpected highlights of the visit for me.

A genial public relations man at the Waldorf showed my wife and me, colleague Mike Kalina and his wife through the famous Cole Porter suite in the Waldorf Towers. In a plush nine-room apartment on 33rd floor, most elegant of American songwriters spent the last years of his productive life. Most of the apartment is left just as it was when Porter lived there. The furnishings have a 1930s look and feeling to them, although the famous designer Billy Baldwin decorated the suite in 1955. But, he used much furniture from the Porters' Paris home, most of which is still in the apartment.

Also lending a distinctive touch is the magnificent parquet floor brought over from Europe. The Waldorf rents the suite, 33A, for handsome sum of $450 a day, if you're a Porter fan who is also well-fixed. The view from Porter's apartment Is not as impressive as it once was because of the many new high-rise buildings on Park Avenue. But, it is tempting for a devotee of Porter's music to sit down at his piano and rip off a few choruses of "Down in the Depths on the 90th Floor." And it is delightful to speculate about the famous personages who sat at his distinguished dinner table from Noel Coward to the Duchess of Windsor. By the way, the Waldorf's man told us we could have seen the Duchess' digs in the Towers except that she was currently in residence.

The Waldorf still draws the celebrity trade. Dinah Shore and Frank Sinatra were among the well-known guests in the hotel that day, we were told. (Not together, need I add?) BARGAIN NOTE: The current head-liner at the Waldorf's Empire Room is Joey Heatherton. Recently there were Tony Martin and Cyd Charisse, and next there will be the Lettermen. AH of them are regulars on the Holiday House schedule locally.

Indeed, the Martins are currently headlining at the Monroeville club. At the Waldorf you can see them for the special dinner rate of $32.50, which includes a meal and one drink. Here at home you can see them give the same show for less than a third of that price.
