...later as press secretary to Lady Bird Johnson, Auntie Mameish Liz Carpenter is heading home to Austin, Texas, "to think more, to write more and to raise a little hell." At a farewell party at Ford's Theater, Old Friends Pearl Bailey and Carol Charming sang a duet, and Nancy Dickerson and Gloria Steinem helped narrate Carpenter's life story. But stealing the show, as usual, was Liz herself. "I stand here as the only Democrat leaving town," she told the 650 guests. Reminiscing a bit, Carpenter, 56, cracked: "I can remember most...
Very little of the Soviet Union is on view, save for a few actors badly dubbed, a couple of dancers from the Kirov Bal let and several forests. The most characteristic Russian moment comes in a duet between Will Geer and Mona Washbourne. They portray the deceased grandparents of Tyltyl (Todd Lookinland) and Mytyl (Patsy Kensit), the two intolerable cuties who have been dis patched by Light (one of Miss Taylor's incarnations) to search out the Blue Bird.

But the momentum picks up for good when Elsie (Ellen Burkhardt) and Jack Point (Terry Knickerbocker) team in a lovely duet that tells the sad tale of "the merryman and his maid ("I have a song to sing, O!"); in this evocatively staged number, lyrics, music, choreography and voices blend into a moving statement of the main terms of the drama--the conflict between lord and jester for the fair maiden...
...Stade (Charles Wadsworth, piano and harpsichord; Gervase de Peyer, clarinet: Gerard Schwarz, trumpet; Columbia: $6.98). Two brilliant young American-born singers team up with a superior set of instrumentalists in a glowing recital of vocal music. The mood shifts in a varied repertory that encompasses Schumann's playful duet Das Glück as well as Chausson's haunting Chanson Perpetuelle, sung with grave beauty by Von Stade. Blegen's supple trills whirl with Gerard Schwarz's bright trumpet through Alessandro Scarlatti's aria Se geloso e il mio core...
