...Cannes still flourishes, it's because it is supported by Hollywood films and stars. For the world press, a star is by definition American--or in a pinch, English. So everyone ogles at the big parade: Dustin Hoffman, Elizabeth Taylor, Cher, Mick Jagger, Kenneth Branagh, Sandra Bullock and Elton John. None of these worthies were showing completed films; they were on hand simply to bring luster to a festival where voyeurism is a vocation. Gawkers in evening dress could watch La Liz at a lavish dinner to benefit AIDS research, where she auctioned off a Robert Rauschenberg painting with...

WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS TO HEAR THAT songwriter Elton John will follow the success of The Lion King [Pop Music, March 13] by writing music for a new version of Aida. Maybe now we'll see updates of Carmen, Don Giovanni and Lohengrin, or even new rap versions of Hamlet and King Lear! John E.
