...Ruth Buzzi, 28, from Wequetequock, Conn., plays Gladys, the man-hungry frump in the hairnet and ratty sweater-a character she developed when playing the spinster secretary in a summer-stock production of Auntie Mame. A graduate of 20 cabaret revues, she excels at song-and-dance numbers but is guaranteed to break it up when, as Gladys, she confides: "I never go out with soccer players.

Fun and games pop out on the walls, making the Mona Lisa look like a sedate frump and some of Toulouse-Lautrec's old haunts seem like a meeting of mah-jongg players. Ben Johnson's voluptuaries are in the pink, Mel Ramos trots out jungle queens in tiger-skin bikinis, Marjorie Strider shows paintings that project into the 36-Dimension, and Herb Hazelton delights in garish girdles from the Sears, Roebuck catalogue. Andy Warhol's Blue Girlie (9 ft. by 6 ft.) has a room all to herself...
