...played the flasher in the NBC comedy special Just for Laughs, has a new act in Hollywood. He has published a map showing the graves of 140 celebrities, including Theda Bara, Humphrey Bogart, Walt Disney, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable and Jean Harlow, who are all buried in Forest Lawn -the cemetery satirized by Evelyn Waugh in The Loved One. Chellel sells about 40 maps a day on weekends (price: $5 each). For $25 more he will arrange to have flowers delivered to cemeteries for fans of deceased stars.

Some of the musical numbers are staged, for no particular reason, as white-on-white stylizations, à la Busby Berkeley, while others are shot realistically - and sloppily - in places like the high school lawn. Chorus members are not even given attitudes they can maintain when they are in the background of a shot. Camera work is film school simple, and movement within shots does not even reach the levels we are accustomed to in TV, whence Kleiser sprang or, more properly, stumbled. Even...
