...Columbus, where he will perform at a fund-raising benefit for the arts council May 31, F. & R. Lazarus, one of the department stores, is even redecorating a part of a floor to look like the Carlyle, complete with ashtrays brought in from New York. Says Ric Wanetik, the council's executive director: "Here in the Midwest it's In to know who Bobby Short is and even more In to know that he represents class and style...
...were a sacred version of his sound-track anthem for Jonathan Livingston Seagull. One may question his taste, but not his enthusiasm or his exuberance. America, his up-tempo celebration of the immigrant glories of American life that opens and closes The Jazz Singer, is equal parts Emma Lazarus and Irving Berlin, and none the worse for it.

The program note says that this exercise in dementia is "loosely based on Chekhov's The Bear." Groucho (David Garrison) is the shysterish Samovar the Lawyer. Chico (Frank Lazarus) is a larcenous tongue-in-cheeky footman to the imperious Mrs. Pavlenko (Hewett), the Dumont role. Perfectly at ease as Harpo, Priscilla Lopez is a creature from another planet, who at one wonderfully zany moment plucks out the inevitable harp solo on the spokes of an upside-down bicycle...
