...people whose ideal of beauty is a bronze complexion in February, tanning parlors are sprouting faster than dandelions in May. Though no precise figures are available, tanning salons are raking in an estimated $300 million a year. At one of the trendiest, Hollywood's Uvasun, such celebrities as Liza Minnelli, Rod Stewart, Mariel Hemingway and even Mr. Tan himself, George Hamilton, spend upwards of $30 an hour to maintain their sunbaked looks. Less exclusive salons charge between $3 and $15 for half an hour in the synthetic sunlight. UVA Tan, located in an upscale Atlanta suburb, expanded two months...

Thus it is partly noblesse oblige and partly the instinct for survival that keeps Liza Minnelli (Angel), the bigger box-office attraction, out of Chita's way. Minnelli steps to center stage only to belt out three or four of Kander and Ebb's snazzier songs, while the rest of The Rink skates along on the momentum of uninspired professionalism. But Chita Rivera...
