After all those concerts with the blue-jeans set, Singer John Denver is finally heading for Tuxedo Junction. For one week in August, the Rocky Mountain balladeer will make his first major nightclub appearance-on the same bill with Frank Sinatra at Lake Tahoe.

After administering first aid to the couple, Shigeto turned his attention...
