...Wilder colors, like oranges, reds blues, purples and wins, remain at the forefront of fashion, says Ruotolo. He boasts that when he recently presented several partially shaved women with frosted blue hair at a fashion show in Boston, "the crowd went wild!" At Olive's in Boston, women favor cellophane colors of plums, wines and reds...
This year is the 100th anniversary of Lewis' birth. A postage stamp will be issued from Sauk Centre this month, and in June there will be a production of Thornton Wilder's Our Town. The summer will see the annual Sinclair Lewis Days road race, beauty pageant and parade. The Sinclair Lewis Eagles Aerie and Auxiliary 3847 are selling popcorn at birthday events, and the Centennial Committee is offering souvenir T shirts, mugs and tractor hats. As Richard Lingeman writes in Small Town America: Lewis certainly would have "appreciated the transubstantiation of his indictment of Main Street into positive thinking...
MARRIED. Gilda Radner, 38, high-strung, quirky comedian who skittered from Saturday Night Live to films, most recently The Woman in Red; and her co-star in that film, Gene Wilder, 49, frizzy-haired actor, writer and director who specializes in playing jumpy, self-deprecating shlemiels; she for the second time, he for the third; in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a tiny hilltop village in southern France.

ENGAGED. Gilda Radner, 38, loudmouthed, lantern-jawed comic actress on TV's Saturday Night Live, in films (First Family) and on Broadway (Lunch Hour); and Gene Wilder, 49, cherubic actor whom she met in 1981 on the set of Hanky Panky, where they fell in love both on-and offscreen (real life and reel life diverge in their latest movie together, The Woman in Red, in which he stars and directs and she co-stars as a spurned admirer); in Los Angeles. The marriage, her second, his third, is planned for October in Connecticut...
Adapting the 1977 French movie Pardon Man Affaire to his own rubber-faced disciplines, Writer-Director Wilder has fashioned an ironic, worldly, yet sternly moral comedy that gives an energizing twist to every farcical convention and finds the perfect timing for every rubber-faced reaction to calamity. Judith Ivey as a wife whose dimness is perfectly shaded, Gilda Radner as an angry romantic, and Charles Grodin as a secretive goof all follow their leader's spirit. The result is the summer's first comedy for adults. May they respond profitably to so rare a gift. -By Richard Schickel...
