from nowhere to unexpectedly win
the Masters last year, Al Unser, Sr.
won this year's Indianapolis 500. It
was his fourth Indy victory, tying him
with A.J. Foyt for most career Indy

is nice to see old-timers such as

Steffi Graf established herself as

defeating Martina Navritilova.
And finally, after being knocked out
of the Open in the first round, John
McEnroe showed the world where his
main priorities lie at home with
Tatum and the baby. To be honest,
after seeing the picture of her on the

'Anything Goes' debut an impressive extravaganza
By KERRY FORD
Collegian Arts Writer
Musical comedies set in the 1930's
tend to be remarkably similar to one
another. They all seem to feature
burlesque love triangles that stub
bornly refuse to untangle themselves
until the play's final moments.
Cole Porter's Anything Goes, the
first production in Pennsylvania. Cen
ter Stage's new season, is not much
different. Although the plot trips
along typical romantic follies, PACS
has developed a charming, lively
musical for new audiences. In the
words of one of Porter's own songs,
"It's delightful. It's delicious. It's
delovely."
The musical, which had its black-,
tie premier at the Playhouse on Fri
day, is a romantic comedy that fol
lows the wandering hearts of two
young couples. Tony award-winner
Leilani Jones heads the 20-member
cast as they board the S.S. American
en route from New York to London.
From the moment Jones struts onto
stage to announce "If I'm not in the
chapel, you'll find me in the bar" she
holds the audience members as will
ing captives. A saucy nightclub own
er with an entourage of "angels",
Jones' character showcaes her ex
cellent timing and clever wittiness.
She doeg not upstage her fellow ac
tors, but rather works with them to
complement their performances for a
completely professional production.
Bob Morrisey also gives an impres
sive performance as Billy Crocker,
the smitten secretary who works for a
bumbling businessman (Jefferey V.
Thompson).
Since Morrisey played the role of
Billy once before in an off-Broadway
production at the Equity Library
Theater, it is not surprising that his
characterization is sharp and amus
ing. In his role as Billy, Morrisey
blunders from one poor disguise to
the next, from priest to deck hand to
dangerous gangster, he haplessly
struggles to woo the girl of his
dreams.

Lucy Show has strong sound
By DEBBIE BRODERICK
Collegian Arts Writer
With the release of their second
album, Mania, in 1986, The Lucy
Show has developed into a band with
a promising future.
Their first album, Undone,released
in 1985 achieved respectable success,
but it wasn't until Mania that their
success seemed secure. Original and
consistent rhythms dominate the
band's album as well as their live
shows. They opened for New Order
last fall in Pittsburgh where they
gave an energetic performance of
innovative new music to a receptive
audience.
A strong acoustic and drum sound
combined with keyboards, harp and
trumpet make for an interesting com
bination. The lyrics of "Sojourn's
End" mixed with vocalist Rob Van
deum's sound and Bryan Hudspeth on
drums creates a song reminiscent of
the sixties. "Shame" also has this
sixties sound of strong guitars,
drums. The song's lyrics reveal a
conflict with the characters in the
song. Don't think and don't you talk
/ just thank God for what you've
got / Don't you feel sick with shame
Petty begins tour
By MARY CAMPBELL
Associated Press Writer
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers'
eagerly anticipated "Rock 'n' Roll
Caravan 'B7" is rolling across Ameri
ca, and "Jammin' Me," one of the
summertime singles from their new
album, is climbing the chart.
The MCA album, "Let Me Up (I've
Had Enough)," was No. 16 with a
bullet which means it was climbing
on the June 6 best-selling chart.
"Jammin' Me" was No. 33 with a
bullet on the singles chart. They cut
the album in Los Angeles during a
month off from touring with Bob
Dylan and did it quicker and in a
more freewheeling way than they
usually do.
There has been speculation that
Dylan may have been responsible for
the speed and the style. Petty offers a
different reason. "I think the band
just hit a moment," Petty said. "We
did songs that didn't get on the al
bum, too. We're smart enough to
know if the songs are coming, don't
leave. You don't hit a creative well
every year. I'm real happy with this
album. I think it sums us up pretty
well.
"Bob (Dylan) came over to hear
the record, and Mike Campbell and I
wrote two songs with him, `Jammin'
luster one would expect to find in a
sought-after society girl. She wan
ders mousily through the evening
without arousing any real curiosity.
Even though the character of Hope is
somewhat bland, Dickinson manages
to shine with her musical numbers.
She particularly sparkles in her duet
with Morrisey for "It's Delovely."
As Sir Evelyn Oakleigh, Lee Chew
does the best he can with a role that
does not offer many inherent possibil
/ while we're playing this ugly
game? Harp player Eddie Tway adds
a different kind of string sound that
creates a lot of the band's originality.
Other strong acoustic sounding
songs from Mania include "Land and
the Life","View from the Outside",
and "A Million Things".

review
"Part of Me Now" offers a slow
melody with keyboards setting the
melancholy mood of the song. The
lyrics are moving and flow easily
with the music. I've been hit / I've
been smitten somehow / Weaved
your web / You've got a part of me
now. "Sad September" has this same
slow innovative sound that the band
has a talent for producing. This song
concentrates more on guitar than on
keyboard, but the same mellow sound
is created through the help of the
lyrics. September, and all the leaves
are falling to the ground / Still soon,
this cold, and my hands can feel the
Me' and 'I Got My Mind Made Up.'
That wound up on his last album."
Petty and the Heartbreakers have
been called megastars of the 1980 s.
And their tour with the Georgia Satel
lites and Del Fuegos, which began
May 26, is expected to be one of the
summer's best.
Petty can't remember how Heart
breakers became the name of the
band in 1976. He has known guitarist
Campbell since high school in Gaines
ville, Fla., and keyboardist Benmont
Tench almost as long. The group is
filled out with Stan Lynch on drums
and bassist Howard Epstein, who
replaced Ron Blair in 1982.
The first album, "Tom Petty and
the Heartbreakers," hit big in En
gland.
"Johnny Rotten and the punk thing
was starting to happen. We were
viewed as the American counterpart
to that. We went over as an opening
act and by the time we left we were
headlining. When we came back, we
knew what was coming and nobody
here did," Petty said.
Petty doesn't worry about fame: "I
don't think you can take it real se
rious and be around long. I still make
myself walk around on the street and
stuff. There's nothing more boring
than hearing somebody complain
about being famous."

ities. Evelyn is predictable and
uninspiring. However his stodgy
character is delightful in a duet with
Reno called "Let's Misbehave,"
which might be called the best num
ber in this musical.
But in all honesty, its difficult to
pick one clear cut favorite number
from PACS' Anything Goes because
all are performed so well. Much of the
credit for that success must go to
choreographer Joe Goode who added
bite / and soon will slow me down
"New Message", released as a
single in February of this year, is the
band's most mainstream track of
album. Roddy Lorrimer's trumpet
solo creates a modern dance sound
that the rest of the album doesn't
have. The trumpet is good, but it does
detract from the great acoustic sound
that the rest of the album has. The
lyrics are also lacking in creativity.
I've got a maniac start / see how
these eyes can shine / don't think
that I don't play the game. But this is
just one song of nine on an otherwise
good album. The newly released sin
gle of "New Message" contains three
versions of the song, (Trumpet solo
mix, Instrumental mix, and a new
version), and a new release," Invita
tion".
Mania as well as Undone are both
strong albums that reflect the band's
talent to produce good music. Both
albums are worth listening to, but the
single of "New Message" doesn't
seem to be an accurate representa
tion of the group's music. It gives
Roddy Lorrimer a chance to show his
talent for the trumpet, but it leaves
many fans wondering what happened
to The Lucy Show.
Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers will be bringing their "Rock 'n' Roll Caravan
'B7" to the Pittsburgh Civic Arena next Monday night in a triple bill concert
along with The Georgia Satellites and the Del Fuegos. The new tour is in
support of his new LP_ Let Me Up (I've Had Enough). The album has already
jumped into the top twenty on the heels of the single "Jammin Me," which is at
number 33 this week.

Birthday." However, Gillespie, who turns 70 on Oct. 21,
won't just be in the audience listening to Marsalis blow his
horn. He'll be working, too, conducting a big band and
blowing his own horn with its jauntily upturned bell.
Now that Carnegie Hall is renovated it was closed at
the time of last year's festival this year's event is back

Kuralt hosts special
By KATHRYN BAKER
AP Television Writer
Spending 20 years in a bus might
not be everybody's idea of a great
time, but to Charles Kuralt it's
"about the best job in television."
"The freedom of it is what's so
nice," the CBS "On the Road" corre
spondent said in a recent interview.
"They just let me go and find the
stories myself. They literally don't
know where I am during the week.
I'm just wandering."
But someone at CBS had noticed it
had been 20 years since the first "On
the Road," so he was in New York
putting together a retrospective of
the touching, funny and inspiring
stories of "jus' folks" that have made
him a broadcasting institution.
"20 Years on the Road with Charles
Kuralt" airs Wednesday on CBS.
Kuralt said picking the best of the
segments for the 1-hour special was
"maddening."
"I wish we had two or three hours,"
he said. "I think the result will be
lovely, but I'm going to carry around
a great regret at all the stories we
have to leave out, and all the good
people 'we're not going to be able to
mention."
He had already decided to include
"Coming Home," the story of the

ity (Natalie Oliver). These four sassy
ladies, the members of Reno's band,
peruse the ship in search of hot sail
ors and cold drinks.
The Angels each have a few lines,
but they mainly serve as the dance
corps for Anything Goes. Although
the Angels contribute greatly to the
animated nature of the dance num
bers (they are especially snappy
when Reno sings the title song), di
rector Allen R. Belknap would have
been well-advised to limit the time
Reno's Angels spend on stage.
Too much of a good thing is just not
good, and that is a problem with
Belknap's large cast. The PACS stage
often seems cluttered with too many
extra characters standing around
aimlessly while other actors delie
vered their lines. On several occas
sions, it would be better to let the
Angels wait backstage until they are
needed.
A familiar face to many local resi
dents is Peg French, a State College
native who plays Mrs. Wadsworth T.
Harcourt. French does well with the
simple role of Hope's mother. In her
scene with Poopsie the dog, French is
snotty and whining without overplay
ing her maternal role.
Also worth mentioning is Linda
Hacker's scenic design. Hacker wise
ly kept the scenery simple, this al
lows for easy movement of large
pieces without frequent curtain clos
ings. However, sometimes the sets
are so sparse they become confusing.
For example, the design for the two
separate cabins was ineffective be
cause it did not clearly define each
cabin and it left me guessing where
one room ended and the next began.
PACS season premier performance
of Anything Goes is an impressive
variation on the old stand-by of musi
cal extravaganzas. The combination
of fine acting and talented musical
performances make it a. memorable
and impressive show.
Pennsylvania Center Stage is only
beginning its second season, but if,
Anything Goes is any hint of what
PACS is capable of, I think the group
can expect many more successes
with its central Pennsylvania audi
ence.
Chandlers, poor, black, Mississippi
sharecroppers whose nine children
all went to college and got good jobs.
All came home for Thanksgiving, and
Kuralt and his crew captured a touch
ing moment out of an American
dream-come-true.
The idea for "On the Road" came
from his days as a cub reporter at his
hometown newspaper in Charlotte,
N.C.
"When I was there as a kid, I wrote
a little column, a little bit like 'On the
Road' 'People.' Kuralt said. "It
was about people who weren't well
known. Cops and cab drivers, folks
around town. And I'd always thought
that might translate to television."
It did. Except for a stint as anchor
of the "CBS Morning News" and a
continuing job as host of "CBS Sun
day Morning," Kuralt has spent most
of the last two decades "On the
Road."
"The secret is you mustn't be on a
deadline," Kuralt said. "It's hard if
you're used to covering news, be
cause you're used to being in a hurry
all the time. But you just have to
force yourself to go slow and not have
to get to Omaha tonight. Don't make
plans. Don't figure out where you're
going to be tonight ; Because if you're
not careful, you drive right past ter
rific stories."
