Singing leaves Rock speechless

The Los Angeles opening of “I Do, I Do,” starring Carol Burnett and Rock Hudson, was a barrel of fun for all concerned, especially for Rock, who had never been on a stage before but whose high good humor as he sang and danced was infectious. Carol is one of the most’ talented women in the world, of course, so her many-faceted performance in ‘‘l Do, I Do” was no surprise. Whether she was subtly revealing a wife’s sustaining love for a pompous and foolish husband through deft underplaying or bumping and grinding for all she was worth in the broad comedy number, “Flaming Agnes,” Carol was magnificent. And, considering her record, that was to be pectedOn the other hand, before the show, nobody wanted to bet how Rock would project

Hurryin Hoosiers By J- Q- Fann

Yours truly from our thirty yard line seats have these thoughts about the interior linemen of 1973. We think this is the best fortified position on the team. There is more experience and more depth. Especially experience. We should be able to go with people who have started many games. At center is Chuck Sukurs who started the first game his sophomore year and almost all of them since. He is about 235, tall and talented. He is raie of the best of the Big Ten centers, in fact maybe the best. He will be trying for Med School next year but wants to bow out of football in Pasadena. Backing Sukurs could be Griffith, a junior who played some there last year and this spring or Cook who should play some football. Griffith is 220 lbs. while Cook is 230. John Babacock who was on the Elkhart State Finalist basketball team of three years ago played some last year, especially centering for punts. He is the smallest of the center prospects but has good attitude and desire. People from Evansville feel that Bill Brusse, the sophomore is getting bigger and tougher and this Indiana All-Stater is sure-fire-they say. He comes from big, big stock and is filling out. It

across the footlights. His stardom, bred and nurtured by the camera, had never been tested in live theater, a media which has been the downfall of more than one movie great. Happily Rock was a rousing success, even in the musical numbers. He doesn’t dance like Gene Kelley nor sing like Tony Martin, but technically he did well enough in both depart-’ ments while taking such obvious pleasure in his work that he was a joy to behold. + + + And more about the stage: Warren Caro, director of theater operations for Shubert Theaters, conceded while he was in Los Angeles recently that we don’t have new musicals comparable to those of the past (“Roberta,” “Oklahoma,” “Showboat,” etc.) be-

Blind partners is play of day at Maxwelton Winners in the nine hole blind partners play for the day at Maxwelton last Wednesday were: Low gross — Polly Boner and B. J. Silveus; low net — Cynthia Fry and Annabell Hollar; low putts — Donna Johnson and Jo Butler. Winners of 18 hole blind partners game were: Low gorss — Dottie Hossinger; low net — Caryl Vestal, Joann Stoelting and Nedra Jones; low putts — Lura Stone and Esther Brewster. There were 43 ladies present for the day’s activities.

would appear that he might give Sukurs and the other a run for the position but I think it is Sukurs. At the guards Gene Shumaker started as a soph but a knee operation makes him still questionable. Early drills should tell this tale. He was a fine guard last year and I thought one of our better football players but can’t count on him for 1973. I think it will be Jim Shuck who, as a freshman, started some games and played a lot from early in the season. This Ohio lad is a fine prospect and I think is destined to be one of our better boys. On the other side I pick Dan Boarman looked like the best of the linemen as a frosh and has always been tough. These two can do the job and will have to do well for they are being pushed by two others who won’t give in easily. Ron Klenoski played offensive tackle as a freshman but is now appeared to be headed for guard. He has size and the makings of a football player. On the other side an Indiana born lad by the name of Dean Vonderheide. He is from Jasper. IU fans could watch for Doug Foree in the South lineup of the Indiana All-Star game. Such schools as Notre Dame, Nebraska, Purdue, Ohio State, etc. wanted him but Corso’s personality was the key. cause we don’t seem to have composers who can write memorably melodious scores. And, Mr. Caro continued, we don’t even have many great playwrights feeding Broadway now, because television is draining off the talent. Poor television. It gets blamed for everything. Mr. Caro did say, though, that “A Little Night Music,” currently playing at the Shubert Theater in New York is jolly, good entertainment, and he’s right. CROSS-COUNTRY HELLO The first successful transcontinental telephone line became operative between New York and San Francisco on July 29, 1914. POLLUTION ALERT New York City was placed on alert as pollution levels rose above the danger point on July 29, 1970.

John Whitaker is ‘Tom Sawyer' in film of Twain's classic

Johnny Whitaker has been a professional actor for more than three-quarters of his life, which qualifies him as a veteran performer. However, Johnny recently celebrated his 13th birthday, and within a short time he will probably be acclaimed as one of the most popular, preadolescent performers of our time. Johnny is the title-role star of “Tom Sawyer,” a musical film adaptation of Mark Twain’s beloved classic, which is being presented by Reader’s Digest and released by United Artists, an entertainment service of Transamerica Corporation. An Arthur P. Jacobs Production, the film stars, with Johnny, Celeste Holm, Jeff East and Warren Oates. It will open tonight (Wednesday) at the Pickwick theatre, Syracuse. • • Academy Award-winners Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman wrote the music, lyrics and screenplay for the APJAC International Picture produced by Jacobs and directed by Don Taylor. The music was conducted and adapted by John Williams, also an “Oscar” winner. Frank Capra Jr. was associate producer. That Johnny is a highly gifted actor is not news to the millions of televiewers who dialed his weekly performance with Brian Keith on “Family Affair” through six successful seasons. But he also has away with a song, as is demonstrated in “Tom Sawyer.” His emergence as a popular young star has not dulled.his natural charm. While more than 1,000 youngsters were interviewed and several dozen actually screen-tested for the role, there was unanimity in the final selection of Johnny and the decision to grant him top billing in the lavish color production filmed on location in Missouri. ■ ■wy till IN TITLE ROLE — Johnny Whitaker has the title role in Reader’s Digest musical adaptation of “Tom Sawyer,’’ which will open tonight at the Pickwick Theatre, through United Artists release. Johnny’s most recent feature film was Walt Disney’s Napoleon

and Samantha.” The youngster made his professional debut in a TV commercial shortly after he turned three, and has been busy ever since. He brings to his work a natural poise lacking in many adult and most child actors, plus a professional cool born of long experience and theatrical discipline. After doing commercials he became a regular on “General Hospital,” and guested on such shows as “Bonanza,” “Gunsmoke,” “Lancer,” and “The Virginian,” “Green Acres” and “Bewitched.” In 1966 he made his motion picture debut in UA’s “The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Craning,” at which time he met Brian Keith, one of the stars of the film, and that resulted in his “Family Affair” TV role.
