NASHVILLE, TENN.
(AP) — Bubbly Barbara
Mandrell is proud of her
trailblazing television show
that earned her the nickname
Mighty Mouse.

The irrepressible Man-
drell, and hitching sisters
Louise and Irlene, are stars
of NBC's Barbara Mandrell
and the Mandrell Sisters,
just renewed for the fall
season.

“I feel proud of it,” said
Mandrell, the first country
music singer since Johnny
Cash 10 years ago to play to
host to a network, prime-
time country music-variety
show. “It was a new advent-
ure. I had done a lot of
television, but this was a
whole new game.”

And it may be the first
television show in history to
owe part of its success to a
discount store scribble pad.

“I was keeping long hours
onthe job, and this combined
with singing strained my
throat,” explained Mandrell,
the reigning entertainer of
the year chosen by both the
Country Music Association
and the Academy of Country
Music. :

“I was trying to keep quiet
on the set, but it was frus-
trating because I'm just not
the type of person to sit back.
So I used this little scribble
pad with a cover you lift to
erase what you've written, I
have horrible handwriting,
and I'd try to write fast, and
this made it even worse. That
was more frustrating.”

The strain on her throat
necessitated the constant use
of a voice therapist. And fre-
quent 20-hour days on the set
often sapped her spunk.

But things worked out and
the show sometimes won the
ratings for its early Saturday
evening time slot.

“It was, ‘She's every-
where, she's everywhere,’ ”
Mandrell said with a chuckle
in an early morning inter-
view while sipping coffee in
her home overlooking Old
Nickory Lake north of Nash-
ville.

“The show was honest. It
wasn't perfect and real slick,”
she said. “Perfection doesn’t
make hit records or tele-
vision shows. It was enter-
taining because we had fun.
We loved and admired our
guests and I think that came
across, I had a good time and
so did my sisters and that
was our ticket that helped us.

“I thought of the show as
our weekly visit with every-
body. It’s just the way I've
tried to do my stage shows.

Barbara Mandrell

TV ‘whole new game’

“A lot of people told us
variety shows on television
were dead. After we got
going, people told us how
thrilled they were.”

Mandrell, 2 quietly  reli-
gious and happily married
mother of two, said the show
strengthened the bonds be-
tween her and her sisters,
who were unknown until the
show gave them cherished
exposure,

“Wo wore close growing up
and now we seem clover,” she
said. “This was a cionderful
experience that gave ‘us
everyday time together with
silliness, jokes and teasing.
We kept it fun.

“Before the show, we had
three separate carcers going
and we weren't able to be
together as much as we were
while we were in produc:
tion.”

At any rate, she found
taping a weekly television
show more. of a whirlwind
than singing her hits like
Sleeping Single in a Double
Bed, Married But Not to
Each Other and If Loving
You Is Wrong (I Don't Want
to be Right) before wor-
shipful country music fans.

“{ looked around once and
six people were trying to talk
to me at once,” she recalled.

Subject to some adjust-

during the year amounted to
$6,339 and income was
$4,242. This included a major

investment of $2,487 for .

lighting equipment. These
_ purchases have been possible

due to profits made in pre-

vious years. For the past
year the club has been co-
operating with Rossland
Light Opera Players in a
program to develop adequate
stage lighting resources for
local performances.

The coming year is the
fifth year of operation for
Theatre Unlimited. The pro-
gram of shows for the year
has not been finalized yet.

“The club is strongly consid-

ering the possibility of doing
a Christmas show for the
first time. There would also
be one-act plays for the 1982
West Kootenay Drama Fes-
tival next spring and perhaps
participation in the Winter
Games activities.

As in previous years, it is
expected that there will be at
least one full-length play in
the coming year.

limited members . will be
going to Nelson in the first
