elevator door opened and we both got on and
mechanically faced the front without expression. We
rode six floors in complete silence. The doors opened in
the lobby. We walked off and | said, ‘'.. . baby.’’

Somewhere it is written that no one talks on
elevators. It has nothing to do with belng around
strangers. We talk to one another at football games,
stores, and banks. But the moment several people enter
a little cubicle and the doors close, we all stand there

panel like we are awalting the second coming. ©

It's ridicutous when you think about it. Here we all

have Is when the door opens and someone shouts,”
Coming out, please.’

‘Headin' for Broadway’
‘from 20th Century Fox,
Directed by Joseph
Brooks. Screenplay by Jo-
seph Brooks, Hilary Henkin
and Larry Gross. Starring .
Rex Smith, Terri Treas,
Vivian Reed, and Paul
Carafotes. Rated PG.

“Review

There's an ‘old saying
that goes “there are ten
broken hearts for every
light. on Broadway," and
-the new film by Joseph
Brooks takes a closer look
at four of those intrepid
hearts seeking to put their
names up in those very
same fights.

Very few of these young
people who are ‘Headin’
for Broadway’ will ever
make it, but their stories
often provide some poi-.
gnant human drama, as
backstage ‘musicals from
Busby Berkeley's ‘42nd
Street’ to the recent ‘Chor-
us Line’ have amply-
demonstrated.

As any agent or casting
girector will tell you there
are plenty of talented
people, but very few open-
ings. One would think with
all this constant drama and
trauma of shattered
dreams or in a rare case,
dreams come true, a film
about their stories would
be a winner, as well as give
these kids a genuine op-
portunity to be seen.

Unfortunately the mater-
‘ial is ripe, but the fruit is
rottgn. Like some of the
kid# coming to the Great
White Way, this film
demonstrates quickly that
it has: very little talent, at
least as far as the film-
makers are concerned.
The four wide-eyed young-
sters followed in the film
are appealing and enthu-
siastic if not overwhelming,

snag :

but the material they're
given is: not worth the
efforts.

Joseph Brooks not only
directed the film but co-
authored the screenplay
and composed all the
music as well.. Taken in
order, this'is one df the

. worst directed films of the

year, the screenplay. is
badly paced and predict-
able, and the music is
mediocre and repetitious.

Brooks incessantly keeps
his camera in tight and
suffocates the viewer with
his non-stop close-ups.
Maintaining the camera on
the faces of those waiting
to hear if they have made
the audition is .one way of
creating. drama, but a
better director like Bob
Fosse would draw back for
an overview, and let the
camera make the added
‘comment of just how many
faces each person is up
against.

As Brooks lenses the
young girl from Ohio leav-
ing her boyfriend to head
for New York, this drama-
tic episode has all the
emotional impact of the

young couple in an Ivory -

Soap ‘clean and natural
look’ commercial. Later
on, the same youhg girl
forgets a date with a fellow
aspirant, then rushes to his
mote! room, beds him, and
reveals she is ready to go
away with him. Scriptwise,
it's a totally illogical de-
velopment.

The four unknowns who
play the leads in the film
have no doubt been hoping
this will be their one big
break. In reality, it might
set their careers back by
years despite the fact that
most of them display some
fine talent. As for the film
itself, it will, ironically but
fittingly, not be up on
Broadway or any other

Dear Ann Landers: You seem to be able to come with the
answers to everything, so here is a beauty for you. For over
80 years I have been suffering with a complaint called writer's
cramp. Occasionally I get a relief for a few minutes, and it is
like heaven to be able to write easily and freely.

T have seen‘ several physicians and taken a course in
self-hypnosis, but nothing has helped. It started when I was in
college and has persisted ever since. On a scale of 1 to 10, this
must rate a minus 4— compared to the other things people
complain about — but nevertheless it'is a handicap socially

and in business, and I would

like to get rid of it.

Can your advisors help me? I would happily spend up to
$1,000 if I could write easily again. — E.A.L., Hollywood, Fla.

‘the Waldie's Mill story, I was
one: who benefitted by the
Waldie policy of providing

Your slogan or motto, “Cross-
