The country: blues tunes that fires brought her fame | are still part of her live show. But they're overshadowed by the loud rock that Raitt says has been bottled up inside her for ‘a long time. “It’s a definite rock'n'roll band now,” she said. “The feeling I used to get at the tail end of my set is what I get for the whole set now. Luckily, we're at a time when thecountry is moving toward hard rock, and there are Entertainment - more women in rock who are. ¢ getting successful.

That is, a classie mystery of who- dunit, with a set of suspects and an unknown murderer.” “While mysteries flourish on Broadway and on the best-seller lists, you don't have any on television. I think one reason is that they're extremely hard to do well. Youcan spend a year or so writing a book or a Broad- way play, but you don't have much time for television. I think also the younger wri- ters don't have the tradition or the b d in the mystery form.” But, take heart, mystery fans, for the latest endeavor by the writer-producer team, Rehearsal for Murder, is due Tuesday on ces. Robert Preston stars as a playwright who stages an impromptu play to unravel the myster- ious death of his finance, an actress played by Lynn Red- grave. Levinson and Link, who have been partners since high school, will soon start production on another movie for CBS, this one a love story called Take Your Best Shot. In October they open on Broadway with the musical Merlin. Doug Henning stars ‘as the magician, with Elmer Bernstein as the composer and Don Black as the lyricist. ABC is making a documen- tary on the making of Merlin for showing next season. - Levinson says, “Bill and I have been mystery fans sipce we were kids. We have great affection for the old-fashion- ed thinking man’s mystery.” .Link says, “When we were kids we had two hobbies — mysteries » and’ performing magic. We ‘still do. both. ‘There's a connection because in both you're fooling the, people.” Mien evdinenhy Levinson says, “Making a mystery make sense is ana-. logous to having root canal work. It's like kabuki. It’s ritualized and you have to stick to the ritual. Robert Preston says that you take the audience by the hand and lead them in the wrong dir- ection, all in the name of surprise.” The two authors, however, see a ray of sunshine on the horizon. Levinson says, “You have book stores that sell nothing but mysteries. The biggest best sellers are mys- teries and thrillers: Death ‘Trap is in its fifth year on Broadway. Younger readers now seem to be responding to the early days. of the mys- tery.” “There has been a trend away from the puzzle mys- tery. In England you had a whole class and order.

It’s a tricky thing to do, but it works.” At 57, Steiger, who won an Academy Award for his per- formance in In The Heat of the Night, say there is still one aspect of life that gives him a little trouble. “I hate getting old,’ he said. “I know it’s childish, but I'm envious of younger peo- ple and stupidly bigoted against age.
