Starting in 1942, he ap peared in more than a dozen shows, including Rosalinda, Catherine Was Great and Bless You All. Nine years later, after four flops in 12 months, he departed for Hol- lywood, lured by the offer of a screen test at Paramount. But Barry never forgot his theatrical roots. Over the years he starred in countless summer stock productions and his own one-man musical revue Barry didn't strike gold until last year when he came back to Broadway in La Cage aux Folles, which turned out to be the season's biggest musical hit. In the show, Barry plays Georges, one half of a homosexual couple confronted with the reality of a son about to marry the daughter of a straight-laced politician. Now Barry is having a second homecoming of sorts. After nearly a year’s run in New York, he’s going back to Los Angeles to star in the West Coast company of La Cage, which opens Sept. 15 at the Pantages Theatre. Barry, 62, sitting in a booth at an expensive New York cafe, still looks debonair, not much older than when he sported the cane and derby on Bat Masterson, one of television's more venerable westerns. And he was in a nostalgic mood, talking about the good times brought about by his appearance in La Cage. For Barry, the decision to MAPLE LEAF TRAVEL For more information call NESTA 365-6616 Open Tews. Pet Wace -4:38 p.m Sesordoy v APPOMTIMENTS APPREC consider La Cage was almost an afterthought. , a In early 1983, the show he wanted to do was Dance A Little Closer, an Alan Jay Lerner-Charles Strouse mu- "sical. Barry told his agent to go after it. “Word came back that it had been cast with Len Car- jou,” Barry ‘said. That was fortunate. Dance A Little Closer waltzed into oblivion after one performance. Within days, his agent had him on track for La Cage. His wife, Betty, and their three children gave their blessings. “I went for the role, and I got it. And I hadn't done an audition for 30 years,” Barry said. From his beginnings in Brooklyn little theatre groups, Barry always wanted to be in show business. No one else in his family was Years earlier, his mother had sung at the Million-Dollar Pier when she was growing up in Atlantic City, but when an agent tried to sign her up andtake her to New York, Barry’s grandmother chased him down the steps with a rolling pin. For Barry it was different “I was more determined, and it was a different time, I was a boy rather than a young girl who had to go off and become a housewife,” he said. “Nothing was going to stop me.” NBC to start on a movie CBS, is taking its first phuinge into featare motiop pictures, although it may be a’ “one- time venture.” Martin Starger will pro- duce Emerald, a Second World War spy thriller star. ring Ed Harris, on location in and around Paris. “It may be a one-time ven ture, or it may not,” said John Agoglia, executive vice president of NBC Produc tions. “We'll move at our own speed.” Jonathan Sanger, who pro duced The Elephant Man and Frances, will make his direc torial debut.

The 42-year-old and author of New Broadway: Theatre Across America, 1930-1980, does not expect to beat his record this year but his enthusiasm for the festival is undimmed. “I like to think that if there is a special heaven for good theatregoers when they die, then it:looks like the Edinburgh Festival,” New York-born Berkowitz said in an ‘interview. Berkowitz is a professor of English and drama at Northern Illinois University in De Kalb, Ill. He attributes his slower pace in the years since 1979 to a “matter of endurance, rather than a lack of enthusiasm.” “The big difference is that I'm getting older,” he said. He had planned to see 70 of more than 900 dramatic events at the festival before he left. “Now, if I'm physically exhausted, I go home,” Berkowitz said. “The other night I stopped at 10 p. could easily have squeezed in two more.” . GETS RECORD The concentration of dramatic offerings at the festival, easily the world’s largest devoted to the arts, is great indeed. There are official events such as Anne Jackson and Eli Wallach in their Broadway show Twice Around the Park, and the New York Negro Ensemble Company's . although I shows. This year, he will be reporting on each of the many fringe Shakespearean productions for the academic publication The Shakespeare Quarterly, that tries to cover every production of the Bard's work performed anywhere in the world. He will also file reports on the 1984 fe: ival for the Theatre Journal and the Tennessee Williams newsletter. VISITS BRITAIN He decided a decade ago to try to spend every summer in Britain, surveying the theatre in London arid in Stratford-on-Avon, as well as here. On a recent month-long stay in London, Berkowitz said he saw every show at the two government subsidi- zed complexes, the National and the Royal Shakespeare Company's Barbican theatres, as well hs all the offerings in the West End, London's Broadway. “It's a rather different matter to see a show on whim for five pounds ($6.50) in London than to see one on whim in New York for $50,” he said, though he usually makes two trips to New York a year for theatre. Shirley's a jazz rapper ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — When Chuck Mangione wrote a song about Academy Award-winning actress Shir- ley MacLaine for his new al bum, he had ho idea she'd ac- tually record it. But she did, laying down a raspy, laughing and obvious- ly impromptu rap over a funky Mangione instrumen. tal ealled Shirley MacLaine, one of seven songs on the LP, Disguise, which was released this month. “She was like a jazz mu sician She has incredible time. Her rhythm was ab- solutely wonderful,” Mangi one said during an interview in his den at Gates Music, Inc. — ‘his hame base, Mangione, 43, first met MacLaine in April after a performance of her one- woman Broadway show. It was the week she cele brated her 50th birthday. “I hid behind her dressing room door, and when she came out I honked “Happy Birthday at ber,” he said. The flugelhornist-compos- er-arranger recorded Shirley MacLaine and was going to have the vocal group, Rare Silk, record some lyrics he had written for it. But he owed them to MacLaine first. “I think the lyrics embar- rassed her,” he said. said MacLaine came to the Manhattan studio with her dwn idea — an upbeat rap she said would lift Mangione’s spirits after the sad song that precedes it: She's Not Mine to Love (No More). “Hey, Chuck!” the rap be- gins. “It's me, Shirley, Mac- Laine, “No Pain’!” Mangione said MacLaine had him rolling on the floor in a fit of laughter, tears streaming from his eyes. “She'll knock your socks off in so many different ways, I can’t tell ya,” he said. The rap took just two takes. Mangione was recently in. terviewed during a break from a.touring schedule that has bin working pine months a year. Though a Grammy Award-winning artist and an international celebrity, Man- gione remains a boy, running Gates Music from an inconspicuous yellow house on the city’s north Mangione’s recording break came in 1970 when he conducted his own composi- tions with the Rochester Philharmonic. In 1976, he won a Grammy for the title track from the LP, Bellavia. He won another Grammy in 1978 for the LP, Children of Sanchez. Disguise is his 19th album but the first he has done with another producer. He said it's the best studio album he's ever done.

Scripts make Hudson sleep LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rock Hudson, who is making features again after a four year absence, says he finds a useful purpose for the scripts that pour in. “They're the best sleeping pill in the world,” the actor said. “And if you can get into the story it doesn't happen until page 25.” Hudson, 68, who had quin- tuple bypass surgery in 1961, made his last film in 1980, The Mirror Crack'd. He re cently completed the movie, The Ambassador. Hudson, who said he feels “better than ever” since his operation, said he's giving himself “a breather. I'm stor- ing up batteries again, till I can plunge in, plunge ahead.” $35 SPECIAL ’- AUG. 31-SEPT.3 Clear and away, Spokane’s luxury value Canadian money at par.
