NASHVILLE, TENN. (AP) — Whether you want to sing on the Grand Ole Opry or would be satisfied merely watching others from a front row seat, there’s only one man to see — shy piano player named Hal Durham..

Durham, ‘vice-president and general manager of the Opry, hires the singers and musicians on the famed coun- try music’ show that has never missed a performance in its 57-year history. He's in chargo of ticket sales, too.

Durham, 61, has been Opry general manager since 1974 and handles all his respon- sibilities with a low-key ap-

’ proach that rarely draws

Despite his self-deprecat- ing manner, Durham is the key behind-the-scenes admin- istrator at the show and, therefore, an influential ex-

4 ecutive in the music business.

Since 1925, the Opry has been broadcast on radio st- ation WSM. Despite the De- pression, Second World War and floods that invaded the Grand Ole Opry House eight years ago, the show has gone on as scheduled.

‘The radio audience is esti- mated to be in the millions and those who see the show live average driving 1,600 kil- ometres round trip, The 4,400-seat Opry House draws 900,000 visitors a year.

. Some of the people who at- *

tend the Opry, Durham says, are not even country music fans.

“There is a curiosity. about it. They come to clear up the mystery about it. When they leave, we hope they are

# country music fans.”

from baseball?

Retired basebal hero Mic- key Mantle has joined an Atlantic City, N.J., hotel and casino in a promotional role and says he is willing to dis- associate himself from base- ball if commissioner Bowie Kihn insists.

There was no immediate ruling from Kuhn, who banned ‘another Hall of Famer, Willie Mays, from or-

baseball after Mays entered into a similar deal in

Atlantic City 3% years ago.

Mantle said he received a letter from Kuhn trying to discourage him from taking the job.

“He said, ‘Why couldn't you do like Reggie Jackson and.do a Panasonic commer- cial or like Joe DiMaggio and doa Mr. Coffee commercial?’

Mantle's reply: “I've been out of baseball 14 years and I. don't have Panasonic and Mr. Coffee knocking at my door.”

Long heard the ‘Cheers’

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Instead of lolling on the beach in Barbados, Diane Chambers ended up serving drinks in a Boston bar.

The television character's loss proved to be the audi- ence’s gain. Shelley Long stars in NBC's Cheers as Diane Chambers, a naive Young woman who finds that her college education has left her unprepared for life. The sports-oriented called Cheers is her own school of hard knocks.

“Diane is more intellectual than intelligent,” says Long. “She's had‘ a lot of book learning and now she's séek- ing more universal knowlege in this environment. She's full of inconsistencies. She appears bright and intelli- gent, but usually she doesn't

know what she’s . talking.

about. She's really an over- educated space head.”

Diane is, in fact, quite bright, but what makes her endearing are her futile at- tempts to displsy her intel- lectualism. She is instantly deflated by Carla Tortelli, a worldly-wise cocktail wait- ress played by Rhea Perl- man.

Diane was a teachings as-

show to keep it on, at least until the end of the season.

“The ratings are discour-'

aging,” says Long. “But on. the other hand they’re not

Cheers may be the best new comedy of the year, but the news hasn't reached the audience yet. Cheers is lan- guishing near the bottom of the ratings, but third-place NBC has enough faith in the

COMMUNITY

Like Diane,. Long comes from a teaching background. “Both my parents are tea- chers and I started to become a teacher. Once a teacher, always'a teacher, and once the daughter of teachers al- ways the daughter of tea-

chers. That's still there. Tea- -

chers share. They get people excited about ideas. Acting is similar i Ss the sense that it's sharing.’

Long has also appeared i in summer stock,
