1987 features lively, honest, interesting stories Kaleidoscope By RICHARD LONEY .St'f; Collection Prize Stories: The O.Henry Awards (DOUBLEDAY): $24.95, 274 pp.The 66th volume of the 0.Henry Memorial Award series, edited this year by William Abrahams (co-editor from 1964-66, editor since 1966), contains 19 examples of the alive and flourishing genre, including a Special Award For Continuing Achievement for Joyce Carol Oates, who is represented by a fine story titled “Master Race ’.The winning entry, chosen by Wi-liam Abrahams, is “Kindred Sprits”, a story from Alice Walker, whose The Color Purple was such a celebrated novel that was also filmed to great acclaim (except that director Stephen Spielberg was not nominated for an Academy Award).To the reader’s dismay, the Walker story is perhaps the weakest of the selections in the 1986 retrospective, leading to speculation that the publishing industry likes to flaunt the wares of a “hot" artist just as the more flashy entertainment areas of rock music and film often do.Far more interesting are stories by Bobbie Ann Mason, “Big Bertha Stories” about a hard-drinking strip-miner’s family near Central OOJKKWrSOJSTtNOUlSHf L) ANNUAL llTFRAHY fcVUNi COnfrO AND WITH AN WTHfXIUCIION BY Will (AM AbHAt WAS PRIZE STORIES (XHEXRY AWARDS City, Kentucky, which is disintegrating due to Donald’s persistent drinking-and his being haunted by the horrors of Viet Nam — which carry over into the bedtime stories that he fashions for his son Rodney, in which Big Bertha becomes a created persona that represents “the echoes of his father’s nightmare, like TV cartoon versions of Donald’s memories of the war”; or a story by Jeanne Wilmot, a New York City writer who grew up in Kansas City, which is called “Dirt Angel”.Wilmot’s focus is the street people, or rather the subterranean people who live and die in the Big Apple every day, and this tale of violence, depravity and squalor concludes with an emotional rendezvous beneath the city streets in a wretched warren where a girl named Pandy hangs herself, after discovering the inevitable truth about the baby she has borne in spite of her habitual shooting of heroin into her and the baby’s veins.Many of the stories in the O.Henry collection are vivid evocations of youth and of growing up in America, such as “Kid MacArthur”, Stephanie Vaughn’s rich study of the American army/guns/killing syndrome which is currently popular on the heels of the Rambo style films.The narrator, the sister of the boy named MacArthur, documents the lifestyle led by a father who sounds like Pat Conroy’s The Great Santini personified, and the manner in which the “Kid” ends up, like many thousands of his generation, in the rice-paddies of Viet Nam, only to return to the United States as a haunted, zombie-like creature who moves from odd job to odd job, with most of his future prospects as blighted and frighte- ning as the severed ear that his pal Dixon has sent to him as a Christmas present.The horrible memento mori becomes something that the sister is only able to escape when she sells her brother’s car, with the withered ear lodged beneath the front seat.Stories both conventional and unconventional are represented, with one of the best of the latter type to be found in Irvin Faust’s "The Year of the Hot Jock”, a breezy, colloquial monologue by Pablo Dega, a Panamanian immigrant to the States whose success on American racetracks as a jockey rivals that of riders such as Willie Shoemaker.Pablo is a much-travelled, ever-celebrated, woman’s man who lays out his life for the reader in a non-stop confession that only ceases when the horse he is riding to the finish line takes a forward plunge and pitches Pablo into a life-ending crunch into the track.Gathered from journals, magazines and periodicals, the stories that are considered for the O.Henry Award have appeared in The New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, The Virginia Quarterly Review, Esquire, The Partisan Review, and The Ontario Review, to name a few of the sources.Such lively, honest, and interesting stories as can be found here are proof that not all of the writers in North America are obsessed with grinding out abysmally dull treatises about how hard it is to write this story, and other examples of the “look at me I am actually a writer” syndrome, which unfortunately flourish and are given encouragement by the Canadian university community.The Steve Miller Band LIVING IN THE 20TH CENTURY (CAPITOL) On most Steve Miller albums there are one or two tracks that make it into the hallowed ground of airplay, and for the rest, well blahhh.But Steve gets over this bugbear with the release of LIVING IN THE 20TH CENTURY, which can be nothing but a large improvement over the fortunes of his last, ITALIAN X-RAYS, which sunk into the vinyl ocean with scarcely a ripple of interest.How Steve does it is by dedicating his album to the memory of early blues belter Jimmy Reed, and utilizing most of side two to highlight some of Reed’s most covered and remembered songs.He kicks off with “I Wanna Be Loved (But By Only You)”, and then launches into “My Babe”, which was actually written by Willie Dixon, and also covered by Rick Nelson in a somewhat sanetized version in the late fifties (Willie’s line was “When she’s hot there ain’t no coolin’’, which Rick cleaned up to “When she’s around she’s so darn cool an’”.Another tune in the same mood as that one is “Big Boss Man”, a song that Elvis cove- red in his Singer Special from 1968.Steve Miller shows his obvious respect for the memory of Jimmy Reed in the way that he plays lead and sings on “Caress Me Baby”, and on “Ain’t That Lovin’ You Baby”, a tune recorded by Elvis, the Youngbloods and legions of other rockers.And even if the Reed tributes were not as tight as they are here, there are already signs that this record will be big for little Steven, as “I Want To Make The World Turn Around” from side one, has already been receiving hot video play.The other two tracks on side one are the title song, plus one called “Nobody But You Baby”, plus a couple of instrumentals wedged in, “Slinky”, and “Maelstrom” which provide musical documentation of Steve Miller’s passion for the music of Jimmy Reed.With his 17th Capitol album, Steve Miller seems to have found the antidote to those lazy-filler weaknesses that sabotaged a few of his records, with this bluesy album that celebrates one of rock’s minor influences in a major way.GREETINGS FROM TIMBUK 3 (I.R.S.-MCA) Pat MacDonald and his lady Barbara K.comprise the new wavy duet that is Timbuk 3, and their spirited, up-tempoed album contains clever tunes such as “The Futures So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades” and the innane “Facts About Cats”.MacDonald’s delivery on the songs he sings is a throwback to the folky things by people like Eric Anderson or Tim Hardin, while the instrumentation features acoustic guitars, lots of harp, folky bass, and Pat and Barbara locked into close vocal harmonies.Rock and folk roots vie for domination with Timbuk 3, as “Hairstyles and Attitudes” employs a variation on the old Bo Diddley riff for its effect, while Barbara’s vocal on “Facts About Cats” sounds like something that Joni Mitchell would have been comfortable singing.Another strong example of the 60’s influence which appears pervasive in some areas of rock, Timbuk 3 is an ensemble that should be heard from again in 1987.VIDEO SCREENINGS LETTER TO BREZHNEV (KARL-LORIMAR VIDEO) This gritty little movie set in post-Beatles Liverpool, England is an example of taking a cliche and turning it inside out.Everyone is familiar with the stories of ship-weary sailors getting to port and looking for action, but in LETTER TO BREZHNEV the two sailors, Peter and Sergei, are not the focus of the film at all.Instead, a couple of tough-talking Liverpool “birds” from the suburb of Kirkby, one a flashy blonde who works in a chicken processing plant all day long, taking the giblets out of chickens, stuffing them into little bags and jamming them back up the chickens’ hind ends ; the other a 22 year old girl on welfare, set out to gain the attentions of the innocent pair of Soviet sailors that they encounter at a disco bar.Having just stolen a man’s wallet on a lark, the two girls are ripe for an evening’s entertainment, and the blowsy, slangy “scouse” accents of the girls recall the strange lingo spoken by the early Beatles.Elaine Spencer, the unemployed brunette played by Alexandra Pigg, falls for Peter, while the gaudy Theresa,

Players’ Club at Bishop’s College School performs the ever-popular Gilbert and Sullivan operetta next week, the programs will read The Slave of Duty instead of the more familiar title, The Pirates of Penzance.There’s a reason for this, but director Lewis Evans doesn’t want to divulge it before the performance.In fact, he’s being pretty secretive about the whole production.The story, as it was originally staged in 1879, has gone through some changes under the guidance of the Players’ Club.But Evans would rather remain vague about those changes.You'll still recognize the story of Frederic, the pirate’s apprentice who wants to return to an honest life, but certain elements have been adapted to the time and place.“It’s an unusual concept with a delicious local flavor,” Evans teases.“It’s appropriate to the community.” A cast of 34, a seven-piece orchestra and crew of about seven have been rehearsing since last October for this gala production, being performed on the BCS stage next Tuesday through Sunday.CONSTRICTED AREA True to the BCS tradition of recent years, both the actors and the audience are located on the 60- by 20-foot stage at the end of the gym nasium.The actors are working in a fairly constricted area, but the audience is small and at an intimate distance.The set, well, to describe it would give too much away.As for the costumes, says Lewis, “our costumes take all the romance out of Gilbert and Sullivan.” The Players’ Club usually does at least one major theatrical pro- PHOTO/BCS ARCHIVES A 1939 production of the Pirates featured boys playing all the female parts.«Sâi The Slave of Duty is, among other things, a love story with Geoff Belisle and Leonor Mowry in the romantic roles of Frederic and Mabel.duction a year, but this is somewhat more ambitious than other year’s productions, says Evans, involving more actors and, for a change, staff members.Ten staff members make up the inept police force.Not only is the lively play perfect for students, but it’s also a suitable choice for the school’s 150th anniversary year, says Evans.“It’s an excellent play because it cashes in on our main resources.” he says, “which are youth, energy, imagination and concentration.“It's an absolutely ideal production for the 150th year because it's upbeat and lively,” he adds.REHEARSE CONSTANTLY As opening night approaches, rehearsals have just about taken over the lives of those involved, says Evans.Now the participating staff members regard their classes as interrupting the rehearsals, rather than vice versa.The students involved are devoting their spare time to the production.That’s on top of being required to take part in sports and cadets, besides classes.“All of these kids are the super-involved," says Evans, many of them taking part in the choir as well.The creative minds behind this adaptation of the Pirates are those of director Evans; musical directors David Dutton and Dorothy Hewson; Gaston Côté, who arran- ged the music for a small orchestra; and Margaret McGregor in charge of costumes.Pirates has been performed many times by area schools and drama clubs over the years.The director of development at BCS and me m ber of the cast, B rad M itchell, pointed out the historical importance of this production, saying two of the directors' fathers worked together on the very same production back in 1969 with the Lennoxville Players.Lewis Evans.Sr.and Harry Dutton collaborated on many Gilbert and Sullivan productions over the years.Evans was involved in earlier BCS productions of the Pirates.The play was performed at BCS in 1939, 1946 and 1957.As it was a boys' only school in those years, this is the first time there have been girls to play the female parts.The Slave of Duty is being performed Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m.and Friday at 1 p.m.Tickets are $4 and may be reserved by calling John Strickland at (819) 566-0227.(Note that seating is limited.)

Karen's newfound tenderness for Montreal represents an abrupt turnaround.He abandoned the city as a brash 16-year-old determined to make it as a singer south of the border.“After I started writing songs and lyrics at the age of 11, there was nothing else for me,” Karen recalled.“I couldn’t wait to get out of Montreal.” He cut a couple of records that didn't go far.Then his manager got him a club date in Atlantic City where rock entrepreneur Don Kir-shner spotted the young singer.“He said: ‘I’m Neil Sedaka’s manager.Come to New York and we’ll do wonderful things’.” Karen went, but the wonderful things weren’t immediately forthcoming."By the age of 18,1 had experienced failure in the music business and had not a penny to my name.” So Karen ended up in Kirshner's stable of songwriters until the day hewas invited to sing a jingle.“Since then.I’ve done an average of 500 or 600 spots a year.” IT’S A RIOT He hummed a few bars of the music for a Sure deodorant commercial."This is what I’ve done for 20 years.Isn’t that a riot?” At least it’s been a profitable riot.His annual income is easily in the six-figure range.To boot, he has won a fistful of awards, including five consecutive prizes as New York’s most valuable male studio singer.Then two years ago, following the end of a longstanding relationship, Karen decided to return home.“I had tried to negate any ties to my youth, but I needed to remember.He revisted his childhood stomping grounds, a now trendy street in the swank, central neighborhood of Outremont.The street’s transformation “gives me a tremendous amount of hope for the city, and I would like to be part of it.” So he hired a private tutor to learn French, began coming back here more often and wrote his song, simply called Montreal.“It’s funny doing jingles.You hide behind a piece of glass in the studio and nobody knows who you are,” he explained.“But I believe in this song.It’s very much autobiographical .This is kind of like coming out.” DRIVING SCHOOL recN/cm Integrity Innovation Excellence There'll be a day when everyone will have the proper TECNICm ENGLISH COURSES starting: Monday, January 19th at 7:00 p.m.registration: 564-1434 The Professionals of driving education in Quebec Ov«r 40 branch*» In Quabec to »arwa you bottar eg iinlf It’s painless and.Please give blood ;

Music Anyone who loves the saxophone and the many styles of music it can be used to perform will be interested in a concert taking place this Saturday night at the Centennial Theatre in Lennoxville.Starting at 8:30 p.m.the Gerald Danovitch Saxophone Quartet of Montreal will present a concert that includes jazz, ragtime, classical and Quebec folk music.According to Danovitch, people are still confused about what to expect from the saxophone.Often they wrongly associate it inextricably with jazz, he says, and he hopes his quartet is helping to break down this misconception.If you’re game to find out what the saxophone really can do, you can reserve your tickets by calling the box office at (819) 563-4966.A mixed program for flute, piano and other instruments is planned for next Friday, Jan.30, at Centennial when Bishop’s University faculty artists play as part of the Musique Chez Nous series.That concert’s at 8:30 p.m.and tickets for this are also available at the box office.This is really the week for saxophone enthusiasts, because in Cowansville the quartet 4 Fois Sax is playing next Saturday, the 31st, at the Ste-Rose de Lima Church.This, like the Gerald Danovitch concert, is a mixed bag of musical styles, including classical, popular, ragtime and jazz.To make reservations for this concert, starting at 8 p.m., call one of these number: (514) 263-6666, 263-6464 or 538-2184.Monday night at the Pollack Concert Hall, 555 Sherbrooke St.W.in Montreal, you can hear a concert by pianist Chia Chou, the winner of the 1981 Sydney International Piano

region.Here’s what I Gerald Danovitch brings his saxophone quartet to the Centennial Theatre this Saturday night at H:30 p.m.See Music column.mk I By Laurel Sherrer hope is a fairly complete list:

tell the story of one of the pilots responsible for dropping the first atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki during the Second World War.Apparently — and this is based on a true story — he suffered anguish over the deed ever after and went to great lengths to convince people of the wrongness of the event.Little Boy is being performed tonight and Saturday at midnight.Tickets are $12 and can be purchased at the Cultural Centre box office.The Mackinaw Folkloric Group, coming to the Salle Maurice O'Bready (same location as the above event) next Wednesday, combines music, dance and theatre in a

the Lennoxville community.This operetta will be performed next Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8 p.m.and Friday at 1 p.m.Tickets, for $4, may be reserved by calling James Strickland at

paper to enhance the textural relationships of the reliefs.The Horace Gallery in Sherbrooke continues to display work by Pierre Lamarche,Guy Lapointe and Arthur Munk in one room, while the other room of the gallery features Paysages d’eau by Daniel Roy.Lorraine Simms’ recent work, exhibited in the main hall of the University of Sherbrooke’s Cultural Centre, examines the effect of social conditioning on people, especially woman.Her paintings are largely figurative, but in her latest work she often juxtaposes abstract elements with familiar subjects to express a more emotive response to the image portrayed.The adjoining gallery features work by Quebec sculptors Sylvie Gagné, Christiane Gauthier, Jacek Janurskiewicz and Yvon Proulx.This is an exhibition on loan from the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art, entitled Objets d'inédit.This exhibition, and the one above, continue until Feb.8.In the same building, the foyer of the Salle Maurice O’Bready has assemblages by Ola Van

where Sherbrooke and area dwellers can tune in and see their friends and neighbors chit-chatting about issues that concern them, has at least four exciting guests lined up for next week (not to mention the exciting hosts, Jane Gyorgy and Laurelsherrer).Paul Lecours, a travel agent, will be there to talk about the does and don’ts of choosing a travel destination this winter.Greg Tuck, the Piggery theatre’s new artistic director, will be there to talk about the coming season.Pianist and harpsichordist Mary OKeeffe will be on hand to talk about a concert coming up at Bishop’s

at both the Cinema Princess in Cowansville and the Merrill’s Showplace Cinemas in Newport, Vt.This is the story of a group of foreigners who are convinced a Los Angeles social worker (Eddy Murphy) is the one chosen to save a thousand future generations, by rescuing a child with special powers (the golden child) from the forces of evil which have kidnapped him.“It involves him in a fantastic odyssey that sweeps him from southern California to remotest China, and on to the gates of Hell and the very edge of infinity,” reads the press package about the film.In Cowansville.The Golden Child is playing nightly at 9 p.m.after Clue, the movie based on the popular board game, at 7:15.At Merrill’s the times were still subject to change when I called, so if you want to see The Golden Child, you’ll have to give the recorded message a ding at (802) 334-6830.The same goes for Crocodile Dundee, The Morning After and An American Tail, also playing at Merrill’s.Crocodile Dundee is the story of a rugged crocodile hunter from the Australian outback who allegedly barely survived a close encounter with a croc.A lovely female journalist who treks out into the wilds to interview him decides it would make a better ending to her story if she introduced him to “civilization” in the form of New York City, no less.This of course is where the real test of survival starts for the outdoorsman.The Morning After is a thriller starring Jane Fonda as a fading movie star with a serious drinking problem.Jeff Bridges plays a world-weary policeman who helps her when, after a blackout, she wakes up one morning in a strange bed beside a stranger with a knife through his heart.At the Capitol Theatre in Sherbrooke the movie this week is The Three Amigos, a rather amusing tale of three silent movie stars mistaken for real-life héros.This stars Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short, and it’s playing at 7 and 9 nightly as well as 1 p.m.both Sunday and Tuesday.The Cinémas Unis at the Carrefour de l’Estrie shopping centre in Sherbrooke has Critical Condition once again this week.This stars Richard Pryor as some guy who tries to masquerade as a doctor with predictably disastrous results.Critical Condition plays at 7:30 and 9:45 nightly with matinees Saturday and Sunday at 12:45, 2:50 and 5:10.The Maison du Cinéma in Sherbrooke has one English film this week—with French sub-titles, but I’m sure we can live with that.Desert Bloom is about a family wracked by personal problems as well as the pervasive fear of atomic WHAT’S ON Lost Empires premieres on Vermont ETV’s

Theatre School after four of its students flung human excrement at an audience.Gustav Bjorkstrand told a news conference he will recommend that Rector Outi Nyytaja’s resignation be accepted and that two of her colleagues be removed.The incident occurred in the city of Oulu last Saturday.Four male students stormed onto the stage after telling theatre staff they were going to perform a piece of their own, titled Theatre of God.They stripped naked and sprayed the audience with a fire extinguisher and pelted it with eggs, smoke bombs and human excrement.They then drove the public out of the theatre with homemade whips and were arrested.LONDON (Reuter) — London’s Royal Court Theatre has cancelled its production of a play alleging Zionist leaders collaborated with Nazis in the murder of Jews during the Second World War.The planned staging of Perdition by left-wing writer Jim Allen provoked angry protests from historians and the British Jewish community.Historians consulted by the Royal Court said the script is riddled with inaccuracies.Martin Gilbert, official biogra- pher of Winston Churchill and author of a 900-page history of the Holocaust published two months ago, said the play contains distortions and is “deeply anti-Semitic.” Announcing the cancellation Wednesday on the eve of the play’s first preview performance, Royal Court artistic director Max Staf-ford-Clark said : “We have re-examined our position in the light of the representations made to us and we do not accept that there are factual inaccuracies in Jim Allen’s play or that the play is in any way anti-Semitic.“But we do accept that going ahead would cause great distress to sections of the community which finally outweighs our determination to proceed with the production.” Perdition tells of a fictional libel trial set in Britain in 1967 but is based on a libel case tried in an Israeli court in 1954, which set off a debate about the role of Jewish leaders in wartime Hungary.ROCHESTER, N.Y.(AP) — “In dulldom there is no better man,” said International Dull Folks, Unlimited, in naming talk show host David Letterman the dullest American of 1986.“What more can be said of a TV host who can’t get on the air until after midnight and whose schtick is a stupid pet trick?” J.D.Stewart, chairman of the bored for the Rochester-based group, said Tuesday.Second on the top-10 list was Sam Walton of Bentonville, Ark., the founder and owner of the Wal-Mart store chain.Advice columnist Ann Landers finished third and network news anchor Tom Brokaw was fourth, just ahead of comedian Pee Wee Herman, television producer Aaron Spelling and comic strip character Beetle Bailey.NASHVILLE, Tenn.(AP) — Singer-songwriter Lionel Richie and veteran vocalist Eddy Arnold shared the spotlight at the seventh annual, fan-voted National Songwriter Awards.Richie’s Say You, Say Me from the motion picture White Nights was chosen movie song of the year Tuesday night.Arnold, 68, received a standing ovation and burst into tears during his acceptance speech for the President’s Award, a special honor for selling 80 million records in a singing career spanning more than 40 years.“Stars don’t make songs hits.Song hits make stars,” said Arnold, whose hits include Make the World Go Away and Any Time.MONTREAL (CP) — Polish film-goers will be treated to a week-long festival of Quebec films in Warsaw starting, the provincial film agency Société generale du cinema has announced.Leading the list are two children’s films by producer Rock Demers, The Dog Who Stopped the War and The Peanut Butter Solution, as well as the world premiere of Francois Labonte’s Henri, which opens in Montreal on Jan.28.Others to be shown include two films by Lea Pool, Anne Trister and La femme de l’hotel, Yves Si-moneau’s thriller Pouvoir intime, Francis Mankiewicz’s classic Les bons débarras and Jean-Claude Labrecque’s Les années de reve.Also included in the program is Kamouraska by Claude Jutras, one of Quebec’s leading filmmakers who disappeared from his Montreal home early last November.LOS ANGELES (AP) — Entertainer Dean Martin went home from Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre Tuesday after a severe bout with intestinal flu.Martin, 69, is in good condition, said hospital spokesman Ron Wise.The singer entered the hospital Jan.12.The illness forced him to cancel a week of shows at Bally’s in Las Vegas.JACKSON, Tenn.(AP) — This city will celebrate Carl Perkins Day on Wednesday, the day the rockabilly guitarist is to be inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame in New York.“We again extend gratitude to this extraordinary gentleman who has brought national and international honor to our city,” Mayor Bob Conger said Tuesday in proclaiming the citywide tribute to Perkins.Perkins, 54, a self-taught guitarist with an eighth-grade education, has said he penned his biggest hit, Blue Suede Shoes, on a brown potato sack while he lived in a housing project in Jackson.NASHVILLE, Tenn.(AP) — Grand Ole Opry’s Minnie Pearl says she has “geriatric licence” to make a few colorful remarks, but she doesn’t think her late mother would have approved of her humor.“Mama probably would have rapped my knuckles a few times at some of the innuendos I make during my act,” said the 74-year-old entertainer known for her hat with dangling price tag, hayseed humor and her “How-dee” greeting.Pearl, whose real name is Sarah Cannon, recalled in her regular Monday column in the Nashville Banner that one of her sisters sang a popular 1920s song, Last Night on the Back Porch (I Loved You Best of All), before her mother.“Mama frowned upon the reference to the ‘back’ porch, likening it, I suppose, to the back seat,” she said.“I don’t know why she thought ‘it’ was more apt to happen on the back porch than the front or side.If I remember correctly, it could happen almost anywhere.” 10—TOWNSHIPS WEEK-FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1987 1-___faiJ record Travel Want to see New York?Stay off the beaten track By Calvin Woodward NEW YORK (CP) — Tourists in New York have been known to visit the World Trade Centre’s 107th-floor observation deck in a thick fog, plunking down $2.95 for a view of the end of their noses.Some have spent the day walking along Avenue of the Americas, missing more absorbing nearby streets because of their reluctance to venture off a familiar path.Still others have wandered around midtown Manhattan at night, looking in vain for signs of life.In a city where a single museum can occupy a visitor for a full day, weeding out the merely interesting from New York’s garden of fasci- nations can be tricky.One preliminary step might be to dip into the vast collection of books giving advice on the city.The Michelin guide is among the most comprehensive for general attractions.It has maps, historical perspective and suggestions on how to organize the day.GIVES REVIEWS The New Yorker and New York magazines contain capsule theatre reviews and listings of concerts, exhibitions and other events.The 1986 Zagat Restaurant Survey has demanding standards for its ratings of thousands of restaurants and is cross-referenced for best bargains, best decor, best by district, food type and so on.Palate faces paradise or prison in Big Apple By Calvin Woodward NEW YORK (CP) — Isn’t it about time you treated yourself to a “symphonic” slice of tomato?If a New York visit is in your plans and you have something special to celebrate — say, the winning of a Nobel prize — consider dining at the Quilted Giraffe at 955 Second Ave.A minimum of $75 a person, before wine and tip, will buy a fancy scoff at the restaurant, rated among the top five in New York by local and out-of-town critics.The New York Times has given it four stars, meaning “extraordinary” — also meaning reservations must be made weeks in advance.This place can do more than make tomato spiced with basil put your taste buds in the mood of Beethoven’s Ninth.The mushroom and truffle soup, rhapsodized The Times, “suffused our corner of the dining room with the aroma of autumn in a dew-moistened forest.” Yikes! The cost of one meal at the Quilted Giraffe would feed a convention at the $1.25-a-slice pizzerias around the city.Chances are that you’ll want to try something in the vast range between top-rated bargains like Pizza Piazza and top-rated bud-get-crunchers like Lutece, the Four Seasons or An American Place.Although selecting a restaurant by impulse is risky, New York critics agree that SoHo and Greenwich Village are the best parts of Manhattan for visitors who don’t want to make dining out a research project.The attractive Upper West Side, from 60th Street north, is the worst for dining, critic Mollie O’Neill of New York Newsday said in an interview.“It’s really the pits — trendy, loud, overpriced and pretty terrible food.If you’re in the Upper West Side, go to Zabar’s (2245 Broadway at 80th Street), buy some smoked fish and make yourself a little picnic.” O’Neill’s favorites include the Union Square Cafe in Greenwich Village — “young hearted, a terrific wine list and fairly priced for simple French and Italian" — and Chanterelle at 89 Grand St.in SoHo, both praised by several other critics.Chanterelle has fixed prices of $58 and $80 a person.OFFERS GAMBLE The Broadway theatre district is more of a gamble, but places recommended by several critics ! include Lattanzi for a unique Ro-man-Jewish menu after 8 p.m., r Orso for moderately priced Italian, and Carolina for southern food.All are along the 300 block of West 46th St.The elegant and expensive French restaurant Aurora at 60 East 49th St., meanwhile, is considered one of the brightest new stars in New York.However, glamorous surroun- i dings are hardly a guarantee of quality and some of the restaurant names most recognizable to visitors make local critics see red.That’s why it’s worth while to come armed with a reputable, up-to-date guide such as The New York Times Guide to Restaurants in New York City, available in February; or the 1987 Zagat restaurant survey, based on the opinions of more than 1,500 participants who eat out more than three times a week.New York’s Dining, an annual magazine, reproduces the menus of 150 top restaurants and gives brief, mostly uncritical descriptions.Gault Millau’s The Best of New York provides more elaborate descriptions and spicier irreverence on restaurants and nightspots, and is helpful for its breakdown of shopping bargains and hotel reviews.The revised edition of this prominently displayed book is nearly three years old and, in nightlife years, that’s an eternity.Lacking any mention of today’s popular discos like the Palladium or the Limelight, it would steer club-goers to the likes of the passe Studio 54.As for most clubs, Limelight owner Peter Gatien advises that the nights of cavalier entry policies — when doormen would custom-build a hip, beautiful crowd from among the panting throngs outside — are gone.Now, says the Cornwall, Ont., native, just about everyone rates entry, except “medallion men with white shoes and a white belt — 10-year-old polyester.” NEEDS PLANNING Walking around New York is entertainment in itself, but even this merits some planning.Fifth Avenue, from 42nd Street north to the stunning Metropolitan Museum of Art at 80th Street, is lined with glittering, famous stores and glittering people who look like they should be famous.Two blocks over, Park Avenue holds similar enticements, but Madison Avenue, between Fifth and Park, lacks the same glamor.A similiar walk on the West Side begins with an explosion of neon, bustle and sleaze at Times Square, followed by 20 less interesting blocks to the north.Then comes the Lincoln Centre and Metropolitan Opera House and the beginning of the genteel Upper West Side, with its beckoning architecture and peaceful feeling of elbow-room.One of the best crosstown streets for shops, art galleries and architecture is 57th Street.If time is short, consider skipping the midtown quadrant south of 42nd Street and west of Fifth Avenue, unless a trip up the Empire State Building or a visit to Ma-cy’s is on your must-do list.BIGGER SAVINGS CLEARWATER - Condos 99 from W w quad Sandcastle 1, car included with unlimited mileage.Includes return airfare from Dorval.Dep.Jan.31 - Apr.19 $7i 2 weeks E 99 from ¦ W quad BAHAMAS (West End) Jack Tar Village (Garden Rooms) Feb.1 to Apr.19, 1987 1 week $919 2 weeks $1499 Ask about similar values from Feb.1 - Apr.19 * ALL MEALS INCLUDED * * INCLUDES MANY SPORTS ACTIVITIES * PRICE INCLUDES: Return airfare from Mirabel, transfers, and accommodation.DOMINICAN REPUBLIC Bavaro Beach — Jan.30 to Apr.19 *799 *1249 1 week from 2 weeks from * INCLUDES 2 MEALS DAILY * * INCLUDES MANY SPORTS ACTIVITIES * With every purchase of Voyageur Travel Insurance RECEIVE OUR COMPLIMENTARY TRAVEL GUARANTEE Default protection.and more.exclusively at Sears Travel Service Treasure fours* CPAirHolidays .we re (he ones to go wilh!
