Boggle Woman 77 years old and still jiving on the radio answering those letters from old people in a forgotten rest homes who complain of too much iello and not epough privacy And the shopping bag lady who knows the futility of trying to give evidence in a world with a bureauracy that defines evidence in its own terms: And Bobbi Jeanlne the co*cktail lounge organist with a song title for every emotion care about my Tomlin has said and her sympathy is everywhere in these out of kilter skits Her people are funny because they are different be cause they think differently talk differently act differ each one has a grasp on some truth about all of our lives that we know is undeniable Tomlin has built her repertoire of characters from lower America They are poor they are left out they are waitresses and secretaries and housewives Or else they are people of the normal stream of life who have gone wrong somewhere of as Tomlin has described herself 1 Sometimes she misses with a character The shop ping bag lady is not up to usual intelligence rattling on about cracks in the sidewalk representing a cracked world Mom and Dad argue endlessly over sponge cake in a routine which takes a long time to build toward Its one good laugh She also takes us through a long pot smoking episode that is second rank next to the incomparable material perfected by Cheech and Chong And Tomlin in general was not as involved with her materia! last night as she can be Tomlin has been working the sketches nightly for nearly five months and has probably lost some conviction But an evening of mediocre Tomlin is better than an evening with a dozen vacuum packed comics at their best There is still more wit and charm per minute more grace in the languid body more depth in the laughter In addition to everything else Lily Tomlin is one of those special female stage performers who exudes an alluring femininity an indefinable class You get a sudden sensation sitting in front of this lady of being in the presence of a person raised to a strata all her own It may well be as the writer Tom Burke has sug gested that Lily Tomlin is like a pinball machine on tilt She sees things from a co*ckeyed angle none of the rest of us can That is her special gift and our good fortune Blake seeks divorce LOS ANGELES (Reuter) Robert Blake 43 star of the 4 detective television series Baretta has

Iversen turn ed over to Danish television archives After months of cleaning the film re cutting it and finally copying it film technicians were able to make most of the film usable Tribute in cliches LOS ANGELES (AP) In the movies one cliche is worth a thousand pictures March or Die a new rench oreign Legion epic has enough to break a back But all in there on purpose as a tribute to movies of the past says Dick Richards who directed and wrote the story with David Zelag Goodman tried to make the kind of movie I loved when I went on Saturday said Richards wanted Errol lynn and Gary Cooper wrote the story with that in mind Even the music i has a tinge of Richards said March or Die is modelled after such films as Under Two lags and our eathers It stars 4 Gene Hackman Terence Hill Max Von Sydow

comic talent in show business today is the seriousness that lies just beneath every joke She is not simply funny though she proved once again at the Royal Alexander last night just how absurdly ludi crously entertaining she can be She goes beyond mere comedy into a social satire whose wit is finally ob scured by something more important its truth Pacing up and down in the spotlights last night Tomlin known to millions of Laugh in viewers as Ernestine the snorting telephone operator presented her comedy and truth in a liquid smooth one woman show 1 Her concerns are always veiled with the disguises she has developed over 12 years of nightclub and TV work but they are obviously real concerns offered with an acid satire And no matter which character Tomlin portrays there is a consistency of view a ten or of the heart that unites her weirdoes Crystal the militant quadraplegic tours the country in her wheelchair talking with fellow travellers on her CB radio railing against restaurant doors too narrow to admit her chair at minds too small to admit her human needs ortune the All American working girl who has lost her secretarial job sips one co*cktail after another in one lonely bar
