Fresh is the name of Sly Stone's latest Epic recording and there's more than good reason for it First off, the music is "fresh," it's new, sparkling, vigorous and shows a complete new side of the enigma that is Sly Stone. Tunes like "Thankful and Thoughtful," "Skin I'm In" and "Frisky" reflect a changing of and with the times. Sly has definitely opened up and cleared out his head this time around. "Lyrically, Sly's personal evolution remains the most important topic on the LP. Songs like "In Time" and "Skin I'm In" lay down, messages we can all relate to. Another tune "I Don't Know (Satisfaction") talks more specifically about the isolation all of us, even stars, can go through. The lyrics move in subtly changing couplets. "All we need is interaction If it's only just a fraction." Sly's evolving head is going rhrmmh some nrettv hlD changes lately as well. With all the assonea ups ana aowns in his more than illustrious career, Of The Entertainment World Barefoot in the Park Being Staged at the Village uirmer ineaire One of the most spectacularly successful comedies in American stage history-BAREFOOT IN THE PARK -is being presented at the Village Dinner Theatre for four weeks beginning July 17 through August 12. BAREFOOT IN THE PARK has been generally acknowledged one of the funniest and one of the most successful stage comedies of our time. For at least the first two years of its run in New York, beginning Oct. 23, 1963, when it was greeted with an overwhelming critical acclaim, it drove audiences to frantic efforts to get tickets to it, with an ardor unseen since the first months of the fabulous run of MY FAIR LADY. By the mid-sixties, Neil Simon was recognized as the funniest man writing for the American stage. It was a reputation achieved with six magnificent Broadway hits in a row, in this order: COME BLOW YOUR HORN; LITTLE ME; BAREFOOT IN THE PARK; THE ODD COUPLE; SWEET CHARITY; and THE STAR SPANGLED GIRL. Neil Simon wrote the book, Burt Bacharach the music and Hal David the lyrics for PROMISES, PROMISES, a smash musical adapted from the Billy Wilder Academy Award winning movie THE APARTMENT, marking the eighth hit out of eight times that Simon has been represented on the stage since COME BLOW YOUR HORN in 1960, and led critics to comment that Broadway was a Neil Simon Festival. At least one Nell Simon "E G O" has spiraled to a creative perspective. Word from the Sly camp is "it's a whole new show. Sty is alright and anyway most of that other jive was just that- jive," ' ikEK Eal T.

Now Simon has THE PRISONER OF SECOND AVENUE, opened Nov. 11, 1971, and THE SUNSHINE BOYS running on Broadway. Even then reviewers noted that the comedy piled "laughs on top of toughs." The only important change from the try-out to the Broadway opening six-months later was to turn the title from the negative-sounding NOBODY LOVES ME to the more provocation BAREFOOT IN THE PARK, a title derived from the heroine's insistence that to walk shoeless through February snow is a test of whether her young, rather proper bridegroom is sufficiently a free, eccentric character to deserve her as a bride. Neil Simon is a droll fellow 1 ,-..lv kae fha cniin OUU Uvl unity lias niv vf BAREFOOT IN THE PARK into a bubbling, rib-tickling comedy but he has also brought off the neat trick of a running gag about walking. Not ordinary walking, you understand-climbing. everyone in hub uu& wum one time or another walk up a stoop and five flights of stairs to reach the door of the skylight pad of a pair of newlyweds. A man who has come to install the telephone is gaspingly astonished but resigned, like a man who knows he must ioiiow nis vocation wherever it calls; a delivery man just writhes in pain, drops his packages and oozes out without a word. The young husband improves on the short breath and staggers with each try. His mother-in-law dodders in with afnnnori uronrinpss The VOUna bride floats in, but she's just enjoyed a party. And a worldly neighbor has several debonair entrances, the last with a stick and broken big toe.

Lee Hendry (Mrs. Banks), Who was here In BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE and PLAZA SUITE will be seen at the Village Dinner Theatre as the young bride's mother, a lady of unshatterable propriety which gets uproariously shattered by her daughter's improbable domestic arrangements. Susan Carroll-the young girl in BUTTERFLIES ARE FKB1S and Glenn James (Corie and Pual Bratter) will be portraying the flighty young bride and her earnestly trying-to-cope young groom, and veteran actor Frank Richmond (Victor Velasco) an aging but stlll-on-the-prowl upstairs neighbor with an Inclination toward exotic food and drink. Jack O'Brien (the Telephone Man) completes the cast who are being rehearsed under the direction of Michael Davidson.

The 23-year-old Milburn, from Southern University, also holds the world record of 13.0 for the 120-yard event. Saying that he did not have jurisdiction in the case, U.S. District Judge Ralph jfcftftman recently dismissed a sM filecf on "hehalf of a 12-year-old Ypsllantic, Mich, girl challenging the legality of the Little League's rule barring f emaes.

"I don't feel any special thrill. It's just a number. The only real one is THE one." Aaron's two-run, 400-foot blast into the left-center field stands came in the third inning on a 1-1 pitch, putting the Braves ahead 4-2. However the Phillies rallied for an 8-4 victory.
