4 The DUity Tuf Heel Friday, September 29, 1978 l I 7!J (fBy mam Martim breaks loose on fans in Greensboro Tuesday' CaoBpos CaDeimdair Public service announcements must be turned in at the box outside the DTH offices in the Carolina Union . by 1 p.m. if they are to run the next day. Each item will be run at least twice. - By BUDDY BURNISKE 5 Staff Writer Steve Martin, comedy's "wild and crazy guy," will reveal his unique comical sense and general charm at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 3 in the Greensboro Coliseum. Martin, 3 1, worked as a writer for the Smothers Brothers and later served Sonny and Cher, Glen Campbell, and John Denver in the same capacity. His stint with the Smothers Brothers won him an Emmy Award, but left him with a desire to perform his own -material.-He, began appearing as the opening act on tours like the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the Carpenters in the early '70s. Martin's introduction to show business goes back much farther than his writing days. He grew up in Disneyland, the place he claims made him 'funny. At age 10 he started bicycling the couple of miles from his home in Garden Grove to. pisneyland for work. Martin dressed up as a little kid out of the 1 890s in a bow tie, vest and straw hat to sell guide books or trick ropes in Frontierland. He loved visiting the Golden Horseshoe Revue to watch Wally Boag and his vaudeville revival show. He memorized Boag's act, he said, because there was something "clean" about it. It was full of good jokes and delivery, along with balloon animals serious balloon animals. By the time he was 1 6, Martin had become part of Boag's show, billed as Mouth and Magic. . After eight years of work at Disneyland, Martin entered "Long Beach State University as a philosophy major. He lasted three years, dropping out at age 2). In an interview in Newsweek, Martin disclosed his reasons for quitting school, saying. "I was either going to become a professor of philosophy or a comedian. Then I realized that the only logical thing was comedy because you don't have to explain it or justify it." .' ' , Those who have seen him on the Tonight Show or as a host on Saturday Night Live have only a faint inkling of the insanity Martin is capable of. He's beyond political humor, beyond ethnic humor. He goes back to what original vaudeville must have been like, when comedians were inspired and heedless young men willing to poke fun at anything, deserving or not. .'

Mrs. Wright says it was "a tragic thing to say about one's country, but it was true at the time." The Wrights did not leave the country with the intention of never returning, but as time went on Mrs. Wright says her husband - decided to stay in France because he feh too much racial pressure in America to be , able to say what he wanted to say." Mrs. Wright adds that her husband, had he lived longer, may have wanted to come back to spend his last years in his own country.- "You know Nietzsche said something about always returning to the beginning, and I think to a certain extent this might be true," Mrs. Wright says. As to the possibility of her permanently returning to the United States after 30 years, Mrs. Wright says,"I haven't closed the door to my coming back, but if 1 do it will have to be for a good reason. ; "But I do love to come back at least once a year this is my country I feel my roots here," Mrs. Wright says, Mrs. Wright envisions herself spending one more year clearing up her day-to-day work as a literary agent and in settling her husband's estate before sitting down to map out the formula for a book of her personal memories of her husband. And how does she want people to remember him? T want him to be remembered as a whole person. He was an artist and a militant black writer and those two aspects complemented each other and made the whole Richard Wright." wo V PR0BU UILL YOU DROP THAT FO milWTE I f V4Afl COME HERE.
