Lily 'chameleon' Tomlin boogies
She might be the greatest female Zelig on
stage. In last night's "Appearing Nightly,"
with a footstool and a platform, an undress
ed stage and a single, simple costume, Lily
Tomlin transformed herself without pause
into a dozen zany characters. And in the
process, she transfixed the near sell-out
Silva Hall audience with her mime and her
movements, her meticulous gestures and
her perceptive, upbeat monolgues.
Tomlin asked only one thing of the people
she entertained for two and a half hours:
"Let me hear you dig down deep and give
me some boogie." Whatever the ineffable
boogie, Tomlin shimmied and shook it from
her rubberband body, and the audience
gave it back to her in a standing ovation.
Tomlin was a hit.
Tomlin's stage warmth is equal to her
ability to create live characters such as Edith
Anne (child visionary), Judith Beasley
(housewife), Crystal (35-year-old
quadriplegic), Fortune Dundy (swinging
single), Rick (a new Tomlin creation who
graduated from Hollywood High, looking to
score), and of course, Ernestine the
telephone operator. Ernestine has been
recently devastated by the AT&T divestiture.
Poor Ernestine needs a new place to work,
i r i a 11
ftr v L . -1 m « v
Tomlin explained in a press conference on
Monday. "It may have to be the Pentagon,
or at least somewhere where she can have
ultimate power. Perhaps the stage."
Her true comic talent aside, Tomlin had
her diverse audience ever in mind. A signer
for the hearing-impaired was on-stage for
the entire performance. In spite of a heavy
gay and femininst following, Tomlin denies

that she has any particular audience. Her
fans, like her characters, are a motley crew.
"Half of them, I imagine," Tomlin says
with a hint of an elfin smile, "would never
be caught dead in the same room together."
They were last night, but alive, living and
belly-laughing.
