WILLIAM EWALD SAYS:
Recording Artists Swear
Allegiance To
By WILLIAM EWALD
UPI Staff Writ.r
NEW YORK i UPI i "You don't
know how I'm looking forward to
my return," said Our Leader
Wednesday, I'm talking, of
course, ubout our real leader
Klvis.
Elvis was just one of a congest
of liege lords who gathered
Wednesday via recorded mes
sages to report to their teen
age vassals and, in turn, swear
allegiance to their master, ABC
TV's Dick Clark. The occasion
was the second anniversary of
Clark's American liandslaad, a
record hop 'JO minutes long and
120 stations wide which ranks as
one of the most powerful enclaves
within these United States.
There is between Clark and his
teen-age subjects an affinity
somewhat comparable to that be
tween mosquitoes and blood. I am
not quite sure who feasts uoon
whom, but the attraction is un
doubtedly there and it has cat-a
pulted Clark into the position of
perhaps the most powerful deejay
in the nation
Wednesday afternoon, the na
tion's singing stars taking note
of the birthday celebration wa
terfalled Clark under with tele
grams. There were billets-doux-or-die
from Jimmie Kodgers, Fats
Domino, the Kingston Trio, Tom
my Sands, Johnny Mathis, Con
nie Francis, Bobby Darrin, Tony
Bennett, the Four Aces, Debbie
Reynolds, the Platters, Patti Page
and just about everyone in the
Madame Tussaud's
There was an in-person appear
ance by Annette Funicello, who,
like Fabian, Elvis and Shake
speare, has reached such a heady
estate in the world that she is
now referred to by a single name
Annette. And there were beeper
conservations with such chieftains
as Duane Eddy, Paul Anka, Fa
bian, Frankie Avalon, Edward
Byrnes and, of course, Elvis.
However, the highlight of the
show may have been a telegram
sent to Clark by Edward Byrnes,
known affectionately, but some
what eccentrically as "Kookie."
I was too astounded to get it all
down, but I seem to recall
phrases like "like your Bandstand
is a big two years . .like this
whole scene is a wig' and it was
signed "The Ginchiest"
Well, like, dad, I don't know.
But like happy birthday from me.
too. And the Ginchiest. At least
I think so.
Tht Channel Swim: CBS-TV will
offer "Christmas At The Circus,"
a one hour big top special from
Miami on Dec. 10 Bill Ham-
merstcin, former straw boss for
Arthur Godfrey, will produce the
show. Ethel Merman will' star in
an NBC-TV Ford Tuesday night
special next season which will
trace Miss Merman's career from
the 1930 "Girl Crazy" to the 11159
'Gypsy'.'

French-Born
Women Think
Cop's A Prude
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif,
i UPI i Two French-born beauties
complaining their arresting officer
was "perhaps a prude," each paid
$25 fines Wednesday for wearing
only the bottom halves of their
bikini swim suits on a public
beach. -
Aurelie' la Mar, 34, and Ilena
Rovira, 32, charged with outrag
ing the public decency, insisted
they could see nothing wrong with
soaking up a little sun with as
much of their bodies as possible.
It is done all the time at French
beaches, complained the women.
Anyway, they said, they had
merely untied the straps to the
tops of their bikinis while, lying
on their stomach so they could
get evenly tanned across the
shoulders
But Police Sgt. Gerald Irwin
disagreed. He said he watched
through binoculars for 30 minutes
while the women were lying on
the beach after their neighbors,
Mr and Mrs. Lawrence Kelly,
complained.
Irwin said at one point during
his observation he saw Miss Ro
vira clean her sun glasses with
the top of her suit while, lying
on her back. And, he observed,
both women were evenly tanned
at spots women usually aren't.
"Alors,'' said Miss La Mar,
"seeing us and being a man, he
must perhaps be a prude to ar
rest us."

'SICK AUDIENCES9 MAKE
SICK COMEDIANS SICKER
By VERNON SCOTT
UPI Staff Writer
HOLLYWOOD IUPD "Sick"
comedians were scrutinized by the
comedy team of Rowan and at
tin Thursday. They decided the
audiences are sicker than the
sickniks.
"It's a cult that's grown up in
a few big cities," Dick Martin
suggested. "Most of the sick com
edians depend on the same people
returning night after night to hear
their gags. The nightclubbers who
follow them around are real ad
dicts." "The sick ones would never be
popular on television," Dan Ro
wan said. "Their material is too
far out."
'That's why they're popular in
clubs," Dick said. "They can get
away with controversial and spicy
jokes with a limited audience and
use terms the average televiewer
doesn't comprehend. ,
Audience Doesn't Understand
"They never get a laugh in real
joints because the audience
doesn't know what they're talking
about.
The comedy team, who appear
in movies, TV and clubs, have no
"sick" routines themselves, but
study the off beat competition
closely.
'Sophisticates or pseudo so
phisticates a.e flattered by the
sickniks because the comedians
throw around psychological terms
and other words that aren't usual
ly identified with entertainers,"
said Dan.
'But even without censorship.
mass audiences would never dig
the humor. In fact, most of the
country would be offended by the
new group."
Sickniks Named
Among the sickniks named by
the boys were Lenny Bruce, Don
Rickles, Shelley Berman and Tom
Lehrer. Mort Sahl, who special

sidered a sicknik by his cohorts.
"Their jokes are based on trag
edy," Rowan went on, "Death, ill-,
nere. religion and such things as
lynchings make up -the subject
matter.
"Shock value is what they're
looking for. And as audiences be
come more and more difficult to
shock, their jokes keep getting -more
and more sick. The laughs
they get are usually somewhat i
nervous."
Rowan and Maioin, who soon
move into the famed Cocoanut
Grove, insist the sickniks must
play small, intimate rooms to be
successful.
Comedians Watch Them
"Comedians like to watch the
sick ones perform," Dick said.
"Most comedians would love to
get away with some of their rou
tines, but television is so closely
censored comedians are limited to
old. dull stuff."
"Right," Dan agreed. "You
cai't hope to be a success on TV
unless you're really mediocre.
There are so many taboos by
pressure groups and siwnsors we
have to stay with bland, innocu
ous material.
"I wish I had a dollar for every
person who has come up to us
after our nightclub act and asked
why we aren't as funny on TV."
"It's not that we use off-color
jokes in clubs," Dick concluded,
"But we can mention a product
or controversial subject without
having to worry about ad agency
guys or network big shots. That's
something the sicknicks never
have to put up with."
