Broadway Is My Beat By Joey Sasso National Black News Service Observations in Covering The Night-Beat: Practicing what he preaches is George Faison, choreographer for the hit musical, “Don’t Bother Me, I Can’t Cope,” at the Edison Theater, will be at Carnegie Hall with his dance company in June on the bill starring entertainer, Josephine Baker.

In conjunction with the release of her new Capitol IP, “I Know I Love Him”, Nancy Wilson journeys to the United Kingdom where she will make several TV and nightclub appearances. Her manager just presented Nancy with a Schick Super II for women shaving system to use in her travels around the world. As we all know hit records are hard to come by and when you have one in your possession we deem it a sin not to take advantage of it. We are speaking about Corinthian Records artist, Al Spaulding, with his release of “I Didn’t Know From the Start” and “Winning On the Losing End.” If you get the chance, run and pick up your copy. Sammy Davis rented out a movie theater the other night to hold a private screening of “Deep Throat” for a horde of his best buddies—including pal Roger Moore. After the show, Sammy toasted the gang with Teacher’s Scotch. In a lighter vein, the June issue of FORUM, the International Journal of Human Relations, explores the sexual excitement some men find in heavy women. “InFATuation, What Makes some Men plump for enormous podgy women.” It’s not usual for a movie director to invest his screen hero with the identical physical handicap that he himself suffers from in real life, but that’s just what Melvin Frank has done with George Segal, who currently co-stars opposite Glenda Jackson in Frank’s new romantic comedy, “A Touch of Class”, a Joseph E. Levine and Brut Presentation for Avco Embassy release. Ever since Ben Vereen copped that Tony Award recently as Broadway’s musical star of the year, he’s been asked by associates and friends if he feels different. “I haven’t noticed anything,” answers the singer-dancer of “Pippin”. He recalls all those medals taken as a quarter-mile champ with the J.H.S. 178 track team over in Brooklyn. “Winning,” he told me, “makes you feel secure-until the next race.” Ben, after a slow start, has been charging up the show-biz heightswith rocket thrust for several years “with my energies flying off the walls.” For a guy out of the Bedfort-Stuyvesant ghetto, the lean and smiling entertainer has STURGIS AND • TIRE REPAIR • MINOR TUNE-UPS • WHEEL BALANCING • MUFFLER SERVICE Brand Name ...

GEORGIA managed to accumulate an impressive galaxy of talent spotters including Martha Graham, Jose Limon, Sammy Davis and, most of all, Bob Fosse. “He’s a beautiful guy who’s been guiding my career all these years even when I didn’t know it,” says Vereen of the latter. Fosse himself won two Tonys as directo. choreographer of “Pippin”, followed by an Oscar for the screen version of “Cabaret”, Friendship didn’t abate Ben’s instinctive overdrive when preparation for his current show began. “I came into the first day of rehearsal like a steam engine. I’d learned steps and hand movements and was all over the place until Bob said, ‘Whoa, wait a minute. I know you want to please me, but just relax.’ And I’m still working on that. “Fosse came back to a recent performance and told me, ‘Lay back, lay back, trust it.’” Which didn’t, of course, prevent Ben from going into a spontaneous jubilation jig of triumph witnessed by millions of TV watchers on the night of the Tony ceremonies. “Man, I made a liar of myself before a national audience,” the 26-year-old dynamo grined,” after having just sung a song about staying cool and enjoying magic. In the show, which is set in the court of Charlemagne, Ben plays a sleek modern interloper to both audience and cast. The whole Vereen career developed accidentally.
