It really goes twice, because the movie is a double feature. Singly and in combination, two pieces are delightful spoofs of films that were popular in the 1930s "when movies were movies." as the savin row 'only they don't show the cood ones anymore, i One is '-Dynamite Hands," which "DYNAMITE HANDS" IS the second feature, even though it comes first, following a brief introduction by George Burns. It was filmed in black-and-white. "Baxter's Beauties." the main event, is a technicolor extravaganza, with sets the size of an airport terminal.

In "Dynamite Hands," Hamlin is a poor boy who wants to become a lawyer. But he's naturally Kitted with his fists, and is lured into a nnq career to make enouuh for. his kid sisler's trip to Vienna BEFORE FORMALLY joining ABT as a member of the corps, Miss Houlton made her debut with the company as a star, dancing the title role in Tetley's Sphinx" in a single preview appearann-ce last April. Miss Houlton. 24.

who is from was in the Stuttgart Ballet from 1975 to 1976. when Tetley was artistic director there, and danced the ''Sphinx" role at Tetley's request. Dancing has been a part of Miss Houlton's life since she was very young. Her mother, choreographer Loyce Houlton. formed the Minnesota Dance Theater in 1862.

and Miss Houlton performed with the Minneapolis company from the beginning. By KARREN MILLS Minneapolis AP) HOURS OF EXERCISE and dancing every day. a vegetarian diet and seven hours of sleep each night have paid off for Lise Houlton, a dancer with the American Ballet Theater. Miss Houlton, who joined ABT last fall, is dancing the female solo in Glen Tetley's new abstract ballet, "Con-tredanses." part of the repertoire in the company's current tour that began early this month. ABT is known for its policy of starting new talent at the bottom, the corps de ballet, but Miss Houlton's career has been an exception from the start.

ML 0 for an eye operation. He deserts his honest manager, Scott, when a gangster type, played by Eli Wallach. promises him quick success. W'allach puts him under pressure to throw his big fight. But he changes his mind, wins the fight, and becomes district attorney in time to prosecute the gangster.

His love life is complicated by an affair with "Troubles" Moran. a night club dancer played in the Harlow tradition by the Broadway star. Ann Reinking. THERE IS LESS ACTION but more sentiment in "Baxter's Beauties" in which Scoot, as Baxter, needs one more hit before he dies to cushion life for the daughter he's not seen since she was 3 years old. Of course she turns up in the chorus in time to save the show when the prima donna is floored by her drinking problem.

Incidentally, Scott has an actor's dream come true two beatific death scenes, one in each segment. "Movie Movie" was produced and directed' by Stanley Donen. who tops Mel Brooks in this case. We only wish there had been a litHe more to his production number at the end of "Baxter's Beauties."

The clever scripts as writen by Larry Gelbart and Sheldon Keller do not hold these memory gems up to ridicule. They are treated fondly, and in good humor.

And the playing by George Scott. Trish Van Devere and others, most of whom appear in both segments, is beautiful. IN FACT, THE CAST of "Baxter's Beauties" includes the screen find of the year Barry Bostwick. who plays the Dick Powell role to Rebecca York's Ruby Keeler. Another stage actor making his movie debut, Harry Hamlin, is very impressive, too, as the reluctant fighter in "Dynamite Hands You don't have to remember all the old cliches to enjoy this program But a nostalgic feeling will help.

The bill is replete with a trailer on the coming -attraction, shown between features, in a which Scott all too briefly impersonates a dashing British ace of World War I. "Zero Hour" is the title, and it promises to show "war at its best." We hope it docs come but first they'll have to make (t. Scott has a great time with his contrasting roles: the veteran fight manager in "Dynamite Hands" and the debonair Broadway producer in "Baxter's Beauties." Miss Van Devere's parts are nicely contrasted, too, if somewhat less flamboyant.

I -SEATS TIMES i I 1 By YARDENA ARAR Hollywood (AP) MCOLKTTE LARSON says the only step she ever took toward becoming a professional singer was. to inwive from her native Kansas City to California. From then on. she says.

"I think it was really a Case of being at the right place at the right time." Now thai may sound like the kind of false modesty 'that looks good in the fan magazines. But when it comes Miss Larson a mere slip of a girl-'next-door with a great smile and dark brown braids down to you know where well, it's hard not to believe. GOOD THINGS have been happening so quickly to this 26-year-old that perhaps she simply hasn't had time to develop a healthy Hollywood ego. Her debut album. "Nieolette." has been out all of four months but is on the Sverge of being certified gold.

Her voice is flooding the airwaves, both on cuts from her own album "Lotta Love" and "Rhumba Girt." to name two and in duets from Neil Young's "Comes -A Time." Within a week of her first live solo performance she was named the top female vocalist of 1978 by Rolling Stone magazine Not bad for someone who says her fondest goal in moving to the West Coast was to sing background harmony and maybe just maybe get to do a road gig with a star. "I DIDN'T really have the goal that I've achieved in mind," says Nieolette. who probably will be going on a tour of her ow by summertime. "I think maybe sometimes if you do have far-reaching goals and if you become obsessed with them, you can miss something that might be right before your eyes ON HER FIRST album, she runs the gamut from the sprightly "Rhumba Girl" to the sentimental "French Waltz," with some country and rhythm and blues thrown in for good measure. There are no Larson tunes on "Nieolette." although, she says of her songwriting, "I'm really working on it." "I just feel it's a little indulgent to put your own material on an album if it's not "the best." 'it WILD GEESE GETAWAY 0OUA MOVIIS TO TOTAL I ALL SCATS $1 .00 fw 470.
