    The Play Is The Thing Again:RCA Has 'Othello,' Col 'Roses'

    BY DAVE FINKLE(Ed. note: Last week "RecordWorld" examined the potentialBroadway musical caster scene.Events this week have drama-tized the growing importance ofthe spoken word caster. The fol-lowing article explores the devel-opments and potential of thelatter field).

    Acquisition of the recordingrights to two of the most no-table theatrical productions ofthe just -completed season servedlast week to underscore the in-creasing importance the spokenword disk plays in the busi-ness. Activity surrounding thesewing up of such album rightsrecalls the excitement gener-ated when sales potential ofmusical comedy albums wasfirst being exploited.

    The two new acquisitions arethe much acclaimed LaurenceOlivier London production ofShakespeare's "Othello," whichwill come from RCA Red Seal,and the "sleeper" of the Broad-way dramatic season, "TheSubject Was Roses," which willbe a Columbia three -disk re-lease.

    The significance of the"Othello" pacting is in the factthat the rights probably cameextremely high (although theannouncement mentioned nosale price), since bidding onthe rights was reportedly andinevitably very strong. Furthersignificance was added byRCA's Veep and General Man-ager, George R. Marek, in an-nouncing recording plans. Hesaid, "We are proud to be re-leasing it (`Othello') and willwork to see that this is only abeginning of our re-entry intothe dramatic field." The three -LP disk is slated for releasenext month.

    (RCA recorded Olivier anumber of years back doingspeeches from "Hamlet" and"Henry V"-two of Olivier'saccoladed film productions ofShakespeare. Label also re-leased a complete "RichardIII," starring Sir Laurence. Inaddition, John Gielgud recordeda complete "Hamlet" for thelabel and the Old Vic recorded"Macbeth."

    performance and popularity forperipheral reasons spelled initialsuccess for the album, but themarket has even widened moresince then. Recently the JohnGielgud modern dress produc-tion was filmed for wide spreaddistribution by Warner Bros.meaning that many more buy-ers will be exposed to the offer-ing. (There's talk at Col of aone -record "Hamlet"-mainlysoliloquies - to accompany re-lease of the film.)

    Not only the company, butstar Burton must be happy atthese prospects, because theactor has a substantial cut ofthe album and stands to makea tidy sum. The financial boonfor the actor able to commandpercentage of the disk willprobably lure other actors toBroadway and the recordingscene. And, of course, thebigger the names on the pack-age, the better the chance ofbig money sales.

    Col's future activities are in-definite, but there is strongreason to believe that the labelwill tie down rights to ArthurMiller's "After the Fall," withJason Robards Jr., BarbaraLoden and the other LincolnCenter repertory members.

    It was recently announcedthat Carlo Ponti has bought"After the Fall" for filming tostart in 1965 with Sophia Lorenand Paul Newman starred. In

    this case, the added draw ofthe stars might even bringabout a soundtrack version ofthe Miller play.

    It certainly can't be ruledout as unlikely that there willbe a tracker of Col's successful"Who's Afraid of VirginiaWoolf?" package. Although thecast for the upcoming "Woolf"pic has yet to be announced,it's certain that the stars willbe big ones (Bette Davis?) andeven more likely to mean diskboxoffice than the Broadwayversion, with these names addedto the reputation of the Albeeplay and the increased ex-posure. So why not take advan-tage?

    An original cast album of aBroadway musical followed bya soundtrack of its eventualfilm is a matter of course now.Therefore, it's highly possiblethat that pattern will soonbe established for successfulstraight plays as well.

    Soundtracks for films with-out a Broadway cast fore-runner may also become athing. Next month RCA willrelease a one -disk package ofdialogues from the RichardBurton -Peter O'Toole film,"Becket." And it's almost cer-tain that a spoken word album(as well as a musical sound-track) of UA's "Greatest StoryEver Told" will be released.The film is due for Christmas

    opening. And what about some-thing like "Night of theIguana," which features notonly Richard Burton but Deb-orah Kerr's greatly praisedperformance?

    With momentum gaining thereis no stopping the recording ofall types of stage or screenproductions. One area that isyet to be explored (with theexception of Capitol's two "Be-yond the Fringe" disks) iscomedy.

    Humor a ProblemThe prohibitive element so

    far is the visual aspect ofhumor, which though a prob-lem in transferring drama towax, is more easily surmountedthere. Usage of recognizableprop sounds (notice photo fromthe "Roses" session) helps tocreate the atmosphere andstimulate the listener's imagi-nation. And there seems to beless demand for rewrites.Edward Albee, according toColumbia spokesmen, needed tochange very little for the "Vir-ginia Woolf" sessions.

    But it's in rewriting that theanswer to the whole problemlies, and that's probably whatwill be happening shortly. Theopportunities are too good topass up. For instance, it's wellknown that Neil Simon's com-edy smash, "Barefoot in thePark," was offered to manycompanies for recording, butseemed an unwise prospect be-cause of the heavy reliance onvisual humor.

    Nonetheless, comedy writerSimon was also praised for thesteady flow of gags in the play.If he were able to translate thevisual facets of the play intosome kind of auditory equiv-alent, there would be a highlysaleable product. The show'sfame would certainly make itas marketable a product as anyof the dramatic presentationson wax-probably more so ifthe record sales ran in propor-tion to the show's box officereceipts.

    It's reasonable to suspectthat record companies will de-cide to give this rewriting a try(maybe with a hefty fee forthe author's rewrites)-if notwith "Barefoot," with some-thing else. Everything's fairgame.

    Jerry BlaineSets TV Arm

    HOLLYWOOD-Jerry Blaine,President of Cosnat Corp., andPrexy of Cosnat Productions,has greenlighted the establish-ment of a television arm for thedevelopment and filming of tele-vision properties.

    Blaine, who recently com-pleted filming on his initialmotion picture, "The Candidate,"will coordinate all of his filmactivities under direction of pro-ducer Maurice Duke.

    !Mamie Van Doren and JuneWilkinson, who co-star in "Can-didate," have completed record-ings on three Sid Robin songs-two of which "Bikini With NoTop On The Top" and "So WhatElse Is New?"-will be releasednationally via Blaine's JubileeRecords. The third number isthe title song from the "Candi-date" pic and will be distributedsimultaneously with film's re-lease.

    Blaine, meanwhile, has or-dered a first pressing of 25,000records on "Bikini" to meet dis-tributor orders and to cash inon the current "no top" swim-suit craze.

    The Beatles' Hard Day'sNight' An Easy Success

    BY DOUG McCLELLANDOkay, the wiseacres say, the

    United Artists Records sound-track album from "A HardDay's Night" is one of the all-time smashes, and The Beatles'Capitol singles from their firstfeature film are soaring; buthow good can the movie be?

    Very, that's how.The Beatles were unique-

    still are, despite the similarlygimmicky groups that continueto emerge from Britain andother locales-so it is only fit-ting that their movie should beunique, too. Which it is, inspades, a melding of Europe'sNew Wave filmmaking with SamKatzman's quickie Americanfilm production, plus more thana smattering of TV's Huntley -Brinkley Report.

    Virtuoso CameraworkFor here is the gray, often

    dizzyingly virtuoso cameraworkindigenous to nouvelle vagueries ;the let's - get - it - out -before -thesmoke -clears scripting of aKatzman opus; and the expertdocumentary -like reporting ofan H -B effort. Indeed, alongwith the undeniable amiabilityof The Beatles (forgive themfor such recurrent referencesto people as "swine" and"clean"-the later a Liverpud-lian colloquialism?), the majordistinction of "A Hard Day'sNight" as moviemaking is thesuperb pace sustained by direc-tor Richard Lester and thedexterity and flair with which

It's all here on filmfor the ages and incredulousLate, Late Show eyes of theyear 2000.

    The important thing, though,is that the boys seem to beworth all the trouble. John, thefather -image of the group;George, the no -image yet, un-fortunately, but likeably soft -sell nevertheless; and Paul, fullof Irish rebellion and thepranks of the Little People.Ringo, for whom the wordfloppy was invented, who isthe most winning two -leggedlapdog in captivity, deserves atleast a sentence or two of hisawn. He has a wonderful wall-to-wall smile he is too shyabout using, and while every-thing on his face is wrong,somehow it all comes out-Barbra Streisand should for-give me-right. Actually theleast facile actor of the four,he has something innate whichthe other three have to sweatfor: he has the audience withhim regardless. Viewers will letthe others go off and shift forthemselves and miss but hardlyworry about them; but they'renot sure a roaming Ringo willbe safe, Ringo of the childlikefascination for costume jewelryand the quizzical cocked -headlook of a mutt.

    And in "A Hard Day's Night,"which (with probably less plotthan any full-length, allegedly"story" film ever made) detailsa few hours in the lives ofThe Beatles as they preparefor and perform on a TV showin England, audiences shouldworry about Ringo-but notfor long.

    It's The Market, Not The RecordBY TED RANDAL

    If you've talked to a record manufacturer or promotion manrecently you're familiar with his plaintive cry about how badbusiness is. However, in the same complaining breath it is notunlikely that he mentioned his plug record had already sold15,000 in Detroit or some other city of equal importance. Thoughhis sad tale may sound contradictory to the unseasoned ear, let'sface it, the singles record business just "ain't what it usedto be."

    We all know that sales are down. That being the ease, whyis it that certain records seem to sell large amounts consistentlyin some areas? Or are all the fantastic figures we hear nothingbut hypes? In most cases I have found the figures quoted to berelatively accurate, so the key to the inconsistency has to bein the cities themselves. You may be able to get a better pictureof the situation if you will think carefully about the followingtheory:

    The amount of single records sold in any given area isdirectly proportionate to the effort that must be expendedby any one radio station to acquire or keep the dominantratings in that area.

    In other words, in those markets where there is a strong com-petitive struggle between two or more radio stations for thenumber one position, records are still selling well; in less com-petitive markets, single sales have fallen off considerably. Thereason for this is simple. Struggling stations sell records becauserecords are a station's basic weapons. In this battle the one whohas the best weapons and is the most skillful in displaying themto an audience wins their favor. If there is no battle the gladi-ators lose their skill, and the audience loses interest in even theprettiest weapons. What conclusion can be drawn? Start a fight,and you'll sell some records.

    NEW YORK-The reappoint-ment, under a new contract, ofArnold Shaw as General Pro-fessional Manager of Edward B.Marks Music Corp. and itsaffiliated companies has been an-nounced by Herbert E. Marks,President. Shaw has been withthe 70 -year -old BMI pubberysince 1955.

    In the years of his incumbenceas head of the pop department,the firm has acquired a reputa-tion for aggressiveness and ver-satility that has more than keptone of the country's oldest andmost respected companies upamong the leading pop houses.(It currently has a c & w chart -climber in Johnny Cash's diskof "The Ballad of Ira Hayes"and has racked up a total ofmore than 470 different record-ings during the first six monthsof this year). Without losingcontact with the rock 'n' rollmarket - "Tell Laura I LoveHer" was a hit for Ray Peter-son, "`Wonderful! Wonderful !"for the Tymes, and "Hotel Hap-piness" for Brook Benton-Marks Music has been able inthe past three years to makestrong inroads in the show field,television and motion pictures.

    Last year's hits included the"Mondo Cane" Theme, "More,"Academy Award contender, win-ner of a Grammy as the "BestInstrumental Theme" and al-ready established as a standardwith more than 80 different re-corded versions. Two other pic-ture scores handled by Marksin '63 were "Women of theWorld" and Federico Fellini's

    much footage as The Beatlesthemselves. He's a game cootbut also a bit of a forced fruit-cake after a while. The Londonpress compared the lads to TheMarx Brothers in this picture,a not entirely odious compari-son. (And in which case Bram-bell could be called a sort offoil for The Beatles a la Mar-garet Dumont, that grand dow-ager ravaged time after timeby Groucho.) Particularly re-mindful of the Marxes is JohnLennon when, in Groucho-likefashion, he tells a showgirl, "Ican get you on the stage," andshe replies, "Oh, where!", andhe embraces her saying, "Outthis door, turn left . . ." AndRingo, disguised in an over-size, Harpo-like coat, when hetakes it off and drops it overa mud puddle for an approach-ing pretty who smiles grate-fully and, of course, falls inup to her lacquer. There isalso a "silents" type sequence

    This is the picture, too,which asks the question, "Areyou a mod or a rocker?", towhich Ringo answers, "I'm amocker."

    Biggest complaint: TheBeatles' thick Liverpool accentsare hard to understand evenwithout the squealing that issure to accompany showings ofthis Walter Shenson produc-tion for United Artists when itopens in August.

    "A Hard Day's Night," aidedby liberal sprinklings of zestyMcCartney & Lennon -pennedsongs, is a brisk 83 minuteslong, giving adults little timefor criticism of any nature andshould also keep children en-thralled. But it's the teens,mostly, who, in the words ofa suporting player, will find thefilm "fab and all the otherpimply hyperboles."

    Arnold Shaw"81/2," winner of the AcademyAward as "Best Foreign Film."Up-and-coming film scores in-clude "Mondo Cane #2,""Venere Imperiale" (starringGina Lollobrigida and StephenBoyd), "II Pelo Mel Mondo"and "I Malamondo."

    In the TV field, in '63 Markspublished the Kenyon Hopkinsmusic for the award -winningseries "East Side/West Side",starring George C. Scott.Through a deal negotiated byShaw, Marks will also publishand promote the Dave Brubeckmusic for the new Garson Kaninseries "Mr. Broadway."

    The Marks' calendar of fallshow scores includes the Alex-ander Cohen production of"Baker Street," starring IngaSwenson and Fritz Weaver.

  • Col's 'Summer Stock' PromoStars B'way's Jack Cassidy

    By DOUG McCLELLAND

    NEW YORK-Nostalgia is avery merchandiseable commod-ity in show biz nowadays whenmany believe the good old dayswere really the good old days.And singer -actor Jack Cassidyis a major force in the trend.

    Cassidy recently scored onBroadway as the 1930s shopsharpie in the musical "SheLoves Me"; is currently playinga '30s movie idol opposite CarolBurnett in "Fade Out - FadeIn" on Broadway; and ColumbiaRecords has just re -packaged,re -channeled (in stereo) and re-released Cassidy's six speciallyrecorded LP presentations offamous old Broadway shows-most of them, coincidentally,also from the '30s, and each a"must" in show buffs' libraries.

    Or maybe it's not all so co-incidental; for Cassidy is amusical comedy leading man inthe grand tradition, handsome,debonair, vocally superior andblessed with a personal eleganceand style the like of which hastoo long been downtrodden bythe swing-or stagger-to "nat-uralism" on both the dramaticand musical stage. Almost single-handedly, Cassidy is sneakingcharm and grace back into thetheater; and his finesse comesacross on wax, too, as provedby his six show album re-pack-agings now out as part of Co-lumbia's "Summer Stock" LPpromotion, which includes thelabel's entire hefty catalog ofnoted stage and screen packages.

    Singer -Actor Gives Rave ReviewsTo Lieberson's Producing Skill

    "Up until now," Cassidy toldRecord World last week in hisMark Hellinger Theater dress-ing room, "these six albumshave been rather 'inside', evencollectors' items. 'The BoysFrom Syracuse,' for instance,was being sold in some storesfor $25 not long ago. At thetime I mentioned to GoddardLieberson, who produced themall, that it would be a good ideato re-release them, and he saidthey'd be good Christmas pack-ages. But I see they're in theSummer Stock issue, and doingwell.

    "The thing that's makingthese albums sell, besides thegreat material, is the tenderloving care Goddard put intothem. He ad libbed many of thearrangements, you know, saying`This is the kind of a feeling Iwant . . .' His knowledge andtaste are impeccable. It is cer-tainly rare for a record companyexecutive to have the musicalcomedy savvy that Goddard has."

    Cassidy said he'd love to domore albums like "Babes inArms," with Mary Martin; "OhKay!", "On Your Toes," "Ro-berta," "Brigadoon," with hiswife, cinemasongstress ShirleyJones, and "Boys From Syra-cuse." His bouquet to Columbiaprexy Lieberson won't hurt hischances to do so. He particularlywould like to do such as "ByJupiter," "Du Barry Was aLady," "50,000,000 Frenchmen"and "The New Yorkers." "Thesongs in those days were eachpearls, with the book sand-wiched in between. Today, thebook is all-important and themusic secondary."

    Cassidy's voice has changeda bit from the time he recordedthe first of the lucky six,"Babes in Arms." "I was a realhigh tenor then," he recalled."They didn't want a big, boom-ing voice, and I had the light-ness they needed for the seriesGoddard was planning. Now I'ma lyric baritone. Of the oldershows, I guess I favor 'Oh,Kay!' Actually, though, I likewhat I did on 'Brigadoon' thebest of all.

    " 'Brigadoon' was the last ofthe show series to be recorded-Shirley and I did it the yearafter we were married, in '57,and I like to think it was partlyresponsible for the City Centerrevival of the show which wasso successful it moved over to

    Broadway."Shirley and I didn't do

    `Brigadoon' together, incidental-ly. She was on the Coast doinga movie at the time. I did mysection here, she did hers there."

    Cassidy enjoys his role in theCarol Burnett show (and, audio -wise, likes the ABC -Paramountcaster of it over the two -diskMGM recording of "She LovesMe," although "She Loves Me"is his favorite Broadway role).But he'd like to chuck the time-consuming grind of a play for aTV series. He has two prospectslined up, both comedy offerings.

    "One thing to stay away fromin a TV series is show businessovertones. Remember the IdaLupino-Howard Duff series,`Mr. Adams and Eve?' It was so`inside.' The Dick Van DykeShow' takes a show biz premiseand turns it outside to make itwork. I think the best situationcomedy series on TV was the oldPhil Silvers -Sgt. Bilko series,and I'd like to do a kind ofcivilian Bilko in my show. Mycharacter would always comeup with an
