Show By LYN CONNELLY JACK PAAR seems suddenly to have declared war on the press and the results do not exactly enhance en-hance him as a performer and certainly cer-tainly not as a philosopher ... Peculiar Pe-culiar thing about celebrities they woo newspaper people until they no longer need the publicity, then use the knife-in-the-back technique tech-nique . . . Not only Paar is guilty but others like Sinatra, Godfrey, and Kim Novak . . In the early days anything goes . . . newspapers newspa-pers are good enough to use publicity shots that are strictly aimed by agents to build clients up in the public's eye ... In these days, somehow or another reporters report-ers manage to get conversations right and are never challenged. As soon as the personality blossoms into a star, however, he cuts himself off from all publicity and immediately screams that reporters are always misquoting him . . . Note though that reporters report-ers only misquote when it is a scrtpe that the star himself gets into ... If the publicity is on some good the star may have done, miraculously the press manages to report the event correctly cor-rectly . . . Paar has had nothing I but good press reviews but he I has reached the stage where he ' mustn't be questioned anymore on good taste and material . . . He is THE STAR and there is no higher authority. CAPITOL George Shearing fans will love his latest album in stereo "Latin Affair" . . . The superb blind pianist and his quintet do an excellent job on "All or Nothing at All," "Let's Call the Whole Thing OrT," "Magic," "Mag-ic," "It's Easy to Remember," "Estampa Cubana," "Dearly Beloved" Be-loved" and other songs with smooth Latin rhythms. |
