"LA- -, - J 1 .ja ZZ Top, whose music termed In Texas Huffily has been blues rock, at the will be performing Sait Palace Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. Malone Children portray adults accurately By Joyce Maynard New York Times W nter At one point in the movie Bugsy NEW YORK Malone," Scott Baid, playing Bugsy, asks Flome Dugger, as his girlfriend, Blousey, how long she has . wanted to be a singer. Since I was a kid, she says. I Scott Baio is 14 years old. Florrie Dugger is the same age But like everyone else in the film, they - play adult roles, often with devastatmgly accurate portrayals of their elders All of this was much to the delight of the audience, most of whom, like most members of the cast, were under 4 feet 10 inches. ThJilm, which was written and directed by Alan Parker, is set in 1929 New York City But it is a scaled-dow- n New York, in which the cars and the bar ; 1 stools and the mens zoot suits and the womens satin - are all child-size- d The gangsters carry' ' gowns ; authenfic-lookin- g guns But what comes out of them are marshmallows. There is not a drop of bipod or ; an adult face visible in the entire movie. , : Totally Child World Most of the laughter, in the first few minutes of the t film, came simply from a sight of children inhabiting 2 a totally child world a little boy pouring drinks that . looked jike apple juice at a bar, a girl who looked 2 about aC, in eye shadow, high heels and a training . bra, sl&king through a chorus line routine. Halfway I into the movie, however, the children stopped looking like children, and it would have been the sight of an I adult, and not a child, that jarred The children in the audience (many of them ; and considerable bubble- displaying Fonzie gum-ti- p wmg facility) laughed energetically and often and appeared to like the marshmallow-shootinbest I scenes-thAfter the movie ended (with an orgy of pie I throwing) there was a press conference and question--I session for the audience, with three cast members (Scott Baio, John Cassissl and (Humpty) ! Albln Jenkins,) along with Parker and Paul Williams, who wrote the songs for the movie. John Cassissi, who is 14 and lives in Brooklyn, said he was chosen for the part of Fat Sam when Parker isited his school and picked him out of a classroom. I told my dad, Im going to be in a movie and he said John, a stocky boy not said Get outta here, I easily at a loss for words. We had a great time making the movie. There was a lot of levity on the . set Like Any Other Job ! suit, said being in ScottJBiao, weanng a three-piec- e the movie was just like any other job I might have ! done and added that, It was frightening to see myself up there on the screen. ; Albjn Jenkins, who danced to Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head at Carnegie Hall when he was 2, seemed pretty cool about the whole thing, as he signed autographs During the press conference, some of the adults connected with the film fed questions to the boys on the onier of, I hear that you and Florrie Dugger wore gji item during the filming " Several writers from an newspaper called The Childrens I tape Express, carrying reporter's notebooks andactors wanted to know about the child ; recorders, ! salaries (which they said were being handled by their mothers) and asked whether they had any future himself actingplans. John Cassissi pronounced available" and gave out his phone number. Tsum it all up, he said. Luck came knocking on tho3oor, and 1 answered it. 1 g Leagues poetry By David L Beck Trtbune Staff Writer The wtnHa hlnuHn says Billy Gibbons on the phone from Bismark, N D , when I got up this momin they was whitecaps m my commode. Billy talks like that Hes the lead guitarist with ZZ Top, the little ole band from Texas, which plays the Salt Palace Tuesday and which is currently on a monster tour designed to take Texas to the people Its literally a monster tour, if you consider buzzards, rattlesnakes, Longhorns and buffalo monsters The tour is being wntten of in superlatives a stage three times as big as the Rolling Stones last touring stage, a $140,000 menagerie, five huge scrims on which is projected a three dimensional panorama of the Texas praines," yucca plants and cactus, 260 speakers, 40,000 watts worth of amplification power, 130 lighting fixtures. . . . More Superlatives More superlatives The tour began May 29 and has 16 months more to run Amusement Business, a trade publication, estimates it has a $20 million gross potential. Big business for the little ole band from Texas Yknow, Texans have a funny approach to money," says Billy Moneys that sixth sense that lets you enjoy the other five Theres another advantage to the sheer size of the project It's working out real fine," explains Frank Beard, the drummer "The thing is so big that its given us, like, a day off between each show, cause it takes two days to set it up. Then there are breaks in the tour, too. On one of them, says Billy, they took a trip down to the Mexican border. Got stranded down there, subsisting on Mexican breakfast cigarette and a glass of water. On another they went deep sea fishing Four kings hit We pulled em into the wle of the boat, but as soon as they got a look at our faces, they done took off They like to tell stories like that, and they inMst that their songs arc based on just tho-- e ki: experiences growing up in Texas La Grange' Theres one called La Grange, about a place Frank Beard cajls the Waldorf Astoria of whorehouses Its closed now, explains Dusty Hill, the bass guitarist "Some reporter did an expose on it, which was kind of sdly cause everyone knew about it. The old sheriff there, old man about b0, punched the reporter when he come out to do a follow up sto . Right in the middle of the street. Theres another called "Precious and Grace, about a couple of girls Billy and Dusty found hitch-hikinWe were dm mg back from Dallas, says Dusty. Saw em hitch hiking Didnt seem 'em very well, though One of em had a big scar runnin all across her face, and the other had a face pitted like the craters of the moon y arnmg is part This kind of conscious Texas-styl- e and parcel of what ZZ Top is up to, but perhaps it should not be taken as evidence of unsophiStication Quite the contrary' Billy, for example, is quite capable of saying, Well, that dont make you no bad fella, when you tell him you prefer blues to rock, and then going on to talk about a resurgence of interest in blues in the Texas scene U, Tenant IU IH d " unpub-lishe- WHEN YOU PUSH TOO FAR.
