Naturally, the lady gentlemen prefer floored us with her opening line. Ive cracked my front tooth, she said. On a pumpkin seed. A shelled pumpkin seed. I look like Milton Berle. Of course, she didnt look like Milton Berle (just a large bauble that fell out of, well, the Taj Mahal). Miss Channing, as everyone knows, is very particular about what she eats. (Pumpkin seeds are high on her dietary list.) She had brought along her own Care package, neatly wrapped in elegant little containers. A little pulverized zucchini here and two eggs, rolled m golden foil, there, quaffed down with her very own personal mineral water from a sterling silver flask that once adorned the back seat of a rs The Human Ensemble Repertory Theatre opens its production of Jack Heifners Vanities, Friday at 8:30 p.m. at the Ladies Literary Club, 850 E.

"A DNI's Howe," Southern Utah State College auditorium, Cedar Cltw I p.m., that ever seems to tire this hyperactive doll are people who ask: Dont you ever get tired of doing Dolly? Her answer is: Never, never. To me Hello, Dolly is an ageless classic. People are going to be doing this show 100 years from now, like Gilbert and Sullivan. And as for me, I intend to do it all again when Im 90. Speaking of age, I have to tell you I simply dont believe in it. I figure in about 10 years time, 1 might be just entering the prime of my life. I feel like Im just starting to come together. I'm just sort of coming into puberty right now. In celebration of her eternal youth, Carol Channing, in between Dolly performances, is busy putting together some country-wester- n songs for a record album. She and folks, like Jimmy C. Newrman and Rufus Thibodeau, who Carol insists is the worlds greatest Cajun fiddler, are working on some Nashville stuff. About the only thing free.

I really thought people had been Dollied to death, said Miss C. Well, it turned out New York's ready again for an upbeat musical. You know, this whole thing happened when Jerry Herman and I went to see Annie together. Jerry said to me afterward: You know maybe this is the time to put Dolly on tour. After a whole series of downers, people were ready for a story of winners. I think the tide turned with the movie, Rocky, which was about winning. And that, after all, is the story of Dolly Levi. Shes a woman trying to rejoin the human race, a widow shooting for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The last time I had toured in this show was during the Vietnam War. People didnt seem to be as ready for the story of a woman pulling herself up by her bootstraps. Well, they are now. I can just feel it every day I do this show. One of the things that delights the actress most is the way that the show has been faithfully revived. I owe it all to a friend of mine by the name of Henry Sutton, who was stage manager and played the judge in the original Dolly. One year during the original run, Henry wanted to do something for my birthday. Well, he began to write down every move in the play, almost the way a choreographer does a ballet.
