Bacharach—NewleyAt Westbury With Burt Bacharach and

Anthony Newley scheduled to coheadline at the comfortably air-conditioned Westbury Music Fair in Westbury, June 21-27, Long Island's plush, all-year round theatre will be showing one of the premier musical events of the 1976 season. Music Fair producers Lee Guber and Shelly Gross have pacted two super­stars of the music industry to present eight concerts in six days and the good word is that tickets are available at the Westbury box-office and at Ticketron outlets.

Burt Bacharach, considered by many the reigning prince of popular music and by others as the man who revolutionized pop song-writing, became the man of the moment when he created such hit tunes as: "What's New Pussycat?" "Do You Know The Way To San Jose," "What The World Needs Now Is Love," "I'll Never Fall In Love Again," "Alfie," "Close To You," and "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head," each of which has been -recorded by hundreds of artists,

Writers' Club Writers' Club will hold its last

meeting before summer vacation on Wednesday, June 23, at the South Branch Library at 7:30 p.m. All are welcome.

When the Spaniards first came upon the tomato in South America they called it a "love apple." .

Together with Lyricist Hal David, Bacharach's work has produced hundreds of songs, film scores, a Broadway musical and the basis for his continuing series of SRO concerts and best-selling albums on the A&M Label. Bacharach is now considered a composer whose music most accurately reflects the nature of America in contemporary times.

Anthony Newley is a creative artist in just about every phase of the business. Newley's versatility is so immense that it becomes difficult at times to think of him as just one person. At any given time, he can be working in films, be part of a panel on a TV talk show, readying, for another Broadway show or preparing his concert act. This most talented artist is closely identified with "Stop The World, I Want To Get Off," the show that made him a star although a slew of others have made him just about as famous. How can one forget tunes like: "What Kind Of Fool Am I?" "Who Can I Turn To," "Gonna Build A Mountain," "Pop Goes The Weasel" and "Candy Man."

Burt Bacharach and Anthony Newley will perform Mon, Tues, Wed and Thurs at 8:30 pm; Fri, 8:30 pm; Sat, 7:00 and 10:30 pm; and Sun at 7:30 pm.

THE SARBEN BEAT By Louise Proefriedt

One of the surest happenings in any garden is the appearance somewhere of weeds. While they can prove to be very unsightly when not tended to on a regular basis they do offer the gardener a variety of information about his soil.

First of all, most weeds occur as a result of a decline in the fertility of the soil, and certain weeds appear because the soil is low in some minerals and high in others. Certain conditions of the soil will produce a particular variety of weed. A good indication of an acid soil is the appearance of sheep sorrel, cinquefoil and hawkweed. A slightly acid soil will produce daisy, horsetail and field sorrel. Goldenrod, salt grass and sensuvium are products of an alkali soil.

Soil built up organically will aid in the elimination of weed problems. Plants in soil that is rich in organics grow more rapidly thereby developing root systems crowding out weeds. Lawns are a good example. In a bacteria-rich soil weed seeds lose their viability but thrive in a soil with poor bacterial life.

Control of weeds through the use of chemicals can not only be ex­pensive but a danger to man, animal and other plant life because chemicals leave toxic substances in the soil. The use of biological controls are very promising but not yet at the perfected stage. Mulching can keep the weeds down - the use of pebbles, bark chips, hay and grass clippings are becoming more prevalent than ever before.

Most of us consider weeds a problem especially at this time of year when lots of warmth and a long day prompt growth. Leave one week go by without keeping a check on the weeds and the following week will bring more than triple the work. Despite this annoying work-inducing and unglamorous job, there's a lot to be said in favor of weeds. While we have for a long time considered them to be nuisances, many weeds perform valuable services in a garden. While we have for a long time considered them to be nuisances, many weeds perform valuable services in a garden. Deep rooted weeds bring up minerals from below - many storing trace elements - making them available to other plants. Large rooted weeds break up hardpans. They make room for plant roots to spread out and aerate the soil. Some weeds are edible and have high contents of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Burdock and Dandelions are probably two of the most popular. Weeds conserve nutrients that might otherwise be leached away and because of their own nutritional diversities add organic matter that is rich in a variety of_ elements.

ArenaPlayers Offer Opera

The Arena Players Opera Theatfe offers a double-bill as its opening presentation. First, "The Opera Rehearsal" by Albert Lortzing, a favorite composer of European audiences, being performed for the first time in English on Long Island. A light farce-satire on opera itself, "The Opera Rehearsal" might be described as "an opera within a play." Featured pe^ofmers are Kathleen Sullivan, Louis Tucker, Roger Wagerin and Christina Soler. '

Then, Leoncavallo's "I Pagliacci" - "The Clowns" - the world-famous and familiar "play within the opera" ..'. which develops tragic overtones when the artificial world of the theatre becomes confused with the real world of a troup of traveling performers. Featured as Pagliacci is William A. An­derson, recently returned from Germany and Switzerland where he studied, toured and performed as lead tenor. Also featured are Valerie Dinan, Heather Parr, John Eyre, Richard Klimkowski and Zachary Murdock.

Stage directing both operas is William Anderson. Musical director is Arthur A. Dercksen, with an extensive background directing and conducting, both here and in Europe. \

Opening date is Tuesday, June 15. Additional performances are Sunday, June 20, Tuesday, June 22, Sunday, June 27, and Tuesday, June 29th. Tickets for all performances are $5 ($4 for students and senior citizens). Curtain time is 8:30 pm for Tuesday performances, and 3 pm on Sundays.

The Arena Players Theatre is located at 296 Route 109 in East Farmingdale, just north of Southern State Parkway Exit 33, and one-half mile east of Route 110. For reservations and in­formation, call the box office at 293-0674.

L.Q. Jones got both his start and name in showbusiness through sheer determination. He was sharing an apartment with Fess Parker at the time and a friend gave' him a script of "Battle' Cry," which Warner Bros, was scheduled to produce. Jones took off for the Warner studio the, next day and said he would like to do the part of "L.Q." the studio bosses ordered him thrown out. Director Raoul Walsh overheard the argument and said that if he (Jones) was crazy enough to think he could do the part, he was crazy enough to get a screen test for it. He got it and has been known asjLjQ. ever since. He has done 33 tUfe since then, including "The Young Lions," "Cimarron," "Love Me Tender," "The Naked < and the Dead," and "The WildlBunch." ... L.Q: Jones is in town promoting "A Boy and his Dog," which features Jason Robards. L.Q. directed the film and it was produced by his company. Jones is an iced tea drinker and will drink as much as ten glasses of iced tea during a meal. At the Deauville Film Festival recently Jones noticed that it was hard to get tea in restaurants and night clubs because the French drank wine, so he cabled back home for a crate of it and before the festival was over he had changed the habits of many Frenchmen who would never taste it before L.Q. insisted.

KNIGHTS: Zsa Zsa Gabor dropped in at the Bounty Inn long enough to reveal that she will appear in stock this summer in "Blithe Spirit." ... In the up­coming August issue of "Genesis," Tony Scaduto tells of the many Senators and Congressmen who have affairs on the side. Scaduto says: "President Johnson never made any attempt to hide, even from Lady Bird, the fact that he was picking some of his staff mem­bers for their looks and

availability and their group mentalities." ... Barry New­man's favorite breakfast corner -The Cosmic restaurant on Broadway.

THE TOWER OF BABEL: James Caan calls himself the "Only Jewish New York Cowboy." Caan rides on the rodeo circuit and claims to have roped as many as thirty steers a day. Last year he entered six rodeos and placed in three. He is also quite a tennis player. "I play my best tennis against Pancho Gonzales," he says, I play my best against people who really are beyond me, who will always beat me. I just don't see playing to lose. The fun is in trying your best. Except in acting, I believe in competition with another actor. You can't be good in a bad scene.

THE THIEF OF BAD GAGS: Bandleader Sammy Kaye says he saw a modern Western movie. During an attack the Indians put their tents in a circle ... Singer Marie Lane tells of the new recession correspondence course. They train you at home to collect unemployment checks ... A Press Box diner told of a politician who has his foot in his mouth so often, he doesn't have room for words.
