You probably remember ber as the dumb blond in Laugb-In, a television series that starred Martin and Rowan back someý years ago. Neither of them have been heard from since its demise. However, Goldie Hawn bas plodded away at ber career and this time, it may Private Bejamin is rated adult, and is a story that is filed with tenderness, comedy and a certain depth of excitement. Frankly, I neyer su bscribed to Goldie Hawn l5efore. I neither found her as funny or as bavlng any deptb what- soever as an actress. Private Benjamin bas given ber the opportunity to break be the one that takes ber to the top.

The Coach House bas two menus: one for the evening dîners and one for the lun- cheon group. At noon, you can have Baked Ham, Souther F'ried Chicken, Fisb and Chips, Steak Sandwich, Sandwiches or even the Diet Special. Up to this point this ail sounds great. What about the price is the question probably going through your mind. The prices are great. We had two excellent dinners, with a carafe of wine for just about $30. Remember, we went al out and bad about the best on the menu. On another oc- casion we ate a throughly deliclous meal and it cost the us about $16. You also bave a choice of desserts.

As the catch line on the advertising states, "The army was no laughing mat- ter until Private Benjamin joined it". The moview was directed by Howard Zieff, who ad- mits it was a real pleasure to wqrk with Goldie Hawn. He recounts how when tbey were casting for sup- porting roles, Goldie sat down and read parts with the hopefuls. He explained that this made his job so much easier because as a rule this job is done by the casting director who is not an actor. out of that stereotyped sheil, and we rèalize now that this littie girl does have a real talent. It just takes a certain type of story vehicle to give her the opportunity to display the talent that bas been lying dormant for quite a long time. Old Blue Eyes is on the local screen again, this time with Faye Dunaway in The First Deadly Sin. It's a movie that is labelled adult, but carrnes the warning that some scenes of violence may be offensive. No wonder, Frankie is searching for a killer and Faye is searching for a miracle, so sometbing other than the ordinary bas to happen. The cast is backed by such stalwarts as James Wbit- more, Martin Gabel and Davis Dukes. The First Deadly Sin is a movie that may flot appeal to your finer senses, but if you happen to like action, and Frank Sinatra's kind of <toughness, you'll like it. Pardon the pun, but frankly I did not. To get away from violen- ce, sex and fouI language, you can enjoy a laugh at the Marks this wee with Marty Feldn-an and cast in a tbing cailed In God We Trust. It's silly, spoofy and you'Il probably get a few yuks from it. On the same program they have Smokey and the Bandit Il which was reviewed in this space several weeks ago.
