arts, entertainment 8 Iowa City Press-Citizen Wednesday, October 27, 1976 Hair stylist turns to cutting records NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Two years ago, Larry G. Hudson was one of the best hair stylists in the country. He owned two shops, employed eight persons and was making good money. Now he's cutting records like he used to cut hair.

And he says he's happier than he ever thought he could be and on the verge of becoming a country music star. "I was just at the point where I was making a comfortable living," said Hudson of Macon, Ga. "Hair styling was great to me; I enjoyed success beyond wildest dreams, and for that I'm thankful. "But music was, and always will be, my first and all-consuming love," said Hudson, 27, also known as "Larry He and his seven-piece band you was at styling hair, country music will have a new star. He won a Georgia hair-styling contest and was second among 7,000 other contestants in national competition in Pittsburgh.

"I've not cut hair for two years, and I won't go back. I've not even renewed by license and that costs only $5 a year. I gave my tools to friends. When I quit, my friends told me I'd lost my mind." He says he wasn't much of a singer at first. "I'm sincere.

It's no front. I know where I'm at and where I want to go. Other people are more talented than I am, but none will outwork "I believe I'm just now coming Into my own. I'm a good entertainer, and working on being a good singer. "I could never place myself above others.

Everybody is kind of on the same level, some have just achieved more. There's no such thing as a superstar. "I'm thankful to be able to do what I do and love it. I suppose 95 per cent of the people hate their jobs." He's recorded two songs that became hits later by other artists. They are "9,999,999 Tears," now a hit by Dickey Lee, and "Shop Around," one of the Captain and Tennille's hits.

(AP) The author of "Death Wish" fears that when CBS airs the movie version it will trigger a rash of copycats imitating the "hero" a man who kills those he thinks are law-breakers.

So Brian Garfield has been waging a so far unsuccessful campaign to convince the giant network that showing the violence-drenched film on a Friday night in prime time is a mistake that could result in tragedy. "If they don't show it, it might keep a couple of people alive," the novelist said In an interview. "If you run it for an audience of 100 million, you have to accept the responsibility for kooks. "My problem with the film Is that I think it's dangerous," said Garfield, who was attending a writer's workshop here. "It's already led to a couple of people emulating the events." CBS, which says the movie meets its programs' standards, says it'll be broadcast in November but no date has been set yet.

Garfield's book deals with a man, portrayed by Charles Bronson in the film, who takes the law into his own hands after his wife is murdered and his daughter driven insane during a vicious Two performances byLaScala to be broadcast University of Iowa radio station WSUI will broadcast two performances by Italy's Internationally acclaimed opera company, the Teatro alia Scala, in November. "La Cenerentola" by Gioacchino Rossini will be broadcast at 1 p.m. Nov. 20. "Simon Boccanegra" by Giuseppe Verdi will be aired at 1 p.m.

Nov. 27. Both performances are conducted by I'laudio Abbado. The performances were recorded by the National Public Radio System during the company's recent engagement at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

It was the first time I-aScala had appeared in this country in the company's 200-year history. rape by three hoodlums. The character in the book shows clear evidence of a mental disorder as the book progresses and near the end is shooting burglars and car strippers. "He's obviously a nut," Garfield said. But in the movie, says Garfield, who had no part in the production, the man is made out to be a "cowboy hero" who never shoots first.

"It makes it much more appealing," he said. The character, a wealthy architect, kills his first victim, a mugger, almost by accident. But after the ease with which he exacts his retribution, he decides to continue his vigilante assault on crime. As the movie ends, Bronson is caught in the act by a policeman, who realizes he is the vigilante killer and turns his back on the bloodshed. Garfield objected to scheduling the film as a "Movie of the Week" late this year in prime time.

"I suggested they think of running it as a late show. But of course if they run it as a late show they lose advertising. "The only reply I got was full courteous double-talk which amounted to a he said. "Mr. Garfield's desire to have us not show the film does not reflect the reality of the situation at all," said Mike Buchanan, head of CBS publicity on the West Coast.

"If a show meets our program practice standards, it is shown."
