XII NO. 17 APRIL 29, 1982 IN THIS ISSUE Elephant Walk Riot Case Put to Rest In the second stage of the White Night Riot — after the rampage around City Hall, police presence in the Castro grew by the hour. The street was quiet, and yet carfull after carfull of riot-geared police went up and down Castro Street. The trolling cars were unnecessary but they soon became provocative, and the challenge was met. Soon the streets were filled with angry Gays, and phalanxes of hel- meted, baton - wielding police. He wrote, “This office has completed its review of the Elephant Walk incident and the investi¬ gation into the complaints of police misconduct related thereto.

The crossing at 18th and Castro was occupied by po¬ lice. Suddenly they broke ranks and rushed the Ele¬ phant Walk bar. Swinging batons, the police broke plate glass, cracked heads, beat people to the ground. Pan¬ icked patrons fled up 18th and others up Castro. Many were pursued. The incident was labeled at the time a “Po¬ lice Riot.” Since that night four years ago, the Gay com¬ munity has exerted constant pressure to get a thorough in¬ vestigation and brings charges against lawbreakers.

Candidates Phil Burton, Milton Marks (5th District) and Louise Renne (6th District) all congratulated Federal Judge Robert Aguilar’s ruling that stripped the Immigra¬ tion and Naturalization Service of some of its discrimina¬ tory power. Burton said, “In issuing this decision Judge Aguilar has demonstrated an astute reading of the Constitution and its protection of the ‘rights of association and speech.’” His challenger, Marks said, “Juge Aguilar is to be praised for deciding in favor of Carl Hill’s entry into the United States.” Marks had praises for those who worked on the case. “Don Knutson and Gay Rights Ad¬ vocates are to be specially commended for their tireless efforts.” Supervisor Louise Renne, a leading contender in the vacated John Burton seat, said, “Judge Aguilar’s ruling is of crucial importance in removing one of the most un¬ just barriers to freedom of association and freedom of choice.” She too profferred her congratulations to Agui¬ lar “as well as Carl Hill for pressing his case and the many supporters of Mr. Hill who assisted him during his appeal.” Both Renne and Burton made reference to their own contributions on the issue. Said Burton, “As one who has been working to repeal Section 212(a)(4) of the Immigration and Nationality Act ... I support Judge Aguilar’s courageous decision.” Renne recalled that on August 6, 1979, she voted in favor of a San Francisco Board of Supervisors resolution urging the INS to cease to detain aliens on the basis of sexual preference.

Jane Fonda & Kate Jackson Retire Britt’s Debt by Allen White The campaign debt accumulated in electing Harry Britt to office in 1979 was finally erased last Saturday night. The event which pulled the Gay Supervisor out of hock featured movie stars Jane Fonda and Kate Jackson at a crowded cocktail party at the home of War Memorial Board member, attorney Tom Horn. Hollywood stars Jane Fonda and Kate Jackson auction of signed film posters (OmGolden Pond) to retire Harry Britt's year-old campaign debts. (Photo by Rink) The evening Was truly Harry Britt’s night with Jane Fonda and Kate Jackson do¬ ing almost everything imagin¬ able to get this debt out of the way. Jane Fonda was to com¬ ment, “I will do anything for money ... if it’s legal.” The team of Jackson and Fonda did exactly that. After they ar¬ rived the two were seated at a table, and for $10 a pop you could get an autographed pic¬ ture of either. The two then proceeded to hold an auc¬ tion. Autographed posters from Making Love were going for $60 apiece; $40 bought Mark Riley the hat Mike Farrell wore in M*A*S*H. The big money came in for posters and programs from On Gold¬ en Pond which were auto¬ graphed by Jane Fonda and her Academy Award winning father which yielded $200 each. The highest bid of the night came for a limited edi¬ tion litho by Henry Fonda. The print was a passage from The Grapes of Wrath and was also autographed; Mark Leno paid $300 for it. The enthusiasm of the wo¬ men set the pace for the eve¬ ning. Jane Fonda arrived on crutches from a tennis acci¬ dent earlier in the week. She passed up an appearance the night before at the big buck MECLA dinner ($200 a tick¬ et) in Los Angeles to be at the Britt event. Fonda in address¬ ing the audience noted that for the first time, a film on a Gay lifestyle. Making Love could be released, be a com¬ mercial success and not even stir controversy. She attrib¬ uted that to Harry Britt and “those of you who have brought the subject out of the closet.” The crowd that gathered at the home of Tom Horn was as diversified as San Francis¬ co. Harry Britt said that when he was sworn into office three years ago, he wanted to “make it possible for human beings, all kinds of human be¬ ings, to help make decisions” relating to process of govern¬ ment. He also stated he want¬ ed “to give Lesbians and Gay men the opportunity to make this city just a little more spe¬ cial.” He reaffirmed those goals. Britt and Horn introduced the many people in the group either running for or holding an elected office. They in¬ cluded: Assembly candidate Tom Hayden; Supervisor Nancy Walker; Barbara Box¬ er; Board of Education mem¬ ber Bill Maher; Gay Commu¬ nity College Board member Tim Wolfred; Sue Bierman of the Planning Commission; Carole Migden, who is a Les¬ bian running for Community College Board; Ron Huber- man, Connie O’Connor, and Cleve Jones, who are run¬ ning for Democratic County Central Committee. Special guests at the affair were Thelma Shelley, wife of the late S.F. Mayor Jack Shelley, and Lily Cuneo, who also sits on the War Memorial Board of Trustees and was a'volun¬ teer bartender for the occa¬ sion. Also present was Les¬ bian Judge Mary Morgan. Congressman Phil Burton praised all present with spe¬ cial emphasis on the contribu¬ tions made by Britt. Supervisor Harry Britt was appointed by Mayor Feinstein to replace assassinated Gay Supervisor Harvey Milk in January 1979, He ran for office in District 5 later that year with a campaign esti¬ mated at $100,000. In 1980 district elections were re¬ moved, and he had to run for office once again. The Super¬ visor has now paid off the debt and is starting to build a “warchest” for his next politi¬ cal fight. He stated he never wants to spend this length of time, ever again, to pay the debts for running for public office. ■ Federal Survey of Male Prostitution Questioned The difference between talking to public officials who think .they know about male prostitution and talking to the male prostitutes themselves is evident in a new federal survey. A recent San Francisco- based survey based on actual interviews with male prosti¬ tutes revealed that they were usually Gay-identified and became prostitutes as a me'ans of exploring their homosexuality. The new survey of public officials (mayors, police offi¬ cials) in 22 cities, however, reported that male prostitutes were not previously Gay and entered prostitution without having had previous homo¬ sexual experiences. The re¬ port came from the federal General Accounting Office, an unusual agency to be con¬ ducting sex research. The GAO said that public officials concluded that male prostitutes are usually 8-17 years old, underachievers, without previous homosexual activity, underdeveloped physically and from a low- income background. It was not explained how mayors would know about such mat¬ ters. It is assumed that the po¬ lice knowledge comes from police arrest records and in¬ formal observation. The possible prejudicial na¬ ture of the overall federal sur¬ vey is revealed in its discus¬ sion of child pornography in which it said that children who are photographed “can by psychologically scarred for life.” It said there is less child pornography today because of a federal child exploitation law, media attention, and a ban on commercial child por¬ nography in Sweden and Denmark.

He said contin¬ uing waste and mismanage¬ ment in the use of limited city funds “is what drives people to support Ronald Reagan.” Hongisto emphasized, “1 still believe strongly in human rights, in nondiscrimination and in compassion.” How¬ ever, he said, it is not being compassionate to deprive people of the benefits of government by misusing city funds. The solution, he add¬ ed, “is in finding practical solutions to our problems that do not involve expenditures.” “Unfortunately,” Hongisto stressed, “we are forced, as supervisors, to vote ‘Yes’ at times because it is politically unpopular to vote ‘No.’” The obviously receptive crowd cheered Editor Lorch’s concluding remarks about his lover, Thom. He said their re¬ lationship gave him consider¬ able strength. Lorch also said that the 63 people who con¬ tribute to B.A.R. are most im¬ portant, that they will “leave a legacy for those who follow.” He said, “We do not always appreciate what we are doing for ourselves.” ■ Bay Area Reporter Editor Paul Lorch spoke of “the thrill of being out of the closet” and paid a tribute to his lover, Thom Pierson. Publisher Bob Ross received a certificate of honor from the city’s Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Louise Renne laughed when told that maybe it was best that she had not come with her handsome husband, who might have been whisked away by a male guest. The evening of jovial con¬ versation and serious reflec¬ tion was the annual Bay Area Reporter dinner with Publish¬ er Ross toasting his 63 writers and production staff mem¬ bers at Le Domino. Honored guests, which included Su¬ pervisors Harry Britt, Dick Hongisto and Renne, heard Ross attribute much of B.A.R.’s success to Lorch. Both men received an appre¬ ciative ovation from the diners. S.F. Board of Super¬ visors honors paper for its dozen years of service Publisher Ross expressed pride as he spoke of the ex¬ pansion at B.A.R. in recent years. He said B.A.R. is fi¬ nancially secure and has been able to expand to become a weekly, employ nine man¬ agement/ production staffers, triple its office space, and computerize its operation plus pay all of its 54 writers. Tom Waddell, B.A.R. col¬ umnist, received a $625 check from Advertising Rep¬ resentative Paul Hufstedler to assist with the coming Gay Olympics. Ross announced that an additional check from B.A.R. for the same amount would go to the World Series in Sports, a co-event being held with the Olympics in late September. The $1,250 was a pledge from B.A.R. to give the sports events 10% of its income from the recent 12th Anniversary issue.

PARTNERSHIP TOWNHOMES In the Hills of Baja San Francisco, Just 12 Minutes South of The City BAY AREA REPORTER APRIL 29, 1982 PAGE 3 Carl Hill Decision INS Can’t Bar Gays (Continued from Page 1) celebrated case, adding $125,000 worth of donated labor by two attorneys over the last three years. “But you all have had to pay twice,” he said. “First by your donations to Gay Rights Advocates, whose attorneys have fought the precedent- setting case, “and second through your taxes,” financ¬ ing court time, federal attor¬ neys and Immigration and Naturalization Service salaries squandered on trying to keep .foreign Gays out of America. GRA Director Don Knut¬ son, one of three attorneys working on Hill’s case, esti¬ mates another three years of work if federal attorneys ap¬ peal Ninth District Judge Robert P. Aguilar’s ruling last Thursday. The court forbade the government to bar Hill for his homosexuality without first administering a medical test, as had once been their adopted procedure. The Sur¬ geon General, since Hill tried to visit San Francisco three years ago, has refused to ad¬ minister such a “medical” test. The 27-year-old INS stat¬ ute includes “sexual deviants” in a “mental psychopath” ex¬ clusion policy, implying that homosexuality is a medical or mental problem. Since the American Psychiatric Associ¬ ation voted in the mid-70’s to declassify homosexuality as innate insanity, such certifica¬ tion of homosexuality by gov¬ ernment doctors could not automatically affirm implied psychosis — thus the Sur¬ geon General’s ruling to stop administering the tests. In lieu of a medical exam, Immigration policy more re¬ cently has been to bar homo¬ sexual visitors who offer an unsolicited statement of their sexuality or are turned in by a contemporaneous traveler. Government attorney Leon¬ ard Rosenberg admitted in court last week that Hill’s case history would be enough to empower Immigration offi¬ cials to question further “whether indeed he still is homosexual.” There was laughter at the defense table and among the courtroom audience on the 17th floor of the Federal Building, 450 Golden Gate, after Rosen¬ berg’s remark. Judge Aguilar’s ruling means the government’s ban on visitors is unenforceable without a medical test. He gave the government 30 days to commence new exclusion proceedings against Hill. Knutson, along with Hill’s other attorneys, Jeff Apple- man and William Dillingham, said they expect the govern¬ ment to appeal Aguilar’s rul¬ ing to the Court of Appeals, and the loser there to apply for Supreme Court review. Such a scenario would add, Knutson estimates, another three years to the already three years since Hill was stopped at the San Francisco airport when he and his lover came to enjoy and cover for a London Gay newspaper Gay Freedom Day in June ’79. Hill was wearing a Gay button on his lapel at the time he was stopped by Customs. Hill has been asked by the ’82 Lesbian/Gay Freedom Day Committee to appear on stage at this year’s June 27 celebration. If he can afford to come, his way has been cleared by two of Judge Agui- lar’s rulings. Last June, Aguilar issued a temporary injunction at the behest of L/GFDC attorney Mary Dunlap that prohibits the government from stop¬ ping visitors in his district on the basis of their sexual ori¬ entation. Federal attorneys will appeal that injunction in court this month. Dunlap also plans to file suit this month to throw out the government’s case against such an injunc¬ tion and to make it perman¬ ent. The Parade Committee’s case challenges the ban on homosexual visitors on the basis that it abridges Ameri¬ can citizens’ Constitutional rights of association and intel¬ lectual discourse. Aguilar’s ruling in the Hill case, while “it takes the motor out of the car," according to Hill’s attor¬ ney Dillingham, does not actually throw out the law it¬ self. merely rendering it un¬ enforceable. Conceivable, if the govern¬ ment could come up with a new medical test for homo¬ sexuality, they could once again enforce the law. According to GRA spokes¬ person Jean O’Leary, Agui¬ lar’s decision last week also expanded dramatically the courts’ power to review INS actions heretofore often kept 3079 SIXTEENTH STREET SAN FRANCISCO BETWEEN MISSION AND VALENCIA 861-5757 beyond court purview. The decision could favorably im¬ pact upon many noncitizen claims against INS previously ruled out when the noncitizen is no longer in the country. Government attorneys argued that Hill’s case was moot and therefore shouldn’t be heard in court because he had already had his stay in this country, albeit on parole from INS, as he originally in¬ tended, and had left the States. Aguilar ruled he would render a decision be¬ cause the government’s testi¬ mony indicated the situation was likely to recur, both to Hill and others. Aguilar’s previously issued injunction and last Thursday’s ruling, however, apply only to his district of Northern Cali¬ fornia. Thus, only in the inter¬ national ports of Oakland and San Francisco are visitors freev to enter the U.S. without fear that their sexuality will incur the government ban. “Had I arrived in New York,” Hill told perplexed re¬ porters from the straight press two weeks ago. “I’d be in jail now.” It was thanks to Aguilar’s prior injunction, issued to the Parade Committee, that al¬ lowed Hill to pass through Customs here even to appear in court and win the history¬ making decision. Hill told a news conference last week at GRA offices, 540 Castro, he had “grown old” during the long court battle “I’m now 25,” he smiled ruefully. But he promised to carry on the fight “and make sure we remove this hideous law.” Konstantin Berlandt Gun Control Debate at Stonewall The controversial handgun control proposal will be de¬ bated at Stonewall Gay Democratic Club’s May 3 meeting by Sheriff Mike Hen¬ nessey (in favor of it) and Su¬ pervisor Carol Ruth Silver (against it). A large crowd is expected to hear this ex¬ change. The meeting will be at the Women’s Building, 3543 18th Street near Valen¬ cia, and begins at 7:30pm.

He was given an examination and then sent home. According to hospital records he walked home . . . he doesn’t remember. On Saturday morning the pain was more than he could stand. He returned to St. Francis Hospital. This time the hospital took x-rays and brain scans. The tests proved the injury more serious. Because of his attack Lan- hart suffered a fractured skull, and the blow was so intense his brain literally hit the right side of his head. He was to re¬ main in the hospital for a full week. Last Saturday Ray¬ mond was finally released from the hospital. He is recovering and he still plans to get involved in this year’s parade and celebration. Tonight (Thursday) there will be a meeting of the Les¬ bian/Gay Freedom Day Committee. Ray is planning, with everything he can mus¬ ter, to attend that meeting. He told the Bay Area Report¬ er , “If I have the strength 1 will be there. I want and I need to be involved.” Lanhart continued, “I’m looking forward to hearing what my functions are going to be.” Committee co-chairs Rick Turner and Glenne McElhin- ney are ready to have the par¬ ticipation of Raymond Lan¬ hart. They have made the de¬ cision to appoint Lanhard Acting Media Co-chair of the 1982 Lesbian/Gay Freedom Day Committee. Lanhart’s Journalism in¬ structor Paul Lorch said that he and the rest of the class were saddened and hoped the Gay man would recover soon. He said, “About the same time I was letting the Parade people know I had found them a volunteer writ¬ er, Lanhart was getting word to them that he had been put out of action. He called this week to say he would be back in class as soon as he was on his feet.” The doctors have told Ray Lanhart that he can get in¬ volved. The parade co-chairs are moved by his courage and desire to get involved. And you know damned well that in spite of the violence that plagues people in this city, Ray Lanhart will be involved. ■ Allen White ices to write for the '82 Parade. On his iuay home he was mugged.

Renne supporters shrugged off the vote as a foregone conclusion since, as one Renne supporter put it, “Harry Britt and the Milk club leadership knew they had to deliver this one, so the out¬ come is really no surprise.” Renne’s advisors, in fact, had told the San Francisco Super¬ visor that they were so sure of a Boxer victory that Renne didn’t bother to show up at either the Political Action Committee’s interview meet- ing or Tuesday’s session.

Tuesday night’s meeting also produced Milk club en¬ dorsements for Jerry Brown for U.S. Senator, Phil Burton for Congress in the 5th dis¬ trict, Leo McCarthy for Lt.

Ruth Hastings & Sharon McNight - Will The Real Mother Please Stand Up? - One of them appears in a concert titled Mother Re¬ turns. The other appears in a concert that is Mother Re¬ turns. Both would pass a Truth in Packaging Act test over their titles, too. One of them is Sharon McNight. She’s been identi¬ fied with the Gay commu¬ nity and taken it to her ample bosom since she started singing. As an un¬ official figurehead, her title of “Mother” is both tongue- in-cheek, self-mockingly given and endearingly sec¬ onded and confirmed by her fans. The other is Ruth Hast¬ ings, who has risen through the same network of Gay clubs and fans as Sharon to her own headline status. Her position as Mother was solidified late last fall when she and her husband, per¬ former Craig Jessup, be¬ came the parents of Craig Jessup, Jr. These working mothers are back on our stages this month after long absences, and cabaret reviewer John F. Karr talked to them both. McNight By Day You might expect Sharon McNight’s home to resemble Hugh Hefner’s. Lavish parties overflowing from one day to the next, champagne sloshing in dozens of glasses and the top listed A names chatting up young celebs. But that cer¬ tainly wasn’t the picture when I visited Sharon last week, only several days after her return home. Awash in homesickness, she’d settled in like a roosting dove. Her home, a spacious Victorian flat on the hillside below Buena Vista Park with a panoramic view of the city and inner bay, was quiet. Clippings from her German tour covered the dining room table, and an anthology of American songs in German translation was on the piano. If Sharon’s going to spring “Twist and Shout” or “Cheek to Cheek” on us in German, it’ll have to wait. This week she’s glad to be home; next week she prepares for her welcome home bash, a two- show Mother’s Day concert at the Galleria produced by Conceptual Entertainment. 1 was incredulous to learn that she’d been gone for over six months, since October 1, 1981. “What did you do,” I asked, “hide away to bear my child?” Hardly hidden away and definitely not nursing our love child, Sharon had worked her way through Europe and won thousands of new fans. Germany thrives on maga¬ zines and newspapers, and the press there thrived on Sharon. A hot photo of Sharon in her black and red Miss Kitty dress appeared in dozens of papers while the headlines shrieked her name. “Naturegewalt uber Darm¬ stadt” — “A cyclone hits Darmstadt” — screamed the city paper where Sharon had to deliver a half hour of en¬ cores. “Ein Schamloses Wun- der” — “A shameless won¬ der” — was another tart headline. But Sharon’s favor¬ ite, and perhaps most accu¬ rate, was “Ein Vulkanaus- bruch” — “A Volcano Ex¬ ploding!” “Ein Schamloses Wunder” A curious, though not un¬ usual chain of coincidence was responsible for taking her to Germany. A German film¬ maker had included footage of Sharon in his documentary about San Francisco, The Melody of the City, which also included shots of Rosie Radiator and Luciano Pava¬ rotti. Sharon sang “San Fran¬ cisco, Bye Bye.” The produc¬ er liked her performance, and happened to be in town for her birthday concert in De¬ cember of 1980. He liked this even more, and asked her to appear on a nationally broad¬ cast New Year’s Eve show in Germany. Sharon, always quick to say “Yes” had to sing “San Francisco, Bye Bye” for real. On German television she was backed by a twenty-five piece orchestra and five danc¬ ing boys. She sang “Stand By Your Man” in German, and “Is It A Sin To Be In Love,” the biggest hit of beloved Continental star Zarah Lean- der. Sharon thought it was a serious song, and, apprehen¬ sive at performing something so well known in a language she didn’t know, was dis¬ traught when it was met by hysterical laughter at the show’s dress rehearsal. She asked why they laughed, and had to be told that Germans thought it a funny song. They adored .the tango rhythm she’d arranged it in, and the novelty caused a sensation. The television show spread her name and face across the country, and her appearances in Darmstadt, Hamburg, Ber¬ lin and Munich (at the “Lach und Schiessgesellschaft” — the Laugh and Shoot Down Society) were great successes. “I tried to be Charo,” said Sharon about communicating to her foreign audience. “I spoke a bastardized German, and did jokes in German, about the food, what it was like to be an ‘auslander,’ a for¬ eigner. I talked to people in the audience, with my same style, only slowed down. When I got back to New York it took me awhile to get back to the high gear I’m usually in.” But everyone takes English in school, and that helped a lot. “The Germans love a good time,” Sharon said. So they followed her high spirits easily. Sometimes they didn’t know English, and had differ¬ ent dialects of German than the one she knew. In Ham¬ burg they sat with their arms crossed, coldly judgmental. What was that like? “Interest¬ ing/’ she said drolly. “I just said to them in English, ‘Lis¬ ten, I’m gonna get you to un¬ fold your arms ’” On a side trip to Strasburg she sang for her supper in a Tex-Mex restaurant, and re¬ called, “Boy, they have some hot men in that town!” (Continued on next page) Hastings and Family Ruth Hastings has always resisted the star billing of her name alone. She continually stresses the importance, emo¬ tionally as well as artistically, of arranger and accompanist Barry Lloyd and harmonist- singer Craig Jessup. But now there’s another, and she may have to change the group’s name from “Ruth Hastings and Company” to “Ruth Hastings and Family.” Her son, Craig Jr., may not have been born in a trunk, but it looks like he sure is going to be raised in one. It’s coincidental tha( both Ruth and Sharon McNight were absent at the same time. While Sharon quipped, “Well, I thought I’d give someone else a chance,” Ruth didn’t have much choice in the matter. I explained to a questioning friend that Ruth was neither on tour nor in Europe, but in confinement. He was flabbergasted, thinking Ruth was in jail, while I laughed and explained the Victorian meaning of the term. By and large, it’s been a pretty well publicized baby. Over a hundred people who may never have heard of Ruth learned the name when Craig Jessup canceled a per¬ formance of By George even as the audience assembled so that he could be with his wife for the baby’s delivery. A show-biz baby can have a weird youth, but Ruth has firm ideas. She chose to be a performer, and chose to be¬ come a mother. She sees no reason why the two can’t be combined. “There’s no regularity to this way of life,” she admit¬ ted, but adroitly added, “so he’s just going to have to adapt.” “I decided I wasn’t going to change my life for this person, but it’s going to be interest¬ ing,” she admitted. “Also frightening. You can’t map out this type of life the way you could if you were a teach¬ er. But, frankly, I thrive on it.” Ruth’s vibrant performing personality and enthusiasm are apparent in her relation¬ ship with her child. “I don’t read the child rearing books,” she said, “because I don’t fit those molds.” But the bond¬ ing between child and both parents is obviously going to be strong. She laughs. “Last night we took the baby out at midnight so we could see the Black and White Ball. It was more fes¬ tive than being inside!” And the child is certainly sharing his parents’ art. “When we rehearse he sits in a little infant seat in front of us. He’ll see that performers are just people.” The effect of rehearsal watching goes fur¬ ther than that. Ruth joyously relates, “He’s just started talk¬ singing!” No “ma-ma” and “da-da” for this kid. The first time he addresses his mother with words, he’ll probably call her “Milofd!” (Continued on next page) A show-biz child? “He’s just going to have to adapt. ” BAY AREA REPORTER APRIL 29, 1982 PAGE 19 w ▼ LESE 0<4 M&hy. • • Oi*t LESBIAN/GAY FREEDOM DAY JUNE 27, 1982 SAN FRANCISCO 4599 18th Street 861-5404 General Membership Meeting, May 2, 5:30-7:30, May 16, 5:00-7:00 Bylaw Clean-up Women’s Building, 3543 18th Street Call for details on our slide show.

A similar jaunt to England resulted in her filling in for a canceled act at Harpoon Louie’s. “I had to sit down at the last minute and figure out some English jokes,’’ but at least the people spoke English. She finished February in Berlin, and played New York in March. Atlanta’s Plush Room followed before she came home, as happy as Dorothy Gale to wake up in her own bed. Tve been away for seven months!” she complained. “The road is boring, and I like to keep in touch. 1 want to play home.” I wouldn’t be surprised if that yen for home took Sharon back to some of the .small clubs she started in, but first she does her Mother’s Day concert, followed by a two-night Memorial Day ap¬ pearance at the Russian River. She’s got new material, including two Patsy Cline songs and Joe Cocker’s kick¬ ing “Lady, Put Out the Light.” One more thing was urgent to me — Sophie Tucker. Would the promised Tucker show arrive soon? “Poor Sophie,” moaned Sharon. “I was supposed to have it fin¬ ished when I left Europe. But you can’t take a typewriter to Europe!” So we’ll have to wait a little for old Soph. Meanwhile, it’s just great to know that we have Sharon back ... for awhile at least — in Septem¬ ber she returns to Germany for another three months! ■ Sister Boom Boom and the Reverend Mother Abbess (seen here at the Fabulous Follies of 1982) are busy announcing the Sisters’ Red Party. Mayor Feinstein told them, “When I see you, I see red.” Elaborating on the Mayor’s advice, the Sisters are offering for charitable causes — the Gay Olympics and the GGPA — a red hot dance party. Besides Sisterly antics, entertainment by a half-dozen performers will liven the dance, along with a full liquor bar run by the Tavern Guild. Laser lights and advanced sound enhance the music, and the party in the Victorian ballroom of the Russian Center, 2450 Sutter (at Divisadero) will be quite an extravaganza. $10 tickets at the door, party from 8 pm to 2 am, May 1. (Photo by Toni; Plewik) John F. Karr Hastings (Cont.) The picture of Ruth re¬ hearsing at home, a sheet of music in one hand, the other arm cradling a suckling infant, is beautiful. What a fortunate child, whose mother’s milk in¬ cludes the music of Piaf. Ruth speaks of her son and unintentionally quotes the French singer. “1 have no re¬ grets,” she says. It’s no wonder that Ruth should be purloining Piaf’s ex¬ pressions, for she’s once again performing an evening of songs connected with Edith Piaf and Jacques Brel. Al¬ though she returned to per¬ forming last month, the en¬ gagement was a brief two weeks and she was hardly back before it ended. The Piaf/Brel show will run at the Plush Room through May 29 and establishes her return firmly. The concert style pre¬ sentation, as opposed to an anthology of songs cabaret style, is particularly pleasing to her. “There’s "nothing 1 love more than a theatrical presen¬ tation, with a character, a script,” she says of the tightly knit Piaf and Brel evening. “It was harder for me to come back than 1 anticipat¬ ed,” she admitted. Although she had never stopped sing¬ ing and rehearsing, Ruth found she was petrified. “I had been so secluded with myself and the baby that it was a shock to be thrown back into the night life.” But she missed singing. “Nothing equals the perform¬ ance level. A rehearsal just doesn’t.” The result is that she’s thrilled to be back. “There’s no way 1 could do an impersonation of Piaf,” she says. “It’s out of the ques¬ tion. I try to share a spirit. I’m attracted to her not only be¬ cause of her theatrical way of presentation and her talent, but because of her material. She was so in touch with the right thing for her to do.” “The three of us feel such a passion for the music. It is a good mating of our talent to material; the songs are so gripping, dramatic.” “But we’ve changed the show drastically since we last did it. We’ve lifted it in spirit so it’s not all too serious.” Ruth mentions one quality of Piaf’s that matches her own traits and is probably the key to Ruth’s performance of Piaf songs. “Piaf,” says Ruth admiringly. “She had such an ability to love.” Ruth is not surprised that both she and Sharon have re¬ turned at the same time, and laughs to recall the earlier years when fans would con¬ fuse her with Sharon and call her by that name. It’s true that they’re both blondes, and both are Mothers, but by now they are each established in careers as different as day and night to not be confused. To help allay confusion, though, Ruth leaves on a six-month tour when the current en¬ gagement is finished, leaving the field (but not her baby who goes on tour, too) to Sharon. Before we part, she wants to make one important fact clear. “I wouldn’t be the focal point 1 am without Craig and Barry. This team is very spe¬ cial. It would be a sad and sorry state if that understand¬ ing, creativity and joy in working wasn’t there. ” ■ John F. Karr Mark Topkin reviews Ruth Hastings’ show on page 22.

Hustling Heroin (e) German Style by Steve Warren The newest cliche of inter¬ national filmmaking is, “If your picture’s in trouble get David Bowie.” Whether he’s plodding somnabulistically through the lead of Just A Gigolo or just singing behind the closing credits of Cat Peo¬ ple, the sylphlike androgyne draws a cult that will gladly be ripped off by anything with his name on it. Bowie’s “special participa¬ tion” is, however, doubly ap¬ propriate to the new film Christiane F. He appears briefly in a concert scene and his music accurately under¬ scores the lives of the teen¬ agers whose true story this is. Someday when everyone is hooked on heroin, Chris¬ tiane F. may be recalled as the Reefer Madness of its day. For now, while it occa¬ sionally smacks (pun intend¬ ed) of didactic hysteria, it’s a hard hitting look at a problem more widespread than most of us dare or care to think. Not getting enough atten¬ tion from her divorced, work¬ ing mother, 13-year-old Christiane falls in with “bad companions.” From drinking cherry juice at a discotheque that plays only Bowie records it’s a natural progression to pills and heroin, stealing and streetwalking to support her habit. She also falls in love with Detlev, a slightly older boy who teaches her the ropes. He hustles but rationalizes that he only jerks off his cli¬ ents and is never excited by it. At no time are drugs made to look attractive. Burned out addicts warn those who would imitate them that they’ll be dead in a year. Yet there’s no escape. In an early scene Christiane follows Detlev and his friends to the rest room where they’ve gone to shoot up. A large silver “H” on the door seems to shimmer in the light. It stands for “Herren" (men) but to Christiane it means Heroin. It’s hard to get off and easy to get back on, we’re told re¬ peatedly in scenes that ring far truer than Jill Clayburgh’s bout with valium in I’m Dan¬ cing as Fast as I Can. The only hope is that the real Christiane survived to tell her story. The cast of non-actors (and non-junkies) performs with startling realism, guided by debuting director Ulrich Edel and aided by makeup and lighting which emphasize the toll the drugs have taken. Natja Brunkhorst (Christiane) and Thomas Haustein (Det- liv) head the list of faces that will haunt you long after you leave the theatre. Christiane F. has an “R” rating, of course, to bar the young people who need to see it. I hope the Lumiere will be no more vigilant in their enforcement than the theatres that show mind numbing hor¬ ror flicks. I don’t think I’ll ever walk down Polkstrasse (How fitting the Germanicized name sud¬ denly seems!) again without being reminded of Christiane F. (The Lumiere) ■ DINER Fills Without Refreshing by Steve Warren Of the 1982 releases which have had any potential worth living up to, so far only Miss¬ ing has realized its full poten¬ tial. The latest disappointment, despite a lot to recommend it, is Diner, Barry Levinson’s re¬ call of growing up in the 50’s. Considering that writer- director Levinson co¬ authored.. .and Justice for All, one of the last movies containing a Gay suicide, Diner’s producer and execu¬ tive producer were involved with Cruising and star Steve Guttenberg was in the closet epic Can’t Stop the Music, we’re lucky that there were no Gay people in Baltimore in 1959 for this picture to deal with. The guys it does deal with are in their 20’s. One is mar¬ ried and another about to be, but they leave their women behind to hang out together all night every night (or so it appears) at the local diner. Some of the characters and situations are interesting, but Levinson has trouble fol¬ lowing through, whether to punch up a joke or resolve a situation. For someone who worked on two films with Mel Brooks he has little concep¬ tion of what is funny or how to communicate humor to an audience. The most success¬ ful laugh getter is a scene in which Mickey Rourke tries to win a bet by getting his date to touch his cock. The background is unnatu¬ rally quiet in most scenes in public places. The diner’s jukebox may be playing — softly — but there’s never a hum of conversation, even from the next booth. The res¬ taurant fails to take on a life of its own, as Mel’s did in Amer¬ ican Graffiti (against which all films of this genre are weighed and found wanting). Also strange is the fact that most of the young men wear coats and ties all the time. The music of the period is treated at length, in the dia¬ logue and on the soundtrack; but we don’t hear any of the top ten songs of the specific week of the story, and the local trivia expert is wrong about the color of the Rou¬ lette label on a Jimmy Bowen record. My favorite character (read “my type”) is Fenwick (Kevin Bacoii), whose tragic path to self destruction is convenient¬ ly forgotten as the film glides to a happy ending. For all the uncertain direc¬ tion, sloppy editing and other faults, Diner manages to pro¬ vide quite a bit of entertain¬ ment. It should have been so much more, but at least it’s the best picture to come out of Baltimore since Polyester.

In Chicago, over $5000 in prizes including a new motor- winner of the most prestigious title in all leatherdom. The hotels closest to the action are booked solid, the booze will be flowing and leathermen from all over the world will convene once again to wit¬ ness one of the most spectac¬ ular events ever staged for the Gay world’s least understood sub-culture. The $25 package for the entire weekend includes a ticket to the con¬ test, the Black & Blue Ball, several cocktail parties and discount & freebie tickets to many of Chicago’s most excit¬ ing pubs and businesses. A highlight of the weekend will be the Full Moon Leather Party on Friday night, May 7th at the TOUCH, Chuck Rodocker’s lively and leathery bistro, among the most popu¬ lar in the Windy City. San Francisco’s leather bars have all chipped in to stage the opening event of the week¬ end with their San Francisco in Chicago cocktail party in the Pit at the GOLD COAST, where a strict leather dress code is enforced. I’ll be re¬ porting live from the scene and wish you could all be on hand for the festivities. From my past experience with this spleatherific event, I can say that the finest of lea¬ ther men from throughout the world will be competing in Chicago. The judges also are selected because of their affili¬ ations in the leather zones of the world. It is a monumental task for them to pick the man on whom to.bestow the title. When all is said and done, you will be the first to know. My best wishes and good luck to all the guys from San Fran¬ cisco when they go mano in the big leather at Chicago.

It’s refreshing to see the men and women of the community get along so well. My old buddies from LA will just die when they see me in the parade this June instead of just watching.” “Then you’ll join?” “Yeah, I’ll try it.” “Good. . now what can you bake? No Bonnie Hubbard stuff this time—we’re competing with Mrs. Fields up the street. . . And no cruising until every bun is bought, either . . . God, wait until I tell Clara what I’ve done this time. She’ll really be surprised...” Ron Kraus ■ (Continued from previous page) wishes are extended for con¬ tinued success... Bob Golovich (producer of the Closet Ball) proved he’s no piker either and in celebra¬ tion of his 60th birthday, he had the good taste to fly around 33 people to Reno for the celebration on Sunday, April 18th. Don’t forget the Closet Ball is scheduled for Sat., May 15th at the Japan Center Theatre, an event I started 10 years ago and which still flourishes as one of the campiest events to come along. A huge gang convened at Sutter’s Mill for a 3-hour cock¬ tail party on THEM by the management and staff and everyone had a great time according to sources closest to the highest level of IN-ness; but that’s not the story. The story is that the Mill’s hand¬ somest bartender George Lowe (rhymes with Noe), that same night, made his Maiden Voyage to the South of Mar¬ ket area in FULL leather (I mean, he was DRENCHED in it) and some of his sur¬ prised customers spotting him in the EAGLE asked him if he didn’t feel a little uncomfort¬ able (in leather?) Snapped -George: “Not nearly as un¬ comfortable as when I’m in a sequined dress!” Sam and Jim, owners of the RUSSIAN RIVER LODGE at the RushRiv want you.to know that their estab¬ lishment has NOT been sold and definitely not to a disco- teer... Empress Mae’s crown is barely warm on his head and already persons are jock¬ eying for a position in the run¬ ning next Feb., the main con¬ tender at this point being FRANCESCA (the Bigger Bird) at the RAILWAY EX¬ PRESS ... Look for a splashy dance routine tonight at the I- Beam with Mr. Drummer Ray Perea cavorting onstage with the Patrick Cowley Singers... The moon entered LEO at 12:10 today and it’s also the birthdates of Duke Ellington, Celest Holm, William Ran¬ dolph Hearst and Emperor Hirohito. The zipper was patented this day in 1913 and the newest issue of HON¬ CHO Magazine is on the newsstands with the current International Mr. Leather, Marty Kiker, on the cover and a photo spread that is just flawless... This is also Nation¬ al Dance Week so hit your favorite disco and dance your tush off if you get the urge. What next? Now we’ve got our own vitamins designed to aid and enhance the lifestyle of the sexually active male. They’re called HIM (Health & Immunity for Men) and contain all sorts of goodies that keep you UP (down there), have a deterrent ingre¬ dient to fight Herpes, help you become immune to fight infection and prevent the aging process at the cellular level. They’re available at $25 for a 30-day supply at Au Na- turel and Body Boosters on Upper Market, the Good Pro¬ vider on Castro and at Seeds of Life on Haight. Some en¬ terprising leather stores on Folsom should be stocking them soon. Believe, me life in the fast lane may be fun, but it does take its toll. Once you lose your health, you have absolutely nothing. Recom¬ mend you at least check out this new product. Take a treat now instead of a treatment later. LAST MINUTE FLASHES: The delightful art work of E.G. Burns opened at the AMBUSH this past Monday and will hang on their walls until May 18th . . . Jim Ostlund of CASTRO STA¬ TION recuperating at Mt. Zion; Empress Mae recuper¬ ating from an appendectomy; Danny Burns and Michael Maletta hospitalized at SF Gen, so best wishes for a speedy recovery to all of them ... Don’t forget the Inter- Club’s 1982 Progressive Din¬ ner & Blood Run next Friday. Pay $5 or a pint of blood, check in at 6:30 at the SF- Eagle and dine quite elegantly at the Ambush, Arena, Eagle, Ramrod, Stables and Water¬ ing Hole, a benefit for Gary Kenyon’s group and the com¬ munity at large. Be kind to everyone; people need a little loving and God, sometimes it’s sad all the shit they have to go through to find some. Stay tuned for all the latest in Chi¬ cago. MR.

PORN CORNER Scorpio and Garrett — Sex That’s Low and Slick A guy’s got to be up on his toes to keep up with the Screening Room. Movies ca¬ reen in and out of the place every week. Without some foreknowledge of what’s new in porno, local premieres of major events tend to get buried along with welcome reruns, older classics and the occasional jetsam that such a rapid turnover of flicks will uncover. A case in point was last week’s bill, which headlined a brand new film, Boots and Saddles, in its West Coast premiere. I’ve been dripping in anticipation since I saw the ads for its New York run sev¬ eral months ago. The movie stars Scorpio and Roy Garrett and I can’t think of a more potentially potent coupling. 1 had also looked forward to baiting the factions who closed down the Gay Olympic fundraiser screening of Olympia because of its Nazi connections. The ads and logo for Boots and Sad¬ dles proclaim, “The Cowboy, the Hustler, the Bartender, the Kid, the Nazi . . . they all meet at . . . Boots and Saddles.” Let them picket this one, I thought. But the Screening Room doesn’t use ads developed by marketing people., and this copy was not seen in San Francisco. B&S was written and di¬ rected by Francis Elhe, a film¬ maker with an erratic track record. On earlier occasions I’ve written about Ellie’s ill- conceived plots and un¬ KARR healthy notions. Navy Blue dwelt lengthily on what a con¬ temporary man unnecessarily goes through to conceal his Gayness, while the plot of Killing Me Softly was twist¬ ed. This concerned a psy¬ chotic young man who was driven to kill his sex partners. It did not make for arousing viewing to know that the per¬ son you were currently get¬ ting off on was going to be strangled post-orgasm. I was apprehensive that Ellie would be similarly convoluted with a Nazi character, and to some extent my expectations were met. The questionable material occurs only in the last several moments of the film and the sex footage before that is of unusually high quality. Arousal was quick and long- lasting. To my disappoint¬ ment, Roy Garrett is not cou¬ pled with Scorpio, a missed opportunity of grievous pro¬ portions. Another irritation is the soundtrack, which fre¬ quently assumed we were lip readers. Jack Wrangler picks up Bob, a businessman type with thick black hair and a black moustache. Bob is not a very good cocksucker, so Jack brings himself to an exhaust¬ ive JO climax, his cock as hard, broad and healthy as ever. He next fucks Bob with the drive of a jackhammer. Bob, however, sees a letter from the VD Clinic and be¬ lieves Jack has given him the clap. He rushes out, and heads for a popular bar, Boots and Saddles, where he drinks himself cross-eyed. The bartender jealously eyes his lover who is cruising customer Roy Garrett. Their pick-up is a crotch groping, cock swelling, silent affair. Their torrid love-making is # accompanied by some gloss- * ily superficial disco, but their sex is man-to-man. After a brief fling in the john they move to a back stairway where they strip. The flover has a foreskin and a tight cockring, a handsome face and a masculine attitude. Garrett is a natural wonder. He looks like he’s been pumping iron recently. The beauty of his shoulders and biceps invokes the sort of dumbfounded admiration usually reserved for Garbo’s cheekbones. His entire body is divinity, thick yet taut. The stomach is solid washboard, the tits are exquisitely sculpt¬ ed. His cock swells as he grasps it tight around the base. There’s a fine view of the lover slowly lowering him¬ self onto it, followed by a stir¬ ring and sweaty fuck. Garrett fucks like Sportin’ Life pimps, which is to say he’s the lowest and the slickest. This is a wicked fuck. I can feel it as I write. ' Garrett next lies on the stairs and his buddy straddles his body, jerking off slowly above Garrett’s face, pausing to push just his cockhead be¬ tween Garrett’s lips. The en¬ tire sequence is stunning, the men superb, and the lighting and camerawork excellent. The bartender is furious with his cheating lover, and hauls him upstairs for another furious fuck. He’s dark, Medi¬ terranean, hung in extremis. He fucks with spite before re- I nUN°L! QPlI* BOB S BAZAAR APRIL 29, 1982 PAGE 28 Sorry - there are no pictures for BOOTS AND SADDLES. But how about an archival shot of 18 year old Jim Stryker? He was the biggest male- mag star in 1962. ceiving some excellent head from his wayward man. Back in the bar we find Scorpio just leaving with the drunken Bob. Bob’s so high he doesn’t notice the Nazi decorations in Scorpio’s apartment, and he can’t hear the ominous music on the soundtrack. Only we know he’s in for trouble. And Scor¬ pio does treat him rough, as only Scorpio can. First, though, Bob goes down on Scorpio and I learned the meaning of envy. When Bob sees the Nazi relics and wants to leave, Scorpio overpowers and binds him. He dons some blackly liquid leather and plays the Nazi pervert to the hilt. He works Bob over rude¬ ly. Succulent ass-eating pre¬ cedes Scorpio’s probing fin¬ gers and searching tongue. Although rousingly aggres¬ sive, it’s hardly scary or even dangerous to Bob, so the plot is shot. Director Ellie then de¬ stroys the emphatic fuck Scorpio is throwing Bob by playing Dietrich’s German re¬ cording of “Mean To Me” on the soundtrack. I’m sure they thought it ironic and sophisti¬ cated, but it ruins a dynamite scene. Scorpio gags Bob and spanks him with a paddle but Jack Wrangler arrives, like the U.S. Cavalry, in the nick of time. He sets Bob free, de¬ stroys the Nazi relics, and sits Scorpio down on a candle for a cruel S&M finale. He’s left on the floor, writhing in pain, in what Ellie probably viewed as just desserts. 1 found it mean. But it didn’t damage my memory of the four pre¬ ceding sex scenes, each high- power turn-ons with an emphasis on fucking. Hopefully, the Screening Room will realize it has a good new movie on its hands and bring it back soon. ★ ★ ★ Good news! Arriving at the Screening Room on May 14 for a two week run is the S.F. premiere of a new film, Deep Thrust. Starring heartthrob Jim King along with cuties Chris Burns, Jim Curry and Greg Gale it’s something to look forward to. It’s preceded by Red Hanky Left and Yel¬ low Hanky Left (April 30 - May 6, but view at your own discretion) and Flesh and Fantasy with Pieces of Eight (May 7-13). ■ TONEDEAF (Continued from Page 23) phone lights up every five seconds. But watching him in his work situation gives a good impression of a man who truly enjoys what he is doing. But then who wouldn’t? Listening to Kellman ply his craft at negotiations for a pos¬ sible appearance by a real life rock hero sure beats the hell out of talking to a computer from nine to five. PETE SHELLEY The upcoming Pete Shelley show must truly represent the club’s balance which Kellman is so proud of, for Shelley symbolizes the finely honed mixture of a rock/disco Gay/ straight sound. Shelley’s “Homosapien” single last year has been one of the most successful songs to lyrically portray Gay coup¬ ling without alienating the straight rock audience.
