KEEPING UP: A Select Guide to Entertainment in Dallas

Go Forth on the Fourth

For 199 years now, people have been celebrating the Fourth of July. And for almost as many years, they’ve been spending the fifth of July nursing sunburns, scratching bug-bites, and smearing Unguentine on powder burns left by stray firecrackers. This year, we thought you might like a handy guide to some safe, sane and supervised Independence Day activities.

A Dallas Bi-Centennial Celebration, co-sponsored by the Park Central Company and the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce, takes place from 10 a.m. until dark on July 4 and 5 in the 12 acres surrounding the Olla Podrida, 12215 Coit Rd. A parade opens the festival on the Fourth, and groups and individuals-riding clubs, bicycle clubs, Girl and Boy Scout troops, twirlers, bands, veterans’ groups, and so on – are urged to enter. (Entrance forms available from Steve Simmons, 745-2191.) At the end of the parade there will be a flag-raising ceremony and addresses by Congressman Jim Collins and Mayor Wes Wise. Throughout both days, there will be entertainment, such as square dancing, fiddling, barbershop quartets, band concerts, and balloon races. Booths will be provided for artists and craftsmen to display their wares. (Groups interested in performing should contact Steve Simmons, 745-2191, while artists interested in display booths should call Carol Kimberly, 239-8541.) Special activities for children include a petting zoo, midway-type games, sports competitions, pony rides, and horseshoes, kite flying, and relay races. Food concession stands will be available. Admission is $1 for adults; children free if accompanied by an adult, 50￠ if unaccompanied.

Bicycle races-the Second Annual Tour of University Park-will be held at Williams Park, 3800 McFarlin Blvd, from noon to 2 p.m. on the Fourth. Nationally-known junior and senior riders will participate. The event is sponsored by the Dallas Bicycle Racing Club and is held under the sanction of the Amateur Bicycle League of America. Admission is free. For more information, call Paul Brauchle, 638-5921. The event is part of the annual Park Cities festivities, which include an informal parade in the morning featuring an antique (1921-vintage) fire engine.

Stagecoach rides will be among the features of the Oak Cliff Jaycees’ 4th of July celebration at Kiest Park, from noon to midnight. Carnival rides and concessions, American history expositions, arts and crafts displays, and even a free blood-typing unit will be available. The festivities will conclude with a show of $2500 worth of fireworks.

Open House at the Dallas Woman’s Forum, 4607 Ross, will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on July 3, 4, 5, and 6. The building dates from 1906; once the scene of glittering social events, it has been furnished in the style of its original grandeur. Tours will be followed by a short dramatic performance, and tea and coffee will be served by members of the Dallas Woman’s Forum dressed in turn-of-the-century costume. Admission free.

Dallas Bicentennial Airshow, sponsored by the Richardson Jaycees, will be held at Lancaster Airport, Belt Line and Ferris Rd, on July 4, 5, and 6 from 1 to 4 p.m. The event will feature the U. S. Navy Blue Angels, the U. S. Army Silver Eagle Helicopter Team, the U. S. Army Golden Knight Parachute Team, the world champion Red Devils aerobatic team, the Bede 5 Civilian Jet Demonstration Team, and the Walt and Sandi Pierce Wing-Walking Act.

The rockets’ red glare will be seen over Fair Park on the nights of both the 3rd and the 4th. It’s the largest fireworks display in Texas, and it’s held in the Cotton Bowl. Entertainment starts at 8 p.m. On the 3rd, kids from the recreation programs of the Parks and Recreation Department put on their parade, with decorated bikes, tricycles, little floats, costumes, and so on. Prizes will be awarded just before the parade starts. On both nights, there will be performances by the Harmony and Understanding group from Tyler Junior College, the Gyros Gymnastic Drill Team, and the 4th Marine Air Wing Drum and Bugle Corps from New Orleans. The fireworks go on when it gets really dark.



If you’re making a weekend of it, and happen to be down Austin way, you might drop in on Willie Nelson’s third annual Fourth of July Picnic at Liberty Hill. Entertainment will be provided by Nelson, the Pointer Sisters, Kris Kristof-ferson and Rita Coolidge, the Charlie Daniels Band, Rusty Wier, and lots of others. To get there, take Interstate 35 to Highway 29 near Georgetown, then go west on 29 to Highway 183. Then follow the signs. Tickets are $5.50 at Preston Ticket Agency, 363-9311, or $7.50 at the gate on the day of the picnic.

Bicentennial Ideas

Our national birthday -the start of our two hundredth year-occurs in only a few weeks. Believing that Dallasites are more energetic than other, and lesser, breeds of Americans, we herein present thirteen unique suggestions for the celebration of the Event in spectacular style. Put away those firecrackers, friends – it’s time to show a little originality!

1. The Bicentennial Personalized CarBally. Fill up your car with 50-cent per gallon gasoline (a penny for every state) anddrive exactly 200 miles. This will put you -depending on which way you choose to exitDallas – exactly 41 miles from Houston,96 miles from Port Arthur or 436 miles fromEl Paso, just to mention a few places youwon’t be when you complete your celebratoryjourney.

2. The SO States Scavenger Party. Inviteyour guests with specific instructions: eachmust bring along an object representing aparticular state. Assign states, so everyone won’t show up with Idaho potatoes.

3. A People From the Original 13 Colonies Party. Invite your friends and tell them to bring someone who was born in, or has lived in, or went to school in one of the original colonies. If a real colonial can’t be found, just about any ole damned Yankee will do.

4. The Great Bicentennial Film Festival

Organize a 50-film festival, one for each of the states, showing Hollywood’s view of the USA. You could show North to Alaska (John Wayne, 1960); Arizona (Jean Arthur, 1940); California (Barbara Stanwyck, 1946); Colorado Territory (Joel McCrea, 1949): A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (Bing Crosby, 1949); Florida Special (Jack Oakie, 1936); Hawaii, (Julie Andrews, 1966); Abe Lincoln in Illinois (Raymond Massey, 1940); The Kansan (Richard Dix, 1943); Kentucky (Loretta Young, 1933); Louisiana Purchase (Bob Hope, 1941); Maryland (Walter Bren-nan, 1940); The Michigan Kid (Jon Hall, 1947); Mississippi (W. C. Fields, 1935); The Missouri Traveler (Lee Marvin, 1958); Montana (Errol Flynn, 1950); The Nebraskan (Phil Carey, 1953); Nevada (Robert Mit-chum, 1944); New Mexico (Lew Ayres, 1951); New York Confidential (Broderick Crawford, 1955); Carolina Cannonball (Judy Canova, 1955); Dakota (John Wayne, 1945); Oklahoma! (Gordon MacRae, 1955); The Oregon Trail (Fred MacMurray, 1959); Tennessee Johnson (Van Heflin, 1942); Texas (William Holden, 1941); Utah Blaine (Rory Calhoun, 1957); Virginia (Madeleine Carroll, 1941); and Wyoming (Wallace Beery, 1940); With that much help you can do Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin on your own.

5. Bicentennial Dinner Party. You canhave your Revolution and eat it, too. Servea 13-course dinner with each course representing – what else? – one of the colonies orone of their famous cities. For example, youmight begin with Rhode Island Red chicken(Rhode Island was the last colony to ratifythe Constitution) or Virginia ham, followedwith Maryland soft shell crab. For dessert,consider Georgia peaches and Philadelphiacream cheese. Naturally, you would serveNew York State wine and offer cigars madefrom Carolina tobacco. Top it off with Boston cream pie and Texas-size doses of Alka-Seltzer.

6. Namesake’s Street Party. If you live ona street named for one of the 50 states, organize a neighborhood bash and/or garage salearound a theme related to that state. (Residents of Texas Avenue in Oak Cliff are disqualified.)

7. Ail-American Physical Fitness TestCan you walk a block for every state in theunion? How about 200 blocks, one for everyyear of the Republic? No? Well, can you doit on a bike? No? Maybe you’d like to try …

8. Most Frustrating Bicentennial PartyGame. Set a timer for thirty minutes. Handout paper and pencils to your guests. At thesound of the bell, they are to list the fiftystates in the Union. No consultation, hinting,geography books, etc., allowed. Our guess is that by the end of the time limit, nobody will have succeeded and everybody will be ready for a drink. (If, by blind luck, somebody does succeed, let him occupy the remaining time by listing the capitals alongside their respective states.)

9. Least Frustrating Bicentennial PartyGame. Divide your guests into two teams forRevolutionary War charades. Topics mustdeal exclusively with events related to theWar for Independence. Sure, some will beeasy (Betsy Ross sewing the flag, Washington crossing the Delaware, Benedict Arnoldturning his coat). But some might prove atrifle difficult. Try, for example, to enactthe takeover of Fort Ticonderoga, Tom Painewriting Common Sense, or Molly Pitcherleading the troops at the Battle of Mon-mouth.

10. Bicentennial Costume Ball. This isso obvious that we’re a little surprised wehaven’t already received twenty or so invitations from different charities. If you’rethinking it might be fun to try, we suggestone restriction: not everyone can come asGeorge and Martha Washington. Again, werecommend assignments, only we pity thepoor folks who are told to come as WilliamHenry Harrison, Millard Fillmore, Mrs.Ulysees S. Grant, or Barbara Fritchie.

11. Bicentennial Spiritual Exercise. Memorize the entire text of Patrick Henry’sSpeech in Virginia Convention, St. John’sEpiscopal Church, Richmond, 1775. Practiceevery morning beginning on July 4, 1975.Deliver with great fervor at your neighborhood celebration on July 4, 1976. You oughtto be pretty good.

12. Bicentennial Poetry Exercise. Compose an Ode to the Bicentennial in 50 quatrains (for the states), which equals 200 lines(for the yeare), in hypermetrical iambic hexameter, which is 13 syllables (for the colonies).Because the editors firmly believe this to bean admirable, albeit impossible, venture, a$25 cash prize will be awarded to the besteffort received in our offices.

13. One if by land, two if by sea, and threefor the pure rebel hell of it. A BicentennialBeer-Drinking Contest.

Questionable casting – Shelley Winters, Peter Falk, (as a Parisian police chief!), Lee Grant, Ruby Dee, and Leonard Nimoy – for Jean Genet’s play about life in – and Life as – a brothel.

Rascal: A Disney feature-length live-action film about a raccoon.

The Learning Tree: Not for the very young – hence the PG caution – but a beautifully photographed film about a young black growing up in Kansas. Directed by Gordon Parks, who wrote the autobiographical novel on which the film is based.

June 20: The Philadelphia Story (1940). They don’t make them like this anymore, probably because we don’t have a young Katharine Hep-bum, Cary Grant, or Jimmy Stewart, and even if we did, we don’t have George Cukor in his prime to direct them. If you’ve never seen it, head for the Turnpike.

June 28: Grand Hotel (1932). If the plot palls, you can always sit there and wonder what’s holding up Greta Garbo’s dress, why the vibrant Joan Crawford of the Thirties turned into the suffering matron of the Forties, why people thought John and Lionel Barrymore were great actors instead of juicy hams, and a hundred other diverting speculations. Strictly for escape. July 12: All About Eve (1950). Yummy! Never were Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders, Celeste Holm, or Thelma Ritter better than this. It’s the Great American Melodrama.
