Instead of killing Dan White, our community should be using him . . . as an example of a judicial system that sometimes goes haywire, as proof of the anti-gay savagery that too often roams our city, as evidence of the unfair double standard that gay men and lesbians have to constantly endure. To "off White” is to achieve some momentary satisfaction for ‘Off White' is Off Base revenge, which will most certainly be followed by increased homophobia by the local police department certainly, but by large segments of the by Gary Schweikhart sometimes-sympathetic straight community as well.

Boom Boom: “We should be very forgiving — especially of any weak soul that in a weak moment decides, to shoot Dan White." While this remark was applauded, when Supervisor Carol Ruth Silver separated herself from the "off White” fever, she was soundly booed.

¿i;í^Uoac% iMaüML ‘Rites of Spring’ Reprise: Gay Men Dancing Interview: Vivian Blaine “You look terrific!" I exclaim. "Thank you” says VIVIAN BLAINE. “I’ve been under ice since four o’clock.” Oh, yeah, this is my kind of lady, I think. She affirms that feeling with — "I don’t take myself too seriously and I don’t take life too seriously." Onstage and off, Vivian Blaine will be the first to poke fun at herself. In her West Coast debut at The Plush Room thru this Sunday night, she wends her musical way through some great special material, a cornucopia of Broadway showtunes, and recalls her early roots on the soundstages of 20th Century Fox. As we sit puffing madly on our respective cigarettes, copper-red hair encased in a cloud of smoke with twinkling blue eyes peering through the haze (hers, not mine), little Vivian Sarah Stapleton of Neward, New Jersey looks back at those frightening early days. She was a local band singer at age eleven, was offered her first marijuana at age thirteen (which she refused), and was signed by Fox immediately upon graduating high school. "I was there for a year before I did anything. The caste system was still very much in.effect, so the only person to say helio to me was the guard at the front gate. My take-home pay was $88, not bad for a kid just out of high school.” She really didn’t enjoy her six years as a movie star. “I was just too frightened. I was a chubette, to put it mildly, and I’d had no formal training. And when I left, I hadn't learned anything about me.” But while making movies like State Fair, Three Little Girls in Blue, Jitterbugs with Laurel and Hardy, Something for the Boys with Carmen Miranda and Nob Hill, she got to know all three of Fox’s money-making blonde stars. Blaine and Betty Grable "were_never introduced at Fox. We got to be friends after we both left. Absolutely marvelous lady! And r ^yon know, that story about her and Marilyn [Monroe] is true. When they ? brotbrought Marilyn in to threaten Betty [//tw to Marry A Millionaire], Betty said to Marilyn, ‘I have mine; you go and get yours.’ ” Grable was Monroe’s biggest booster, the two becoming good friends during filming. Then there was reigning queen Alice Faye. "Sweet. Very shy, within herself, just a dear, dear person. When J got there, she had already had it. f \ She just wanted to put her feet up and relax.” Lest you think they were all too, too wonderful, let us mention June Haver.
