Entertainment makes an unusual Christmas gift, but one remembered a lot longer than a blow-drier or • ski hat. And tickets to a good movie or play mean more when the giver comes with the-deal. Contrary to popular belief, high quality entertainment can befound all over the city—especially at this time of the year* Take a friend to the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre's production of "A Christmas Carol." Tickets available at the Pabst Theater, range from $3.50 to $9. Students' and senior citi­ zens' tickets cost $1 less than the regular price. You may charge tickets with MasterCard or Visa by calling 271-1653. The play runs from Dec.4-28. Order early though. The "Christmas Carol" is a favorite and tickets go quickly. Season tickets to the Rep or the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra are another, good gift-giving idea.

"Most cassettes are afraid of me? -Stevie Wonder-

A lot of cassette makers have probably considered asking Stevie's opinion about their performance. But he's such a perfectionist, they may have been scared off. Stevie won't make excuses for a cassette. He wants big studio sound out of it. And for many cassettes, thafs asking a lot. Not for TDK SA. The surface of this high bias tape is packed with a specially treated particle called Super Avilyn. With it, TDK has revolutionized the way you hear recorded cassette music. No rock is too hot to handle. Classical music keeps all its dynamic range, jazz sizzles without a hiss. There's headroom for ali the challenge and drama of music. And all the delicate overtones in between. Stevie says, ""It's a little music machine that delivers the best sound, for its size, I've ever heard." And TDK SAwill keep delivering.* Its 250 components go through thousands of checks. There are 1,117 check­ points for the shell alone. It was 1,060, but our engineers never stop making improvements. Which is what you'd expect from a perfectionist.

* In the unlikely event that any TDK cassette ever fails to perform due to a defect in materials or workman­ ship simply return it to your local dealer or to TDK for a free replacement. ,r^x,^\ sv w f/USAI

BERT: Oh. Mom! You always have to spoil everything! This translated into a Clio-winning spot for Welch's cranberry cocktail, in which WOMAN: You could at least send a card on Mother's Day. Dick asks the grocer where he can find the "grand bunnies." Bert sees the list and ANNOUNCER: Dick Orkin and Bert Berdis. They're turning into household words corrects him: "That's cranberries."

Mom. he's Dick; you named me Bert, remember? This sort of nonsense began when a mutual friend introduced Bert, a writer producer for a Chicago ad agency, to Dick, who was doing commercial voice work in the area. Bert hired Dick to do some commercials, they hit it oft": Bert quit the agency: and. as legend has it, went into Dick's office, lay down on the carpet and refused to move until he figured out what to do with his career. When Dick got tired of stepping over the body, a comedy team was born. The duo did well their first few years together but didn't really take off until 19~S, when staid old Time magazine decided to gamble on a softer media image. The maga­ zine's corresponding jump in advertising and readership convinced others that funny radio spots could get attention. Suddenly, Dick and Bert were the darlings of Madison Avenue. Their move to Hollywood in 19~8 didn't exactly hurt business, but they've yet to prove they can make it in television. Their first try. with an ill fated series called America Alive, never got off the ground. Currently they do their thing on The Iim Conway Show, where they wasted no time going after their own industry. In one advertising parody, they play two plastered civil servants who enjoy "Killer" beer while painting lane dividers down the middle of the highway. "Ah, you paint tor a Bert is on the living." the announcer intones, "and at the end of that long road . . ." Meanwhile, their left, which dotted yellow line is weaving in circles, and cars have begun crashing into trees at the must mean side of the road. that the guy Its a funny bit. but whether or not it's enough to keep network executives satisfied on the right is Dick. remains to be seen. Despite Bert's tongue-in-check approval of their time slot (What else would you be doing at eight o'clock on a Saturday night?"), the program has already been trimmed from an hour to 30 minutes, and Conway himself jokes that it may be back next season as a 30-second newsbreak. Though they relish the chance to bring their characters to life in a different Dick and Bert don't need a radio ad to promote their booming business, but if they medium.
