HAPPINESS IS DEAN MARTIN Singing "Lay Some Happiness on Me" And Other Selected Hoop-Las DEAN MARTIN: LOBJET DART POPULAIRE Aesthetically, he ends up somewheres between 39's Mickey Mouse Watch and Lichtenstein s nosseroic painting "Tuke Thual .… Pow!" A little camp, perhaps, but 100 much of our current action really to rate thaz high on the Camp Charts. Put him more in the Hula Hoop-Silser Mini-Skin "Chelses Cirio". William Manchester bag. That is to say, awfully cele-brated right now, not to mention being hellishly good examples of whatever they 're driving at. Nothing, for example, is more huls hoop than a Pink Plastic 1960 Hula Boop. Nothing is more Dean Martin than Dean Martin. Of course, doing a really preposterously good job of being Dean Martin depends a lot on knowing the rules about what makes the best Dean Martin. Kuowing the arcbetypal defnition of Martinism: How is he different? Why is he individual? What is te driving al? What Dean Martin is driving at ecems to be to lend a Lifo Of Sloth. A Lite of EPIC Sloth. Not just your common little ol' Sunday afternoon lozy Sloth, like you get with minor Erkine Caldwell Georgia darlins. No, Martin now epitomizes EPIC SLOTH. Sloth like Joseph E. Levine would come up with. In big, 3-D letters, like in those Ben Hur movie ads, with all forma of EPIC EXHAUSTION draped over the letters, "Epic Sloth"" star-ring Dean Martin, and then running around the botlom, instead of Mongol hordes und Jack Palance you find other things, for this is "Epic Sloth"" Things Tike dellited inmerubes, Like the ears of sleeping Spanicls. Like Kleenex ashes. Like all of Life's Most Unresilient Stuff. And thore, leannd up in Herculean Scope against those giant letters, our Pop Star elumpa. Dean Martin, Kind of halkeyed looking out at you, grinning "Hi ya, pally" like he hopes you haven't got anything heavy on your mind, Dean Martéo han been working at becoming an Epie Pop Ant Object, He o been getting in a good deal of pop art hypnotizing. Avis knows, you don't Bet to be Number One by just sitting round. Some detracters have published this about Martin: that he sits round, trying to make spagheui look tense. "Pish ta" we say, and "Yollow jourualiar?' You hase to pulliciza lo ger to be Our National Epie Sloth. Martin has. His medium, the best popular art object of Our Times, neuning., your television set.

"Amos 'N Andy's" Lightnin, for instance, now is largely forgot. Shiftless and No-Account has moved to Beverly Hille, where dey got no deltas, chile. The other competition - those slothy Southern belles once played by Leo Remick and Joanne Woodward - are now minor league stuff. Martin (few people have known this until this very minuto; it has been a closely kept secret) was actually only Number Two until quite recently. The spot of Number One-Epic Sloth was recently held by another performer. Not a human being, but a small dog. His name: Red Dust. He is (or was, for he has largely disappeared from our scene) part of a Vaudeville turn. His master would bark out commands: "Red Dust, Roll Over! Up, Red Dust!" But Red Dust was an utterly and irrevocably sag-boned hound. Red Dust never volun-tarily moved anything, least of all a paw. The pooch looked permanently. pickled. It was pretty funny stuff. Dean Martin finally won out over Red Dust. Much of his triumph has boen ascribed by some scribes to his ability to project an alcoholic aura from coast. to-coast, into millions of Puritan homes. Good, Puritan, beer-drinking homes. Martin has almost by himself established Boozea-Vision as America's new Art Populaire. It's dificult to imagine any other object that woald currently be more welcome in our historie nation'& thousands of beer bars and juke joints. Nothing more popular than DM, slumped there, looking for his cue card, all brung to you in NBC e surrealist color. Martin and his - dare we say it? - goopy baritone. Martin: the biggest sex symbol to hit neighborhood taverns since the heyday of The Rheingold Girl, may she in our secret imaginations requiescat in fagrante delleto. Nothing should alow up his reign as our beloved EPIC BOOZER short of a sudden attack of dyaphagia. - Stan Cornyn The Glories of the Human Voice are Also Heard in: PRODUCED BY JIMMY BOWEN (hapine Aitom 6023) The Hil Deund of Dese Narise inegrles itwis 9e9 ACPAINE ALGORES, A DIVISION DE MARNER BROA NICOAGA, IRO, A SUESTOIARY AND AICENSEE # MARNÉ® BNS, DIGNUNI,
