Judge Clarkson, who was mayor of Southfield for four terms and is a former mem- ber of the Michigan State Legislature, has many civic associations and has had ex- ' tensive experience in many state and county, as well as local, official positions. Oakland Citizens League rated him Number One for the position to which he seeks re-election. In his platform, he empha- sizes vigilance in traffic safety, adherence to zoning and health ordinances and continued maintenance of a night court for the benefit of volunteer citizen-policemen.

In "Rivals," Klein appears as Peter, a free-wheeling young man who conducts guided bus tours in Manhat- tan and teaches his charges the simple joy of living, and single ladies the joy of lov- ing. Klein's personality hits you and sticks with you; a bright comedian on the sup- perclub circuit, he proves himself now as a screen actor of major proportions. Bertram Ostrau, executive producer for "Rivals," has described Robert Klein as "the next Elliott Gould . . . and much more." We would like to think of him as a young, revitalized Danny Kaye.
