husband of Eydie Gorme,
has cancelled multi-million
dollar contracts in the
nightclubs of Las Vegas and
New York, plus recording
sessions in this country, to
devote this year to the pro-

with Israeli actress Gila
Almagor in the dramatic
film "Alone Together," deal-
ing with an Israeli war

New York.
This marks Lawrence's
very first dramatic screen
appearance, though he
made his stage debut in the
title role of the tragic play
"What Makes Sammy
Run?" on Broadway some 10
years ago, a portrayal win-
ning the much coveted New
York Drama Critics' Award.
William Friedkin, who
has not made a picture since
the record-breaking "The
Exorcist," of three years
ago, now is doing location
work in New York and New

Paramount film, "Sor-
cerer," a contemporary ad-
venture and suspense story
with other exteriors com-
pleted in Paris and Jerusa-
lem. The bulk of the picture
will be photographed in the
Dominican Republic.
