HOLLYWOOD — Steve Lawrence, popular singer- 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- duction 'of a motion picture in Israel. He is co-starring with Israeli actress Gila Almagor in the dramatic film "Alone Together," deal- ing with an Israeli war widow and an American musician against the back- ground of Jerusalem and 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.

The bulk of the picture will be photographed in the Dominican Republic.
