American Heart

e ' s short. He's
overweight. He talks
with an accent that
sounds like a mocki who just
got off the boat. And he's
hardly what you would call a
marquee idol. So how is it
that Jackie Mason, who
opened his new one-man
Broadway show in late Oc-
tober to overwhelming
critical acclaim, is such a
success?
"Timing," said actor
Michael Douglas, who is one
of the financial backers of
the show. "You take it for
granted, but if you listen
carefully to his meter, it's
very much like playing an
instrument. It's a talent that
has been honed and refined
like a concert pianist. He's
just sharp, and he has a
great sense of absurdity."
At the opening-night party
at New York's midtown
Symphony Cafe, friends and
guests mingled about, re-
peating to each other some of
Mr. Mason's insights on
life's absurdities. Like how
people are charged a fortune
for Perrier because it's a sta-
tus symbol, when it's really
nothing more than seltzer.
"What they should have
done is call it selt-zi-er,"
quipped Mr. Mason on stage.
His brother, Rabbi Ber-
nard Maza, was there, and
naturally he liked the show.
To him, it doesn't matter if
you're Jewish or not, you're
still going to like Jackie
Mason "because he's truth,
and everybody appreciates
the fact that he's making fun
of truth. Whether you're
Jewish or goyish, it doesn't
make any difference. It is
just brilliant social commen-
tary."
But brilliant commentary
does not guarantee a hit
show. "It's an unpredictable
commodity when you start
out a whole new show," said
Mr. Mason. "While you're
sweating and struggling to
be the best ever in your life,
there's no way to predict
what's actually going to
come of it.
"I wouldn't have been the
first that came to Broadway
thinking he had a hit and
caved in. There's more dead
bodies on Broadway than
any place in the world. Viet-
nam hasn't killed as many
people as Broadway."
Mr. Mason had been down
this road before, opening
four years ago in "The World
According to Me." For that
he won a Tony, an Emmy
and an Ace award, and was
nominated for a Grammy.
The question then became
could lightning strike twice?
Would the critics like him
again? To the public who
saw him opening night,
there was no wonder why .
Jackie Mason was a hit.
"I think he's wonderful, he
makes me feel 20 years
younger," said A.M. Rosen-
thal, colunmist and former
executive editor at The New
York Times. "He also hurts
my kishkas because I laugh
so much."
And his genius? "He
touches something, like all
great comics. There's an
immediate recognition.
When he says something,
like when a Jew is driving a
car, you see yourself immed-
iately. So as you laugh,
you're really laughing at
