Dom DeLuise's Visit Will Make
A Very Big Splash In Detroit
DANNY RASKIN
Local Columnist
y
ou can take the man
out of show business,
but you can't take
show business out of the man
. . . And so Sam Locriccio,
owner of Arriva Italia
Restaurant on W. 12 Mile in
Warren with John Ausilio
and Chef Bill Hall, is back in
it again.
Not that he really was ever
out, singing weekly with fine
songstress Sandra Mandella
at the popoular east side
eatery and putting on various
promotions.
But this time the former
Lorio's songster has done it in
an even bigger way . . . Arriva
ntertainment and Market-
ing Co., headed by Sam with
John and Bill, has leased the
entire Fox Theatre for the ap-
pearance of actor/comedian
Dom DeLuise next Friday.
Sam will have two packages
for the evening . . . Special
dinner at Arriva by Corporate
Travel under a 1,200-seater
tent, bus to the Fox, reserved
main floor seats for the Dom
DeLuise show, backed by
Johnny Trudell's orchestra,
plus singer-impressionist Bob
Anderson and bus back to Ar-
riva, $59 . . . Reserved seating
only at the Fox, Aug. 21, will
be $29.50.
This is Dom's first-ever visit
to the local area, and Sam is
really doing it up with impos-
ing impact . . . The night
before (Thursday) will be a
black-tie optional shindig
under the huge tent starting
at 6 p.m. with appetizers,
champagne, open bar, Johnny
Trudell, Bob Anderson, San-
dra Mandella . . . and Dom
DeLuise wearing a hidden
mike . . . He'll walk around
telling how he made the food
that afternoon for the dinner
people are eating, sit among
the audience, and every so
often go up on the stage to
perform in the very relaxed
"off-the-cuff" atmosphere .. .
The entire cost of this is $75
. . . It's $100 if you also want
a videotape and Dom's hard-
cover cookbook, Eat This .. .
Its Good For You.
Call Arriva, 573-8100, for
the Friday night Aug. 21 bus,.
dinner and theatre package
. . . and Thursday Aug. 20
"Dinner With Dom" party.
For Dom DeLuise's perfor-
mance only, Friday night
Aug. 21 tickets can be gotten
from the Fox Theatre box of-
fice, 567-6000, or all Ticket-
Master outlets, 645-6666.

It all adds up to a whole
bunch of fun.
63 YEARS AGO, Bluma
and Iry Ellman went on a
honeymoon, riding the train
to Chicago and taking the
Super Chief to California .. .
They had been married at the
Statler on Washington
Boulevard.
In two years, their grand
climax of 65 marital years
will take place and the saying
of their vows again . . . "As
long as the money holds out,"
says Bluma, they'll be taking
groups on a series of funfests.
It was natural that their
first one should be on Larry
and Judy Coe's Michigan Star
Clipper dining and scenic
train of Coe Rail . . . And that
63 guests should be invited.
As the leaves glistened from
rain and lights shone along
the Coe Rail route, Bluma
and Irv's guests experienced
elegant dining and equally
polished service.
Larry wielded a big urn-
brella, bringing folks from
their car to the train, most of
them Knollwood Country
Club members, but it was ap-
parent that this evening
wasn't going to be dampened
in any way by the rain.
.
Larry; Chris Deward, food
and beverage manager; and
Bill Foster, kitchen manager;
were fully prepared to make
sure Bluma and Irv's guests
would be fed the best by ex-
cellent servers Brenda
O'Dell, Nancy Kahn, Bill
Sargen and Debra Wandelo-
ski, service manager . . . The
waitpersons seemed to be go-
ing over backwards to please,
but Larry says that's how
they are all the time.
Bluma had a brakeman's
light and the hat she bought
at Saks that looked like a
glamorous version of a
railroad cap . . . while Iry
wore an engineer's striped
topper.
You couldn't miss Frank
Winton with his red jacket
. . . Wife Flora's sparkle was
her smile . . . Train was ready
to take off but the missing
couple just made it in time .. .
as Shirley and Nate Fink ar-
rived with three minutes to
spare . . . Bluma and Irv's
barrister son Harry took a lot
of video while his wife Peggy
shot stills along with Carol
Grumet (Bob).
"You didn't know that I
owned a winery, did you?"
asked Bill Wolf as he showed
the wine list with its "Featur-
ing wines by Newton Winery,
Napa" . . . Bill owns Newton
Furniture . . . Hard to believe
the excellent food was
prepared in such a narrow
area, and everything made
fresh on board . . . served so
lavishly by the wonderful Coe
Rail tuxedoed waitstaff.
Folks danced in the aisles
as a gent with keyboard and
synthesizer played songs of
yesteryear . . . I had a dream
come true on this trip .. .
always wanted to stop traffic
. . . and did when the
Michigan Star Clipper train
crossed Pontiac Trail and
again on its freight route
(Larry and Judy also haul
some cargo).
A lot of wetlands along the
way, but Woodpecker Lake
the real thing as people ate
and made merry on the coe
"Hidden Secret" Rail.
Bluma and Iry Ellman per-
formed a big mitzvah for a lot
of the people . . . Many had
never been on a train before
even though world travelers
. . . It was a very pleasant ex- •
perience for them.
And for Bluma and Irv, it
was another eventful evening
Planned are
several events, not
performances.
of enjoying people . . . some-
thing they do best.
CONGRATS . . . to Carol
Israel, president of Temple
Beth El Sisterhood . . . on her
50th birthday . . . celebrated
tomorrow evening at Paparaz-
zi restaurant in West Bloom-
field's Sugar Tree.
ENTIRE DETROIT Zoo
on Woodward, train and all,
has been reserved by Weight
Watchers for Aug. 21, 6 p.m.
to 9 p.m. . . . Admission will

Feed The Hungry," a non-
profit organization that
distributes the food to local
food banks . . . For free
tickets, call 1-800-487-4777,
Ext. 267 . . . Big kudos to
Florine Mark-Ross and her
gang, who'll have strolling
quartets, clowns, face pain-
ting for children, Mickey and
Minnie Mouse, the AWW
Bear, banjoist, etc. . . . I like
the slogan, "If you can choose
what you eat, you're in a posi-
tion to help someone who
can't."
GOOD WAITPERSON
Dept. . . . Jody Marcus .. .
lunchtime at Jacques Demers
of Embassy Suites, Beck and

smile and so cordial, efficient
and polite.
