ON OUR BEAUTIFUL
ALREADY LOW-PRICED MEAT OR DAIRY TRAYS

Fact is, more Americans
may die by the fork than by
any other weapon. That's
because so many of them
use it irresponsibly. Like
to fill up on high-fat, high-
cholesterol foods. Foods
that can load the blood with
cholesterol, which can build
up plaque in their arteries,
increasing their risk of
heart attacks and threaten-
ing their lives. So next time
you pick up a fork, remem-
ber to handle it as you
would any other weapon.
For self-defense, not
self-destruction.

turned me around. From
then on, it was what I
wanted to do."
His first professional
role was in summer stock
in New York, where he
appeared in a mystery,
Any Number Can Die.
After other summer stock
roles, he moved to New
York City and quickly
found work as a pup-
peteer.
"Every day I went home
feeling good because I had
made children happy,"
commented Mr. Davidson,
who returned to center
stage and toured in
Cinderella and Kiss Me
Kate.
Although he has been
touring with Fiddler on
the Roof since August, he
did not get the role of
Lazar Wolf until October,
when a cast member's ill-
ness forced some assign-
ment shifts.
"I paid attention to the
gentleman playing the
role prior to me because it

in the company if Lazar
Wolf is a completely dif-
ferent character," he
explained. "I was the
understudy, so I had a
very good idea of what the
director wanted."
Mr. Davidson has not
found it difficult stepping
into the shoes of a middle-
aged man. He finds he can
bring some of his travel
experiences to the charac-
terization.
"Lazar Wolf is a lonely
man, going to Tevye
because he is lonely and
wants to marry Tevye's
oldest daughter," Mr.
Davidson said. "Lazar pro-
pels the show. He is very
prominent in the commu-
nity and very wealthy.
"In terms of the loneli-
ness that this man feels, I
certainly can relate to
that. Sometimes I feel
that way because being on
the road is a very lonely
thing despite the fact that
I'm friendly with every-
body in the company and
consider myself a happy
person."
One of his happiest
moments on stage came
during a production when
his parents were in the
audience.
"I was doing Kiss Me
Kate, playing the role of
the first gunman, and my
parents had driven up
from Framingham to see
the show," he recalled.
"At the end of the first
act, there's this very comic
dance that the two gang-
sters do. It was very slap-
stick, and I remember I
did this pratfall. I fell to
the ground, and as I

looked out into the audi-
ence, I saw my mother
convulsing with laughter.
"I don't ever remember
feeling as moved at any
moment of my life on
stage.
"Of course, I heard all
the other people in the

audience laughing, too:

and there I was doing that
in front of my parents.
That was special to me."
Although Mr. David-
son's training has focused
on acting rather than
singing and dancing, he
believes Fiddler taps some
basic abilities.
"I consider myself an
actor/singer, and the
beauty of this show is that
the dances come from a
feeling that's captured in
the choreography," he
said. "The stuff that I do
isn't all that physically
challenging, but what you
have to find is the motiva-
tion. In a lot cases, that's
the joy of a.people."
Mr. Davidson has per-

formed with regional the-
ater as Truscott in Joe
Orton's Loot, Dr. Watson
in Sherlock's Last Case
and Bernie in Sexual
Perversity, but finds his
current role particularly
meaningful.
"This is one of the great-
est experiences I could
have because I'm bringing
a sense of tradition of
what I'm about and what
my people are about to
places in this country
where they don't know all
that much about that,
where there aren't that
many Jewish people," he
said. ❑
