zrr. trr, The fjrds aren'1 exacty g. A alive with the sound of Grieg Edw.rd Grie, m.wW thankS t0 3 'l 8 1 0 screenplay by Andrew Stone Tiwrese Bert Christina Schoolin wh0 finds il more convenient to photograph a mountain 05Hr Homolk, than to write intelligent dialog. The visual effect of the film is the equivalent of flipping thru a deck of picture postcards. The story of Grieg as told by Stone is the traditional dumb film biography of a musician: initial reaction, professional success and romantic failure.

It's an old, old story about 25 years old to be exact. Biographies of composers were Hollywood favorites in the late '40s. Paganini "The Magic Berlioz "La Symphonie Tschaikowsky "Song of My Schumann "Song of Love" and Chopin "A Song to Remember" were all embalmed in film in 1946 and 1947. The only reason to resurrect Grieg the story was a stage play in 1944 is yie financial lure of a successful family movie. But Stone has a weird sense of what makes a family movie.

He has 12 scenes in the film in which either an individual or group of people begin running thru the countryside, presumably with a song in their heart, if not on their lips. What's all the running "for? Who's being chased? The film's sound track falls out of synchronization occasionally, but that inadequacy hardly compares to the drivel that comes out of the actors' mouths. Toralv Maursted, who plays the Grieg as a young man appears about 35 years old. Florence Henderson, who plays his young wife, is equally unconvincing with her sagging cheekbones that make her look 38. Give me "The Glenn Miller Story" anytime.

If you don't blow in the New Year by going out may I suggest you try the weekend hangovers on 75th Street. Tonight thru Sunday's shows are cheaper and less hectic.

The two clubs to visit are Lurlean's, 319 E. 75 and The Apartment, 504 E. 75th St. Lurlean's is small club seating capacity is about 75 usually presenting local groups such as Clarence Wheeler and the Enforcers Wednesdays thru Sundays. The Apartment, which seats close to 200, relies on big names on the weekends.

Clark Terry, flugelhorn and trumpet player, is at Lurlean's for the post-holiday weekend. Clark has a show stopper every set whether it be his 1 blues, "Mumbles," or a duet with himself on bQth horns. Clark, who recently said that "jazz is suffering even when it's doing good," has kept himself from "stagnating" between personal engagements with studio jobs, working in the trumpet section of the Tonight Show and participating at numerous collegiate festivals and clinicsappearances that are both lucrative and personally rewarding. The Apartment is featuring heavy blowing sessions with an all-star cast including tenor and alto player Sonny ten or man Charlie Rouse, trumpeter Frank Gordon, alto player Sonny Seals, organist Don Patterson and the Vernell Fournier trio accompanying singer Etta Jones. For dinner before or after shows, try Array and Lou's Restaurant, between the two clubs at 422 E.

75th St. Their famous fried chicken dinners or complete feasts of gumbo or black-eyed peas run under $5. The food is tops and the service lovely with plenty of time to enjoy the cooking. For further information or reservations, call the Apart-m 488-9248; Lurleans, 224-8937. PROGRESSIONS: Jamei Moody, winner of the latest Down Beat International Critic's Poll in the flute category and one of the top reedmen in opens at the London House Wednesday for two weeks.

James, who left Dizzy Gillespie after eight years early this year, has been doing very well with his own group which includes organist Bobby Pierce and drummer Roy Brooks. James also brings in singer Eddie Jefferson, a leading exponent of vocalese, the setting of words to famous instrumental jazz solos such as Coleman Hawkins' "Body and Soul" and Charlie Parker's "Now's the Time." Trumpeter Jack I the Bearl Brown brings a trad band into The Store, 937 N. State Sunday nights for the month of January. Other members of the band are bass saxman Russ Whitman, drummer Wayne Jones and banjo player Jack Meilahn. Clarinet player Kim Cusack will be a special guest this Sunday only.

Harriet Choice SPECIAL SHOWING SPECIAL SHOWING SPECIAL SHOWING SPECIAL SHOWING TOE An alley cat and a pair of proper English gecsc. The Aristocats' MUCH MORE SUITABLE for family entertainment is the new Disney feature-length cartoon, "The Aristocats," a feline "Lady and the Tramp." The artwork and story do not compare to the truly great Disney films "Snow White," "Pinocchio," "Bambi" and "Dumbo" but there is enough juvenile humor to keep the children in their seats for the 78 minutes. The film has one crucial flaw which you might explain to your younger children before they see it. The story follows the plan of a butler to get rid of i family of cats who are going to inherit their madame's fortune. This is explained in an eavesdropping sequence in which the sound volume is much too low.

Young ones are liable to miss the point of the story. The film employs the technique used so successfully in "The Jungle Book" of having name actors play the voices of the animals. Phil Harris is the alley cat who aids the kittens and Eva Gabor is the kittens' mother. The best characters are a pair of proper English geese who crack each other up with the silliest of jokes. Their appearance is much too brief.
