Woody Allen seeing his moves, actions and style behind the camera and recording it as a diary.

De Navacelle is unfortunately such an Allen fan that he keeps telling us so in the book. To give it some perspective he quotes from newspapers, sometimes almost entire articles, preceding each day's events. The book talks about what happens and the people involved but gives little in-' sight. Temporary Shelter, by Mary Gordon (Random House, 210 $16.95) Mary Gordon gets inside the skin of people better and faster than a hundred other authors. Whether she vis writing about disturbed children, semi-senileS senior citizens or fairly ordinary adults, Gordon makes them really live for the reader.

Towns throughout (Spectrum Jean Esplin) People who dislike mowing lawns have many alternatives. "The Country Diary Book of Creating a Wildf-lower Garden" by Jonathan Andrews and edited by Anthony Huxley (Henry Holt, 160 $19.95) is a book that suggests one lovely way to reduce your mowing acreage.

Andrews' diary takes the gardener through the year, describing what should be done to care for the garden and suggesting both common and rare flowers to grow. Illustrations in the diary are taken from "Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady." The Tarzan of the urban jungle HOLLYWOOD (UPI) The Tar gang leader named Chopper from in La Jolla so I went in for the interview with the security that VDT viewing bad on eyes? 'For the moment, it is rne zone," saia Knepper. "They try to kill Wild Thing, who is only 3, but he escapes and is taken in by a bag lady (Betty Buckley). She raises him to trust no one and to only leave her hovel after dark. The kid grows up mute and street smart in The Zone.

"The old lady dies when he's 10 and the kid grows up to be a legend among the street people in the urban jungle." Quinlan, playing a naive smalltown girl, arrives as a social worker a half-way house in The Zone. "She is on the point of being raped by Chopper and his gang when Wild Thing appears," Knepper said. "When the kid, now in his early 20s, arrives to help her, she faints. He is half naked and wearing war paint with his hair all wild and weird." At this point the young ghetto savage speaks for the first time and tells the social worker about his parents' death and his life in The Zone. "It is the story of a fish out of water," Knepper said.

"He really is like Tarzan fending for himself in a different kind of jungle. Wild Thing is rarely seen by others in The Zone. even if I wasn't called back I had a job waiting," Knepper said. "They already had an actor picked for the part, but I didn't know it. Max and the producers wanted a guy with cat-like Dody language.

I'd already learned to move like that when I played the warlock in (a theater production of) 'Dark of the I was lucky to be called back. But I got the Knepper said the best part of making the picture was working with Kathleen Quinlan, who was featured in "Lifeguard" and "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden." "We felt an immediate camaraderie," Knepper said. "It was like doing live theater. We did some improvisation and we rehearsed on our own." "Wild Thing" was shot entirely along Montreal's rough and tumble riverfront, with nearly all the action taking place in an area called The Zone, a seedy, sleazy area inhabited by bag ladies, bums, hoodlums and other assorted lowlifes. "I play a guy from a good family whose parents are on their way to the big city when they are murdered by a zan of the jungle swung from tree to tree, hung around with a chimp and bellowed a lot.

The Tarzan-like character of "Wild Thing" climbs smokestacks, hangs out on the seamy side of town and doesn't say a word. Rod Knepper, 27, who has the title role in the new movie, appears to be the logical choice for the part. He is athletic, handsome and has a potent screen presence. He also is given to whimsy and is a bit off the wall. Although he has been in Hollywood less than two years, he already has two feature films to his credit: "That's Life," in which he played a supporting role to Julie Andrews and Jack Lemmon, and "Made in Heaven" scheduled for release this Summer.

Born in the small Ohio town of Maumee, not far from Toledo, Knepper attended Northwestern University, worked in little theater and on stage in Chicago, Cleveland, Louisville and Florida. He has also done guest shots in such TV series as "The Paper Chase" and "L.A. Law." He auditioned for "Wild Thing," with director Max Reid. "I had already been offered a play Masterful music by the pros performed in Carnegie Hall by united Press international' Many of the 'health conv plaints associated with the use of video display terminals are caused by where and how the screens are placed and not the devices themselves, the American Medical Association says. But with 15 million VDTs in use in the United States and 100 million projected by the year 2000, it is important to continue to investigate whether the terminals are causing birth defects or any other health problems, the AMA's Council on Scientific Affairs concluded recently, The AMA report was prompted by public concern over the widespread use of VDTS, which emit radiation.

However, thesAMA; after reviewing all of the available research, concluded "No association has been found thus far between ra- diation emissions from" VDTS and reported spontaneous abortions, birth defects, cataracts and other injuries." The council concluded many of the headaches, backaches and other problems associated with VDT use could be attributed to improperly placed equipment or incorrect lighting. The AMA recommended measures be taken im-mmediately to correct these problems. essential to realize that the nature of the task may be more responsible for workers symptoms than the equipment," they said. Scientists have developed a faster, simpler test for detecting sickle cell anemia in fetuses. Current methods take between five and 21 days to get results.

The new test, developed at the University of California in San Francisco, takes only one or two days. Wi The new test is faster and more sensitive because it uses a new technique that allows researchers to duplicate the gene responsible for the disease in large numbers, which makes it easier to analyze, researchers reported in a recent issue of The New The test involves taking a sample of amniotic fluid or the placenta to get a copy of the fetal gene Sickle cell anemia is an inherited disease the primarily affects blacks in the United States. One out of every 350 black babies born in the United States each year has the disease, accounting for some 1,700 new cases annually. Blood tests can be used to detect the disorder in newborns. A panel of scientists convened by the National Institutes of Health recently recommended sickle cell screening for all infants.

Now that's something special. "More people will hear that last movement (on TV) than perhaps have heard it since it was composed and from all the performances from one show," Stern said. Sinatra sings "Mack the Knife" and "New York, New York," Yo-Yo Ma solos with the New York Philharmonic, under Zubin Mehta, on the last movement of Haydn's Cello Concerto in and Bernstein premieres his "Opening Prayer," written especially for the occasion and conducted by Bernstein. Through it all, commentary is provided by those who love the hall most the music masters who perform there and anecdotes are weaved in to add color, perspective and life to the walls. "TV is the natural way for us to exhibit our pride.

A lot of people will look at it and not be ashamed to like something classical," Stern said. "Life without music is like life without colors. "We put back the Statue (of Liberty) and now we put back Carnegie HaD." NEW YORK (UPI) First there would have been a mountain of rubble, then a giant hole in the ground, then a 44-story office building. But the city of New York decided maybe it would be better to keep Carnegie Hall intact. If you take music seriously and that means the Fillmore East doesn't count the 96-year-old Carnegie Hall is America's only true music mecca.

The thought of tearing up that much history was ludicrous and those developers who suggested it should have been exiled. But instead of ripping the hall down, it was decided to spruce it up with $50 million. For the first time in its history, Carnegie Hall fell silent for eight months. On Dec. 15, 1986, with the cream-and-gold paint job so fresh it wiped off on some of the guests' dinner jackets, Carriegie Hall reopened with four hours of sweet music from the likes of Isaac Stern, Vladimir Horowitz, Frank Sinatra, Leonard Bernstein, Lisa Minnelli and the New Philharmonic.

Some people paid $2,500 for dinner, music and a glass or two of champagne. You won't have to pay a cent to see "Carnegie Hall: The Grand .3 on CBS April 21 (9-11 p.m. EDT). But instead of the usual classical music concert on TV, with a fixed camera shooting from center-stage, this one packs more wallop because of new camera techniques created by Emmy-winner Don Mischer, the executive producer. With a camera that seemed to float, and music from the heavens, Mischer turned out a program that may be better viewed on television than in the flesh.

Even violinist Stern was wowed. "I was blown away to tell you the truth," Stern said recently. "I have never personally seen a camera used so beautifully. The camera was in itself an instrument. "When did 37 minutes of classical music move so quickly?" asked Stern, Carnegie's president.

He was referring to the final segment of the program, Mahler's monumental Symphony No. 2 in minor performed by sopranos Be-nita Valente and Marilyn Home with the 100-voice New York Choral Artists and the New York Philharmonic. It was done without rehearsal and it was also 'done without commercial Club Harlem down and out? Emma Boyter MILFORD Emma jane Boyter, 53, of Milford, died April 17, 1987 in the Dixie Medical Center.

Olpin Southern Utah Mortuary. ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (UPI) -On hot summer nights, the mouth-watering aroma of "bones" from Jerry's Barbecue wafted down Kentucky Avenue. Across the street, inside Club Harlem, things were cooking too. Back in the 1940s, '50s and early '60s, it was one of the hottest "chitlin ocircuit" clubs.

It was jammed on Saturday nights, mostly with whites rollicking to black entertainers like Count Basie. Cab Calloway, Sam John Bell ot I jimnh Hell, ace 64. died Satur- "They thought everybody in Atlantic City was making that kind of money and so their prices were astronomical and we could no longer afford them." A few entertainers Sister Sledge, James Brown, Harold Mel-vin and the Bluenotes, B.B. King, the Manhattans remembered Club Harlem and continued to perform when they could have commanded more money a few blocks away on the Boardwalk, Randall said. But most others forgot their past, he said.

"I don't think we received a fair shake," Randall said. "They knew the problems we were having. You'd think they'd give us one shot a year in order to keep the wolf away from the door, but they never did." Last year, Club Harlem was open for only 14 days. Randall and its two other owners had been trying to sell for several years before accepting the offer of a partnership headed by Bernard Brown, president of National Freight a Vineland trucking firm. Brown could not be reached for comment on his plans for Club Harlem: "I am very, very disheartened, distraught, upset and heartbroken," Usry said.

"I know that it's been sold, but it's not down yet." Usry said he has received numerous calls asking what can be done to save Club Harlem. The mayor said he is involved in a private effort to do just that "It represents the history, the nostalgia, the tradition of black show business," Usry said. "Rather than be torn down, we think it should be set aside as a monument of history. I would like for that to be a famous historical site. was just as important to black people as the Convention Hall and the Boardwalk were to the white element of our community and we would like to see it afforded the same kind of consideration," Usry said.

about it the good times and the heydays," said Randall. And what heydays they were. The 11 p.m. show featured Larry Steele's Smart Affairs revue, a comic or tap dancer, a main act and a bevy of beautiful chorus girls in three lavish production numbers. Another show would begin at 3 a.m.

and a final "breakfast show" the most popular was staged at 6 a.m. Stars like Diana Ross, Milton Berle, Ella Fitzgerald and Pearl Bailey, after finishing their shows at Steel Pier or other night spots, would drop by the 900-seat Club Harlem to see and be seen and would often end up taking the stage for impromptu performances. In between shows, the crowds would spill out and head for "bones" at Jerry's or schmoozing at Grace's Little Belmont musical bar across the street. Billy Daniels remembers the night he first sang the tune that became his trademark especially because he had not yet learned all the words. "All I knew was "That 01' Black Daniels, 72, recalled.

"I just kept jumping up and down. I ran all over the stage and jumped on the floor and the tables. In those years, singers didn't do that they just stayed in one place and crooned. I guess I was the first Elvis Presley." In the late 1960s, the Kentucky Avenue neighborhood started to deteriorate. It was a time of strained race relations.

Many whites, Club Harlem's bread-and-butter, began to stay away. The cai os came along in the late 1970s, stealing away not patrons, but performers. "The entertainers, once the casinos opened, never looked at Club Harlem as an advancement," Randall said. "Club Harlem was a step back. "It was known how much the casinos were taking in," Randall said.

Cooke, Ray Charles and Louis Armstrong. Sammy Davis Jr. discovered Lola Falana in the chorus line at Club Harlem. Billy Daniels first sang "That 01' Black Magic" there. Pretty much anyone who was anyone in black entertainment got their start or performed at one time or another at the Kentucky Avenue club.

"It was the premier night spot for black entertainment in the country," said Atlantic City Mayor James Usry, who once worked there as a maitre 'd. "Not only that, it was one of the most famous night spots in the world." Club Harlem, which opened in 1935, is the last survivor of Atlantic City's golden age. The others the 500 Club, the Paradise Club, the Club Nomad are all gone, victims of changing times, of neglect, of the glitzy casino shows. Club Harlem may soon be history too. A Vineland, N.J., businessman recently bought the struggling club and word has spread that he may raze it and cement it over.

The most happening spot in town may become a non-descript parking lot "I'm very, very sad about letting it go," said Cecil Randall, 59, one of Club Harlem's former owners. "I was hoping that we could have gotten some kind of a break where we could remain open. "Since it's been sold, I've lain awake several times just thinking day, April 18, 1987 at his residence.
