SOVIETS SCOUT TALENT AT KINGS DOMINION

A group of Soviet talent scouts seeking acts for a Moscow amusement park found some of the musical entertainment at the Kings Dominion theme park to their liking.

The Soviets visited the Hanover County amusement park Thursday as part of an exchange Kings Dominion officials hope to work out with Moscow's Gorky Park.

The three visitors particularly liked a beach music group called "Summer Rhythms" and a quintet's renditions of The Jackson Five's "I Want You Back" and The Doobie Brothers' "Listen to the Music."

Plans are to exchange acts with Gorky Park for two or three weeks next summer. Kings Dominion's parent company has hired a Washington law firm with a Moscow office to help negotiate the deal.
