HERMITSVILLE: Herman and Hermits arrived in America just before Christmas for their several-city holiday P.A. tour, and after a couple of days in New York, went on their merry way cross-country. (While they were in N.Y.C., 200 West 57th St. was the most popular building in town. The Hermits' fan club and publicity offices are located at this address, and Hermaniacs were camped all over the place.)
      Unfortunately, their merry way didn't include a stop-over or concert on this coast, so we missed (and how) seeing them this time around. But we made them promise that at least one Hermit or member of the entourage would keep a special tour diary and send it to TS. So look for this exclusive thingy soon!
      Next on the Hermits' list is a tour of the Orient and Australia. Then they begin filming "Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter." (Sounds familiar - ha!) Don't know whether they'll do the filming here or over there, but we have our fingers securely crossed. If all goes as planned, they begin shooting in April.
