| Bal Harbour, Fla.

Mr. Parks is warming up his vocal cords to serve as master of ceremonies for the ''All American Glamour Kitty'' contest at the Sheraton Bal Harbour on July 20. The pageant will have all the trappings: contestants prancing down a runway, an adoring, oohing and aahing crowd - and Bert Parks breaking into theme song when a winner is announced.
