NIGHT LIFE at Blinstrub's is still in full swing with JIMMY DURANTE, tonight (Tues.) and tomorrow night -- 2 shows per evening. Thursday there'll be a twin bill -- PHIL FOSTER. and JOHNNY TILLOTSON -- to keep the pendulum goin'. Tonight at Revere's Frolic Club there's gonna be some more frolickin' as the FOUR COINS hold the spotlight. Then, Sunday, DICK CONTINO will take over. The Shanty Club is going to keep BILL WOOTEN awile longer, and Caesar's Monticello is jumpin' every evening - GORDON MACRAE is scheduled to star there on Thursday. Meanwhile, JOE BUCCI, at the organ, and JOE REDDICK, on the drums, entertain at Connelly's Stardust Room. Like to dance? Well, it's foot-shufflin' time at the Wagon Wheels, Rt. 1, W. Peabody, now featuring the band music of the famed LIONEL HAMPTON. Monday listen to "way-out" jazz of the THELONIOUS MONK QUARTET at the Workshop on Boylston St. Been to the Red Garter, yet?

MUSIC, brought to Jordan Hall, tonight and Friday, will be Mozart's Comic Opera, "COSI FAN TUTTE" produced by the New England Conservatory Opera Theater. Curtains at 8:00 p.m. The enchanting sounds of MISS GEULA GILL from Israel will pervade the hall next Saturday. The Metheon Music Hall is scheduled to open with the first of its annual organ series starring SIR FRANCES JACKSON tomorrow night at 8,30. How about a concert?

Glee Club will be shown.

MORE MUSIC, folk-style music, is played nightly at THE UNICORN. Or why not try SOME PLACE ELSE on Cambridge St., right at the bottom of Beacon Hill, for either folk music or jazz -take your choice. Have a cup of coffee, too? (If'n ya really like coffee, you can get some of the best in Boston every nite of the week at THE YANA, off of Kenmore Sq.) CLUB 47 in Cambridge also specializes in folk type music, --There will be assorted talent nightly . . . Sunday's reserved for hootenanny.

Here, Monday, there will be two weeks of fun, fun, fun, with "Playboy's favorite playgirl" -- Miss June Wilkinson -- starring in PAJAMA TOPS, a very French farce. Continuing at the Colonial is the musical comedy, FADE OUT, FADE IN, with Carol Burnett. Curtain time's at 8:30, p.m., and matinees are held Wed., and Sat. Tickets are now on sale for the May 18th opening of "HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING"... a limited engagement at the Colonial.
