LAST CALL FOR CHRISTMAS

Last month we told you about the cornucopia of Christmas gift items on the market for theatre buffs.  Now, with the holiday fast approaching, here are some additional suggestions that run from the very expensive to the very thrifty.

SILVER MENAGERIE
Tennessee Williams created a memorable Glass Menagerie, but Alfred Dunhill of London at 620 Fifth Avenue goes him one better with a Sterling Silver Menagerie.  Hand-crafted to the minutest detail, there's a 2" by 3" elk ($50), a 4" by 1 1/2" hippopotamus ($75), a 6" by 1 3/4" giraffe ($75) and an ebony walking stick with a magnificent greyhound handle ($250).

Dunhill also offers a "Magna Collection" of miniature Rolls Royce motorcars designed in 1/50th scale with working parts.  The limited edition includes a 1965 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow ($1,850) and a 1932 Rolls Royce Phantom II in sterling silver ($1,750) or 18-carat gold ($15,000).  Each car is mounted on a plinth of solid walnut sheathed with a highly polished silver mirror to reflect car's underside.

BOUNTIFUL BARD

If there's a Shakespeare lover on your list, or a museum you wish to make happy, there is a work of art from Britain that fills the bill.  Berman's and Nathan's Ltd., the British firm that is generally recognized as the world's largest and foremost costumer for theatre and cinema, offers a stunning group of life-size, sculptured Shakespeare characters dressed in meticulously reproduced costumes such as those worn by actors of the Globe Theatre.  Each of the characters has been moulded by a process of fiberglass sculpture and covered with a wax fleshtone treatment reminiscent of the Madame Tussaud application.  Some are grouped together in vignettes depicting actual scenes from the Bard's works.  Shown here are Romeo and Juliet in precise period costumes of rich brocade and intricate embroidery.  (Price $25,000).

Another group includes a scene from Henry IV, Part 1, consisting of Falstaff, Mistress Quickly and Bardolph ($25,000) or Falstaff alone ($15,000).  The figures, which are featured in an exhibition that is touring the U.S., are available through
