AS it turned out, more than 200 stars showed up for the spectacular bash Alexander H. Cohen whipped up a few weeks ago at Radio City Music Hall to mark the 100th anniversary of the Actors' Fund of America. But, arguing that poetic license can also be invoked by producers, Mr. Cohen is sticking with ''Night of 100 Stars'' as the title for the television version of the evening. It runs for three hours this evening, beginning at 8, on ABC-TV. My armchair impression of the occasion is that watching it on television is probably preferable to having been a spectator at the theater. The evening ran on for more than five hours, generating a good bit of grumbling about the long waits between numbers. For television the skillful art of editing has eliminated the irritating pauses. Stuffing the event into two-and-a-half hours - that's what is left after the commercials - Hildy Parks, writer, co-producer and Mr. Cohen's wife, and Clark Jones, the director, have put together a nonstop parade of entertainment and glitzy celebrity flashing. An off-stage announcer refers at the outset to the embarrassment of riches when he reveals that this is to be a ''night of 100 stars'' - slight pause and then an elevation in vocal pitch -''and then some!'' He might have added, ''only in New York!'' Radio City Music Hall makes a thoroughly splendid setting for this kind of gala. And the entire show, while bursting at its sequined seams with Hollywood names, reeks of New York glamour and energy, from Liza Minnelli doing her ''New York, New York'' belting routine, assisted by several New York Yankees in uniform, to Mayor Koch in top hat and tails singing the introduction to a segment on Broadway musicals. What ''Night of 100 Stars'' finally boils down to is something on the order of almost one star a television minute. At times, the content threatens to become virtually subliminal. Some historical photographs are flashed on the screen with dizzying speed. When all else fails, the familiar faces are simply whisked by the cameras on the slightest of pretexts. A fashion show is used to showcase several female stars. The Rockettes at one point serve as escorts for a long line of male stars. The television contingent is displayed, neatly and cleverly, in a gentle takeoff of the mystery-guest ploy on ''What's My Line?'' This affords an opportunity to introduce quickly everybody from Michelle Lee and Cathy Lee Crosby to John Schneider and Howard Cosell. The 100 years of the Actors' Fund is covered in decades throughout the evening, with each narrator recounting the historical highpoints and curiosities of a particular period. These sections generally encompass the class acts, beginning with Princess Grace of Monaco and Elizabeth Taylor and ending with James Earl Jones and Colleen Dewhurst. Every so often there is a pause for a production number. Some are obvious within the context - songs, for instance, by Tony Bennett, Harry Belafonte, Lionel Ritchie and a very effectively restrained Sammy Davis Jr. Some are very pleasant surprises -Miss Piggy and Placido Domingo in an impassioned duet. Some are merely curious - Lola Falana, for example, gets a curiously long and prominent showcase that is only puzzling when time is at such a premium. But, on the whole, Mr. Cohen and company have done a superb job in pulling together a glittering collection of names and faces. If you like the celebrity razzle-dazzle of things like the Academy Awards, you'll positively swoon over ''Night of 100 Stars.'' Among the other key credits are Roy A. Somlyo, co-producer with Miss Parks; Eliot Lawrence, musical director, and Albert Stephenson, who did the musical staging.
