'Limelight/ Starring Chaplin Is Best Film Showing Now By Dave Sherman Amusement Pege Editor “Limelight." a replay of Char lie Chaplin’s film seen two years ago on campus, is by far the best film showing this weekend. Chaplin plays Calvero, a mu sic hall comedian around the time of the first world war. He helps a ballet dancer who claims she can no longer walk. She be comes a great star while he be comes a street entertainer. Included in the film are too few scenes of Chaplin’s famous vaudeville skits. He plays the “tramp" hejs so famous for, does a flea routine, and teams up with Buster Keaton in a violin act which is one of the high-points of the show. Ballet Sequence Many will recognize the “Terry’s Theme” from the show, to which Claire Bloom dances in one of the ballet sequences. The film is almost a one-man show — Chaplin produced, directed, stars, composed the music and j choreographed it. Also playing with Limelight is an early Alfred Hitchcock thriller. “The Lady Vanishes.” The “theatre season” in Eu gene got off to a roaring start with the Very Little Theatre pro duction of "Charley’s Aunt.” Featured in the show is Bruce Holt, seen on campus in “Ber nardine” and “Captive at Large” last year. The show is an Eng lish comedy written by Brandon Thomas. Plays Aunt Gene Hei<locker, a frequent VLT player, plays the "aunt.” Also- featured in the cast is Judy Hawley, a former member of the Cascade Players on Campus. "The Night of the Hunter.” Charles Laughton’s experiment with the movies, plays over the week-end at the “new" Fox. Robert Mitchum and Shelley Winters star in the film and Lillian Gish is featured. The film has been criticized as being “too arty" for its own good. Also playing with “Night of Campus Calendar Friday 10:00 Longview H.S.

We’d prob ably do well to stick to the first seven. “Gung-Ho” Audie Murphy continues to charge "gung-ho" through the filmed version of his war story. "To Hell and Back.” The film is based on Murphy's experiences in the war and he is accorded the honor of playing himself. Al though the film may be accurate, the episodes become just a little too tiring. On the way back from hell, the Heilig is showing "Combat Squad." Anyone for taking up residence ? At the MacDonald, Richard Egan, Anthony Quinn, Jeffrey Hunter. Michael Rennie and Rita Moreno continue to troop through California.
