Musicals Cover Downtown Screens By Dave Sherman Amuument Page Editor Musical movies take the screen on two downtown theatres. “My Sisteer Eileen," at the Heilig, and “Gentlemen Marry Bru nettes” at the McDonald continue through the weekend. "My Sister Eileen” stars Janet Leigh (wife of Tony Curtis—her only claim to fame, since she can neither sing, dance or act). Jack Lemmon, who played Ensign Pul ver in “Mr. Roberts” and Betty Garrett. The story is a re-re-re re-hash of Ruth McKenna’s popu lar book. "My Sister Eileen,” which was a successful stage play, a movie—sans music, a Broadway musical called “Won derful Town.” and now a movie musical—not to be confused with “Wonderful Town.” Also in the cast is Bob Fosse, one of Broadway's brightest dancer-choreographers. The story j is essentially the same, two Ohio ! girls trying to crash the “gay white way.’’ If tha movie is any indication, it's a wonder they made it. Co-feature is “Apache Ambush." Sequal to ‘Blondes' “Gentlemen Marry Brunettes" is a sequal to "Gentlemen Pre fer Blondes.” Jane Russell is held over from the latter, and, fortunately, M. Monroe is drop ped. Jeanne Crain plays the other brunette in the title. Many of the songs are old fa vorites — "Ain’t Misbehavin’,” "My Funny Valentine,” and oth ers. Also featured in the show are Alan Young. Scott Brady and Rudy Vallee. Co-feature is "Wa kamba,” a travelogue-type story of the natives of Central East Africa. It is presented by the American Museum of Natural History. The local campus theatre the , Mayflower is showing an Eng ! lish version of Dicken's "Oliver Twist." Co-feature is "The Vil j lage,” a story laid in Switzer land. Sunday begins a guppet ; feature of “Hansel and Gretel" and a dull version of "Heidi,” I another Swiss-laid film. Heartwarming Ty|>e If you like the "heartwarming type film.” you should enjoy “The Private War of Major Benson,” currently at the Eugene Drive In. Co-feature is Walt Disney's | “The Living Desert." Starting Sunday will be one-expression Jack Webb in "Pete Kelley's Blues" and, surprisingly, an ex cellent co-feature, "Hobson's Choice.” This is an English film which is on the "coming” list j»t the Mayflower. Savagery runs rampant at the Fox theatre over the weekend. Through Saturday is “Skabenga" and "Treasure of Pancho Villa.” Cosmo Theme 'Spanish Night' “Spanish Night" will serve as theme for the Friday evening program of Cosmopolitan club, at Plymouth house in the Con gregational church at 8:00 p.m. The program will include David Hatch, illustrating by slides and music some of the new world transformations of new Spain. Carol David will lead a discus sion afterwards on old Spain. Edmund Garcia-Giron, assist ant professor of Romance lan guages, will then discuss the transference of Spanish culture in the new world and the invoca tions of Latin American civiliza tion. Both American and foreign students are invited to attend and exchange ideas during the discussion. After the discussion Cosmo club will sponsor a dance featur ing the sor.gs and dances of old and new Spain. Refreshments will be served during the pro gram. Among those who will be on hand to greet visitors to Cosmo club will be students from Pan ama, Uruguay, and Colombia. 6:00 6:03 6:45 7:00 7:30 8:00 9:00 10:55 11:00 2:00 2:03 2:30 2:45 3:00 4:30 4:45 Friday SIGN ON Dinner Hour Serenade News ’Till Now Table Hopping Mind of the Writer Jazz Kwaxworks Final Edition SIGN OFF Sunday SIGN ON Question Public Health Gai Paris BBC Theatre Navy Bandstand Spirit of the Vikings Alpha Delta Pi Ahead In Season Ticket Contest Alpha Delta Pi is first in line for a free night at the University Theatre for members and their dates, according to Helen How ard, ticket manager.

Unfortunately, the charm and personality which must have made "Wonderful Town” such a success on Broadway just didn't come through in the filmed medium. At least that’s the only reason we can find for this film. Co-feature is “The Lost Com mand."
