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.

end.
Rosalind Russell’s poor attempt
at a film musical comedy. "The
Girl Rush,” continues through
Saturday at the North-end Drive
in. 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

"Branded.”

Bob Hope and vaudeville do a
