j Weekend Preview By JAY TILLAPAUGII Kmcrald Knt**rtalfim«‘nt F.dltor For nn interlude from the World Series, Eugene Theatres offer the same first run movies as last weekend. The exception, “Mister Buddwing,” starring James "Maverick” Garner, Jeun Simmons, Angela Landsbudy, and Suzanne Pleshctte, is playing at the lleilig Waking up in Central Park with no knowl edge of his identity. Garner spends a frantic day piecing together his fragmented memories with the vivid present—a typical day in the life of the average University student. Romantic encounters with three women, including a friendly prostitute, place the “adults only” tag on Garner's adventures. At the Fox the riotous Jonathan Winters-Carl Reiner production, “The Russians are Coming, The Russians arc Coming” continues as do the epical productions of "Doctor Zhivago" at the Mayflower and "The Agony and the Ecstasy,” starring Charlton Heston and Rex Harrison, at the McDonald. “ADULT ENTERTAINMENT” The Eugene Drive-In makes a dubious bid for the adult crowd with a double-bill of "Poor White Trash” and "Are you a Common Law Wife?” The Kim Novak-Lawrencc Harvey version of Maugham’s “Of Human Bondage" kicks around still at the Cascade, while the North End has a couple not too terribly long off Willamette Street— Sophia Loren and Paul Newman in “Lady L" and the many starred "Yellow Rolls Royce." In the way of theatre, the University Theatre ends Carnival Festival with Friday-Saturday presentations of "She Loves Me” (see review). At the Very Little Theatre, 24th and Hilyard, a three act comedy "Absence of a Cello” opened this week. Students may see at reduced rates this story of an individualistic physicist’s prob lems in trying to become a "corporation man.” FILM SEASON STARTS On campus, the University Film Society starts its season Sunday for members and "Bogie" fans with Humphrey Bogart, Edward G, Robinson, and Lauren Becall in the 1948 "Key Largo.” Because the Moonrnan serial went over so big last year, another highlight from the old Saturday morning kid shows is scheduled—12 pro grams of "Zorro Hides Again.” Art fans who have seen "The Agony and the Ecstasy” can catch once again “Lust for Life,” the SU movie for Sunday, 2 and 8 p.m. For those who don't like Bogart, Zorro, or movie in general, there is a Bottom of the Bowl Dance at 8 p.m. Saturday. For thou who don’t like anything in the way of mass entertain ment, enjoy the weekend weather—it can’t last much longer. Talk on De Gaulle Set for Assembly French President Charles dc Gaulle will be the subject of a University assembly next Mon day. The speaker is Louis J. Halle, professor of the Graduate Insti tute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland Halle’s address is scheduled for 8 p.m. in the Student Union Ball room.

She Loves Me' Presents Touch of Charm, Romance By JAY TILLAPAUGH Emerald Entertainment Editor A charming, romantic musical, “She Loves Me,” opens tonight at 8 p.m. at Carnival Festival’s last holdover production. Written to offend no one, the play has a little something for everyone—from the humor of a bushel of leaves falling simultane ously to the ground (Look! It’s Autumn!), to the heartjerking ro mance of a lone, gypsy violin, to the sentimental happiness of a lonely young man and woman finding one another. The plot has the innocence of a fairy-tale coincidence — two shy, young people who engage in an anonymous penpal relation ship unknowingly come to work together in the same perfumerie. Their constant quarreling ob scures the truth that each is the other’s “Dear Friend.” Unraveling the complications takes all the characters through a range of emotional emergencies; however, no real tragedy ever darkens the make-believe atmos phere. Set Fascinates Audience A highlight is the delicate, en chanting set with lacy frills which matches perfectly the fra gile music and moods of the play. Quick changes from per fume shop to sidewalk to roman tic cafe fascinate the audience and show the utility of Paul Waldo’s skillful design. Unfamiliar songs staged in un usual ways make the music inter esting if sometimes displeasing. The play unfolds through lyrical dialogue; thus, songs tell the story as well as convey feeling. Unfortunately, the first act ex position requires so many un related songs that the movement is inherently choppy. Experience is helping the cast, especially in the group numbers, to start the play moving faster, sooner. Second -Act Clicked W'hile the play starts some what hesitantly, the cast members, Model UN Convention To Last Four Days The Model United Nations con ference, scheduled to be held in the Hilton Hotel and hosted by Lewis and Clark College, will run for four days, not 11 days, as was erroneously reported in the Oc tober 3 Emerald. No definite dates have been set for the conference, but cam pus chairman Wayne Fawbush said it would probably be held during the second week of spring term.

The cast’s apparent excitement seems to spread to the audience which forgives with increasing quickness an off-key note, a corny line, or a group song which sounds like a round but isn’t. As the shy clerk, hardly able to pursue his romantic interest, Don Fibiger captures the wide - eyed boy quality of the role, squirming naturally and beauti fully. As the cause of his anxie ties in more ways than one, Chil ton Cunningham also gives an out standing performance as she quickly accuses and just as quick ly forgives. Sue Parks, the much-misused register girl, excells both in her comic lines and songs. Chuck Blankenship starts tonight as the office wolf and the play’s vil lain. Rounding out the evening with a dashing cafe-dance scene, James Hamilton as the distraught wait er adds a riotous note to Nicola Cutter’s graceful choreography. “She Loves Me” plays tonight and Saturday night with tickets, $2, available at the University Theatre Box Office, ext. 1781. While the play lacks meat, the au diences happily enjoy its light, refreshing atmosphere and humor.
