j Weekend Preview

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

the John Burroughs Association

Nations"; and his most recent

Halle served is the United
States Department of State from
1941 to 1954, when he became

row Wilson Department of For
eign Affairs of the University

ment, Halle worked with the de
partment's policy planning staff
and the Bureau of Inter-Ameri
can Affairs.

the University Committee for As
semblies and Lectures.
Variety Highlights
SU 'Friday at 4'

vocalizing will highlight today’s
"Friday at 4," to be held in
the Student Union Fishbowl.

ganized campus combo, will make
its debut. Also new to campus
talent lists is Dave Ayala, re
portedly a fine folksinger. Diane

Howard will sing, as well as
another folksinging group, as yet

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.

both as individual and group per
formers, warm into their roles to
make the whole second act truly
delightful.
Enthusiasm is contagious. 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.
