Entertainment Weekend Preview By CHRIS HOUGLUM Of the Emerald There is no entertainment page today, folks. Just this column. Film critics Jim Ritzdorf and Ian Templeton are recovering from the overwork of past assignments, and I’m resting up from the ex hausting chore of repeatedly dol ing those assignments out. So there’s respite of sorts in order, right? Right. Now—to business, which should properly begin, one imagines, with a mention of the SDS dance which will be held from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. tonight in the EMU Ballroom. The Permanent Brain Damage and Indecent Exposure are doing the musical honors. Ad mission is an exorbitant 75 cents. Therefore it appears as iff’n it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to show up. Which is an entertain ment-page recommendation, in case any of you are easily de - ceived. uauce ana arama Oh. And while we’re on the subject of dances, the Social Di vision Dance of the following eve ning (Saturday — who’s keeping track?) is worthy of mention. It kicks off at 8, lasts until mid night and features Atlantis, a Port land group which has been down here a couple of times before. Ad mission is $1, and if you don’t want to go, I recognize that as your prerogative, but it doubtless means that you’re not fit for hu man company. Ecetera. And while we’re on the subject of drama—which we aren’t, real ly, but a few more words will take care of that problem—there are two notable, worthy, estimable, in teresting, absorbing productions which warrant more superlatives and redundancies than I have in stock. Herewith some pertinent CHRISTMAS CHARTER Portland—London—Portland Dec. 20 — Jan. 3 — $249 Applications Available At I.E.C.—Rm. 319 EMU—Ext. 1834 comments related thereto, for everyone’s edification: Firstly, two performances re - main for Very Little Theatre’s “Wait Until Dark,” a suspense ful and well-acted dramatic vehi cle which concludes a seven night run tonight and tomorrow at 8:15. It’s about the attempts of a trio of calculating con men to secure a heroin-loaded doll which just happens to be in the innocent possession of a blind girl, uninformed of its contents. Those of you who caught the Au drey Hepburn film are familiar with the chilling climax, and al though I’m tempted to give the ending away, out of sheer mean ness, I refrain. Drama in French Be that as it may, those inter ested in sitting in on this com mendable presentation may pur chase tickets at the VLT box of fice, 2350 Hilyard (344-7751) be tween 2 and 5 p.m. today and tomorrow. But it’s your decision. The second production is more unique, in some respects. “Jeux,” (Games) a two-act play written by PSU French instructor Penny Al len, is slated for two perform ances (in French) at 3 and 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Arena Theatre. The production, sponsored by the University French club, is be ing presented by the Portland State Les Planches du Pacifique, a unique theatre group (perhaps the only one of its kind in the country) composed primarily of students studying languages. “Exercise in style” The play itself, also directed by Miss Allen, is described as an “exercise in style,” with humor ous and melodramatic elements. It is designed to explore the the atrical possibilities of a device used to great effect by Jorge Borges: take a certain situation, follow it through more than one possible development and record how the changing circumstances affect the personalities of the play’s characteristics. It really ties in pretty securely with Borge’s preoccupation with the ‘labyrinth,’ with his repeated examination of encounters with seams of illogic which point out the gratuity on a life which guar antees nothing. Flicks are thin On a less profound level, we may observe that tickets for the presentation, priced at $1 for stu dents and $1.50 for adults, will be available at the door for each performance. Dispensing altogether with ab surd reasonings, we may acknowl edge, in the usual cursory fash ion, the presence of a few films of note. F’rinstance, only major ad dition to downtown fair is “The Sterile Cuckoo,” which has earn ed mixed reviews intimating that it is a gem for Liza Minelli fans, but offers little for those who re gard her film antics with indif ference, as I do. Campus film fare On campus, the Slavic Film Fes tival offers a film by Jerzy Skoli mowski tonight at 7 and 9:15 p.m. at 180 PLC. “Identification Marks: None” is a picture which pro - vides an incisive view of alien ated youth (remember those?) in a totally committed society, as seen through the eyes of a draft dodger pretending to study ichthy ology in Warsaw. “A Boring Afternoon,” the ac companying short subject, is an adaptation of a tale satirizing the common man’s contempt for the non-conformist. This should pro vide an illuminating discussion of personal prerogative, and all for $1.
