Third Reich.
Schygulla, who became a Eu
ropean film star with her leading
role in "The Marriage of Maria
Braun," has just the right com
bination — abandoned puppy
attractiveness and Marilyn
Monroe sexuality — to carry the
part off
She is naively head-over
heels in love with Robert, yet
shows straight adult emotions
when she thinks of the lush
trappings of her success and its
effect on her relationship with
Robert Schygulla s simple style
is wonderful She portrays emo
tions with clarity and honesty,
without a trace of melodramatic
overacting
Director Rainer Werner Fass
binder is excellent, as usual His
actors relate with each other
realistically, yet without too
many complications and
additions.
He creates a realistic back
drop of wartime Europe, com
plete with blackouts and bomb
ing raids. He juxtaposes shots of
bloody battles with Lili's glitter
ing performances, and visions
of bombed-out buildings with
the luxuries enjoyed by Hitler’s
chosen few (Lili's apartment, for
instance, is basically an all
white fur-lined puffball).
Besides providing some strik
ing images and counterpoints,
Fassbinder’s backdrop gives
the film a sense of historic
authenticity that gives the story
extra impact This helps make
up for some problems with the
flow At times the film drags a
little, while at other times the
film skips through large chunks
of time without notice
These gripes are fairly minor,
however, in view of the excel
lence of the film in other areas
Although there are no stunning
social statements or awesome
intellectual ambiguities, ”Lili
Marleen" tells its story of star
crossed lovers with simplicity,
realism and grace

Play explores ‘exotic’ life
of poet, novelist
Benjamin Disraeli was an exotic, colorful, and con
troversial figure He was a novelist, a poet, a Jew, and a
prime minister of England, not necessarily in that order.
His life was also the inspiration for an Irish-American
playwright named Terrence Jones to write “Benjamin
Dizzy,“ a full-length play which will have its world
premier in the Villard Hall's Pocket Playhouse on Friday
night at 8
“Disraeli was a very witty man," says Jones, visiting
Eugene to serve as advisor for the play's production,
“and he was also very interested in power He was a
man driven by the need to achieve, to knock his way
past prejudice to become the prime minister."
According to Jones, most biographies on Disraeli
were just too romantic " Jones was interested in
getting past that to see what actually made the man tick
and what drove him to accomplish what he did The
thrust, therefore, of “Benjamin Dizzy" is Jones’ attempt
to get beyond the romanticism of Disraeli's life and look
at the real person and how he worked The play is a
portrait of his entire life
"Benjamin Dizzy" is essentially a one-person show
with University theatre doctoral student Stephan Yarian
playing the title role Jones chose that format over the
traditional one of using several characters because, “it
was the best way to cope with the problem of dealing
with his whole life I wanted to see him as a young man,
with his needs and ambitions, growing older," with all
the achievements and disillusionments his life con
tained
I just couldn't do that by concentrating on a single
incident."

Actor Stephan Yarian
The play is historically accurate. Most of the words
are Disraeli’s, culled and shaped from his novels,
letters, speeches, etc., although Jones did make alter
ations and additions.
"Some of Disraeli's words,” Jones says, “just didn’t
sound right when spoken. So the construction is mine,
but I used his wit and attitudes.”
Jones earned a bachelor’s degree from Notre Dame
and, in 1967, his master’s at the University He has since
lived in various parts of the United States and Europe,
mainly London, teaching and writing. His plays have
been produced both here and abroad. He is currently
living in Conneticut where he is working on his latest
play, “Throw Away,” which he calls "a sort of jumping
around on James Joyce's ‘Ulysses.’ ”
Although actor Stephan Yarian carries the play,
assistance is provided by actors D. Patrick Lawler!
Sarah Lucht, and Mark Schwahn, whom Jones uses to
“represent the attitude of the times."
Costumes are by Kris Shaughnessy. Barbara Ayers is
the stage manager, and Molli Fleming is the production
coordinator.
Benjamin Dizzy” plays this Friday and Saturday and
April 28 through May 1 All performances begin at 8 p.m.
in the small theatre located on the first floor of Villard
Hall.
