■ several new concepts to
1ST stage with this produc-
pnder has cast more than
won in the leading role and
rated the actors in the
pee nights.
According to Alexander, this
serves two purposes: gives the no
vice actor an opportunity to act
in a leading role and learn from the
more experienced actor; and gives
the audience a chance to see other
actors' interpretations of the part.
Alexander
has also brought back
the old theatre tradition of inter
mission entertainment.
Reservations for the play can be
made by calling 656-2631, ext.
356. Ticket prices are $3 for a-
dults, $2.50 for students and Gold
Card Holders, free if reservations
are made in advance.
CCRT is continuing to evaluate
their service to the community and
trying to increase and expand that
service to better serve the people
of Clackamas County, according to
Alexander.

Blood and bullets
By Scott Starnes
Of The Print
"The Gauntlet," a full
length motion picture starring
Clint Eastwood, is good, but
is below par when compared
to his previous films.
For the individuals who
crave for the violent episodes
of an Eastwood picture, the
film manages to produce fairly
adequate, quality and realistic
effects, but that's all.
One bogus incident in the
film was the modified armored
bus that Eastwood and his fe
male counterpart construct in
an effort to withstand an en-
tourage of bullets being fired
by the local police force.
Eastwood does not por
tray the tough, silent loner
in this film as in his past
films, and gets thoroughly
beaten up in one segment of
the film.
I found the characters cre
dible in the film and not too
exaggerated.
Those expecting a regular
Eastwood film of fighting, de
struction, and various other
violences, this is the movie to
see.
For the more critical movie
enthusiasts, expecting plotand
realism, save your money. The
film is not worth seeing.
