Probably the best chance for entertainment this weekend is up
in Omaha in the Old Market. Opening last night at the Sweetness
and Light satirical theater was a uniquely named show, The Day
the Commie Pinkos Took Council Bluffs.
As you can guess this play doesn't take place in the present, not
with Nebraska politically oriented as it is now, rather it gazes some
fourteen years into the future where it takes a look at post-Nixon
America and the world.
The play plays special attention to the topics of sex education,
woman's liberation, increased leisure time, the welfare state and
campus riots.
Show times are Thursday and Sunday at 8 p.m., Friday at 8 and
10 p.m. and Saturday at 8, 10 p.m. and midnight. You might also
make some reservations before you go trooping up to Omaha.
For those of you who have heard the rumors that Hair was
closed down in Kansas City, forget it. Captain Bad hasn't become
that powerful yet.
According to the Capri Theater Monday, Hair .is still going
strong. Unfortunately the show is sold completely out for the rest
of its run, but don't give up hope. There is always the chance for
cancellations.
In Lincoln there is a group called Righteous Bluegrass down at
the Cattman's Lounge. Supposedly you can clap, stomp and drink
to them, 1 favor the latter. Their show starts at 8:30 p.m. nightly.
Also in Omaha is the opening of Neil Simon's comedy The Odd
CouplcsM the Westroads Dinner Theater next Tuesday. The show
begins at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday through Saturdays and at 7:30
p.m. on Sundays. There are 2 "p. m. matinees on Sunday and
Wednesdays.
The Odd Couple is the first of three Neil Simon comedies which
are scheduled to run for four consecutive weeks at the Westroads.
Remember Who 's A fraid of Virginia Woolf?s, at the Remaining
Lincoln Community Playhouse, show dates are Feb. 12, 13, 14, 19,
20 and 21.
For interested vocalists the Assistance League of Denver is
sponsoring regional auditions for the San Francisco Opera.
Tentative audition dates are April 17 and 18 at Temple Buell
College.
Auditions are open for men between the ages of 22 and 34 and

Marshmallow creme at its best. Ryan O'Neal and AH MacGraw star
ring in Love Story, prepare to move to New York City.
'Love Story9 aims at adolescents
by KELLEY BAKER
Erich Segal, the gosh-golly
Mary Poppins of evening talk
shows and author of Love
Story, has been saying of late
that the movie version of his
syrupy best seller is even better
than the book (gee-whillikers,
is that possible?).
Having read the book, 1
doubted that the film version
could be worse. Having see the
film, I'm not so sure.
At best, Love Story should
have been serialized in True
Confessions or some other sub
literary publication. The fact
that it is a runaway best seller
gives testimony to the number
of physical and mental thirteen
year olds in this country.
The story line is simple. ..it's
an old rag that has been
exhumed and given new life
with the infusion of some tart
language and a modern setting.
Rich intelligent athletic star
WASP boy meets poor
intelligent Catholic musical
genius girl.
Great expressions of love
follow such as playing football
in snow, wrestling in snow,
making snow angels, much
gazing into eyes, etc. Boy's
father disowns him for
marrying out of social
class...struggles... hardship... girl
dies of leukemia. The only
saving grace for this drivel
would be if the girl had died of
leukemia before the film
began.
The performances of the
actors lend no redeeming social
value to the film. Ali MacGraw
as the diseased heroine is given
too many lines. Like Katherine
Ross, she should not have to
struggle with more than ten
lines per film and should spend
the rest of the time as window
dressing. Macgraw grates and
smirks her way through the
trite script with far less acting
ability than I've seen in many
high school productions. Ryan
O'Neal is more professional
and tolerable in a role which
requires him to wander around
looking pained most of the
film.
Technical aspects of Love
Story are as poor as the
performances. Jerky editing
and pacing leave the impression
that the film was put together
by man in an epileptic seizure.
Despite the poor production
and lack of acting, Love Story
will leave many viewers awash
in the aisles. Like the lost dog
finding its way home and the
blind girl whose sight returns,
MacGraw's death will pull the
string that makes strong men
weep so that the doors could
be opened and the audience
floated out when the show's
over.
I can only agree with Judith
Christ who referred to
MacGraw's constant
scatalogical comments and
concluded that never before
has a film so clearly called for
toilet tissue instead of kleenex.
