Son Mouse is not a new rock group. . . instead, it's the name
of an old man. But what an old man!
Son House may be old (he's in his 70's) but he still plays a
mean guitar and still wails the blues. He and another
singer-guitarist, Danny Cox, will give a free concert Friday at 8
p.m. at the Union fountain.
According to House, "In the blues, you got to have a male
and a female and they have to be in love. One has been
deceived by the other. . . and that's the blues."
Cox is not a blues singer in the same league with House,
rather he concentrates more on contemporary songs.
If you want to hear the real down-home, grass-roots blues
and very probably a good concert, for free, catch Son House
and Danny Cox
The Sweetness and Light Theater was supposed to have
been down to Lincoln Monday, May 3, for a free show in the
Union's South Crib. They never showed up!
Word is that they (Sweetness and Light) got the dates
confused and thought they were supposed to come down on
Tuesday, May 4. Attempts to rebook the group are now
underway and hopefully they will be down in the near future.
Speaking of Sweetness and Light, their next show is
opening May 13, up in the Old Market in Omaha. Entitled The
All Dirty Revue, the show will try to prove that sex is not
necessarily dirty, nor is dirt necessarily sexy.
Other highlights of the show include an examination of
airline stewardesses, a look at teenage lust in the 1950's with a
cinema classic, Rebel Without a Blackboard, and a triumphant
return by the Supremo Brothers in a shocking exhibition of
sexuality and masculinity.
Show times are Thursdays and Sundays at 8 p.m.; Fridays
at 8 and 10 p.m. and Saturdays at 8, 10 and 1 2 p.m.
The final production of Howell Theatre this semester is
Blithe Spirit, directed by Dr. Joseph Baldwin. Blithe Spirit
opens its run Friday at 8 p.m. Other performance dates are
Saturday, May 8, and Monday through Saturday, May 10-15.
Curtain remains at 8 p.m. for all productions.
Chicago, the jazz-rock group, will give a concert Thursday
at 8:30 p.m. at Pershing AuditoriumTickets are going fast, but
you still might be able to get some at the door Thursday night.
Ticket prices are $5 and $6.
Speaking of rock groups and Pershing Auditorium,
Bloodrock is supposed to be scheduled into Pershing for a
concert on June 6. I don't know ticket prices yet, but will let
you know when I do.
The Apple Tree is still running weekends at Lincoln
Community Playhouse.
El Chicano, a heavy Latin rock group, will be here Monday,
May 10, at the Union fountain. The concert is free and will
begin at 7 p.m.
Saturday, May 15, Unicorns will sponsor a dance in the
Union Ballroom from 8-11:30 p.m. featuring the 13th
Amendment. Admission is $1 for singles and $1.75 four

Review by
PAUL BAKER
Every dedicated movie-goer
should see at least one movie
that is pure garbage--if you are
a dedicated movie-goer, and
have seen one of these films,
then you don't have to go see
Doctors' Wives, now showing
at the Varsity Theater.
What do I mean by garbage?
Well, let me begin with the
story.
Five dedicated doctors . Five
dedicated doctor's wives.. One
of these women is a sexy
blonde who is given lines like:
"God, I'm horny!" Her
husband, the neuro-surgeon,
shoots her and gets the doctor
underneath her bv mistake.
The wounded doctor's life is
saved by Richard Crenna, the
heart surgeon, and his black
nurse (with whom Dick is, of
course, having an affair). Dick's
wife "knows about this affair
and starts shooting morphine.
Pathos and turmoil as
everyone awaits the sexy
blonde's funeral. Several
breasts are shown to get an
"R" rating and Cass Elliot sings
a symbolic song. The screen is
set for the dramatic ending.
The black nurse interrupts
the funeral because her little
boy needs a brain operation.
The only doctor who can save
the kid is the neuro-surgeon,
whom Crenna gets out of jail
to perform the operation. The
neuro-surgeon, who has been
extorting Crenna and Co.
because his wife hit the sack
with all of them, tells Dick to
leave the keys in the car
because he's escaping after
surgery. .
In the midst of the
operation we see a
confrontation between Dick's
wife and the black nurse, we
see one of the wives admit to a
lesbian act with the sexy
blonde and a seduction or two.
In the explosive climax the
operation is a success and the
neuro-surgeon escapes, only to
find that Dick's keys aren't in
the car; Blondie's daddy has
them. Dick thanks Blondie's
daddy.
What else can be said? The
acting was mono-value, the
directing unimaginative, the
script dead, the film quality
was not uniform and the
editing mediocre. Technically
(costumes, set, etc.) it was up
to Valley of the Dolls.
On the positive side, the
heart operation was interesting
and realistic, and one or two
scenes showed a tinny glimmer
of hope.
My advice on the film is:
don't waste your money.
