Trash, Andy Warhol's blockbuster, is playing
through Friday at the Embassy Theatre and
would be well worth the viewing.
Unfortunately, the Embassy isn't the best place
to view it.
The low screen, low ceiling and unelevated
floor of the moviehouse make it an exercise in
neck-stretching to see the film. In other words,
it's plain uncomfortable. ,
But since Trash has reaped nothing but
laudatory reviews, it should ease the pain of the
surroundings a bit. Directed by Paul Morrissey,
it stars Joe Dallesandro with Jane Forth and
Holly Woodlawn.
'Trash recounts the misadventures of Joe
Holly, a young couple struggling to get by in
New York City. Joe attracts outlandish
characters wherever he goes, and Holly nurtures
an obsession for collecting trash." That's what
the PR for the movie says. I suggest seeing it
while it's it town. You mav kick yourself later.
Unfortunately the Special Films committee
has decided to cancel its own showing of Trash,
which had been scheduled for Dec. 6.
Committee members figured the Embassy
showing would cut into their own audience for
the movie.
The cancellation forced a shuffling of the
Special Films schedule, however. "Punishment
Park," originally set for Oct. 17, now will be
shown Dec. 6.
On Oct. 17 the Special Films committee has
German film-maker and poet Kriwet scheduled.
He'll discuss film and, I suppose, poetry. More
information will be available at a latter date
This Tuesday Kimball Recital Hall will be

the Stuart Theatre and will be presented
"twice-nightly, as in the past. This week there'll
be an extra free showing at 4 p.m. You'll have
purchase tickets from a member of the film
society, from a booth in the Nebraska Union or
from the Union Program office before the
performance.
A foreign film ticket is a good investment. In
the past, the series has presented good films and
this year's schedule looks like no exception.
Friday night Black Oak Arkansas will play in
concert at Pershing Auditorium. Black Oak
backed up Grand Funk last year and have a
couple of albums to their credit. I imagine its
show is about as it was then-loud, lacking in
musically redeeming value and full of
pretentious mugging and strutting about the
stage. Oh well, you pay your money and you
take your chances.
The Weekend Film will be Love My Wife
with Jack Lemmon. I know nothing about the
movie, but I do know you'd better get in line
early-Weekend Films usually are a sellout.

Good Reading:
144 Piccadilly by Samuel Fuller, available
from Dutton, belies the subheading above in
that it is bad reading. Hopefully this warning
will stop unsuspecting readers from spending
$5.95 on it.
144 Piccadilly is a supposedly ficticious
recreation of the actual events surrounding a
squatters take-over of an unoccupied mansion
in London. The players include hippie
squatters, sadistic bikers and skinheads,
supported by the inclusion of several thousand
passers-by.
Fuller, a film-maker (Pickup on South
Street) and ex-reporter, makes his position clear
from the outset when he says hippies generally
are not his bag. "I had always felt like
castrating their sort," he confides to the reader.
; I I r fi j:
$ --rm
Albert Rometo . . . featured
percussionist of Tuesday's faculty recital
at Kimball Recital Hall.
And his cast-rating is, at best, a
two-dimensional representation of pacifists,
one-eyed bikers and hippies drooling for tex.
Fuller uses his cast to prove beyond a doubt
that the truth behind rebellious youth is that
they come from broken homes.
Unfortunately, Fuller offers no hint of any
real intellectual or emotional understanding of
a counter-cultural affrontment to ignorance or
inhibition. Subsequently he never is appealingly
perceptive in his analysis. Because he has cashed
in on a scene that he is fundamentally unable to
grasp, regardless of its merits or shortcomings,
nothing particularly cogent comes out of his
experience.
Frankly, his images are horrible, Seldom do
they overcome the cliche or the anti-climactic.
An unbelievable heroin experience segment
comes off as poorly contrived fakery. Fuller is
painfully out of his element, and he remains
remarkably unenlightened, even as to his own
presence at "144."
