- r 1" ' n v ar - v w m 4 doily em Robert Redford: po wer, humanism Some men are made to live within civilization's confining bonds. Some aren't. Jeremiah Johnson was one who wasn't. Jeremiah Johnson is about a circa-1825 man who leaves society and its rules behind and strikes out into the Rocky Mountains to become a mountain man. But once there, he. realizes that even the wilderness has rules which must be obeyed to survive. Robert Redford, as Johnson, delivers a powerful portrayal of the quiet, introspective mountain man. . Instead of stumbling into a silent he-nun stereotype which could easily have been done with the film's limited dialogue Redford transmits an underlying humanism, without any disturbing sentimentality. Johnson survives the tests of the mountain environment and is accepted by the high country people. He establishes trading relationships with the Indian tribes, "adopts" an orphaned boy. But when Johnson breaks one, of the rules of the mountain society he loses his happiness and becomes a legend. The Indian-white relationship in Jeremiah Johnson offers a new slant on an old subject One in which neither is good or bad. It is one in which two different cultures can exist together. hrrykubert - ivhol can I sdy? Jeremiah Johnson is something that nine out of 10 westerns will never be . . . a fine motion picture. f Lights start flashing on Douglas 3 marquee by Carolyn Hull Lights are flashing around a brand-new marquee at the Douglas 3 Theatre, 13th and P. Following the trend towards multi-theatre design, the building has three screens. The Douglas Theatre Co., founded by Russell Brehm and Sen. Roman Hruska, began in 1952 with the 84th and Center Drive-In in Omaha With the Douglas 3 opening, the company now has 14 screens. The building combines multiple-screen, small auditorium theaters with a lower level of specialty shops, something unprecedented in theatre history, according to David Livingstone, Douglas Theatre Co. administrative assistant. Construction began in spring 1972. Opening has been delayed two months because of construction problems. "The weather has been . bad for construction and changes in design were made until we knew the Douglas 3 would be the culmination of the best features of our (two) other multi-units," he said. "The company has a lot of faith in downtown Lincoln. We think the new buildings going up, the NBC building, the Cooper complex, the Hilton Hotel and governmental offices, are indications that the area will be even stronger in the future," Livingstone said. With the boom in downtown movie screens, Livingston feels the "P-Street Film Row" is an apt description for the bigger choice now offered Lincoln movie-goers. "We really don't know what effect that will have on business but we've siien that where economic activity is already good, more people tend to come, Livingstone saia. With a larger offering of movies with varied fare and new theatres being an enjoyable experience, Livingstone feels more people will be drawn from television back to movie-going. "Outside of the fact that I've never seen a television screen or sound system that can compare with a movie experience, there is an excitement associated with getting out of the house and having a box of hot, buttered popcorn with the movie," Livingstone said.
