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.

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.
