For Pete's Sake is' an inferior rip-off of Peter Bagdonovich's What's Up 3oc? And once again it has Barbara Steisand doing what she does best and, admittedly, very weii: fast talking with crossed eyes in some inspired bits of crazy, nonsensical dialogue. Michael Sarrazin, her husband, however, is really only a marginal character, providing Barbara with a kissable sex object as the pair grappie like rabbits at every opportunity. ' It's easy to see why Steisand is one of the few dominant female movie star forces. The first part of For Pete's Sake is slower but comes off better, especially in scenes where Steisand good naturedly bickers and and trades insults over racial items with her black maid. But later, when the film is turned loose to run rampant over a silly plot that has Barbara trying to pay back a $3000 debt she borrowed on a pork belly investment, it all becomes very tiring. 379 Taoe 4.79 LP 3.79 Tape 4.79 UncGln'oJargost selection Si nf nhlnnl rn r.k fntlr . w w W w f I V W I f f Vff i and pzz In Ip 's 1 and tapes! l t . . ; .1 y 5 .1.1 M in,tho G!ai3 Mcnagcrio 1 .iw y......?... . , i Li V-k k-J f; y lb u l3 1i t . ' LP 3.79 Tape 4.79 U f - i In "Jl 'Ag?f e s aVe, but weak By Dave Ware What can be said about Lincoln's night life? To be only fair, there is a lack eff it, and what activity you find in many cases barely qualifies as night survival. However, the night scene is far from empty. The following is a starting list to give a few safe choices: Der Loaf Und Stein Featuring third-rate live music on the weekends, Der Loaf offers a wide open atmosphere, stiff drinks and a game room for those inclined. The Morocco Lounge It occupies a unique posi tion in the Lincoln social scene' honest-to-good-ness belly dancing, to be found nowhere else in town. Cliff's Lounge Down stairs at Cliff's Smoke Shop, it has drinks that while small and a bit expensive, are always &ell-mixed. Unfortu nately, the entertainment is not of the same class. Visit Cliff's in the after noon. St. George and the Dragon Upstairs, fair food you can cook yourself it that is your fancy. Downstairs, good music and the chance to dance without feeling self-conscious. Cheapest mixed drinks in town and a spelndld time if the music's volume doesn't get on your nerves. Royal Grove On West Ccrnnusker, this is Lin coln's home of rock. Per-haps-not the finest music, but there aro nights when all other places seem too civilized. Reuben's At Gate way shopping center, it has built a reputation for good dining and drinking without any gimmicks. The high prices are justi fied by the good food and the better than average service. The Open Latch Hands down the nicest decor In Lincoln. The Latch suffers from its connection with Scott's Pancake House which handles the food, But the Latch has managed to maintin the quality of its beer-cheese soup and cheese bread.
