The comedy was produced last year on Broadway, he said, and received encouraging reviews. In addition to the current popularity ol Coward, Lewis said Private Lives is considered one of his best efforts.

Often, characterizations are misleading assumptions and a personal injustice. Taste in music also, is frequently a victim of false association. I am a student, but that does not require allegiance to "acid" rock. I am a farmer, but that does not imply fanatic admiration for country music. Musical preference develops not only from lifestyle but is susceptible to mood. After a chaotic day I might appreciate a peaceful aftermath and , quiet evening around a piano bar rather than a crowded dance floor. Occasional defiance of stereotyped entertainment " is easily remedied in Lincoln. Although establishments featuring entertainment are limited in number, diversity is available. There are night spot presenting rock, country, folk, cocktail and dance music. So if the feeling is there don't fight it. The rustic decor and quiet atmosphere of the Open Latch assures you of a relaxinj evening. This weekend either Sally or Davt Landis on guitar will provide a versatile yet subdued sound. Fanny's draws a crowd, but the reason escapes me. They book traveling groups which all seem to feature unoriginal versions of the top forty. Surely, a musical troupe now appearing nightly, is an exception and shows enthusiasm and a ref reshing approach to pop t unes. Uncle Sam's reigns superior in the recent revitalization of discotheques. The music is mixed, much geared toward the newer dances. If you prefer to sit this one out, dancing is a great spectator sport. Although a variety of entertainment is scheduled at the Zoo, their calling card is quality blue grass and country music. Jon Emery, country-western performer, offers handclappin' and footstompin' music beginning Thursday. Little Bo's East and West are "best described as mediocre discotheques. If you can tolerate the waiting lines, over-spirited crowds and obscene contests (largest bosoms), Bo's Center's live entertainment is usually worth your patience. Bittersweet, a talented musical repertoire, is scheduled this week. ri MUM .li., ; ; ; r z ; Now At 2:00 4:30 7:00-9:20 ITS MORE THAN JUST A GAME!
