But after WWII, movies lost much of their import ance in the eyes of Americans. With tne auvcni ui icwuisiun, uic oaoy boom (which made television appealing to .t.,,c wha could not often afford babv sitters), and the increasing costs and profit motive of fd making, movies have become less accessible to audiences. It is especially inaccessible to those who are poor and from rural areas. n order to give more Nebraskans a chance to view some of America's most cherished film classics, Sheldon Film Theater is starting a state-wide travelling film exhibition titled "Rediscovering the American Cinema." Director and curator for this pilot pro ject is Terry Nygren. Nygreri has a master's degree in English from UN L As a graduate student, she spent a year at the University of Paris studying cinematography, film theory and film history. Also a part time fellow at UNL's Centennial College, Nygren, has a continuing interest in the image of women in film. Besides her duties as curator for the travelling film exhibition, she will also be teaching a course with Prof. Mary Jo Deegen on Women in the Media. Films selected for exhibition are Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush, Fritz Lang's Fury (starring Spencer Tracy), John Ford's Ford's Stagecoach , (starring John Wayne), The Grapes of Wrath (another John Ford film starring Henry Fonda), Alfred Hitch cock's (Suspicion, Orson Welles' Citizen Kane and George Cukor's Adam's Rib (starring Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy). Each month Ms. Nygren will visit each participating community at least once. Along with distri buting brochures, she wrote for the pro gram.

Nygren said she will let the sponsors decide what she will do when she visits their community, since the success of this program lies mainly with them. Tw projects similar According to Nygren, only two other projects similar to this one are in progress . One of them is in Minnesota and the other is in Colorado where foreign films are pre sented. If the program in Nebraska goes weU, Nygren hopes to see it continue as well as begin including foreign films, and recent American pictures made by independent film makers.
