"We sampled cookies around the coun try, and developed cur recipes by putting together different things we liked," Al said. Their cookis restaurant has "modern appeal," Al said, with a lot of brass and little clutter. Do-I)iz, 120 N. 14th St., also has a rather sleek look, with black and white check ered linoleum and a snazzy neon sign. It's been around for a little more than a year, according to employee Thcr Fleming, sel ling a variety of cookies, Including the Do-Biz special and the gar bsge great. The garbage great Includes coconut, granola, nuts, oatmeal and chocolate and but terscotch chips. Other Do-Bti specialties are Bizwiches cookie and ice cream sandwiches and a variety of other cookies not on the regular menu. Do-Blz also sells dough by the quarter pound. About one-third of Do-Biz's business Is wholesale, Fleming said. The store sells cookies to Sam's and Yellow Sub restau rants, among other places. A good portion of the in-store pur chases are made by UNL students, Flem ing said. A Do-Biz cookie sells for 601 and large decorated cokies go for $4.05. A Cookie Company cookie costs 50f, according to that store's Jovial owner Liz Wanamaker, who got into the business "quite by accident "I made cookies and decorated them for the Children's Zoo and other places . . . I've always liked to cook. . .A friend called me up one day and said 'You wanna go into the cookie business? and I said yes," Wanamaker said. Her store is the oldest of the cookie businesses. It's now in its sixth year. Wanamaker said her store's strengths are "variety and quality." The Cookie Company does intricate decorations. "We're aU terrific artists in here," Wana maker said. "We really like to personalize a cookie." A store employee, who perferred to be called by her first name only, Pat, said the most memorable cookie she has deco rated was a kiwi on a bicycle as a gift for someone moving to New Zealand. The Cookie Company makes their own Christmas cookies, from dough to deco rations, in addition to the decorating they do year round. They also make deliveries for orders of $15 or more, and sell cookies to several businesses around town. Wanamaker said her store provides cookies for parties, customer appreciation days and other similar events. The Cookie Company sells a "giant dec orated cookie" for $3.25 and a full sheet cookie (16 by 24 inches) for $15. They always have a carrot cake and brownie3 and they sell a variety of apple, blueberry and other flavor bars as well as a variety of rolb. Wanamaker said she has several regu lar customers. Like the other cookie joints, most of The Cookie Company's clientele is students and downtown people. Wana maker welcomed the competition. wr n poms ez&w imuy on f) coacte IMTKiTtUSS turn Of YCm,7UL A so m CAtmm for v.r. mw9 r tw wmtwt of eioom corny KNwm mm weu,WMrnetmrtNP!. 'J . v.- Hitclwockfilm shows Peeping Tom 's insight By Tcgsr C;v; Daily NefcnssJtan tx7 Exporter Who's next door and what's he up to? That question is posed and answered by "Rear Window," an Alfred Hitchcock classic film now playing at the Plaza Four. The answer to the question of what's going on next door is not always what wants to see, as Jimmy Stewart discovers. IGV2S Stewart plays an invalid pho tographer recovering from a broken leg. Hb confinement leads "him to look outside his small city apartment at the multitude of windows and lives open to his gaze. The people he watches are the usual stereo types: the young newlyweds, the frustrated artist, the lonely widow and the quarreling couple. First using binoculars and then the telephoto lens of his camera, he takes special interest in the apartment of Lars Thorwdd, played by Ray mond Burr. In the Thorwald apartment lies the usual theme of murder and suspense, all open to the gaze of Stewart and the audi ence. This voyeurism arouses the curiousity.of the viewer, whose attention is riveted to the every suspicion and obser vation of Stewart and later his girlfriend, Lisa Fremont, played by the late Grace Kelly. This unique perspective places contemporary city life in a microcosm of just one row of apartments. Stewart's nurse warns him about his "Peeping Tom behaviorism" and that it will only lead to trouble. The audience has that feeling too, for every Hitchcock film must have some trouble. Eventually all the main characters of the Stewart apartment are convinc ed that something is amiss across the way. Kelly and Ste wart's nurse, played by Thelma Kilter, are the arms and legs of Stewart and the audience. The film reaches its climax when Stewart finally has con clusive proof of Burr's guilt and confronts him. The scene with Stewart fending off the rotund, raging Burr with only flashbulbs sounds silly, but the ending is appropriate for the ' villian as well as the nosy pho- tcgrapher. The end makes one feel good, the horrible summer heat is gone. Stewart and Kelly are getting along and the rest of the neighborhood is back to a normal, if not totally happy, existence. Rather than the high sus pense and terror of many Hitchcock films, "Rear Window" fills in the dramatic gaps with light humor. The quarreling between Stewart and Kelly is paralleled by the bickering of the other couples in the neigh borhood. The suspicion, scrut iny and tenacity of Stewart keeps the film moving, although there are no scene changes and very little action or vio lence. Hitchcock subtly keeps the audience enthralled by feeding bits of Burr's murder conspiracy to the audience and letting their imaginations and that of Stewart run on. Seeing what we're not sup posed to is what Jimmy Ste wart does. He is in the real world of murder and conspi racy, while the audience has the luxury of experiencing it from a safe, secure theater seat. is 7 t 1 1 &5K,?5rs Weddi Xi. u rt vr ii Hi vv- k- JJm Now' mr Compfefa f.sba Musk Entsrtdnnicnt rig Receptions School Dances Parties Professional faund System Fabutous Light Show Snerial rrti ennskt of Eilbh'SS & FKI Musis Library with Hits from ths Last 50 years.
