Al said hi3 cookies aren't the kind you
can make at home.
"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.

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.
