Rock 'n' roll may never die, but
the extremely low turnout of fans
at Pershing Auditorium on Fri
day surely didn't help much to
perpetuate the cause. Neverthe
less, Billy Satellite and Jefferson
Concert
Review
Starship cranked out the tunes
for about 2,600 concert-goers.
Starship press agent Nadine
Condon said there had been no
consistent pattern to ticket sales
througout the tour. It wag up and
down the whole time without
rhyme or reason, she said.
But the sparse attendence did
not appear to diminish the two
bands' desire to put on a good
show. Their playful antics and
casual interactions with one an
other and with the audience high
lighted the musical attraction.
These did not appear to be two
bands at the end of a three-month-long
tour.
Starship drummer Danny Bald

band on two songs, and members

'Thief of Hearts' has mindless plot
By Eoger Qdrin
Daily Nebraska tsfl Reporter
Steven Bauer stars in the movie
Thief of Hearts" now playing at
the Cinema I and II. He delivers a
very solid performance in his
debut as the next male sex object
of the golden screen.
.eview
His role required sex appeal
and a GQ wardrobe with lots of
black in it. He gets to drive a van
and a sports car. The van is his
burglar-mobile. His character role,
Scott Muller, requires that he
burglarize homes of the rich to
steal away expensive art and the
family silver. His opening breaking-and-entering
scene is convincing
and even looks sort of fun. The
technicalities of how he gets the
goods down to his van without
being seen by the neighbors must
have been beyond Hollywood. It
is obviously beyond the size of
some of the stuff he has taken in
the past Muller is a king of thieves.
His average net profit is 100 grand
per house.
Now that we know that Muller
is a single successful guy, we find
out that his next problem is sex.
His manager &rd low-Ufa friend
Buddy helps him out and sets
him up for an hour. Mailer's pity
for the teen-age hooker is touch
ing. He doesnt get involved with
her, but he gives her enough
money to buy a new dress, a nice
one. His gesture, is better than
nothing, right?
Muller even rises above the
cocaine crises of his pal Buddy.
He doesnt get into drugs. As he
tells his.friend Buddy, 'You're a
great guy. Dent kill yourself on
that."
Once we know our hero isnt
into teen-age. sex or drugs he
starts to read "her diaries. "Her"
is Micki Davis, cr "I-.!:chb" If you
are her fantasy man. That is the
kind of dissxies they are. Get the
general idea? -

There was, however, one tras- presence of a guy running around

After reading f.iicki's fantasies,
Muller literally runs into her at
the supermarket. The scene is
fun. Haagen-Das must have paid
something to get the ice-cream
feature. For that matter, so did
the company that sells her hus-
band's typewriter. Mickfs best line
is when she tells Muller, "You
seem to have a lot of time to go
shopping."
He hires her to decorate his
industrial strength apartment a
la "Flashdance." In the course of
decorating his bedroom, her
dreams come true. A later scene
shows them shot on opposite ends
of her studio. She is shot against

the acceptable civilized world. He
is filmed against nature's world.
Their conflicting worlds of reason
and passion seem doomed. If you
want to know what happens, see
the movie,
"Thief of Hearts" could have
been a film classic. It could have
been another "Body Heat." It's
not. Hollywood m giving us happy
endings. I dont know why, maybe
because it's an election year. If
you want to see a lot of Steven
Bauer, this movie is for you. If you
like well-constructed scenes and
good camera work, this movie is
adequate. If you want a good plot
or storyline, dont bother. There
is nothing to worry about, it's
mindless.
