Review by Joel Sartore

There's a bit of history showing
at the Sheldon Memorial Art
Gallery until Dec. 20.
"Color. Photographs from the
Permanent Collection" is a show
that represents a milestone for
the gallery, said Anthony Mon
toya, Sheldon's photography cur
ator. "It's the first time weVe done a
show that's devoted specifically
with the idea of color," Montoya
said. One of the reasons for this is
the size of the museum's collec
tion. "It wasnt until recently that we
had enough to have a show," he
said.
The show now on display con
sists of 32 prints. Montoya esti
mated the gallery now has three
times this amount in its perman
ent collection.
Collecting color images is some
thing many museums are now
starting to do, Montoya said.
"It was scorned because of its
impermanence," he said. In the
past, color images tended to fade
or have colors shift a few years
after they were printed. Now,
with long-lasting methods of color
printing available, "some muse
ums have jumped on the band
wagon" of color image collecting,
he said.
One permanent color print
making technique is the Fresson
method. Several photos with this
technique are displayed. Another
more permanent method, al
though much older, i3 dye-transfer
printing. Color pioneers such as
Henry Holmes Smith and Elliot
Porter used the dye-transfer
method, and several of their prints
are on display. Even the more
common color techniques of Type
C (color couplers) and the versa
tile Polaroid are exhibited with
prints by Joel Meyerowitz, John
Pfahl and Steven Shore.
Because the show mixes tech
niques of the past with those of
today, a historical quality re
sounds throughout the exhibit.
As far as artistic expression is
concerned, the show is divided
up into four genres. Natural or
sedate works line one wall, bor
dered on each side by contem
porary landscape images and
works of spatial ambiguity. In a
smaller room next to the main
exhibit are several works dealing
with figurativity. All images ex
press a broad range of the color
methods available to artists of
the past and present.
Squier music,
lights outshine
sound problem
Review by

Concert fans who expected to see a
one-man show were surprised as they
were treated to an excellent warm-up
featuring Molly Hatchet and an equally
outstanding performance by headliner
Billy Squier, Friday night at Pershing
Auditorium.
Molly Hatchet got the fans going with
classics such as "Satisfied Man." The fans
were ready to go, and the Southern rock
played by Molly Hatchet picked them up.
Molly Hatchet's 45-minute set was the
perfect start to a night of rock'n'roll.
Billy Squier opened to an anxious crowd.
Squier made his first-ever stop in Lincoln
one to remember as he played the best
songs from his last three albums.
Aside from the music, Squier's light
show also was impressive. Squier did not
use the standard lighting system. He used
moveable circular sections. The lights
could focus on Squier or provide the
appropriate background lighting for the
rest of the band.
One drawback may have been the sound.
At Pershing Auditorium, the crowd sur
rounds only three sides of the stage and
the stage itself is enclosed, forcing the
sound to reverberate. At times, the sound
level was too loud. Squier's voice could
barely be heard in some places in the
auditorium, and it became a problem at
times. But it was not enough to dampen
the party atmosphere.
Concert fans often prefer to hear a per
former's old music, rather than the new.
Squier played some of his best selections
from "Dont Say No," and "Emotions in
Motion," but gave fans a good sample of
his current album, "Signs of Life." Some of
his best songs "The Stroke," "My Kinda
Lover," and "Rock Me Tonite" were his
best Friday, and the fans were involved in
them.
Squier succeeded in getting the crowd
into a frenzy. Pershing Auditorium was
jammed for the performance and the
fans did not leave empty-handed. They
got a taste of Squier's talent, and they
were actively involved in the performance.
Many times Squier roamed around the
stage, looking for response from the fans.
He had no problem getting it.

'The Eyes, The Mouth' presents
accurate view of personal hang-ups
Eeview by Eoger Qniiiag
Dally Nebraska Staff Reporter
Marco Beiloechio has done it again. His
newest movie, "The Eyes, The Mouth," is
another in-depth study of Bellocchio's
psychoanalytic playground. The 100-minute
film will show tonight for the last time
at the Sheldon Film Theatre at 7 pjn.
The movie portrays character named
Giovanni who comes home for his broth
er's funeral His brother committed sui
cide. At home he must, of course, fall in
love with his brother's pregnant fiance.
Not that people think Vanda is pregnant
by hi3 brother. In fact, Vanda couldn't
stand his brother. Her pregnancy and her
subsequent abortion are dealt with in a
minimum of shots. But then again, this is
not a movie about her.

MoUy Hatchet
guitarist says
touring 'tedious'
By Mike George
Dally Nebraskan Staff Reporter -
Molly Hatchet has been in the rock
music business for many years, and they
have been on the road since 1977. Hatchet
opened for Billy Squier in Lincoln Friday.
Molly Hatchet lead guitarist Dave Hlu
bek said in a post-concert interview that
touring is far from a normal life.
"You can find it tedious, it can wear you
down, it is far from the tinsel town image
that everyone sees," Hlubek said. "Every
time I get a chance to go home, I come
home and find my children to be much
older than I last seen them." Hlubek is
married and has two children.
Hlubek said it is tough to make it from a
local band to one that is well known.
"We were for a long time the house
band at Livandas in Jacksonville, Fla.,
and we would go to concerts and dream
of what it would be like to be up there
ourselves," Hlubek said. "It was a lot of
work and a lot of time. It was sometimes
like a merry-go-round where the faster it
goes the more chance you have of falling
off. We just hung on."
Hlubek said the reason Molly Hatchet is
still around playing rock 'n' roll is because
its members are just like "normal people."
"We are no different than anybody
else," Hlubek said. "Molly Hatchet are just
a bunch of guys who like to play music.
We don't conform to the new, exciting
styles or fads. We don't change much, and
we think people like that."
Molly Hatchet has made seven albums,
and Hlubek has written most of the
music.
"I am the principal song writer for the
band," Hlubek said. "Out of a 10-song
album, I would have written seven to nine
songs on it."
Hlubek said he likes what he is doing
with the band.
nat we're doing is fun, I love Molly
Hatchet and everything it does," Hlubek
said. "I will be with it forever."
Hlubek insisted Molly Hatchet would
come back to Lincoln and be better than
ever.
"We want to thank the people of Lin
coln for their warm reception," Hlubek
said. "We hope we gave Lincoln their
money's worth, if we didn't, we owe you
one. We will be back to Lincoln soon.
Merry Christmas from Molly Hatchet"
