Anne Frank, played by Jill Anderson, leafs through her new diary given to her by her father. Mr
'Diary of Anne Frank' opens
at UNL Theatre tonight
UNL Theatre opens its 1985-86 sea
son tonight with "The Diary of Anne
Frank."
The play is a dramatization of the
lives of eight Jews in wartime Amster
dam. It was adapted from the diary
kept by the youngest of the group, Anne
Frank.
"Diary" portrays the fearful, tedious
lives led by Anne Frank and the others
as they secluded themselves in a ware
house attic for over two years, hiding
from the Gestapo and death.
Although the Frank van Daan fami
lies and a dentist lived in constant fear
of being found, Anne's record of the
seclusion they experienced had little
that was grim in it. Instead, it was
filled with the young girl's gossipy tales
of the fights, intimacies, jealousies,
humorous incidents and noble impulses
among her family and the four others
who shared the attic hideaway.
Anne was 13 years old when she
started the diary. It's filled with the
exuberance, dreams, wishes, and hopes
of a teenage girl who has her life ahead
of her. The play captures the. special
beauty of life as experienced by a
young girl, and thus has captured the
hearts of the millions who have seen it
performed around the world.
When the diary was first published,
it seized considerable attention, but
the story of Anne and the others
achieved worldwide fame when it was
made into a play. The play has won
many awards, from the New York Drama
Critics' Award to the Pultizer Prize.

Mixed bag of songs -by OMB
threaten band with pop fame

t
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the
Dark, "Crush." A & M Records.
This band's name, like their music,
is eerie and eloquent. They are better
known by the acronym OMD, and they
have contributed some of the most
melodic and delightfully dismal music
to the British new-wave scene.
One would never know it after
listening to the first four tracks on
their latest release, "Crush."
Record Review
"So in Love," side one's opener, is
pop pabulum at its best. It's got all
those upbeat rhythms and sappy lyrics
that make teen-age Rick Springfield
fans go wild with desire:
"Heaven is cold Without any
soul It 's hard to believe I was so
in love with you. "
. . . Yawn! A hack writer for Harlequin
Romance couldn't have said it better.
The other cuts, like "Secret" and
"Women 3" are equally banal, with
lightly subdued rhythms and droning
vocals that sound like The Smiths
when they are in a good mood.
Side two also brings relief. "88
Seconds in Greensboro" is a diverting

"dark and scary" ditty replete with
vibrating bass riffs and a monotone
chorus that will thrill fans of The Cure
and Sisters of Mercy.
"The Native Daughters of the Golden
West" is another spinetingler with a
sepulchral, synthesized tempo and lyrics
that carry an unusual feminist stance:
' 'In ecstacy they cry to know If
their parents' love will let them
go Their mother 's pride,father 's
joy They thank the stars they're
not boys. "
"Crush" is one of OMD's less ambi
tious efforts. Side one's banality proves
that they are staking their claim on the
commercial pop territory that they've
yet to occupy in the U.S. But the
sophisticated sound of side two shows
that they have too much talent to waste
on lucrative love songs like "So In
Love." Maybe they will wise up before
it's too late and they have a No. 1 song
and are splashed across the cover of
"16" magazine.
