Classic films will return to screen
By Gerry Beltz
Assignment Reporter
True movie classics never die,
and Jennifer Speck is doing her
part to keep them alive.
Speck - manager of the
Cinema Twin Theatres, 201 N. 13th
St. - said she had been working for
a couple of months on the idea of
bringing older movies back to
Lincoln movie theaters for another
run on the silver screen.

“It started a couple of months
ago when we were showing ‘Out
To Sea,’” she said. “We had a lot of
customers who were older, and I
kept hearing them say that they
wished there were more movies for
them to go out and see.
“Many of the people I talked
with mentioned older movies, like
‘Singin’ In The Rain,’ and that they
just don’t make movies like that
anymore.”
After that, the proverbial ball
began to roll, Speck said.
She set up a display table in the
lobby of the Cinema Twin with
ballots asking patrons to give titles
of movies they wanted to see.
“The table itself has been taken
down, but anybody is still more
than welcome to stop in and give

ideas or support to this project,”
she said.
Speck said response thus far
has been very good.
“We’ve been getting a lot of
support, both from the older and
younger crowds.”
One interesting change Speck
said she noticed was when the col
lege students started coming back
to Lincoln for the fall semester.
“We were seeing more requests
for movies like ‘Grease’ and
‘Reservoir Dogs.’”
While “Singin’ In The Rain”
and “Casablanca” have been
receiving a great amount of votes,
Speck said a little movie about a
girl named Dorothy is on top.
“’The Wizard of Oz’ is the big
winner by far.”
Suggestions and influence on
what films to show has been com
ing from both sides of the ticket
booth, Speck said.
“I’ve always been a Judy
Garland fan,” she said.
The original concept of show
ing older films is where the project
will start, but the first movie has
not been decided yet, Speck said.
“The next step from here is to
talk to the film booker and see
what films we can get and what
would be the most successful,” she
said. “And then, (we’ll) try to book
it.”
That’s not as easy as it may
sound, however.
“The most difficult part is get
ting good prints,” said Frank
Rhodes, film booker for Douglas
Theater Company. “Many of these
classic movies are widely used,
and a lot of them are not good
prints, so it can be a struggle.”
Speck also pointed out another
key element that hasn’t been
decided upon - an opening date.
“We’re having to work around
our normal movie release sched
ule, but hopefully before the end
of the year we will have our first
show,” she said.
As plans go now, Speck said
older movies would have a one
week run, but this isn’t set in
stone.
“If we have a large audience
response to a movie, we’ll play it
longer. We’ll just have to wait and
see what happens.”
Student sells adultery anthology
By Jason Hardy
Staff Reporter
The word “adultery” traditionally
has carried with it a sour connotation,
but to John McNally, the word means
sweet success.
And for read
ers of his new
anthology on
infidelity, the
topic is anything
but bland.
McNally - a
University of
Nebraska
Lincoln English McNally
graduate student
awaiting his dissertation - edited the
collection on the secret seductions of
secret lovers.
Currently living in Iowa City,
Iowa, McNally will return to Lincoln
Friday to promote “High Infidelity:
24 Great Short Stories About
Adultery by Some of Our Best
Contemporary Authors.”
He will be at Barnes and Noble
Booksellers, 5150 O St., at 8 p.m. for
a book signing and reading.
McNally said the book covered
the entire spectrum of adultery. Some
stories deal with cheating husbands,
some with lesbian lovers. Some are
told through the thoughts of the
cheater and others as witnessed
through the eyes of a child.
McNally said he got the idea for
the book from flipping through mag
azines. He noticed every one con
tained a story about infidelity. Also,
McNally’s own experiences with an
unsatisfactory marriage piqued his
interest in the topic, he said.
“Nothing like a bad marriage to
give you good ideas,” he said.
After some research, McNally
found no anthologies of adultery sto
ries on the market, so he put together
a proposal accepted by William
Morrow and Company.
The book was published last sum
mer. It contains work by John
Updike, Margaret Atwood and T.C.
Boyle, as well as two stories by
Lincoln authors Amy Knox Brown
and Marly Swick.
Brown - a UNL English graduate
student, herself - also will be at the
book signing to read her story, “Ray
Sips a Low Quitter.”
She said the story deals with two
law school graduates, one of whom is
married and becomes romantically
involved while studying for the bar
exam.
Swick - Lincoln’s third represen
tative in the anthology - is a UNL
English professor. Her story, “A Hole
in the Language,” is about a lesbian
relationship between two neighbors.
Swick said her talents for writing
and teaching are represented by
McNally and Brown’s work with the
project. Both are former students of
hers, and Swick says it is exciting to
see them published.
“They’re doing really well,” she
said. “It feels really good.”
McNally said the book was doing
unusually well for an anthology,
which are usually hard to sell. He
attributed some of its success to the
fact that adultery is such a hot topic
today.
“I got lucky because of all the
famous people cheating on their
spouses,” McNally said.
