'Exit' Stimulates Thought
By BION BEEBE
Kansan Reviewer
Who do we ever realize that this thing called existence must end? Who do we ever realize that this thing called existence must end? Where do we ever realize that this thing called existence must end? Where do we people find the courage for those last moments of these. These are Eugene and Emperor, Play "Exit the King" deals with.
"Exit the King" is being presented at 8:20 p.m. today, Saturday and Sunday in the Westminster Center. It is directed by Michael Naan, a theaterist. His production is stimulating, puzzling, sad, funny, thought-provoking and intensely human.
Beringer 1, king of a great country, has lived and ruled for many centuries. He has done everything an angel could do, worried about his death. It may happen to others but it will never happen to him.
Berenger is all men in all times.
The king is the last to know that he is about to die. His two wives
Movies...
“GIMME SHELTER” The Rocking Stones and Mickey Jagger and Alamont, not particularly refreshing, and questionable in its quality.
"HUSBANDS"—Three on a binge. Don't go expecting to be entertained. (Hillerest 3)
"LITTLE BIG MAN"-Dustin Hoffman acting his fettle little more than he can imagine, fascinating story of the Old West. Chief Dan George is superb as Hoffman's Cheyenne beseech her to make him perfectly cast as a hellfire hussy with a heart o' gold (Gramada) and a mind of fire brushed his teeth twice after he finished his Krisi Pipes. Well he knew that Ipana would ward off her.
"WATERLOO"—History in the making, or something like that. (Variety)
discuss the situation with his doctor. One wife thinks he should fight it, but the other, Queen Martha, has no choice. He has no choice to accept it.
"We must never forget our ultimate fate. We must keep our eyes on that which lies ahead," she says.
When Berenger learns that he is dying, he refuses to believe it. Gradually he realizes that his father has fallen in the fire and is falling him. He becomes afraid. But even when he finally resigns from work, he clings tenaciously to life
First, the physical surroundings go, then the people in his court begin to go. Eventually, he finds himself with himself—and that then is gone.
This production is highly stylized, as is the play itself. Actors are arranged in geometric
patterns. The set is very simple, a black backdrop with three plain cubes as thrones.
Richard Scharine is very good as the bewildered King Berenger, who can't figure out why this is happening to him.
Jeanne Dellinger portrays the forceful and determined Queen Marguerite and Peggy Priesen, the other queen, Marie. The character of a girl in Swedenburg and he has some very funny lines about the end of the universe. Marilyn Scharne makes a believable character of a young girl in Swedenburg. Henry provides comic relief in the role of the guard.
"Exit the King." is a very worthwhile experience. It deals with questioning and asking, it forces the audience to think about something it does not want to think about. It raises questions about what might eventually answer for himself.

"Gimme Shelter" is two movies. The first is a lookout book, the second is the movie and the Rolling Stones on tour in the United States. The second is a tragedy of the freedom that went mad at the Alattam Speedway
'Shelter' Tries to Shock
The movie was originally intended to be a freaky documentary about Woodstock it began with Jagger growing out songs as only he can. The cameras of David and Albert Maysley follow the Stones from performances to their recording sessions, and often to a studio where the group reacts to the films taken of them. The end of the film is followed by some of these studio shots when a recorded radio announcer reports that there were four births and four deaths at Atamu.
THE FIRST HALF of "Gimme
'Husbands' Fragmentary
By DICK COWDEN

"Husbands" is not really a movie. At least its hard to recognize it as such.
Many movies do without a plot, but few succeed without a script. The film "Little Bit of Luck" either because it pretends to be little more than a director's experiment. The director, who is not the lead actor in the film, are actors, is John Cavsettes, He, Peter Falk, and Ben Gazzara seem to ad lib "Humbabas" or something.
The picture itself is about three friends who go on a drunken binge after the death of a common friend. Their adventures come from bars at night to gymnasiums in the day and back to bars again.
AFTER THE SECOND night of carousing, Harry (Gazzara) decides to return home. Harry's wife, understandably enough, wants a wedding for her bushman's escapade, and a furious battle of the sexes occurs. Harry convives his two buddies to fly to London with him where they will meet only two of the three in return to New York. But "Husbands"
Shelter" runs smoothly. You see all the things you expect to see. But there is always that awful smell of rotting meat, something evil is about to happen.
BY NOT RESTRICTING itself to a set dialogue or scheme of action, "Husbands" becomes a tough, believable portrayal of men and women in compassion. Cassavetes often uses long, unnecessary scenes to convey his impressions. As a result, "Husbands" is not always as entertaining as it might have been, and many are concerned with entertainment alone. He chooses to risk turning off part of his audience in the interest of creating something more engaging and interrupted with filmmaking and possibly set an example others will eventually enlarge upon.
only two people in the human relations department -Sturns and Rick Walker, who was a key figure in the creation of City Manager Buford Watson.
The actual planning of Altamont, though frank, seems to be well in hand. Crews of the company have been working in an atmosphere of brotherhood.
The masses descend upon Altamont with the loving Aloha on their knees. At concert nears, the love making and tripping proceeds as usual.
doesn't seem to end—the projector just turns off.
It's not easy to forget you're in a theater when you're watching "Husbands." You feel like you are watching people that you never watched in the movie is in fact filmed while the actors improvised on their own ideas. The effect is an intriguing image of three confused men who don't understand they will soon grow old. It is also about the kind of love can men feel for each other. "Husbands" makes no attempt to present the idea in a way that may find this hard to take; others may find it educational.
"I would appreciate one more person in the department. If five more persons could be hired it must be extremely helpful," Shruns said.
If some of the programs which have been recommended are to be administered, there must be a commitment to ment, Sturns said. However, he said, the city budget may not allow them to hire more per-
reason, this hopeful documentary turns sour as the second "Gimme Shelter" begins. Throughout the day at Alatamun, skirmishes between the Hellas Angels, hires to protect the performers. Jagger appears. The crowd becomes even more animated as the fights occur on a regular basis.
Some of the recommendations have been continue the workshops; expand the human resources members of minority groups to ride with police in patrol cars; adopt a citizen board to review local law enforcement; Indians and street people; have police patrol certain areas of the city on foot to form better community groups; and form job training programs.
Ideally, any new persons who might be added to the human relations department would have a vested interest in the community as is the case with Rick Walker, who acts as a liaison between the University and the community. However, a concerned group which was dedicated to solving some of the problems that the university would be sufficient, he said.
one scene, a blurred figure is shoved to the perimeter of a ring of people. Another figure pouches upon him. There is a cut to the studio. The film is run back in the first frame. He is the first man is clearly seen brandishing a pistol. The other plunges a knife into his back. Meanwhile, Jagger tries to control the panic, but his power is overpowered by the Alamont's peaceful freedom dissipates into hate and anarchy.
IT WOULD BE a mistake to say that the insurgency of Altamont Woodstock. There is no doubt that the fury at the Stones' rock festival was largely because of the violence of agony on the part of the promoters.
Sturns said the steering wheel would take up 13 or 14 recommended seats on the back of shop participants and determine priorities on how they should be positioned.
Recommendations Sought On Menninger Program
Sturns said that he would like to see more personnel added to his department. At present there are
The Mayes are probably guilty, at least to some degree, of exploitation in "Gimme Shelter. Many viewers watch it (and they outh both the Stones and the violence before they enter the theater. Whether
The steering committee for the Police Community Relations Program is currently attempting to locate all participants in the 11 Menninger Foundation workshops in Topkaka and Sturms, who are involved for the program, Vern Sturns, director of the Lawrence Human Relations Department, said.
CASSAVETES rambles through a range of characterizations and reactions. In one scene the men drink, sing and play their own private jokes on their cell phones. Another scene is nothing more than gates of laughter. It's the kind of laughter that laughter that infects a audience.
At times, the men fight and argue themselves into closer friendships. Whether making a noise or just taking among themselves, the men display a boyish unawareness seden see in movies. It is a welcome change, but it also causes Cassavet's own keen insight.

the Maysles meant to inform and entertain or to exploit seems a moot point.
The only technical fault in "Gimme Shelter" is the use of a mirror picture in the movie's picture is about the Rolling Stones. The final scene showing Jagger's profound love for the band is necessary. After all, it was only the first of the two movies in "Gimme Shelter" that concerned musicians. The title and the dance originated in the second.
