'Comedy' the Better Half
By BION BEEBE Kansan Reviewer
All plays do not have a message but most good ones do. "Black Comedy," by Peter Shaffer, is an example of a work that undulersed purpose of living
The play is attention-getting right away because the stage lights are not on and you wonder if actors are speaking and appalling actors are speaking and appalling are brightly lit. But then the situation is reversed. The stage is flooded with light and the performers act as if they are in total darkness.
It is said that people laugh most in the misfortunes of other people. How much are the character of "Black Comedy," has more misfortunes in one night than a dark cat could imagine? A future father-in-law, a weird friend and the sudden apperance of someone else are only a few of his problems.
On this one gimmick the rest of the play hinges. It never wears too thin, though, because of the thick material that forms and complications that it ends.
ALTHOUGH there are some funny lines, the show's humor is more subtle. You come so fast that many times there are two or three going at the same time. The possibilities play takes full advantage of this.
Brindsey, as portrayed by Ronald Parkey, has played the role of a women and daring when it is safe to be daring; he gradually wails away into terror.
The cast is a mish-mash of oddballs and offbeat characters. The audience has laced old lady, ends the evening drunk out of her mind. Mary Blake is very smart, she plays the electronix, Schupanzh, whose description of one of Brindleys works of art is the only play the fan's furriest moment.
The ex-girl friend who drops in unexpectedly is played well by McCray and the rest of the cast is consistently good, too. Tom Dick Eaton gives it a kick as he hams it up in the role of Brindley's sway friend, Harold.
"BLACK *COMEDY*" races the audience with a hardly slow approach to the Everything about the production is done well, and it provides an entertainment value.
But "Black Comedy" is only half of the evening's show (admittedly the better half). The first play is "White Lilies" which was a hit in the early 1960s. It is an unusual story about two young men who go to a fortune
teller and talk to her about their relationship to each other and to a mutual girl friend.
This play does have a message. The first man who goes to the theater gives him advice, always giving and never taking. He tells her how his friend is trying to steal away the girl and persuades her to help him keep
THE SECOND man, a "taker," shows up and soon becomes confusing as to who is lying and who is telling the truth. The second man, Tom, complains that he has been forced into his room by the "prisoner of someone else's
Are we all molded into certain types of existence by other people's dreams and ideals? It's not the way a play is too long and too slow-moving to be very effective. We are not in the exhibition of the characters.
The strong point of this play, too, is its acting. Bailes and Clancy Hathaway show insight in portraying the two men and women of a fortune teller who wants so much to believe in her dreams.
It is quite effective in projecting
the result of a plot. Combined with the lighting,
the result is beautiful. The set for

SETS FOR both plays were designed by Greg Hill. Of the two, "White Liar's" has the better one.
'Paranoid,' 'Sister' Are Entertaining
Black Sabbath is still so new that it's hard to tell whether the group is making an addition to their lineup, but the gimmickery that bespeckled the United States in the mid-80s. In an album called "Paranoid," Black Sabbath makes it clear that it wants to haunt its way into recognition

Because "White Liars" is
Ozzie. Osburn, the lead vocalist, is half the reason for the dark and daring show he suggests. He enjoices up witches and warlocks with a tormented,巾帛ish style.
The other half of Black Subbath's demonia effect is the instrumentation itself. The beat used for the guitars wicked and foreboding.
"Paranoid" may not be an album destined for greatness.剥 Sabbath's audience may sound like it doesn't exist, but at least for now, this kind of music is alive and scaring the wits out of its spellbound
"Crueal Sister," an album by Medieval angelic artist, Amber Malenga. But they are different. However there is nothing musty or laborious about the music she sings.
At times Pentangle parts from traditional arrangements and instruments, like a song fades out, replaced by an interlake feature an electric guitar.
solemil and somewhat oppressive, it provides a perfect appetizer for "Black Comedy." When the fun starts, the audience laughs. And the audience does laugh—all the way out of the theatre.

'Aristocats' for the Birds
By BARBARA SCHMIDT
"The Aristocats," currently playing at the Granada, is definieth for the young at heart. The character is a member of the tricyle set or feeble in mind to grub this one up. It is one of Walt may he rest in his knees and missadventures of three lovable kittens and their sophisticated mother who are catapulted and dilled. The butter did it, of course.

The action stems from a waffle lover loves's decision to will all of her money to her four children in death, the remaining inheritance goes to the butler, Edgar. As we all know, movie butlers are inherently evil, so, not wanting to leave them alone, greedy hands. Edgar plots to do away with "murder" is too crude a term ever to be used in a Disney movie) the cats en maze. Aristocats" takes it from there.
One shouldn't knock Disney productions too much; anyone who could give us such encouragement entailment "Fantasia" and "Mary Poppins" (come on now, she wasn't as tooth-rotting saccharine as we remember) can't be all bad. But the short of being a blockbuster
than intruding, these variations enhance the musical setting of compositions and musical eras and cultures results in a remarkable brand of art.
Pentangle thrives on the genius of two very fine acoustic guitarists, John Renbourn and Bert Jansen. The pair succeeds in playing music into something that is contemporary and relevant.
Renbour continues his revival of medieval music in his own book, *The Unicorn*. This instrument record is ideal for the classics enthusiast, but covers a wide range of styles and anyone who simply like guitar. For the listener who finds it difficult to read on plain text, the baroque, Renbour includes its version of a more familiar medieval ballad, "Scarborough

There is one point in favor of the Aristocats," though. It'll be a bit less expensive, previews and a Disney quickie picture. But you get it less tight, run less than the hour and 40 minutes. If you wait a year or two, however, you'll be watching on TV, or on your night on television, and at least then you'll have the option of buying the movie.
If you do end up seeing "The Abascoists," have a suggestion that you watch a more challenging.
