'Grease' Kid Stuff for Fun
Do you remember when a good time was a bottle of brew, a cruise in the park and a good puke? If so, then "Grease," a contemporary American redneck movie, is Peter Petach, "written with yell."
However, if "Gregae," performed Saturday night in Hoech, would be standing to demonstrate the trialts he had danced during the days of tailored blue jeans, bobby xox and tennis shoes, felt short of its goal.
THE MODERN TERMINOLOGY and illusions interspersed with rock 'b' roll music, biased and conservative opinions and pseudo-patriotic opinions prevented the play from being an actual presentation of life in the "greaser" era.
Technical problems (adjusting to the acoustics of the auditory space) must be the first act. Difficulty in understanding the words to the songs and too loud background noise can affect effectiveness of their messages. This could be symbolic, however, or non-directional associated with the message.
"Grewase" is essentially a story of how a teenage girl and boy find their true goals in life by rejoicing with conformity and depersonalization in their membership after a rigorous and often embarrassing pledgeism.
A SLIDE PRESENTATION probably designed to enhance the audience's effectiveness because of its projection on the auditorium.

Barbara McNair co-stars, but only appears on screen three times. The other actors, mostly women, also over-shadowed by Poetter.
Six idealistic, college-aged rebels try to undermine the organization, an international hostage-taker. They begin their attack by robbing $8 million worth of furniture and a furniture co., a front organization.
The six, who have all had bad experiences with drugs, have honorable motives. They do not
want to kill anyone, they just want to kill the drug problem. And they think fighting crime with crime, they can do a better job than the police.
"The Organization" is pure entertainment (if one can call murders and dope dealing entertainment). There are no movies about the plot. Intricate details of the puzzling incidents are adequately handled, and the viewer comes away from the theatre feeling like a movie—one that did not requiredejopardy or cause dread depression.

members still convinced the only road to success is through the "group" and with everyone wanting to be in it.
The musicians in "Grease" prove an excellent background and leadership members of the audience. Their renditions of the bubble gum tapping, twanging, screaming, soulful jazz, the past 15 years were more than enough to encourage audience back-room dip at the end of the show.
Civilized, Primitive Roles Reversed in 'Walkabout'
By DENNIS LINGLE Kansan Staff Writter
For several months the 16-year-old abigirne boy must survive the elements of the Australian outback to prove himself a man. This is what the movie "A Dangerous Life" and "Walkabout" is the name of a new movie currently playing at Hillcrest 1.
Nothing is unusual about this traditional tribal theme of the boxed set, but that the Aborigine (David Gumphill) has two frail, untidy creatures a proper well-defined grimoledly grimly played by Jenny Agutter, and her freckled, pug-nosed wicket, played by Lacieren John.
The two English children are forced into their walkabout by a frustrated father who first shows them into the wild Australian desert, where commits suicide. The English teacher describes the situation heartily, but soon find that their kitchen knowledge doesn't function in the primal world of their last drop of water is too strong up to demonstrate the art.
survival in a virgin land.
The two worlds confront each other one is savage, the other one is cruel to the end of the movie, another retains its original stereotypes.
The Abo's world and the urbane world of the school children were not completely different. One does not know where to draw the outline of the modern-day butcher and the Abo carver boomeranged goose
The quest for survival molds the trio into a unit. At times they engage in a bit of swimming
hunting for the joy of killing. One wonders who is the savage and who is the elite
"Walkabout" contains several
effective ideas, such as the irony
of the Abo's respect for the wild
as opposed to the "sophisticates"
frolic "au naturale" and, again, the two worlds become one.

The most outstanding point to the film is the handling of repulsive, violent acts (deceased dromedary hulks, iizards eating dogs, ants dewcurrying flies) and the natural cycle of life on earth, naturalycle of life on earth.
The occasional violence revolving around the curved lines of nudity display the strange paradox of nature: the celebration of violence amid it. Certainly it is Nicholas Roegs' talented photography which adds this delicate to violence.
There is a definite, intelligent quality attached to this movie which keeps it from sliding into the maudium. The Abo boy fails her indifference causes him to set up "villified" solution. The children find their way home and the route to "utility."
