Cliff Keuter, second from left and inset, practices with the CHI Keuter Dance Company, one of the best modern dance troupes in the nation. Known for his provocative choreography, Keuter delighted a Hoch Auditorium audience Wednesday with dances both whimsical and tender.

Ira Wells (Ar Carney) is not a typical Hollywood detective. At age 65 he limps, is overweight and hard-of-hearing, and suffers from a perforated ulcer.
Missing feline begins unusual 'Late Show'
BUT IF IRA isn't corrupt, he isn't necessarily effective either. When the肘 man is struck by a bullet, Roche, a wealthy under world "fence" for stolen goods, Ira tries to bluff information from the criminal. all he gets for his trouble is a bloody nose and another blow to his head.
He spent six months of the previous year in a V.A. hospital recovering from surgery and would be retired if he hadn't agreed to take the job. "The Late Shop" is about Ira's last case.
It's part of the spaced-out charm of writer-director Robert Benton's plot that the hunt for the cat leads immediately to a car crash. Working without David Newman for the first time since they collaborated on "Bonnie and Clyde," Benton has fashioned a script that delivers both realistic comedy and surrealism, which is associated with the hard-boiled dick genre.
IRA AND Margo meet, appropriately on, for Friday the 13th at the funeral of Ira ex-partner. They are introduced by Charley Hatter (Bill Macy), a longtime informant of Ira's who knew that the dead man had been searching for Margo's cat.
Keuter dance: love, laughter, life
"The Late Show" is solidly grounded in the style of "48 mysteries. Ira is a private self with honor, desperate to distinguish himself from 'low-rent gumshoes.' He still wears white shirts and baggy suits, and he sports values like wanting to appreciate his friends.
Recent cover stories in Time and Rolling Stone make it impossible to overlook Lily Tomlin's virtuosic performance. Viewers should be warned, however, that it takes a long time to build up a solid madcap character. And it should be noted that Art Carney supplies an equal portion of
It also is about Margo's first case. Margo (Lilly Tomlin) is an actress, turned talent agent, turned dress designer. She pushes grass on the side to pay for her shrink, so that it stays in place herself as being "a little weird around the edges." Margo is the missing cat's owner.

Good examples of Keuter's comic choreography are found in "Sunday Papers," in which a hat pulled on a leash and the band launches a lariat twirl becomes a抖腿 interset between ferent scenes cowed intoBetween toy piano and hand organ music. The
"How'd that look?" she turns to ask.
A soft-spoken man, Keuter is constantly creating and improving his steps. In rehearsal he is serious but gutsy of antics when Frankenstein walks in love scenes.
Kuter learned ballet only a year ago to help himself recover from an injury. Since, ballet has become integrated with his dance studies and has strength, speed and line to his work.

Cliff Kuester is polishing details on "Table," a modern舞 dance that explores the developed relationship of a long-in-body couple. Many of the dancer's movements are sexually expressive and demonstrate only part of Kuezer's provocative nature with
Formed in 1969 after Keuter left the Paul Taylor Dance Company, the troupe is now recognized as one of the best modern dance companies in the nation. A core group of fine dancers have followed the troupe from its start.
The Cliff Keuter Dance Company delighted a good-sized Hoch Auditorium audience with its own solo performance who came expecting samples of traditional classical ballet. Keuter's brand of modern dance looks fun and tense and brings winning fun—via comic and romantic moods.

Keuter says his ideas for his work come from slices of his life. Sexual connotations

frequently are included because Keuter considers sex one of the highest nature of life.
"I think you shouldn't hesitate to speak about what you think you know about," she said Wednesday. "Each舞 has its own kind of growth. Even those considered me, I don't think of as abstract, because every gesture is informed—has a motive."
Keuter usually works on dance ideas without choosing music. Often he has
brought composers to his rehearsals to create the proper accompaniment.
Thus a repertoire ranging from the rolicking, lighthearted "Lisbon" to music by Australian composer Percy Grangle or the quiet "Mule" to music by Bavel.
Keuter does both modern and classical choreography by commission for major companies in the United States, Canada, and Europe. After this year's touring is over, he will go from his New York City base back to the Baltimore in London for similar geographical work.
talent. They are so well paired that it is hard to consider one without criticizing the other.
Usually, the group does four day residencies at schools on its tour. No residence was scheduled at KU. Tours last about six weeks.
The company's appearances are supported by agencies including the National Endowment for Arts and the Mid-America Arts Alliance Project, Kansas City, Mo.
AUDIOTRONICS BONANZA
SOON MARGO and I are teaming up as well as Nick and Nora Charles, the detective spouses of the "Thin Man" movies. Ira provides the exposition and the questionable muscle, while Margo contributes intuition and the necessary finances. Together they take on Los Angeles, discovering one corpse stashed in another and another spread-engled on a punctured waterbed. Finally, they locate the cat.

but the une the villain, his wife, his bodyguard, Charley, Margo and铁风 up in the same apartment, Benton has a new theme. "The story theme—the fate of friendship in a materialistic society. The journey is so entertaining that even the mandatory expation at the end doesn't disturb the expation," she says. "Show" is fascinating fun for the audience.

For Margo, momentarily angered by the violence of Ira's profession, it is something else. "This is just one last chance for you to escape the situation,"cries him at Imao. "You're playing cops and robbers." Slowly she senses that this is Ira's "late show," his final display of dignity before he gives up the game. That bit still makes her transforms Margo, and ultimately the movie.

Psalms 2 and Acts 4:25
"And the whole men of them arose, and led Him to Pilate. And they begin to accuse him. Saying, We found this man a fool, and we are not going to see Caesar, saying that He Himself is a Christa King." Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, "If no fault in them,
... And as soon as he knew that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Herman to Herod himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. ... And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together; for before they were at emity between themselves. And Pilate when he called together them, he asked, "What is it that you mean to me?" He have brought this Man unto me, as one that pervert the nature of this Man touching those things wheered ye accuse Him: No, nor yet Herod, for I send you to him, and no nothing worthy of death is done unto him. I will thereforeachet Him, and release Him. (For of necessees I cried all at once, saying, Away with this Man, and release unto us Barabbas: (Who for a certain sedition, 'AND FOR MURDER,' was cast into prison). Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them, but they cried, crucify Him. ... And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requited, so he said to Pilate that for sation and murder was cast into prison, whom they desired, but he delivered Jesus to their will ...
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
The 23rd chapter of the Book of Luke gives the account of the Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial of the Lord Jesus Christ.
"And there were also two other, male-factors, led with Him to be put to death. And when they were come to the place, they came out and took away all the male-factors, on the right hand, and the other on the left. And one of the male-factors which were hanged on the left was taken by the men."
Some Comment: They preferred a "murderer" to The Saviour. The Lord Jesus Christ when we reject the "Death Penalty that our God and Creator has commanded, do we accept it?" The Lord Jesus Christ and Our God and Saviour! This witness thinks so, and so testifies!
other answering rebuked him saying, DOST NOT THOU FEAR GOD, SEEING THOU ART IN THE SAME CONDEMATION? AND WE INDEED JUSTLY: FOR WE RECEIVE THE DUE REWARD for OUR DEEDS: BUT THIS MAN HATH DONE NOTHING AMERICAN! And he said unto Jesus, "And Jesus said unto him, 'VERILY I SAY UNTO THEE TOOALY THOU BE WITH ME IN PARADISE!' And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice. Father, into Thy Hans! Remember My Spirit, and having said thus, He gave up the chapel."
