WHAT'S UP DOC? (1972) One of the better films by director
Peter Bogdanovich is this screwball comedy with Barbara
Streisand as an eccentric girl with an encyclopedic mind and a
capricious way of thrusting herself into other peoples' lives. Ryan
O'Neal is an absent-minded professor of musicology at a con
vention with a traveling case full of primitive rocks. Together,
they're dynamite. Frantic misadventures confuse all the
characters, culminating in a hair raising comedy chase that ends in
San Francisco Bay. Today, Friday $1.
THE SOFT SKIN (1964) A Francois Truffaut film about adultery.
He sensitively and realistically depicts the story of a middle-aged
man's attraction to a young girl and the almost inevitable tragedy
that follows. With Jean Desailly and Francoise Dorleac. Monday.
THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1947) One of
Humphrey Bgart's five greatest films that won three Academy
Awards. Nominally an adventure story, this is really an ex
p loration of character, revealed in vivid action. Three American
ums of the early 1920's run into lottery luck in Tampico and strike
into the dreary mountains of Mexico in search of gold. The rest of
the story demonstrates the development of the characters in
relation to hardship and work, to the world these modern
primitives are set against, to the gold they find and to each other.
An exceptional film classic that no one should miss. Walter Huston
and Tim Holt costar; John Huston directs. Tuesday.
THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS (1942) Set in the end of the
19th century, this film embodies the sorrow of love frustrated by
rigid social mores. Isabel Amberson, although really in love with
Eugene Morgan, an automobile designer, marries one of her social
equals. Upon her husbands death twenty years later Isabel seeks to
renew her love for Eugene, only to be blocked by her own egotistic
son. In Orson Welles' imaginative style, the tragedy of unfulfilled
love becomes a cogent study of a fading aristocracy. The ending is
a copout, though, because control of the finale was taken from
Orson Welle's hands.
Tim Holt, Joseph Cotton, Dolores Costello, Ann Baxter and Agnes
Moorehead star. Wednesday.
SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE (1974) Ingmar Bergman's latest
tale of the ins and outs of married life. Coming October 9, 10. $1.

period where nothing new was released.
COMING INTO the Carolina Coliseum
Sunday night, the only noticeable difference in
the band was the name once again; now titled
The Faces featuring Rod Stewart.
I had last seen the Faces in 1972 at Clemson.
Being an avid Faces fan since their initial
beginnings, I lookeu forward to Sunday
night's concert to hear what new directions
they were aspiring towards.
Unfortunately, the show offered no new
creativity, innovation or musical progression
on the part of the Faces. Almost to the song, it
was a copy of the Clemson concert three years
before.
The Faces of 1975 were Ron Wood and Rod
Stewart period.. Every number of the night
was centered around Wood's guitar and
Stewart's vocals. The rest of the band, Kenny
Jones on drums, Tetsu Yamauchi on bass,
Jesse Davis on rhythm guitar and Ian
MacLagen on keyboards, as usual remained
in the background.
ALSO, THE itinerary of songs they played,
approximately 11 of 14, were taken from Rod
Stewart solo albums and not Faces records, as
one might expect.
However, most of the fans at the concert
found their presentation quite stimulating.

Thousands had paid a lot of cash to see Rod
Stewart and they were ready to rock 'n roll.
And that is just what they did for the next 80
minutes as The Faces overloaded their set
with such rockers as "Miss Judy's Farm",
"Sweet Miss Rock 'n Roller", "I Know I'm
Losing You," "Stay With Me" and "Mem
phis".
Some unnecessary orchestration was added
to "Angel", an old Jimi Hendrix piece, and
"Bring Your Sweet Loving Home to Me."
Also, several-Stewart gems, like "Reason to
Believe", and "Maggie Mae", were ruined
when an electric guitar was substituted for a
mandolin.
In one regard, though, the concert was a
rock and roll classic. The Faces stage per
formance has always been highly energized
and exciting. Rod Stewart, with his sand
paper voice, can still belt out a tune and Ron
Wood plays a great slide guitar.
BUT OVERALL, the concert was in
consequential. Rumors are spreading that
Stewart will soon seek a permanent solo
career, and Ron Wood will depart to becoming
a Rolling Stone. With the possibility of this
being the last Faces tour, it appears that the
band members are trying to relive all the good
times of the past with one last touring fling.
"We are here to be enjoying," screamed
Rod Stewart at the audience. Unfortunately
for some, that enjoyment remained unfulfilled
long after the Faces vacated the stage to the
sounds of "Twisting the Night Away."
