Having fled the emerging spring of South Carolina to the snowy steppes of the midwest last week end, we were unable to have a column gestated by deadline. So to both of you who did miss this fea ture, our apologies. We might add in passing that the Kahiki Club in Columbus, Ohio, features excellent atmosphere and cuisine, to say nothing of the waitresses, who speak impeccable Japanese. All periphery aside, we rejoiced to return to the Palmetto State, where there was still some credita ble entertainment fare to be found. FLKS: While we would be the last to claim that the Fox neater in Co.. lumbia has a corner on the most digestible film diet locally, we have noticed a trend toward more ex perimental and advant-garde feat tures there. As a case in point, the box-office disaster which played there this week, while admittedly off-beat, had some strong redeeming points. Director Richard Lerner, in cast ing a predominantly u n k n o w n group of actors to play on an emo tionally vulnerable theme, should at least be complimented on his attempt, although the picture did lack continuity and, occasionally, coherence. '111s week, Sandy Detnis' new est effort, "Sweet November," will face Columbians with an even more devastating, if more subtle, shock than did "The Graduate." rhe plot revolves around Miss Dennis' patently nonconformistic habit of taking in male boarders for a month of "therapy." While laying itself open to psychoanalytic criticism regarding the capsulized period of the treatment, the film Easter Drai By Religious "The Way of the Cross," a modern religious drama by Henry Gheon, will be presented Wednes (lay at 6:30 p.m. at the Baptist Student Center. The prodluction will be presented by the Serampore Players, a tour ing drama group from William Carey College in Hattiesburg, Miss. It is sponsored by the Carolina Student Religious Association. Gheon's play is interpreted as a depiction of all men's guilt in the everybody rejection andi denial of Christ. Costu mes are such that the action of the play seems without time or place, adding to the effect of tying today's generation with that of almost 2,000 years ago. The Serampore Players are on Manpower has (1 good paying summer jobs for men and women in 400 cities warehouse work typists outdoor work stenos inventory work office machina factory work operators Call '.ha Manpower office in your city at your first opportunity an equal eoortunity ampoyve Don Hoke does handle the subject with taste and precision. Anthony Newly, as the adjust ment-case for November, turns in an adequate performance, while Sandy is almost too fragile to be true. She had a tendency to remind us of more than one completely idealistic and totally unrealistic girl of our acquaintance. As the reels tum, it becomes apparent that landlord and renter are becoming ensnared in the young romance syndrome, which is, of course, completely incom patible with the former's Weltans chanuen. This presents something of a classic dilemma, which, we are pleased to report, in resolved in the least offensive manner possi ble. Capsule Opinion: A definitely unique film, which derives its greatest strength from its very uniqueness. Spend your money. ON STAGE: Capital Cabana's Pirates' Cove this week features the unpolished but enthusiastic singing of one Roni Powers. What with the new kitchen there and the adequate accompainment of Johnny Helms et al., this could be a good bet for the weekend. N(YTES ON A SHABBY CUIFF The word has it that Joan Baez is skedded for a one-nighter at Township Auditorium in the com ing week. If she hasn't made a re-fical change in her act since last we saw her, don't plan on wasting your time. The message that filters up to us from the Coronet Motel is that the new singer they hired for Circus Room vocal chores has worked out even better than ex pected. More than worth the short drive.
