ENTERTAINMENT
ON REVIEV^
By Monte Zepeda
Pineville Country Dinner Theatre
What would you do if. . .
. . .the girl you had just married disappeared while you were on
your honeymoon?
... a strange, yet beautiful, girl turned up and insisted that she
was the loving bride?
... a hicktown detective kept believing the girl rather than you?
... a priest supported the girl’s story?
. . . The girl had a lot of convincing identification papers?
No matter what you guess will happen in the theatre’s production
of “Catch Me It You Can’’, you will most likely guess wrong. The
solution isn’t revealed until the last few seconds of the performance..
The actors and actresses give a very convincing performance.
Those sitting in the audience dread the intermissions; they want to
find out how the play ends.
Martin Cohen as Inspector Levine provides many laughs and sur
prises that few will expect. Father Kelleher, played by John Cannon,
also stirs up a few surprises too.
Every man in the audience will keep his eyes transfixed upon the
“strange girl’’ played by Jean Tinsley. She is .very convincing as the
surplus wife, as well as very lovely.
This play moves very quickly and is one of the most entertaining
to come to a dinner theatre in quite some time. It will prove to be
good entertainment to anyone.

^Young Americans^
Has Everything
By MONTE ZEPEDA
Have you ever wondered, “Why
don’t they make more ‘happy’ mov
ies like they used to?” Well, they
do. Columbia Pictures’ “The
Young Americans” is just what
you’ve been waiting for.
The movie tells the story of 36
young people who give both sche
duled andspontaniousmusicalper-
formances as they tour the country.
Their adventures include every
thing one would expect — romance.
humor, drama, problems, emotion,
excitement and hope.
The Young Americans, as a
singing group, had their beginning
when veteran choral supervisor
Milton Anderson decided to follow
a dream. He envisioned a group of
young, talented singers who love
performing and who have a zest
for living and fun. This group
would go on tour and sing the
favorites of all audiences — show
tunes, pop songs, folk songs, and
Havoc Caused
By Immaturity
By MONTE ZEPEDA
Oh! the entanglements of “Luv”,
Columbia Pictures’ latest release
now playing at the Visulite Thea
tre. Indecision and immaturity
cause more havoc in this movie
than can be imagined.
Although “Luv” will never be
nominated for an acedemy award,
it should provide a good night’s
entertainment. Many of the risque
but very funny lines of the play
are missing from the film version,
however, there are two or three
sharp scenes in the movie that
help to make up for it.
The plot centers around Harry
Berlin (Jack Lemmon), a born
loser. Two weeks after he gradu
ated from “Poly-Arts U.”, he
suffered a traumatic experience in
a park. A little fox terrier sel
ected Harry as a reasonable sub
stitute for a tree. After that,
Harry was left face to face with
the question, “Why me?” The
incident haunted him for 15 years.
He was unable to follow his am
bitions; all was lost. Harry de
cided to end it all by jumping
off the Manhattan Bridge.
But as fate would have it, Harry’s
old college pal. Milt Manville
(Peter Falk), comes along in
search of bric-a-brack and finds
Harry, Milt revives Harry’s will
to live and then loses himself.
From there on out, it is a con
stant race to see who commits
suicide first. Milt is happier to
day than he was the first day he
was married. He really loves Linda
(Nina Wayne) but his wife, Ellen
(Elaine May), won’t ^ve him a
divorce. Wife - swapping and re
swapping follows until the viewer
needs a scorecard to keep up.
Harry is an odd egg. He drinks
only a mixture of two-thirds water
and one-third milk, a habit which
is a carry-over from his child
hood. He wears a paper bag on
his head for security and is con
stantly examining his food for
who-knows-what.
Harry has problems with love.
Although he has had experience,
“. . . six women one time and
one wcsnan 22 times.”, he has
yet to find true love. But in the
movie, Harry finds love instantly
as soon as he makes a certain
contact.
This movie is wild and, to some
people, utterly incoherent. Others
will find it delightful; just be in a
frivolous mood when you see it.
One last note. There is a scene
in which Harry throws Ellen’s
mink coat into Niagra Falls to test
her love for him. The plan for
filming the scene was to have a
wire attached to the coat to keep
it out of the water. During the
actual filming, the wire snapped
and the coat disappeared onto the
rocks below. According to the
firm’s budget director, the coat
was a “cheap mink” anyway, and
nothing to cry over, publicly.
spirituals. They would dance a bit,
play a few musical instru
ments, and clow it up.
Anderson’s plan received stun
ning response. Over 3,000 young
people applied. The group had
its first appearance in 1962 and
have been growing in fame and
popularity ever since. Summer
tours and television performances,
such as last year’s Academy
Awards show, have been well re
ceived.
In 1965, movie producer Robert
Cohn and writer-director Alex
Grasshoff attended a performance
of the Young Americans and de
cided their story was one that
should be put on film. The result
is “The Young Americans” which
opens Oct. 18 at the Park Ter
race for a special one-week run.
The Carolina Journal is spon
soring a ticket sale tor the movie.
