The Daily Tar Heel Friday, April 30, 1971 n 7' o TI --. TVs O WI! . - f . - - , . by Bruce Mann 1 Feature Writer The North Carolina Quartet, one of the-'1 Southeast's leading string quartets and'UNCs quartet-in-residence, will appear in concert Tuesday night, May 4 at 4ifj.m. in Hill Hall. The concert is open to-JJfNC students and admission is free. jAjqcording to Ann Burnham, UNC instructor and violist of the group, the concert should offer a special experience to ; students and members of the community. In a string quartet concert, "there is a special blending of sound and color that you probably would not find any place other than a choral medium." VThe group will present a program of Haydn (Quartet, Opus 54, No. 1), Schubert (the famous D Minor Quartet -"Death and the Maiden"), and Ravel (String Quartet in F Major). Among the highlights of the program is rthe slow movement (theme and variations) of the Schubert quartet, which usetf is its theme one of Schubert's songs, "Death and the Maiden." Mrs. Burnham also? 'feels that the Ravel Quartet is "one ofrcihe most beautiful quartets ever written." The warmth and closeness of members of Jhe group should also be a key part of the experience. "It's like any good team effort-we're very sensitive to each other's musical ideas and also aware of ourj -strengths and weaknesses in playing. Thjssensitivity and awareness helps us to achieve a unified interpretation of each work." nrFhe members of the Quartet are all accomplished artists and teachers. Edgar and Dorothy Alden, violinists of the jquartet, are masters of both the violin aria viola. Dr. Alden, founder of the grmlp, is professor of violin and :?fEhe Arts: Who Needs Them?" is the title of th6: third in the 1970-71 Alumni Seminar Series tole held at the Carolina Inn April 30-May 1.

Langley reviews enny Little Big Man Arthur Perm has made a remarkable thing, an "American movie with the real look and feel of an epic. The film zips from episode to episode, being alternately breezy and tragic,, and contains some of the best editing since the Russian silents. Dustin Hoffman is wonderful. A marvelous movie, one of the best of the year. Don't miss it.-CH,D,R,G . Woman in Love A strange, powerful, baroque film. Ken Russel's style is mesmerizing, drawing the viewer into another world. Many of the scenes have a primeval force which seem to go back to the very beginnings of art. The acting is extraordinary, especially by Glenda Jackson.

Founded in the early 1950's by Edgar Alden, UNC professor and first violinist, the North Carolina Quartet has appeared in numerous community and college arrow line for this one is pretty trite, as can best be seen in the drippy final scene, but most of it is absolutely hilarious, thanks to . bright comedy . lines, inventive direction, and ' Barbra Streisand. The incomparable Barbra just keeps getting better and better.D - . ; Little Murders This is obviously Alan Arkin's first movie, as it is cinematically stiff, flat and rather lifeless. This is a real shame, as Jules - Feiffer- has written a script of incredible brilliance, savage, lacerating, witty, perceptive and horrifying. The actors are all topnotch in creating their cartoon-like characters. With better handling this could have been one of the truly great movies, and as it is, the script makes it still very, very worthwhile. G THX-1138-A bokV imaginative science-fiction movie which shows true brilliance in its use of images and in the mechanistic sounds and dialogue. Unfortunately, in movies of this type, which depend entirely on mood, the least thing wrong can practically ruin the picture. Here the dialogue and acting of the humans are definitely out of place quite frequently, and much of the effect is dissipated. Still it's a very interesting try, and well worth seeing. R The t Great White Hope-From the opening scene, it is obvious that we are in fairy-tale land with stock villains and racial cliches. Moreover, Martin Ritt matches the crudeness of the script with his direction. However, as on the stage, this very' crudeness makes for some very thrilling, if very old-fashioned dramatics:' James Earl' Jones is extraordinary , giving a performance almost too big for the screen to hold. R Ryan's Daughter Another giant marshmallow from David Lean, drowned in Maurice Jarre music and super-beautiful, Super-Panavision photography. Buried in the gook are some nice things, including John Mills touching performance, but this one is entirely for the over-forty market and those who like movies like they used to make them. R,G Alice's Restaurant In invading the world of the young, Arthur Penn has made a terrible mistake, He has confused freedom of expression with sloppiness, and the film is put together very poorly, with " odd contrasts of tone, and ambiguous characterizations. Only the comedy scenes, taken from the record, are successful. R PLENTIFUL AND KWIK ICE BEVERAGES SNACKS JUffllLEE 321 W. ROSEMARY ST.

The Quartet has given concerts as far away as Illinois and Florida, and plans are under way for further touring. Other musical contributions of the Quartet are its concerts in' the North Carolina public schools and its appearances in the Music 89 course, a special study in string quartet literature conducted by Dr. Alden. The Quartet attends and performs in the class at least once a week in order to give students the experience of hearing a live quartet. fails Jenny Almost is written across every scene of this, but the talent to bring off 'the light airy mood is plainly lacking. The . main crime of the director is that he has tried to manipulate Mario Thomas into some kind of star characterization, with - the result that her natural charm does not come through at all. Thumbs down. CH A New Leaf It's hard to tell who is to blame for this disaster. Elaine May's wit has always struck -me as merely smart alecky, but whatever the quality , of the script, the film has been grotesquely miscast, Walter Matthau being especially T out of place. Moreover there are strange loose ends and. odd switches in tone, as if Paramount butchered the picture, as Miss May claims. A mess. G . Love Story One of the worst.

CH Among campus movies "Joan of the Angels" (Tonight, Murphey 1 1 1 at 7 and 9) is a fantastic film dealing with the possession of nuns by evil demons. It is as . evil as Bunuel and as probing as Bergman perhaps the best film the Cinematheque has shown. No one interested in foreign films should miss it.
