The CBS late-night movies finally begin tonight with "A Patch of
Blue," a 1965 love story starring Sidney Poitier, Elizabeth Hartman and
Shelley Winters.
The line-up for the rest of the week consists of "Anniversary," a 1968
English production starring Bette Davis, Tuesday; Richard (Dr. Kildare)
Champerlain's wretched 'Twilight of Honor" Wednesday; an even worse
Doris Day vehicle Thursday night: and finally, 'The Fearless Vampire
Killers" Friday.
Roman Polanski wrote, directed and co-starred in "Vampire Killers."
and used his wife, Sharon Tate, in another starring role. Remember
Sharon Tate?
As you can see, it's not a very auspicious debut for CBS, but it's better
than nothing, or should we say Merv. In the weeks ahead, though, CBS
will have a few horror movies like "The Damned," "Children of the
Damned," and "The Curse of Frankenstein," in addition to at least one
excellent example of the youth exploitation market circa 1970.
"Strawberry Statement."
The local movie front has a few campy-type movies this week, like
"Follow the Fleet," a 1936 Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers movie that
Channel 28 will broadcast today at five.
Channel 8, meanwhile, will devote its Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday afternoon movie slots to "War and Peace," starring Audrey
Hepburn and Henry Fonda. No matter what faults a critic could find in
this Roscoe-award winner, (the Harvard Lampoon's old equivalent of an
Oscar, which went annually to the year's worst Hollywood productions
and performers), no one could deny that it "sprawled."
Channel 28 continues its intermittent Bogart series Thursday with
1943's "Action in the North Atlantic," and follows it up Friday with
"Hunchback of Notre Dame," a 1939 release starring Charles Laughton.
As usual, there's not much worth watching in prime-time, except for
the Carolina-Maryland basketball game Wednesday night at nine, and "All
in the Family" Saturday, when Sammy Davis, Jr. makes an appearance
after leaving his briefcase in Archie's cab.

The Village Dinner Theatre's fresh re
production of "Gypsy," Arthur Laurents
and Jule Styne's musical chronology of
Gypsy Rose Lee's life, rocks like a
pendulum between moments rf
passionate intensity and instants of very
weak musical focus. Technically complex
- garish burlesque lights wink "Gypsy"
on all walls of the theatre to establish the
striptease ambience "Gypsy" continues
the Theatre's tradition begun with "110
in the Shade" and "Man of La Mancha"
of big-name musicals with a!! the
sparkling trappings.
On the upswing, the show boasts a
highly credentialed cast. Joan Taylor
commandeers the stage as Rose, Gypsy's
aspiring, overbearing but ever-lovable
mother. She's a female George M. Cohan,
and she dreams of seeing her daughters'
names headlining the marquees of
vaudeville's Orpheum Circuit. In cloche
hat and orange dress, she sets off from
Seattle with an act including Clarence and
his Classical Kazoo (David Munger) and
o
ing
her own Baby June sing-:ng "Let Me
Entertain You" with such rosey
sweetness that you exp-ect Shirley Tenrie
to burst ' onto the scene with "happy
landing on 3 chocolate bar."
On the road to stage Stardust. Ros
enlists Herbie (Steve Stephenson, a true
pro whose subtle downplay lends especial
stability to the play) to manage he:
group. They fall in love, suffer the pangs
of show biz failure and finally, as the
coast into the depths of a burlesque
booking, decide to marry. Rose's
obsession to land one of her off-spring in
stardom demands fulfillment, however,
before matrimony has its day, and she
singles out young Louise.
"You are a lady!" screams the
rationalizing Rose. "And you are going to
be a star!" Joan Taylor has her moment
here, and she encompasses the stage with
the panoramic portrait of a woman
obsessed, perplexed and confused. With
the loss of her self-respect, she demands
that Louise become a striptease and

Over 6,000 questions await the 108
teams scheduled to participate in the
third annual Quiz Bowl, beginning
tonight at 7 p.m. in room 202-204 of the
Student Union.
Matches will run Monday and
Thursday, except when preempted by
such events as basketball games, through
early April. Six games, each 30 minutes
long, are scheduled nightly. All interested
spectators are welcome.
Because a large number of teams are
involved in a tight time period, Alan
Mann, chairman of the sponsoring
Recreation Committee, emphasizes there
can be no re-scheduling of matches. Any
team that fails to appear for its match
automatically forfeits the game.
Teams that have not checked at the
Union information desk to learn when
they are scheduled to play should do so
immediately. Some teams may be
scheduled more than once.
Band
ners on
sinal
jazz
by Marty Shore
Feature Writer
Do you want to go to the Mardi Gras?
Stay in Chapel Hill and a little of the New
Orleans spirit will come your way.
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band,
sponsored by the Carolina Union, will
play tomorrow night in Memorial Hall at
8 p.m. Tickets are on sale at the Union
Information Desk at $1.50-2.00.
Preservation Hall was built in New
Orleans in 1 750 at 726 St. Peter Street in
the heart of the French Quarter. It has
been a home, a tavern, an artists' haven,
an Art Gallery and now it is once again a
home-for the New Orleans Jazz and the
pioneers who created it.
The purpose of the hall is to preserve
the music of New Orleans that gave birth
to jazz. The curators are the originators
of jazz who play there nightly. From
these people come the bands that tour
the authentic music of Preservation Hall.
The Billie and Dede Pierce Band will
be the group playing at Memorial. They
get the happy satisfaction of making their
instruments sing through their own
improvisation. All of the members are
over 60 and have been playing jazz for
just about as long, but they still play with
vitality and youthful drive.
The emphasis of their music is on the
ensemble, but each soloist can be heard as
each one was at the beginning. The cornet
or trumpet takes the melody, the clarinet
the counterpoint, the tro-nbene the
harmony... and then all rf a sudden they
switch.
In their jazz can be heard the tribal
dances from Africa, sophisticated Creole
Quadrilles, funeral marches, and Mardi
Gras Parades. The most important thing
though is what you see - the happiness
that these players get from their music.
When at Preservation Hall the band leap
over the flood lights and lead a march
through the hall, the line that forms
behind them is testimony to the
happiness that the audience has caught
from the band.
Even the Preservation Hall bands have
had rough times in establishing their
music. Some of the neighbors on St. Peter
Street didn't like the new band at first.
For awhile around 1952, members of the
band, black and white alike, spent some
time before unappreciating magistrates on
the joint counts of disturbing the peace
and violation of white supremacy.
Today at the Hall benches and kitchen
chairs accommodate about half of the
nightly audience. Some of the floor is
loose and the front is off the old upright
piano. Audiences can rarely keep their
feet still during the performances.
Carolina students will get the chance
to tap their feet to the original New
Orleans jazz tomorrow.

Take in the Mona Lisa at the Louvre
and the night life on the Left Bank.
But, why stay in Paris?
There's a France beyond Paris just
waiting for you to come visit.
Villages and towns steeped in art and
history. Vineyards, castles, Alpine spas
and beaches made famous by bikinis.
And the best way to get there
is by train.
VVhere in France wHl the French
trains take you? Almost anywhere.
Only four hours separate Paris from
Strasbourg. But be careful. Once you've
walked its medieval streets, lined by
timbered houses, you may never want
to return to the glass and concrete
of the modern city.
Just two and one-half hours from
Paris is Dijon. One of the renowned
gastronomic capitals of the world. Buy
an extra bottle of white wine there
with the money you've saved eating
cafeteria-style on the train.
French trains are known throughout
the world for their comfort, speed
and punctuality.
They're also known as a great place
to get to know the people. It's easy to
start a conversation in the relaxed
atmosphere of a train. Even if you've
barely passed second-year French, or
German or Spanish. For trains are
really the Continental way of travel.
You can eat on a French train. Read
on a French train. Sleep on a French
train. Dream on a French train. And
you'll find French trains surprisingly
economical, too. Particularly when you
take advantage of the new 2nd Class
Student-Railpass.
Whether you buy your tickets as you
go, or a 1st Class Eurailpass or new
2nd Class Student-Railpass before you
go, you'll save more by seeing your
travel agent. Or nearest French National
Railroad ticket office. For reservations:
French National Railroads, 610 Fifth
Avenue, New York 10020; 11 East
Ad ams Street, Chicago 60603; 9465
Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills 90212;

Please send me your literature describing
places to see in France other than Paris.
