Picture a hitch-hiker thumbing along
a tree-lined highway somewhere
between California and Never
neverland. A beautiful girl picks him up
in her convertible. She smiles and he
sinks to the floor.
In ten seconds she has his hand on her
knee. In twenty, they're off the road and
she's streaking through the woods. He's
after her, drooling, dreaming and
streaking, with something different than
sugar-plums dancing in his head.
In thirty seconds he's out of the woods
and please stand by he runs right up
against the steady glare of a 250-lb. cop
who needs his love like he needs more
eye shadow.
Get it? He didn't and he never will, not
quite like that. It's all a part of the tube,
and the message il that it's all make
believe pure product that sells, and
sells and sells.
Ken Shapiro, creator and star of the
movie The Groove Tube, was at the
Varsity Theatre Thursday to sell his own
product at a special preview showing,
free to students and others who might
appreciate gut laughter and crotch
humor.
Shapiro, a 3 1 -year-old drop-out from
Columbia University's Graduate School
of Comparative Religion and from
teaching -in Brooklyn's public schools,
opened his first video theater in
Manhattan's East Village in 1 967. The
program, Channel One, presented 90
minutes of TV lampoons and original
material on TV monitors to a live
audience.
Groove Tube, the movie version of
Channel One, is a 90-minute collage of
television's contributions to mankind
TV as it never was and always should
have been.
Billed as a parody of the medium that
has kept millions awake past midnight
and millions more asleep past noon.
Groove Tube makes sure no one will
doze through its rapid-fire clips of
commercials, kiddie 'shows, "serious"
talk shows and the wide, wild world of
sports broadcasts that would make
Howard Cosell's Fruit-of-the-Loom
underwear blush in three shades of red.
The movie has the ups and downs of a
TV tube fielding late night interference.
It's up at the start with a cutting take-off
of 2001 and man's timeless search for
something better to do on Saturday
nights. If solitaire is one of the oldest
vices, television is one of the newest
addictions.
From there, the movie slips and slides
with the uneven grace of a collection of
old videotapes on which most of the film
is based. It's down particularly in the
middle with a parody of a presidential
news conference that dips as low as
Nixon's latest popularity ratings.
But if you want to turn off your mind
as well as your TV dial, see why
"vacuum" fits both the description of
what's behind the screen and what
Madison Avenue wants between your
ears.
Keep the space open for Groove
Tube, starting its Regular run on
Thursday, April 4 .at the Varsity
Theater.

Giselle, a two-act fantasy ballet, is

loved dancing too much in life and are
condemned to dance in death.
This is the last program of the 1973-74
Friends of the College series.
