Bob Timberiake
One of North Carolina's most talented residents at work on a landscape of his rural
home state. A specialist in watercolors, Timberlake left a land-development business
to become an artist.
Cinema
On Campus,, ,
"A Free Woman" What happens to a
modern-day Nora after she leaves her doll's
house. The film is West German, has just
opened this summer in New York and
Washington and was very favorably received.
The title is ironic. (Today at 7 and 9:30 p.m.,
Saturday at 2, 7 and 9:30 p.m., Greenlaw
Auditorium, $1.50, the Alternative Cinema.)
"Shanghai Express" Grand Hotel on
Wheels, with Marlene Dietrich and Anna May
Wonq, exoticallv competing for the
attentions of all aboard. (Today at 6:30 and 9
p.m., Union Great Hall, free flick.)
"Blonde Venus" More Dietrich, also
directed by Josef von Sternberg, and the
seductress plays a cafe singer who must
continue -feer-act toearn money for a dying
husband; The bkr number is-Hot Voodoo, in
a guriiia uiu 3aiuiuay ai o.ow anu 9 1.111.,
Union Great Hail, free flick.)
"Scarlet Empress" And still more
Marlene, as she tackles the rote of Catherine
the Great and comes up looking pretty silly,
according to contemporary critics. Not the
best of the Dietrich-von Sternberg films.
(Sunday at 6:30 and 9 p.m., Union Great Hall
free flick.) . - .
"Le Corbeau" ("The Raven") A poison
pen maniac terrorizes a small French town
during the Occupation. This 1943 film was the
third movie of Henri-Georges Clouzot, who
later did "Diabolique" and "The Wages of
Fear" and is generally considered an equal of
the two classics. (Sunday at 7 and 9:30 p.m.,
Greenlaw Auditorium, $1.50 or subscription,
Chapel Hill Film Friends.)
"An Evening of Nostalgia" T.V. shows
from the fifties. Features episodes from "The
Lone Ranger," "Ozzie and Harriet," "Amos'N
Andy," "You Bet Your Life," "The Mickey
Mouse Club" and Nixon's ""Checkers
Speech." (Shows at 7 and 9:30 p.m. today,
Saturday and Sunday. Today's shows are in
Carroll Hall, Saturday and Sunday shows are
in Hamilton Hall. $1.)

"Carnal Knowledge' It was only banned
in a small town in Geo.rgia, but the ads are
proclaiming "Now you can see it!" as if it's
been surpressed everywhere. Mike Nichols
directed Jack Nicholson, Ann-Margret, Art
Garfunkel'and Candice Bergen stunningly,
and Jules Feiffer's script is telling and sad. A
very good movie, and even better the second
time. (Carolina, 2, 3:45, 5:30, 7:15 and 9 p.m.
$2.25.)

Caribbean with Woody Allen and Howard

Cosell.This really isn't his best film, although
an objective choice would be hard to make
the funniest Allen film seems to be the one
; you've just seen. Still, "Bananas" is the
spottiest, and perhaps the most offbeat.
(Plaza 1, 3:05, 5:05, 7:05 & 9:05 p.m., $2.25.)
'That's Entertainment" That's 130
minutes of highly enjoyable strolling through
movie musical history. (Plaza 2, at 2, 4:30, 7 &
930 p.m., $2.25.)
"Gone With the Wind" The greatest epic
of all time, and this engagement could be
called "Scarlett's Last Stand," since the M-G-M
classic has been sold to TV at last Tara will
never look the same. (Plaza 3, 3 and 8 p.m.,
$2.25.)
"Teenage Fantasies" Who says Chapel
Hill is anything special? This film took in over
$1,000 at the Varsity boxoffice yesterday and
is being held over through the weekend,
forcing cancellation of Truffaut's "Day for
Night." That's indicative of the whole
commercial scene in America; let's face it, the
' bourgeousie have no charm at all. (Varsity at
1 50, 3:15, 5:10, 7:05 and 9 p.mL, $2.25.)
Weekend Late Shows
"Little Big Man" Dustin Hoffman is Jack
Crabb, who has an amazing life story which
involves him with Custer and Faye Dunaway.
(Carolina at 1130 p.m. today and Saturday,
$2.)
'"Brewster McCloud" A neglected Robert
Altman film as chaotic and energetic as
"MASH," but somehow stranger, and
people didn't like the idea of Rene
Auberjonois flapping his arms and turning
into a bird, among other things. (Varsity at
11:15 p.m. today and Saturday, $1.75.)
"A Man For All Seasons" A majestic and
stately historical drama about Thomas More.
Overlong and overrated. (Carolina at 11:30
p.m. Sunday, $2.)
"The King of Marvin Gardens" Boring and
pretentious, Bob ("Five Easy Pieces")
Rafelson bombs out with this story of two
brothers Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dern
who have a reunion in Atlantic City and drive
Ellen Burstyn crazy. They ride horses on the
beach and talk a lot. (Yorktowne, Saturday at
11:30 p.m., too late for malarky like this. $2.)

to Georgia State Pen with Burt Reynolds and

is Ur;$; acting? And are these movies?

"Afternoon at the PetreaV a
watercolor by one of North Carolina's
most talented sons Bob Timberlake.
Timberlake has been painting full
time only four years, but has already
established a reputation as a top realist
painter. Bob Talbert of the Detroit Free
Press calls him "the Southern Wyeth."
The connection with Wyeth is more
than incidental. Timberlake had always
been an admirer of Wyeth. I n February,
1969, he visited Wyeth's home in
Chadds Ford, Pa. with six of his
paintings. It was because of the famous
artist's encouragement that Timberlake
decided to devote full time to art.
- I still don't know why he agreed to
see me." said Timberlake as he sat in the
200-year-old cabin that serves as his
studio.
Devoting so much time to painting is
a new thing for Timberlake. He has no
formal training in art. He graduated in
1959 from UNC with a major in
stars who were not quite big enough (and not
quite tacky enough) for the first "Airport."
Helen Reddy as a nun. Gloria Swanson as a
movie queen. Only George Kennedy remains,
and the whole thing is so exciting, I just can't
wait for "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure."
(Carolina.)
"The Chinese Mechanic" Exactly what
you'd expect. (Riverview).
"Buster and Billie" Exactly what you
wouldn't expect: a well-done, interesting
story of rural Georgia, late Forties, the town
stud and the town tramp and what happens to
them. Jan-Michael Vincent and Joan
Goodfellow are the title characters, and
reviews have been fairly positive. (Center 2.)

were sold before the opening.
With increasing success came added
responsibilities. Timberlake was
approached for all kinds of schemes,
from fabric designs to reproduction of
limited edition furniture.
"You have to pay the piper when you
achieve some degree of fame," said
Timberlake. "Your life isn't completely
your own."
Another time-consuming
responsibility is his involvement with

limited supply to preserve quality.
The value of Timbcrlake's paintings
and prints is increasing rapidly. Prints
of his first reproduced painting have
increased from S35 to $800. The original
cost was only SI 000. With his business
orientation, Timberlake appreciates the
economic aspect of his work.
"Nowadays people tend to be
investing in things of physical value,
such as land and furniture. I'm glad to
see that my paintings are a good
investment as well as something nice to
look at."
Timberlake works in watercolors and
tempera. He has no trouble with subject
matter, finding abundant material in his
rural N.C. surroundings.
"The problem is picking out one of
the 100 things I want to do." he said. "If

them into focus, there are alwas
interesting things to be seen."
Timberlake does snow and beach
scenes, portraits and .composition
pieces. In all of them, he tries to capture
a moment In the recent or distant past
that has caught his attention by its color,
shadows or content. r
Though the business of painting
frequently takes him to Paris and New
York, Timberlake remains a down
home sort of person. He gives people
their money back if they're not satisfied.
His easel is a card table, and a fishing
box holds his paints. ;
"Success hasn't really changed
anything," he said. "I don't paint to scll
and I've always thought there must be
something wrong because I'm getting so
much pleasure out of it." r
Timberlake is busy working on his
next New York show, which will include
30-50 works. But he is never too busy to
notice the little things, like some
miniature apples given to him by a
neighbor.
And he's never too busy to point
out to a visitor a phrase he heard that
typifies the feeling he hopes his
paintings express: "We will have this
moment forever, but never never
again ..."
