The Dsliy Tsr Htsl Wednesday, Feb. 2S, 1975 JFyefc gift ' The North Carolina Museum of Art formally accepted the painting Sea Dog " by Andrew Wyeth, during ceremonies yesterday in Raleigh. The Wyeth painting was a gift of the RJ. Reynolds foundation. Dated I97l. "Sea Dog" is the second painting by the noted American realist to join the museum's collection. The first. "Winter. 1 946." was acquired in 1 972. "Sea Doe" is a Dortrait in eee temnera of Walter Anderson, frequent model for II Andrew Wyeth. Praekeosteiini9 luieey tight ) by Peter Hardy DTH Critic Although Mel Brooks Blazing Saddles was often brilliantly funny, it was a jumbled and uneven film, frequently falling into stupidity and grossness. For that reason, it is both suprising and delightful to report that Brooks' new film Young Frankenstein is not only hilarious but meticulously detailed and crafted as well. Brooks has gotten amazing mileage from the idea of a' parody of the original 1930 Frankenstein and its 1935 sequel The Bride MiMaMMMMiaMMaM,. - . .- . .-. Ct try A J fY of Frankenstein. Like the burning letters in Blazing Saddles even the credits of Young Frankenstein are funny. The titles are shown before a gloomy mountaintop castle lit by lightning flashes, with John Morris' effective 30s style music in the background. Gerald Hirschfield's black and white cinematography is so perfect that many scenes look exactly as if they were from a forty-year-old film (check the close-ups of Madelaine Kahn at the railway station). Brooks uses the laboratory equipment from the 1930 film and it still sparks and whizzes TARHEEL g 1 CAR WASH Full Service Have your car cleaned j inside and out. x EMssGBtnift I WITH GAS Open Daily 8 a.m. -5 p.m. Except Sunday At the curve where Chapel Hill meets Carrboro. 929-1351. original works of graphic art etchings, lithographs, by leading 20th century artists: Pablo Picasso Johnny Friedlaender Marc Chagall Salvador Dali, Alexander Calder Joan Miro Georges Rouault Victor Yasarely and others.

The "2.000 Year Old Man established him as one of the funniest men alive and Young Frankenstein only bears that out. I don't think there is any single thing in the film as outrageously comic as the "Springtime For Hitler" sequence in The Producers or Cleavon Little singing I Get No Kick From Champagne" in Blazing Saddles but there are more really funny gags in this film than in his previous efforts and fewer obviously bad ones. Brooks received enormous help from Gene Wilder, who co-wrote the screenplay with him and plays the title role. Wilder can completely submerge himself into the most absurd characters, making them both realistic and funny. Perhaps no other actor could have made the sheep sequence in Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex both touching and tasteful. In this film he is not given as free a hand as he had in 771?

Kenneth Mars as a wooden armed police inspector and Marty Feldman as Igor are both a little too concious of trving to be v wildly funny as he can be. But it may be his funny, but each of them has good moments And there are simply no words to describe the brilliance of Madelaine Kahn as Frankenstein's stuffy fiancee. In only four films What's Up Doc. Paper Moon. Blazing Saddles came before Young Frankenstein she has established herself as a comedienne of awesome abilities. I can't wait to see her in a full length role. Young Frankenstein is the best comedy I've seen since Sleeper. It will probably be playing around here until we're all sick of it. but go early before you friends give away all the best jokes. best and most complete performance yet, a characterization that goes to ridiculous extremes but is always consistent and believable.
