JA~d.*VARY 1RAUThR } cinema Mickey One' Passes 'Bonnie and Clyde' I Across Campus i V By ELLEN FRANK One of the most rewarding out- comes of the success of "Bonnie and Clyde" is a reapprisal of the earlier works of its director, Ar- thur Penn. "Mickey One" - a critical success at the 1965 New York Film Festival, but a com- mercial failure - is thankfully joining inthe revival at the Fifth FOrum. ""From the Star, Producer and Director of 'Bonnie and Clyde' " should not be resented as an ad- vertising lure. "Mickey One" stands on its own, yet retains not- able* features from Penn's "Bon- nie and Clyde" and "The Left Handed Gun," a late 1950's in- terpretation of the Billy the Kid legend, starring Paul Newman. These three films, which Penn himself has said are his best, all deal with violence, particularly the crime-pursuit-capture pattern directed toward the individual whom Penn consistently refuses to call a "criminal." The direc- tor's unique attitude toward his heroes is capsilized by a few re- marks in "Mickey One" Mickey's girlfriend asks him if he really is guilty. He replies, "What does that mean? Isn't guilt sim- ply the absence of innocence?" Mickey One himself is a strange hero. His "crime" is ow- ing debts - but he never knows how much he owes, why he does, who he owes it to, and who is chasing him. Nonetheless, he flees, from the moment the cred- its end to the mysterious ending -where one has to assume he has been caught. At no point does Penn lose con- trol over this long chase scene. He sets the tone with the film's first line - "There is no place you can hide - you'll have to be an animal."

PERRY Founded by the late ebullient 4 $ rhomas Beecham, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra flounder- ed at the maestro's death, and never, regained its solidarity under the baton. of a single outstanding. conductor. Now. touring the States under the leadership of Vaclav Neumann, George Groves, and, be- lieve it. or not, Skitch Henderson, the RPO shows precipient great- ness: excellent first-chair poten- tial and a sense for aural rich- pes, but a weakening lack of any distinctive, style or apparent in- spired commitment.. It was fitting that the British group should open the concert with a work by one of their musi- cal demigods, Benjamin Britten. Vaclav 'Neumann, previous' con- ductor of Prague and Leipzig or- chestras, conjured up an evocative performance of the seldom heard Sinfonia da Requiem. Composed for the 2,500th anniversary of the Mikado's dynasty (talk of com- missions!), the work was even- tually turned down by the Japanese on religious grounds and first per- formed in New York in 1941. The concept of the Requiem has come a long way from the religiosity of Mozart's Requiem Mass, and many of the. greatest Requiems were composed in the nineteenth century. Verdi's Man- zoni Requiem dramatically explor- ed the possibilities of both horror and sweetness in the afterlife; Brahms Requiem serenely sent the deceased (and occasionally the audience) off into the land of sleep. Britten was one of the first to exclude the chorus and to compose a purely orchestral work.

Grasse Pointe,'Michigan 48236 , Without human voices, the Re- quiem plan becomes somehow de- personalized, which is in keeping with Britten's twentieth century effort to more lament the scarey wasteland of life than promise the eternal sanctuary of an after- life. A mystic like Messiaen, to re- assert the religious, had eventually to explode in volume and quantity the existential angst portrayed by Britten's music. Another aspect of Britten's music which is typically twentieth century can be seen in the abstract visual connotations that the music evokes. How well the Lacrymosa could serve as a sound "tract for a film on Hiroshima, or the Dies Irae for a documentary on traf- fic management. Nothing could "illustrate" Mozart's Requiem. This intends not to demean the music, but to intimate that more sentiment exists here than the music admits to. There ought to be an interna- tional committee to limit the num- ber of performances of Brahms symphonies. Last night, the ex- cesses and torpor of Brahms Fourth were only accentuated by a reading which lacked linear plas- ticity and dynamic modulation. The University Musical Society is to be congratulated on bringing the RPO to Ann Arbor, and chast- ised for its failure to provide pro- gram notes. Penn intertwines Mickey in a dense, circular world, where ma- chines, the mob and even his girl- friend seem to turn on him. The futility of running from the un- known is wonderfully accented by the presentation and representa- tion of mysterious characters, such as the deaf mute who keeps coming back to remind Mickey to cotninue fleeing. "Mickey One," well known in Europe as the best of American films, is in many ways superior to "Bonnie and Clyde." It is a far richer film, employing every pos- sible device, including music by Stan Getz and the noises of the city, to stress Mickey's strange guilt and flight. issue of "Poetry," "Poetry" is1 considered by many poets as thej high mark of periodical publica- tion. Miss Zweig's poetry has fre-; quently appeared in "Genera- tion", the campus inter-arts mag- azine, and in 1966, "Generation"< presented her in a reading of hert own work. The two poems appear- ing in "Poetry" were read at that1 time. Much of Miss Zweig's poetry is imagistic, and is particularly memorable for being freshly con- ceived and cleanly articulated. * * * A grant of $84,000 from the W. K.
