Ex Xl 10H0RR RO RO Exei etl'nce' oncert, T SI -Uay at -ar 1ug S c Hre At The Cinema Guild "Devi" (1960) is a film you should not miss. Some people will be bored with it but I will never forget it. Set in 19th century Bengal, it is the moody story of a very rich7 and prayerful father who receives the visionary word that his daugh- ter-in-law is the incarnation of Bengal's most revered goddess, Kali, mother of all.{ As the young bride - 17 years old and three years married - and most of the household suc- cumb to the father-in-law's will, she herself begins to take the su- perstitious road of belief and ques- tions whether she is really hu- man after all. Her husband, a "progressive and Westernized" In- dian, working hard in school to become an educated man and vaguely thinking of the day he might flaunt his due inheritance, weakly tries to oppose his fath- er and make his wife run away with him. But it is too late. All of Bengal believes in the incar- nation, chiefly because of the child she brings out of an apparently fatal coma. The young bride, half in bewilderment about what has happened and half in belief that it has all happened because of her godly powers, turns back to the father-in-law. Too late again, the son de- cides to tell his father how wrong the old man really is and to take his wife away. A sick nephew dies in the girl's arms, the stunned house can't reconcile it and begins to react to the "witch." And the "witch" can only run-from the demons she senses are infesting her mad mind. Beyond Freudian overtones, cri- ticism of traditional Indian beliefs, and sensitive commentary on 19th century indolence, "Devi" is Sat- By STEVEN HALLER again by Hitchcock and others; Sinfonia of London handling the yajit Ray's richest film yet.

The show is being filmed by the United States Information Agen- cy from start to finish to be shown overseas as part of a series on "The Arts.,in America.", ONCE AGAIN 1965 includes a homegrown Ann' Arbor total thea- tre piece scheduled by .the ONCE group for its appearance, at the Sao Paulo Bienal international arts festival, to which the group was invited as a representative from the United States. "Unmarked Interchange," slat- ed for the opening concert Friday, is a joint creation of many artists. Architects Harold Borkin and Jo- seph Wehrer have built a 20-foot, three level scaffolding on which the piece will be performed, and' they will also take part in the per- formance. Borkin and Wehrer are nation- ally prominent architects. "Unmarked Interchange" will present-live and filmed theatre ac- tivities. The old-Fred Astaire-Gin- ger Rogers-Irving Berlin movie "Top Hat" will be projected against the scaffolding when live, cyclic events will be carried on .continually behind and in front of sliding drawers, louvers, and panels. Saturday night a group of danc- ers from New York will present "A Concert for Ann Arbor." Mem- bers of the group, including paint- er Robert Rauschenberg, former long-distance runner Alex Hay, Deborah Hay, Lucinda Childs,. Steye Paxton, and' Trisha Brown, formerly belonged to the Judson Dance Group, most recently writ- ten up in Saturday Review (Au- gust 28 issue). The dancers will present works of their own, which are as distant from the traditional concept of modern dance as they are from ballet. On Sunday evening, composer John Cage and his longtime co- worker David Tudor will present the premiere performance of "Talk I," a free-form lecture employing' many different kinds of sound and words. Cage's voice will pro- vide live sound, manipulated in various ways, while Tudor will handle specially-built electronic ecuipment'to produce a wide range of musical activity. die and consequently the entire house will simply decay in baffle- ment at the turn in events. The plot is working in just that direc- tion. But the mood conjures the real climax, as the distraught father-in-law sits before his idols and incense and asks the gods what his sin was. The acting, naturally, since it is a Ray film, is superb. The pho- tography is beautiful and control- led only as a director of Ray's stature can make it. It is never pedantic or fussy, capricious or neurotic. It holds its images for the proper time and effect and then releases them. For reasons I could only have room to explain in a book, I pre- fer his "Apu Trilogy" and one of the stories from his "Two Daugh- ters" over "Devi." But I think that "Devi" will grow on me. Give it a chance to grow on you by making it to the Cinema Guild to- night or tomorrow night.
