7 weekdays; from 1 weekends
and Wednesdays) - Roman Po-
lanski deftly creates here a
unique and perceptive study of
a seldom - glimpsed period of

stunning.****
The Sting - (State, from 7
weekdays; from 1 weekends
and Wednesdays) - It seems
impossible that there really are
people insAnn Arbor who haven't
seen this diverting, R o b e r t

they're wrong. ****
King of Hearts - (Campus,
from 7 weekdays; from 1 week-
ends and Wednesdays) - The
perennial Harvard Square fav-
orite drops by for its umpteenth

ly thought-provoking study of

daily) - Ronald Neame re-
deems his waterlooged disaster
Poseidon Adventure with this
interesting if cliched film. **

LEON REDBONE . . . sings and plays instruments-including his nose-tonight at
The Ark.
Head liners:
Never seen a man make music with his nose, eh? Well, the opportunity awaits you
at The Ark tonight. Leon Redbone, a scrawn ily brilliant blues artist, will play and sing
his extraordinary repertoire. The high point has got to be his saxophonal nose-playing.
. . . For movie-goers, it's a week of marvelous re-runs: "The Sting" and "Chinatown,"
easily two of the most entertaining 1974 films, are back in town. On the intellectual side,
surrealist director Frnando Arrabal will be at Angell A Sunday night to answer questions
after the showings of his disturbing, excellent film, "Viva La Muerte." Season's Greet-
ings, and see you next term.
