I Page 8 -The Michigan Daily - Friday, November 14, 1986 Co-op shows animation By Lynn Gettleman After a year of absence, the Ann Arbor Film Cooperative brings a world wide collection of animation to campus this Saturday in the 19th International Tournee of Animation. The program, consisting of 20 animated shorts, has been shown internationally and represents the best films from various festivals worldwide . This year's Tournee includes the 1984 Academy Award winning short "Charade," a Walt Dinsney Productions clay-animated film narrated by Vincent Price, and "Anijam"-a film made by 22 animaters who each contributed 15 seconds of their own work to the piece. "Tonie de Petrie"-a film that uses computer animation to create a 3-D character-will also be featured. According to Glen Mensching of the AAFC, The Tournee has existed at the University for over the past 20 years, and even though there was no Tournee last year, it usually occurs annually. Mensching said that, "Due to great publicity, last time we ran this, we had to turn people away." This year, however, the AAFC is prepared for a large turnout and has added an earlier show . This show along with two others can be seen at the Modern Languages Building, on the corner of Washington and Thayer streets, this Saturday at 5, 7, and 9 p.m. Tickets are $2.50 for adults, $1.50 for childern 12 and under.

Charge by Phone 763-TKTS Penobscot Building Detroit, MI 48226 An Equal Opportunity Employer M/F '20s and '30s, the show is being presented in the newly restored Michigan Theater, where a show like Gypsy belongs. Inspired by the memoirs of legendary stripper Gypsy Rose Lee, Gypsy tells the story of a mother and two daughters; the hopeful young star Baby June, and Louise, the girl with no talent who blossoms into the beautiful queen of burlesque. Arthur Laurents' book, along with the music of Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim's lyrics create heavy demands on the musical theatre actor. From her first line, "Sing out! Louise," Judy Dow dominates the action as the pushy, loud-mouthed stage mother Rose (which she also played in the original AACT production over two decades ago.) Though at times not as overbearing as the part calls for, Dow gives a believable performance as a woman who seems to give everyone she knows stomach problems. Not lacking in her performance is a big, commanding voice required for the songs originally written for Ethel Merman. At her best with a song to sing, Dow demands the full attention of the audience with her every word. A large supporting cast assembled by director Ted Heusel hold their own while' Dow is offstage. Though not always given flattering staging, they make the most of it with their energy and desire to please the audience. At one time or another, each momentarily steals the stage whenever they get the chance. Irresistable Alicia Holbrook and Erin Winkler as Baby June and Baby Louise delight the audience with "Let Me Entertain You," which later becomes the trademark song for Louise in the second act. Lisa Andres and Kelly Lambert replace them as teenage June and Louise, still struggling through the WEEKEND MAGAZINE Fridays in The Daily 763-0379 vaudeville routine imposed on them by their mother. Together, they perform one of the highlights of the first act "If Mama Was Married." Lambert's performance is remarkable as a singer and an actress. She pocesses a full, pleasant' voice which she manipulates freely for the desired effect of a young girl or a mature young lady: Stronger still is her acting, which adds immeasurably to the scenes of the show , especially in the second act. Louise's version of "Let Me Entertain You" depicts her rise to fame on the stage as a shy girl in Wichita, Kansas, to the highest paid striptease artist in the country. Then comes "Rose's Turn," one of the most emotional and character insightful songs ever written for the stage. Judy Dow explores the depths of this song with understanding and extols it in her performance. The last number of the show, Dow totally immerses herself in the song and ends up with a roar of. applause at her feet. Other highlights of the show include Charles Sutherland's performance as Rose's would-be fourth husband, Herbie, and Thomas Cooch :as the song and dance man, Tulsa. Both have a comfort and ease on stage not usually found in community theatre. Sutherland has such a likeable stage personality that his own hurt is felt when he rejects Rose. The number that stopped the show, however, came from none of the main characters, but from Rebecca Smouse, Marina Seeman, and Sandra Storer, who advise, "You Gotta Get a Gimmick," if you want to be a successful stripper. With only inches of a costume to hide behind, Smouse begins the excellently staged number'with her big, belty voice, aided by a trumpet and very impressive hiprcontrol. Seeman joins her with an electryfing performance, then Storer completes the trio, giving a whole new meaning to ballet. They're almost too good.______ Gypsy finishes its run Saturday with performances at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Some of Ann Arbor's Finest Restaurants Offer . 0 . A Great Holiday Gift Idea,..
