Page 18--Wednesday, July 23, 1980-The Michigan Daily Movies, concerts at fair 4 By MARK COLEMAN It may take a few hours or it could only take a few minutes-but even- tually you're going to get bored with what passes as "art" in the Ann Arbor Art Fair. Fear not--there's a lot more to do this week than gaze at turquoise jewelry or velour landscape paintings. The best entertainment bet among the high-priced hype that dominates this annual event are the free films. Ann Arbor Film Co-op is offering movies every night of this long, long week. TONIGHT, AT 7 P.M., the co-op features Nicholas Ray's bizarre Bigger Than Life at 7 p.m. and the film adap- tation of Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, starring Errol Flynn at 9 p.m. Both are in Auditorium A, Angell Hall. Tomorrow is French-with-English- subtitles night, starting with Jane Fon- da in the obscure but excellent The Game Is Over and a three hour mon- strosity called Celine and Julie Go Boating at 8:15 p.m. These films are in Auditorium A also-did I forget to tell you the place isn't air conditioned? Well, the Modern Language Bulding is, and its huge Auditorium B will be the scene on Friday in cool comfort for the low-budget Canadian (that can't be as bad as it sounds) Going Down the Road at 7 and 10:20 p.m. In between is the venerable Katherine Hepburn in Christopher Strong at 8:40 p.m. TWO JOHN FORD epics shown on Saturday at MLB are Drums Along the Mohawk at 7 p.m. and Young Mr. Lin- coln at 9 p.m. And if you don't like movies? Well there are all kinds of free concerts scheduled at various locations throughout the fair. For information regarding who's playing, where they're playing and when, turn to the enter- tainment schedule on page 16. A number of local bars feature musical entertainment, though they will undoubtedly be hopelessly crowded so it's best to go early. V Perhaps the best part-of the Art Fair is the spontaneous jams that usually take place on the Diag: Last year I heard everything from folk music to African percussion ensembles to free jazz sax players and howling dogs. For once quantity overcomes quality as far as the Art Fair is concer- ned-if you don't like what's in front of you there's always something different a few steps away. YOUR BEST BET for entertainment during the Art Fair is another free event-the Ann Arbor Summer Sym- phony will perform in acoustically per- fect Hill Auditorium tomorrow evening at 8:30 p.m. All kinds of entertainment can be found along the pathways of the Ann Arbor Art Fair. An open mind and a comfortable pair of shoes are essential: If one adopts the motto of Pere Ubu-Don't Expect Art-it can be an enjoyable experience.
