There will be a reception for the artists beginning at 2 p.m. The public is cordially invited to meet the artists at the reception. recep-tion. Merril Hamilton is a native of Price, Utah and is presently a resident of West Valley City. While his recent work has been heavily focused on portraying wildlife he has also done much work in historical, prehistorical, and commercial commer-cial areas. He spent several years preparing and illustrating exhibits at Utah Museum of Natural History in Salt Lake City, and has designed and executed many exhibits and murals for the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum. His work has been published in a number of scientific publications, the latest of which is a paleontological ACIassic Recommended Good double feature material . Time-killer For masochists only 2 My Favorite Year Any year is a good one when it offers Peter O'Toole in such a fine comic role. As an aging swachbuckler, Alan Swann, O'Toole opens the film in bed with a young girl, giving out the funniest, most dissipated wheeze in the history of movies. His character, an homage to Errol Flynn, is sad, bracing, and wanly elegant. The year is 1954, and Swann is set to make a live television appearance on the (Q)iHin(gIkii memoir of the Carnegie Museum. Hamilton has won a number num-ber of awards for graphic design and fine art including a first place professional oil at the Utah State Fair. His work has been shown in man . juried shows including the Desert News annual show in Salt Lake City; the Festival of the American West in Logan; and the Jackson Hole Art Association annual show. Stephen Young Hedgepeth was raised in Kaysville, Utah where, in the open country and farmland of West Kaysville, he spent much of his childhood. The memories of those sunlit fields and grassy ditch banks are one source of inspiration for many of his paintings. He grew up just two blocks away from the home of LeConte Stewart whose work in later years became a great influence on the direction direc-tion of his painting. Hedgepeth studied at Weber State University un-. der Richard Van Wagner and Arthur Adelman. His by Rick hit program "Comedy Cavalcade" with comedian "King" Kaiser if Swann's alcoholic stamina can carry him through. The show's youngest writer, Benjie Stone (Mark Linn-Baker) is assigned to be nursemaid for Swann, his movie idol, and the two develop a warm, vagabond relationship that ultimately puts in a good word for hero worship. The "Cavalcade" is based on Sid Caesar's old "Show of Shows," and Benjie is supposedly sup-posedly the young Mel Brooks. Those are big shoes to fill for Linn-Baker, and often he comes off as overly cute. But Linn-Baker is generally good as an impish innocent character. Director Richard Benjamin Benja-min has an affectionate eye for New York climes, and his handling of slapstick is often explosively funny. But he doesn't create a convincing, comfortable depiction of the hectic world of '50s live television. The actors look like they met each other minutes ago though it's funny to watch Joseph Bologna, Bo-logna, as the brawny comic "King" Kaiser, and songwriter song-writer Adolph Green as a fretful producer. Cameron TTrnvia Steve Korogi Korogi kaptures sandwich again Steve Korogi made it two in a row as he conquered our trivia quiz last week. And in doing do-ing so, he won the right to consume a free sandwich sand-wich from the Main Street Deli. Korogi knew that "American Graffiti" was the movie featuring Terry the Road, the Pharoahs, and an elusive T-Bird; that comedian Don Novello is better known as Father Guido Sarduc-ci; Sarduc-ci; and that Steve Soli was the fellow in our How About It who hadn't grown up, or claimed he hadn't. Recently, Korogi has been the man to beat. So you've got to get those answers quick to The Newspaper office at 419 Main, or call us at 649-9014, 649-9014, a lot sooner than Tuesday noon though that is the official deadline ! Here are this week's queries : 1. Sean Connery and Anthony Quayle appeared in a Tarzan film as villains. We don't want to know the name of the picture (it was probably something like "Tarzan's Secret Itch," etc.) but tell us who played Tarzan. 2. What was the name of Red Skelton's hobo character? 3. In the Region 11 volleyball championship, the Miners beat the Miners. How could this be? I '"5:. ... ill goal as a painter is to capture cap-ture in his work feelings that are appreciated by a viewer and to set free emotions created from nature. Hedgepeth has exhibited in a number of area Brough Mitchell is great in a short scene as a labor racketeer satirized on the "Cavalcade." "Caval-cade." Breathing like an asthmatic bull, Mitchell's role is as much a tribute to old-movie style as O'Toole's. Conan the Barbarian Where is "Conan" playing? play-ing? Anywhere it want to! John Milius' picture has an intimidating vigor; it is rife with beheadings, dismemberment, dismem-berment, and blood spurting in the corner of the screen. The tone is somewhat campy, befitting Conan's origins as a hero of 1930's pulp fiction and recent comic books. But you get the feeling that writers Milius and Oliver Stone were aided by some authentic savage out of pre-history. Conan is a young Cimmerian Cimmer-ian lad whose parents are killed by the rampaging warlord Thulsa Doom. He's bound in slavery to a giant grain wheel, and over the years develops muscles like Arnold Schwarzenegger's which he soon learns to use slaughtering people on the pit-fighting circuit. (The old narrator says ironically, "He gained a sense of Test 4 -'V Merril Hamilton galleries, and shows, including in-cluding the Deseret News, the Cody Art League National Invitational Show in Cody, Wyoming, and a one-man show at the Salt Lake Art Center. self-worth.") Schwarzenegger is obviously ob-viously more comfortable in combat than in a Shakespearean Shake-spearean soliloquy. But his acting has an innocent, awed quality; his eyes light up like little coals when he spots some new wonder, whether it be a giant snake, lustrous jewel or sweaty orgy. Vz The Personals A compassionate little fiml that doesn't always know where it's going. But it still can explore the topic of modern relationships with a modest, funny flair. William Schoppert plays a character who might be the Midwest cousin of Woody Allen. He's a slightly balding, somewhat tubby Minneapolis publisher named Bill Hendricksen, still at a loss after his divorce. divor-ce. His buddy (Paul Eiding) urges him to get back in the swing, and after a few false starts, he places a "Personals" "Per-sonals" ad and finds Adrien-ne, Adrien-ne, who is intelligent, lof-ving, lof-ving, compatible and attached. at-tached. This independent film produced in the Twin Cities has an effective off-hand way of connecting with real Kimball Art Center Christmas gifts Hundreds of gift items made by local and other western artists will be displayed in the Kimball Art Center's Art of Christmas Present exhibit.

The movie, at its best, keeps that balance. I appreciates the inventive, yearning people who try to connect at singles bars or parties, their sudden joys and sudden crashing blunders. (One guy at a party scene cracks a little lit-tle joke and his date coldly replies, "Is that supposed to be funny?") The movie's biggest problem in the abundance of empty space. The film uses its Nicolette Larsen soundtrack soun-dtrack over long scenes of the hero shaving, wandering around, watching young nubile roller-skaters in the park. In fact, so much action takes place around the park, the picture should be called "Rollerball." There is enough personal emotion, however, to justify the title. Now showing At the Holiday Village Cinemas: Class of 1984 Creepshow (Not rated) My Favorite Year whose work will be featured are Tom and Paris Bottman, Lee Dillon, Denny Howard and Bruce Dehnert.
