Goal Is To Give Another Form Of Entertainment "Our goal is to provide another mode of entertainment entertain-ment for Park City. We want to help this town become a resort where people can come and not see everything there is to see in just a couple of days." Lee Shaw, manager of the Entertainment Entertain-ment Company, told the Newspaper. The Entertainment Company Com-pany opened "Winter Run 1977" last week at the Silver Wheel Theater-it shows directly after the melodrama-and will be performing per-forming the original revue of music, comedy, dance and production numbers through April. After that, said Shaw, the company will do sum-merstock sum-merstock here in Park City. All members of the cast and crew share a broad theatrical experience, and hail for the most part from Salt Lake City and Provo. "We have all been active ac-tive in professional theater," said Shaw. Two who have been most active, and who have received the most critical acclaim are the company s director, Lemuel Harsh, and, although "Winter Run 1977" has no star, the company's com-pany's star performer, Mike Clapier. Both Harsh and Clapier were a part of this past year's summerstock at Sherwood Hills, and both added ad-ded much to the success of last spring's run of "Shenandoah" at the Capitol Theater in Salt Lake. Also, Clapier starred in the original "Saturday's Warrior," which played at South High during the summer sum-mer of 1974 and which, Shaw told us, was the most popular show in Utah for a "long, longtime." - "Winter Run 1977," Shaw mentioned, although it will be played for three months, has been (and undoubtedly will be) going through evolutionary phases. "You can come one night to see the show, then come see it a week or two later and, though most of it will consist of the same numbers, a few new things will have been added." Shaw said also that the cast and crew currently of fifteen do not form a formidable, for-midable, inpenetrable skin, that the company is always searching for additional talent. "We would like to build up a professional corps of outstanding out-standing performers to play here, in Salt Lake and elsewhere on the road," said Shaw. "We've already been working with the Salt Palace and convention hall hotels-we hotels-we will either go perform down there or bus the conventions con-ventions up here to the Silver Wheel. "Of course we'd rather do the latter, both for ourselves and for the economy of our new hometown." Shaw told us that the Entertainment En-tertainment Company has been overwhelmed with the aid it has received from the people of Park City and he feels certain the company and the town can work together toward mutual success. suc-cess. They decided upon Park City because of its proximity to a large metropolitan area, and because the Silver Wheel "is the neatest little theater they've seen in quite a while." Remodeled, the usuable stage size has been doubled since the Chicago Organic Theater performed "Huck Finn" this fall. "Winter Run 1977" will show every Wednesday and Thursday evening at 8:30 p.m., and on Friday and Saturday nights at 11:00 p.m. They have idea upon idea about how and where to expand-now all they need are large audiences. "That'll come," said Lee Shaw, confidently. con-fidently. Next week the Newspaper will review the Revue. Hatch Supports Youth Work Act U.S. Senator Orrin G. Htach (R-Ut.) last week joined as one of the chief co-sponsors co-sponsors of the Youth Employment Em-ployment Act--a measure designed to help put the nation's youth back to work. Through the existing framework of the Comprehensive Com-prehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA), the new measure would provide summer jobs, work training and vocation development in the private sector for youth employment. The Youth Garn Lashes Out At OSHA Senator Jake Garn ( R-Ut. ) announced last week that he will support legislation to relieve small businessmen of the burdens imposed by the other reasonable litigation costs" to any employer who successfully contests an OSHA citation. "Expenses involved in challenging OSHA citations amount to hundreds of dollars," said Garn. "I understand un-derstand that in many instances, in-stances, these expenses have precluded small businessmen from contesting con-testing citations. They have had to forego litigation, even though they considered themselves innocent of any violation. The enactment of this legislation will enable small businessmen to better protect their legal rights." In a recent survey conducted conduc-ted by his Utah office, the Senator said, the "overwhelming "over-whelming majority" . of small businessmen in Salt Lake. Utah and Weber counties coun-ties indicated they consider OSHA threatening to their existence. T-HE EATIN& TftBbl Featuring the best omeletts this side of Poison Creek.

SMENT 317 Main Street 649-8284 Employment Act would employ em-ploy 1.3 million young people in summer jobs, another 136,000 in full-time employment em-ployment and 576,000 in part-time part-time job training. Under the program, 90 days of summer employment em-ployment would average near $600 in earnings; on-on on-on the job training for six months would earn between four and five thousand dollars; while fully-employed workers would average $8,2000 per year. The estimated cost of the program is $1 billion, but it will provide employment opportunities for nearly 4.4 million young people ages 16 to 24 who account for half of the nation's unemployed. This expenditure, in the long term, will save the nation billions in welfare payments and tax revenue losses. According to Senator Hatch, Hat-ch, "The measure targets one of the most important segments of the population, the young people, who must be given the skills or the incentives to work if they are to assume their role in the free enterprise system." Hatch added, "Another important im-portant aspect of the Youth Development Act is that it uses the existing bureaucracy to put young people back to work without creating another level of government."

If one knew about Dovzhenko and the Russian silent film classics, one would be immediately im-mediately captivated, If not, chances are one waited five minutes for someone to speak and when no one did, switched channels. Too bad, "Earth" is an excellent film, but one that demands a bit of attention on the part of the audience. In this supposedly visual socity, it is (Mel Brooks not withstanding) surprisingly hard for people to sit through a silent film . Perhaps that's mainly because most of our entertainment en-tertainment is oral. (Freud was talking about something else.) Try turning off the sound to "Rhoda" and following the story; it is almost impossible. Of course, words are an important part of our communications process, but the over reliance on the audible has left filmgoers at least partially blind. The saying that a picture is worth a thousand words is especially true for film, but is seldom truly utilized. Consider Dovzhenko's "Earth." When he made the film in 1930 the art of filmmaking had mono oroar err hp; uirn v rr a v pvprv h r c m , 1 1 1 1 .1 riririi'iiiiu k i if iu i 1 1 ii i v imv; iiiu iit.iiivr-i i i -, i v in. i.i 1 1 trr. i iki ai.Lifi i aim qlli loolj uuuvi , ri n iron rna r rn oc J nn 1 1 nuan inu r r f- 1 1 ruiw ii i ij ,, i i.i .l l . expressed inrougn moniaKe leuuinu; lamei :: uicui luciuuiaiuaui. gcotuico. 111c juAiajjuoiuun of two images to produce a strong emotional ; sratpmpnf was user! rather than the vernose - srjeeches that are so common in todav's movies. rru U ! . f 1 1 1 i. v me resumng mm is one wnere aimosi every . r.irrlrt fnmn nriA h1 ri t-i f rl 00 o rvVlfttrtfO rY V single name tuuiu uc piuiiu ao a pnuiugiapu and exhibited. ; Each photograph would have its own feeling, : but when all the photos are strung together and motion added, the resulting film becomes a : poetic statement far stronger than its parts. : Dovzhenko was one of three Russian filmmakers whose understanding of the visual aspect of film and the use of editing to control emotional, intellectual, in-tellectual, and narrative parts of their wordless films has never been surpassed. A good modern film should be a mixture of images in motion, sound, music and words. Most films of today use hackneyed formulas to produce the visual portion of a film, and rely upon the actors' delivery of their lines to tell the story. Perhaps most filmmakers today have grown up watching too much television. Still, it only takes one film like Dovzhenko's "Earth" to show how far we have not come. 2 I) O ; X" a .41 .... 11 m ZORRA MISSED THE LAST ISSUE DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU!
