The precision and grace of the troupe suggest years of training and discipline, but their art was formed by centuries cen-turies of tradition. Chinese magic and acrobatics are more than a series of stunts. Most of the acts in this show were created and performed by the Chinese more than 2,000 years ago, and have always been an integral part of the Chinese culture. The Chinese Magic Circus has been enthralling audiences audien-ces worldwide for the past six years, going as far afield as Southeast Asia, Central and South America, England, Israel, South Africa and Rhodesia, as well as Canada and the United States of America. In addition to appearing with Liberace for three years in Las Vegas, Reno and Lake Tahoe, the Chinese Magic Circus also presented its own production at 1 X, , ;s f if v n p , . ; l -I Mil t, , . ! .

KPCW launches training workshop KPCW is launching its second annual Winter Volunteer Volun-teer Training Workshop. Learn the art of broadcasting broadcast-ing at one of the most successful small-market "community" radio stations in thecountry. Training sessions will start the second week in February and will entail 15 hours of instruction in basic FCC rules and regulations, control con-trol room operation, voice and cition and production skills. Movie festival verdicts These classes are not only for people interested in becoming disc jockeys, but anyone who would like to become involved with the station on a volunteer basis, including news and program production. According to General Manager Man-ager Blair Feulner, "this is an ideal opportunity for anyone who has ever wanted to learn about radio in a hands on environment without with-out having to take courses in theory. Radio is mostly a learned trade and what KPCW will teach are the basic skills necessary to be on the air." The station at this point is especially in need of volunteers volun-teers in the areas of programming, pro-gramming, news and production, pro-duction, as well as volunteers volun-teers interested in Blue-grass, Blue-grass, Jazz, Classical, Country Coun-try Western, Top 40, Oldies and Big Band. In addition, KPCW is expanding its news and information commitment and will be training new reporters, producers and music directors. Contact station manager Blair Feulner or operations director Steve Lloyd for applications and further information. in-formation. Drop by the KPCW studios in the Memorial Me-morial Building, or call 649-9004 or 649-8395. Help KPCW get better in the new year and learn the art of radio. Missing' misses; scores This film is, sadly, forgettable. for-gettable. One fails to find in it either passion, or insight, and in terms of plot, one can easily see how the cards will turn up for Jack Lemmon, the conservative businessman business-man confident that his government gov-ernment will find his son, who has disappeared in the wake of the Chilean coup; and Sissy Spacek, as his more skeptical daughter-in-law. The embassy officials in the picture are so obviously transparent, it's hard to see why even a Rotarian like Lemmon puts his trust in them. The coup seems to have all the production values gunshots gun-shots in the background, jeeps roaming the street sand-corpses sand-corpses decorating the sidewalksbut side-walksbut lacks a vital center to give it horror. To be sure, director Costa-Gavras comes close with a few eerie images a white stallion gallops gal-lops down the boulevard pursued by a jeep; a man in a dress shop lurks in fear behind his mannequins, dressed in bridal dresses; and the floodlit stadium, filling up slowly with political politi-cal prisoners, is memorable. But I can't shake my disappointment, especially in comparison with one of the MEMO: A note of reason and then some . . . for buying NOW at Dave Strong 5SSCHE 1045 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah independent films. While "Missing" struggles for two hours to capture a sense of haunted outrage, "The Weavers' Reunion" encapsulates encapsu-lates it in one song. At their November, 1980 concert, they sing an accapella lament la-ment on "A woman who has disappeared in Chile." The film is fascinating for its music, the exploration into the 1950s blacklisted folk groups that gave birth to the folkers of the 1960s; and the spirited poignancy of the group's aging. Another piercing work at the festival is Dan Reeves' video work "Smothering Dreams" which juxtaposes childhood gunfights with the confused pain and horror of a U.S. platoon in Vietnam pinned down in a rice paddy fire-fight. (The video camera cam-era shambles around, in emulation of the men it is filming.) The work offers no easy answers about cultural conditioning, war, the ideals sought through violence, but the void left by the questions yawns more threateningly than ever. Ebert rated Finally, let us be so unorthodox as to give a rating to a seminar. Roger Ebert's "Eye of the Beholder" Be-holder" (4 stars) is one of the most interesting sessions ever offered at the festival. Ebert's method, to crudely summarize, was to proceed through the clasic "Citizen Kane" with a special projector pro-jector equipped to freeze, reverse, slow-forward, etc., the film. He established a few basic rules of visual composition (right center of the frame is the most natural attractive position; movement move-ment to the right or forward is stronger than movement to the left or backward). And the audience's goal was to spot their use in "Kane" along with discussion of the varied special-effects tricks contained in the picture. The audience was instructed in-structed to yell "Stop" at a point in the film they wanted to talk about. The sessions were a good learning experience. experi-ence. The giddy power one had to "stop" the film was exhilarating. "Kane" was a richly rewarding specimen for study. And Ebert displayed dis-played capable teaching, as well as critical credentials. aafl0 1 j Long wait for food We didn't get the Trivia Corner in last week's paper, because we were preoccupied with all the nontrivial quality movies playing this week with the U.S. Film and Video Festival. And winner Don Durbin had to wait two weeks before we officially of-ficially awarded him his free sandwich from the Main Street Deli. Don knew that Russell Johnson played the Professor on Gilligan's Island; that Glenn Miller was missing in action in a World War II plane crash; and that Rich Martinez served on City Council for 16 yars. You won't have to wait two weeks for your Deli prize this time. If you can crack this week's quiz, come to The Newspaper office at 419 Main Street, or call at 649-9014 before Tuesday noon. 1.
