This month its weekend film festivals star both Bergmans and the program pro-gram includes the film in which the two worked together. to-gether. The Ingrid B. films play at 7:30 on Saturdays and Sundays. The Ingmar B. films play at 9:30. As if this wasn't an interesting gimmick, the Ingmar Bergman films are arranged around the four seasons of the year, from "The Virgin Spring" to "Winter Light." The first double feature leads off on Feb. 5-6 with "Intermezzo." In her U.S. film debut, Ingrid Bergman played a young musician who falls in love with a married conductor, played by Leslie Howard. , The second film 'is "The Virgin Spring," about a young farm girl brutally raped by visitors, and the grisly revenge planned by her father. On Feb. 12-13, the Ingrid B, feature is "Casablanca," that perennial favorite about love, politics, and intrigue in Nazi-occupied Africa. Put "As Time Goes By" on the record player and tell your favorite gal, "Here's lookin' at you, kid." The Ingmar B. cp hit has the lightest mood of all his films this month. "Smiles of a Summer Night" tells of the romantic complications between be-tween a group of people gathered at a country estate. Control office, 649-8284 vJplJ61 Auditions for 'Jean Brodie' Egyptian Theatre executive director Don Gomes announced an-nounced this week that well-known Salt Lake director, Scott Zogg, has been selected to direct the theatre's April offering, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. Zogg has directed a variety of shows in the Salt Lake Valley including Feiffer's People, Jack or the Submission and is currently directing Miss Margarida's Way for the Salt Lake Acting Company. Auditions for Brodie will be held at the Egyptian Theatre on Feb. 7 and Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. The show calls for four men, four women and 10 juvenile females ages 11 years and up (6th grade). Scripts are available at the Egyptian Theatre to read before the auditions but must remain at the theatre. Production dates for Brodie are April 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16. Miss Jean Brodie is a story about a domineering school teacher. "Give me a girl at an impressionable age and she is mine for life," she says. She is indeed a formidable figure, molding young minds. And she is so intensely interesting that the girls admire her above all else. On the other hand, she is not honest. She tells the girls to do as she tells them, not as she does herself. She is also having an affair with the music teacher, following a previous one with the art teacher. One girl grows wise and turns on Miss Brodie. For more information about auditions call the Egyptian Egyp-tian Theatre at 649-9371. Two Bergmans in one program at SL Media Center Though practically everyone is paired with the wrong lover, affairs are set right before the movie ends. This film was the basis for the musical "A Little Night Music." A Hitchcock classic, "Notorious," "No-torious," will play on Feb. 19-20. Ingrid B. plays a young woman who marries a Nazi spy (Claude Rains) as part of an undercover operation. Cary Grant is the U.S. agent she really loves. The actress also stars in the co-feature, "Autumn Sonata." She plays a famous concert pianist who has a fearsome emotional confrontation confron-tation with her resentful, repressed daughter, played by Liv Ullman. The last Ingrid B. film "Stromboli" was made in 1949 for her then-husband Roberto Rossellini. The story is about a woman who marries a fisherman, then struggles to adapt to life on a primitive Mediterranean island. But the off-screen story is more famous than the film itself. Bergman caused international shock waves when she became pregnant with Rossellini's child while still married to Dr. Peter Lindstrom. The last Ingmar B. film finishes the seasonal roundup round-up with "Winter Light." Gunnar Bjornstrand plays a minister who is losing his faith in God. The prices are $2.25 for individual films, and $3.00 for the double feature. The Media Center is located at 30 West South Temple. For further information, call 328-4201.

Speaking of great philosophers we were, weren't we? one of Dr. Bop's most favorite, bitchinest heavy-duty thinkers was good ol' Friedrich Nietzsche. Anyway, he wrote a bunch of awesome books with a, bunch of big words like "Thus Spake Zarathustra." And hey, boppers, this Nietzsche dude sure had a way with words. He was always spouting cut super clever sayings like: "A man's stride betrays whether he has found his own way... I love to run swiftly. And though there are swamps and think melancholy on earth, whoever has light feet runs even over mud and dances as on swept ice." Undoubtedly Nietzsche, forever on the lookout for the supermen among us, would love John Bayley. Bayley is definitely the kind of a dude you can picture having a rip-roaring time under even the most adverse conditions laughing his crazed black butt off while having to run through quicksand or thick melancholy or some other gnarly mess. Anyway, the magic that is John Bayley descended upon the Cowboy Bar last weekend. Nietzsche would have loved the show Bayley put on. Bayley an extremely talented, charismatic and totally inspiring reggae-folk musician has attracted a loyal cult audience here on the basis of his appearances at the Cowboy Bar in recent months. Bayley can capture the soul of an audience with only a strum of his acoustic guitar and a robust laugh from his inner depths. His songs are spry and engaging, witn fanciful melodic twists and frequent interjections interjec-tions of improvised scat singing. His guitar style is simple and effective. He aggressively strums rudimentary folk chords (lots of first positions A's and E's and D's and G's and C's) sort of like Cat Stevens or Bob Dylan or Jimmy Page when you give him an acoustic guitar. But Bayley takes it further. Bayley's strumming style incorporates in-corporates the polyrhythmic intensity of reggae, without the benefit of a rhythm section. (He does, however, tap a tambourine with his boot.) His lyrics are simple statements of the simple truths in life, often with an uplifting, spiritual message. One of his best is his own composition, "Positively Positive," with its endless exhortations of "positive energy flowing from you to me." But Bayley can take even more secular material, like Bruce Chanel's chestnut, "Hey Baby," or Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry" and make them sound like catchy examinations of such weighty matters as Mosaic law. Speaking of Biblical prophets we were, weren't we? Bayley is an extremely religious guy. John Bayley is a Rastafarian. You can sort of tell by the way he looks. Bayley wears his hair in the long braids that Bo Derek and Stevie Wonder call "cornrows." But the eccentric hairstyle is more properly referred to an "dreadlocks" by Rastafarians, the Jamaica-based religious reli-gious group which, gave the world reggae music and its prpppnents like Marley . Like Marley, John Bayley is a Rasta. You can sort of tell by the way he talks. He calls people "mon" instead of man, refers to marijuana (the sacred herb of the Rastas) as "ganja" and calls God "Jah." But there is more to being a Rasta than just how you look and talk. Rastafarians have deeply held beliefs which guide their lives every step of the way. For instance, Rastas are deeply committed com-mitted to Biblical prophecy. They take such treatises as the Book of Revelations at face value and assume that the world is on the brink of mass destruction because of God's wrath over the errant ways of mankind. But Rastas are not disheartened by the aura of imminent apocalypse. Instead, they feel that the chaos and destruction will be a necessary first step towards restoring the world to the pristine, Garden of Eden state in which Jah intended man to live peacefully forever until those original sin party animals, Adam and Eve, made the big mistake. Rastas blame the bulk of the world's ills on the misdeeds and decadent selfishness of white imperialistic society. They detest the greed and general nastiness of the white man's world which they allude to as "Babylon," in so doing linking white society to the Biblical capital of corruption and vice. It's a heavy charge. Rastas see America and Europe as the progeny of ancient corrupt peoples who walk outside God's grace and approval through their rampant warlike ways and suppression of helpless Third World peoples. Dr. Bop thinks that Rastas are generally right. Dr. Bop remembers from his days kicking around New York that Rastas are some of the most sincere, genuinely convincing people that you will ever talk to. Their religious beliefs are heartfelt and unshake-able. unshake-able. When a genuine Rastafarian looks you in the eye and tells you the things he or she believes, there is no mistaking that you are being told the truth. You might not agree with everything that a Rasta tells you, but their sincerity and integrity are beyond reproach. Besides that, Dr. Bop always used to like the Rastas because they ivere consistently the most reliable and trustworthy small time narcotics dealers on the streets of Manhattan. Manhat-tan. If you ever got desperate enough to have to Interested in Fine Dining? See our restaurant guide PageB8 hit the streets to score marijuana, you always look for a dreadlocked Rasta to sell it lDrU Bop remembers one particularly trustworthy Rasta dealer who sold very reliable quality nickel and dime bags in Washington Square Park down by NYU in Greenwich Village. This Rasta would not only consistently sell you excellent quality product ("from Jamaica, mon"), but also supplied a graphic rating system of potency. One day, for instance, Dr. Bop was enticed into spending a whole $20 on the Rasta's goods when he informed Dr. Bop, "Hey, mon, this is the best. This morning, I and I get up, mon, and load the big spliff. After I and I smoke it, mon, I and I just have to lay back down. Could not deal with it, mon. "So be careful." Dr. Bop always follows the advice of a trustworthy Rasta. ; Dr. Bop would like to hereby publicly acknowledge that that flute-playing party animal deluxe-Tim Weisberg was in town last week. Weisberg played two nights at the Egyptian Theatre. It was the second year in a row which Weisberg has played a benefit at the Egyptian Theatre. Speculation has it that the arrangement couia wore out to De a yearly event. ' Tim Weisberg loves Park City and Park City loves Tim Weisberg. Rah rah! Dr. Bop was supposed to go see Tim Weisberg. These are the reasons Dr. Bop was supposed to go see Tim Weisberg: 1) Dr. Bop was assigned to review the event by David Hampshire, his beloved editor at the Park City Newspaper. The Park City Newspaper is Dr. Bop's employer. Dr. Bop needs his job. 2) Dr. Bop was given a complimentary review ticket by the lovely and gracious folk who run the Egyptian Theatre. Dr. Bop did not go see Tim Weisberg because: 1) Dr. Bop does not like Tim Weisberg. Weisberg does not play rock 'n' roll. He plays engaging, highly melodic, well-crafted pop Muzak for old farts who are well off enough to be able to cough up $14 for a concert ticket. 2) Speaking of which, it seems to Dr. Bop that $14 is an awfully extravagant ticket price. Many of Dr. Bop's trashy friends could not afford to pay that much. Therefore, Dr. Bop's boycott of the Weisberg concert was partially motivated by a sympathy for the many Bopper low-lifes in Park City who could not afford to go to the concert. Dr. Bop knows that if he had not been given a complimentary review ticket, under normal financial circumstances the perpetually poverty-stricken Dr. Bop would not have been able to get into the Egyptian Theatre last weekend either. 3) Speaking of the Egyptian Theatre, another reason Dr. Bop did not attend the concert was because it was a benefit for the Egyptian. Not that Dr. Bop has anything against the Egyptian itself it's a grand old palace. But Dr. Bop does have a marked aversion to bad theatre. Dr. Bop was not sure if proceeds of ,the event went towards sponsoring bad theatre. So just to play it safe, Dr. Bop decided he had better stay away altogether. 4) Yet another factor in Dr. Bop's decision to avoid Weisberg was the bad weather last Saturday night. Since Dr. Bop's Bopmobile was in its usual state of disrepair, Dr. Bop had no reliable transportation for getting to and from the theatre in the midst of some boppin' bad weather. And Dr. Bop does not trust the Park City buses to get him where he wants to go late at night. Thus, Dr. Bop did not want to take the chance of getting stuck on Main Street at 1 a.m. alone. 5) Speaking of being alone, perhaps the biggest single reason Dr. Bop did not go see Tim Weisberg was because he did not want to go alone. Since Dr. Bop's trashy friends did not have sufficient funds to cover the cost of a ticket (see item H 2 above), Dr. Bop's last chance at companionship for the evening was to get a date. Unfortunately, the young Bop-ette whom Dr. Bop approached on this matter blew Dr. Bop off. So Dr. Bop had no one to go to the concert with. All of which made Dr. Bop like Tim Weisberg less than before. Anyway Boppers, that's Dr. Bop's review of the Tim Weisberg concert. Hope you enjoyed it. Finally, Boppers, this week's Rock 'n Roll Excellence in Action Award goes to Kenny Loggins. A few days back, Loggins was preparing to perform a big concert before a packed house at the Marriot Center in Provp. As curtain time drew near, Loggins and his band took the stage in darkness. A little too much darkness, as it turned out. Kenny, unable to see where he was going, took a nasty fall off the stage into the orchestra pit and was injured so bad that he couldn't carry on. The show was stopped before one note had been played. What a boppin' big bummer! Loggins' only consolation was that the scheduled concert was on a Thursday night which meant that while he was recuperating Friday afternoon he was able to tune in from 3 to 5 p.m. to the Dr. Bop show on KPCW 91 9 FM. The Dr. Bop show always makes rock 'n' roll convalescents feel better about themselves. them-selves. Primarily by instilling the credo in their craniums that rock 'n roll is for the young. Or at least the young at heart. So don't get too grown up. |
