Show Thursday, December - THE HERALD, Provo, Utah, 2, 1593 Page C7 'Sleepless in Seattle' comina out on video of John Grisham's bestseller. "The Firm," which has grossed $158 million since June, will follow Dec. 16. Like last year's "A Few Good Men," the movie proved that Cruise's fans prefer to see him as a contemporary young professional and that they don't mind if veteran actors steal the show. Gene Ilackman, Gary Busey and Holly Hunter all y turned in supporting performances. Coming Dec. 22 is Ivan "Dave," starring Kevin Kline as a corrupt U.S. President and his idealistic, look'alike replacement.

The December schedule also includes one delightful movie that never found its audience: Ron Mann's "Twist." This Canadian documentary concentrates on Hank Ballard (who created the Twist in 1958), Chubby Checker (who popularized it in 1960) and the silliest dance crazes of the 1950s and early 1960s. The focus may be on the Twist, but there are also cameo appearances by the Fly, the Strand, the Madison, the Mashed Potato, the Itch, the Bop, the Jerk, the Swim, and other examples of what one dour critic Also new this month are a couple of movies that opened big but failed to deliver on their early promise: "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" (coming box-offi- ce PROVO The combined choirs from the Utah Valley Chil- -. dren's Choir choral program will celebrate Christmas with their annual Christmas Concert, "Gifts of Christmas," on Monday.
