Show "Doll House" opens Film Festival "A Doll's House," starring Jane Fonda, will be shown Thursday at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the Southern Utah State College Science Building, room 121. There will be no admission charged for the movie adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's play, which has been selected by the SUSC Women's Resource Committee to begin a five-part film festival about women. "Each film in the series will be shown twice, both at 3 and 7 p.m. in order that all interested persons may attend the presentations," Betty Kingsford, spikeswoman for the Women's Resource Committee, sajd. All films will deal with women, from Ibsen's controversial "A Doll's House," first presented in 1897, to themes dealing with contemporary Twentieth Century Cen-tury women. When originally presented, Ibsen's play was revolutionary and shocking to audiences whose laws and social customs decreed that a wife had virtually no rights or responsibilities as an individual in-dividual apart from her husband. Ms. Fonda's interpretation of Nora makes the doll-wife's decision to take the first momentous step toward becoming a whole person more understandable than other interpretations in-terpretations have allowed. "The public is cordially invited to attend this and all other provocative films in the series," Mrs. Kingsford said. |
