Circus with a history comes to UM
A circus with a history is coming to the University of Miami, Saturday, Jan. 22 at 2 p.m. on the patio of the Whitten Student Union. The troupe will offer a free two-hour performance for children with 30 acts, including Tommy Hanneford, "the Riding Fool," who headlines the family bareback riding act, and Princess Tajana, a wild animal trainer who performs with Royal Bengal and Siberian tigers and African lions. Aerialists, acrobats, jugglers and other riders will add to the fun. Known as the "Royal Family of the Circus," the Hanneford family began entertaining in 1621 when Michael Hanneford, an Irishman, toured rural England with a horsemanship act.
Concert pianist
Shura Cherkassky, an internationally-renowned concert pianist, will perform in the Guest Artists Series of the University of Miami School of Music at Gusman Hall at 8 p.m., Monday, Jan. 24. Hailed as prodigy when he first performed in the United States as a child, Cherkassky is currently a favorite in the English and European concert circuit. Cherkassky will play selections from Bach, Beethoven, Prokokieff, Debussy and Liszt. Tickets are $7 to the public, $5 for UM students.

AGAINST A CROOKED SKY—Once again the Indians kidnap a pioneer family's daughter and the chase is on. The film remains very plodding, predictable, and didactic until the last half hour. Then the film suddenly switches gear to pull several emotional twists and punches to more than match its excellent location photography. The acting from young Stewart Peterson as the inexperienced pursuer and Richard Boone as a drunken trapper carries the viewer's interest. Somehow rated G, at the Dadeland Twin Theatre and Coral Way Drive-In through Thursday, Jan. 20. FREAKY FRIDAY—Walt Disney Productions presents an extremely unusual comedy. Anabel, age 13, portrayed by Jodie Foster (a far cry from her last screen appearance as the young streetwalker in "Taxi Driver"), wishes to be her mother for one day. At the very same time, her mother, age 35, portrayed by Barbara Harris, wishes to be her daughter for one day. Mentally, it happens. Anabel's mind occupies her mother's body; the mother's mind, her daughter's body. The results are not what you would think; the film is rated G! Veering completely away from any overt sexual references, the film intelligently, thoughtfully examines the consequences when the responsibilities of adults and adolescents are reversed. For this reason, and the skillful acting of both Foster and Harris, "Freaky Friday" becomes amusing commercial entertainment. Jodie Foster Had the Disney Production outfit avoided the standard car chases and silly slapstick tricks, "Freaky" wouldn't have been freaky at all. It would have been thoroughly satirical and serious film fare. As it is, it remains a better than average Disney product, at the Dadeland Twin Theatre and Coral Way Drive-In beginning Friday, Jan. 21. EDWARD MUNCH—Serious film-making demands both that the viewer be totally involved with the film and that he give of himself, both mind and thought, to the film. This British film is such serious film-making. Munch was an expressionistic Norwegian painter during the late nineteenth century. His life is docuented in a two-hour and 46-minute multi-layered creative form by British director Peter Watkins. Produced by two Scandinavian television networks, the British film combines spoken dialogue in Norwegian (with English sub-titles) with narration in English to artfully balance the film's style and to hold the viewer's interest. Watkin's intense creative work, emphasizes the inner most thoughts and emotions as well as the minute psychological complexities within the artist to the artist's work, art, and beliefs. Nothing short of pure cinema, magnificent from first frame to last, the Peter Watkins film will likely never be equalled again in its genre. It will remain the definitive screen biography of an artist. These are superlatives not easily given. Yet Watkins and his film merit it. For he has created a film that challenges the viewer. Now at the Cinematheque Theatre in Coral Gables, rated R.
