Clark and Susan Tyrrell are, and-with the exception of
Tyrrell's accomplished, Oscar-nominated, but out-of-key
wino-they are as good as anyone has been in movies in
recent years. The scene is Stockton, California, but the
location is the night of the soul which doesn't even manage
to be dark anymore, just grungy via Conrad Hall's location
shooting. It's the end of some kind of line, but curiously Fat
City isn't a depressing movie-it's too undemonstratively
sensitive and truly observed to have that effect.
The series begins, contrary to custom, the very first
Tuesday of the academic quarter, so bear that in mind.
Matinee (3:30) and evening (8:00) performances are held;
specify which you're looking for when you order your
ticket(s). The showplace is Roethke Auditorium, 130 Kane
Hall. Admission, as always, by series ticket only: nine
programs for $9.00 (nonstudents), $7.00 (students). Phone
543-4880 for how-to-buy info.

Our local theatres have been pleasantly a-stir-starting,
naturally, during the month when we didn't have a You Only
Live Once column. The newly-made-over Moore-Egyptian
(2nd & Virginia, 622-9352) is running the Harry Truman
picture, Give 'Em Hell, Harry, for which James Whitmore has
received a Best Actor Oscar nomination; the film of this
theatrical success was actually shot in the Moore itself just
before the renovation. Probably on March 26, the Moore-
Egyptian will open one of those new Lina Wert milller
pictures, All Screwed Up (Everything Ready-Nothing
Works); and Claude Jutra's Kamouraska is still on their list of
promised attractions (it has been deferred thus far while the
new house is busy raising its recognition value with Seattle

filmgoers). SFS members should bear in mind that the
Moore-Egyptian has joined the list of local theatres giving
SFS discounts.
Among other theatres honoring SFS memberships with
their discount rate, the Broadway (Broadway & Olive,
323-1085) expect to be playing Sidney Lumet's Dog Day
Afternoon soon. The Edgemont has lined up The Wind and
the Lion and Zulu for Thursday-Sunday, March 4-7 (a rare
chance to see Zulu on a wide screen instead of da toob-it
was filmed in 70mm Technicolor and is pictorially very
handsome); Thurs.-Sun., March 11-14, the Edgemont bill is
Three Days of the Condor / Harry and Tonto. Meanwhile, the
Neptune (N.E. 45th & Brooklyn N.E., 633-5545) is running
Three Days of the Condor the previous week, March 3-9,
with Chinatown as cofeature; they'll follow that with Funny
Lady and a rare 35mm revival of the 1942 Fred Astaire - Rita
Hayworth picture You Were Never Lovelier. The Rose Bud
Movie Palace (3rd S. & S. Washington, 682-1887) will be
playing Hawks' 20th Century on Thurs.-Sun. March 4-7 and
11-14-Carole Lombard and John Barrymore star in that
granddaddy of screwball comedies-and then the Goldwyn-
Wyler film of Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes-Bette
Davis, 1941-on Thurs.-Sun. March 18-21 and 25-28. Among
the Rose Bud's upcoming attractions will be Lady in the
Lake, the Robert Montgomery version of the Raymond
Chandler novel (the one with the camera standing in for
Philip Marlowe); Conquest, with Garbo and Charles Boyer,
directed by Clarence Brown; and Hitchcock's The 39 Steps.
The Cinemond in Redmond (885-1994) was fresh out of
confirmed bookings when we called, but they're still out
there and they continue to offer the SFS discount.
A goodly number of new foreign films are upon us, thanks
to several houses. Bergman's The Magic Flute will be
succeeded at the Varsity (4329 University Way N.E.,
632-3131) by Francois Truffaut's The Story of Adele H., for
which Isabelle Adjani has won two major Best Actress awards
and an Oscar nomination. Losey's The Romantic Englishwoman
continues at the Guild 45th (N. 45th & Meridian N.,
633-3353); next up is the independently-made and
