Interviews With Israelis, Palestinians To Be On TV

On Saturday, January 17, at 9 p.m., Channel 20, WFYI, will air “Israel and the Palestinians: Will Reason Prevail?” — an extremely timely program investigating the current status of the Israel-Palestinian conflict on the West Bank and Gaza. The showing will include exclusive interviews with all the major Palestinian personalities in the occupied territories and with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, newly-elected Israeli labor party leader Shimon Peres, PLO Leader Yasser Arafat, former Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak

Rabin.

The program was shot in October and November on the West Bank just prior to the closing of the entire area earlier this month to foreign journalists, unaccompanied by Israeli military authorities. The program is evenly balanced between timely

information, including several possible new pegs. This is the first detailed interview with Peres since he was chosen December 22, to run against Prime Minister Begin in the next Israeli elections. Also, the Palestinian mayor of Bethlehem (Elias Freij) courageously calls on PLO leader Arafat to renounce terrorism and accept Israel’s right to exist. It also includes interviews with Palestinians who have been arrested since the recent disturbances at Bie Zeit University. This program was produced by John P. Wallach, foreign editor, the Hearst Newspapers. Mr. Wallach has won three major awards in the last two years: an Overseas Press Club Award, The Raymond Clapper Award, (the highest honor bestowed by the White House Correspondents Association) and the Edward Weintal prize.

Critic's Corner

"Makin' Whoopee" Whopping Show You can go to the movies, you can turn on your TV or stereo, but there is nothing like, nothing that compares to Live Theatre. How can one possibly express in words that rare treat of experiencing the comedic genius of Imogene Coca in person? There is nothing like the thrill of having her there in front of you, live, in the flesh, a three dimensional comedienne making her expert faces at you personally, and the both of you deliciously enjoying every minute. From the very first note of the lively toe tapping overture to

the traditional long curtain call ‘ ‘Makin’ Whoopee’ ’ is one full | evening of joyous euphoria. Usually you are lucky to have one = fine comedian on stage. “Makin’ Whoopee” has at least five. § There are numerous precious comic bits, an abundance of g

hilarity. The talented cast is loaded with wonderful triple

threat performers (those who can sing, dance, and act). The “ bouncy and energetic chorus displays excellent voices as well §

as proficient dancers.

There are so many factors that make this presentation so entertaining. The spectacular choreography is lively and extremely imaginative. The costuming is exquisite. The creative direction is magnificent. But most of all it is the cast. They supply the energy and create that happy atmosphere that they are enjoying it just as much as you are. They smile, they laugh, they join the audience in the sharing of a most delightful experience. Everyone has fun. It is really magic

time in the theatre.

When I see a sensational show such as “Makin’ Whoopee” there is no way I can consider myself a critic. I am just one of the many, many enthusiastic members of a very ap-

preciative audience.

The hit musical “They’re Playing Our Song” written by the best in the business Neil Simon with music composed by Marvin Hamlisch comes to Clowes Hall February 2. With that combination it can easily be assumed that Clowes Hall has

two extraordinary winners in a row.
