TILL 4IN THE MORNING I Library Offers Classic Movie Series by Julie Potochny Collegian Staff Writer Patty Altieri, reference library clerk, has devised a movie pro gram featuring adaptations of novels written by famous authors. These movies are an effort to get more students to use the library recreationally rather than just for research projects. Viewing the film version is intended to en courage the reading of the novels involved. The authors scheduled for the rest of the semester are John Steinbeck, Tennessee Williams and George Bernard Shaw. The first movie, East of Eden, by John Steinbeck, will be shown on Feb. 23 at 1 p.m. in the library conference room. East of Eden is a story of the conflict of good and evil that loosely follows the tale of Cain and Able in the Bible. James Dean gives an outstanding perfor mance as the bad brother, Caleb. The next movie on the agenda is Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to be shown on March 23. This film is about a troubled, wealthy Mississippi family. It stars Paul Newman as the alcoholic son, Rick, and Elizabeth Taylor as his nagging wife, Maggie. The last movie, My Fair Lady, can be seen on April 20. It is a movie version of George Bernard Shaw’s play, Pygmalion. Rex Harrison and Audrey Hepburn star in this delightul tale of a cockney flower girl who is transformed into a cultured lady of the world. The series not only offers free entertainment but is in tellectually stimulating because of the high standards set by these great novelists. There was a very poor turn out for the first movie, Barefoot in the Park. Altieri invites one and all to join in on the fun. She en courages faculty to inform her what works of fiction are being read so she can possibly get the corresponding video. PAGE
