TW IT: 3ST IS What would a contemporary Hamlet be like? Helmut Kautrer, who wrote, produced and directed The Rest is Silence, cast him as a German named John Claudius who lived in America during Tforld Tier II and was later summoned back to Dusseldorf by his uncle upon the death of his father. Part of the enjoyment of this movie lies in discoverin7 how it parallels Shakespeare's play. John's (Hamlet's) mother, Gertrud, marries his Uncle Paul; two mys terious phone calls (ghosts?) con vince John his fatl-er was murdered; John falls in love - with a sad-eyed fracile Ophilia; a ballet is presented to lessure the reaction of Gertrud and his Uncle Paul. Like Hamlet, John finally overcomes his indecision and avemes his father's death by shooting his uncle. The most obvious deviation from Shakespearets plot occurs at the end of the -fovie, for our modern Haml3t does not die . . . he faces the silence of living in a country which he neither loves nor in wi - ich he is loved. The zest is Silence was a clever and wonderful film that will not soon be forgotten by anyone who MU it. The next foreign film, Syriphonie Pastoriale will appear on December 4. Re sure to attend.

NEW 1 COMMUNITY SINGERS IN CONCERT The Erie Playhouse is going to get a chance to show what their beautiful new stage can do without the benefit of additional settings when they present the popular Folk Singing Group, THE NEW COMMUNITY SINGERS in a concert Friday November 26th. The group of students from Ohio State University who burst into the musical spotlight with their hit recording of "Manry and the Sea" were the stars of the Miss Universe Pagent of 1965. The two young ladies and five young men with their engaging style of upbeat folk music are a refreshing breath of air in this age of bushy mained screamers. Testimony to the quality of their style is the long list of well known spots at which they've played. Some of the better known are the Fountain Blue, The Algiers & The Seville, all in Miami Beach, Florida; Grosingers, The Concord, and Tamarack in the Borscht Circuit. Just recently they played to standing room only at the Eagles Club right here in Erie. Among their T.V. credits are "The Jackie Gleason Show" and "The Mike Douglas Show." There will be two performances, one at 7:00 P.M. and the second at 9:00 P.M. Tickets are priced at a low of $1.50 which puts it in the reach of just about everyone. All seats are reserved.
