...clubhouse than gallery, Zeitgeist provides all counter-cultural necessities: vegetarian potluck dinners on Mondays, poetry readings on Mondays, figure drawing on Wednesdays, jazz on Thursdays and improvisational jazz on Fridays. The director says that he likes multimedia art and installations, preferably "non-traditional" and "politically involved." Currently showing are garish, clumsy paintings by David Grossack and Michael Hallaren.

The films painted, in brisk, garish strokes, America's can-do optimism twisted into gotta-have greed. "What could I do?" asks Stanwyck about an office liaison in Baby Face. "He's my boss, and I had to earn my living." She's bad, but the Depression made...
