...Wall also features the 1975 Oscar winner for best animation, Closed Mondays, filmed from clay figures. A drunk whose face twitches, yawns, and stretches--more movement in his eye sockets alone than in most Saturday morning cartoons--sidles into a one-woman art exhibit. He leans, peers, rocks back, shakes his head: almost every interaction with the objects is exhilirating. Street Musique, (1973), a Canadian film, is an exercise in almost pure animation and the best example of "minimal animation."

...itself the Kielbasa Capital of the World, while across town South Boston mothers wear buttons calling Southie "The Irish Riviera." Groups bound by common heritage are attracting more and more attention from the media: Londoners picket the Bolshoi to show their sympathy for Russian Jews, Brando passes up his Oscar for the sake of Native Americans, and the Basques help Franco destroy himself.

Friday night at 8 p.m. pianist Oscar Peterson moves into Symphony Hall with guitarist Joe Pass. Neither is really coming out of moth balls, but the tickets still aren't a bargain. If classic jazz piano interests you (Cecil Taylor fans may be turned off by Peterson's stuff) then the $5 and up ticket prices won't affect...
...appears before the Avedon camera gets a guarantee of sympathetic treatment. Ezra Pound is captured as a tortured soul. Avedon is gentle with Marilyn Monroe, but Oscar Levant is shown as a fading Neanderthal man. The 40-ft.-wide mural of the eleven-member American Mission Council to Saigon (TIME, April 21) during the Viet Nam War (including General Creighton W. Abrams and Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker) can be used as a Rorschach test, asking the viewer to make a judgment of the members' guilt or innocence...
