you.)

Sunset Boulevard (Wilson
Hall; 7 and 9 p.m.; $.75 or

Swanson, a crazy, demanding,
rapacious ex-silent film star
who refuses to grow old
gracefully, hires an out-of-work
scriptwriter to write a script
for Salome, a doomed project
in which she hopes to interest
Cecil B. DeMille and stage a
comeback. With William

Daisies (Wilson Hall; 4:30, 7
and 9 p.m.; series ticket).
Czech director Chytlova
manages some truly interesting

1,3:30, 6 and 8:30 p.m.; $2)

The Discrete Charm of the
Bourgeois (University; check
date and times; $2 except $1
during Good Neighbor Hour)
Luis Bunuel's totally mad film
about the fantasies of a small
group of bourgeois Frenchmen.
The plot, if you care to call it
that, centers around a dinner
party that never happens.
Think of the wildest disasters
you can imagine possibly to
prevent a dinner from being
held, and even then you still
haven't come close to the
insanity of which Bunuel is
capable. Check theater for
dates; Cabaret may be held
over for week.
