Liberation Theatre

Thursday night (December 12)
at Gilmer Hall (7-9-11 p.m.) the
Liberation Theatre will continue its
pursuit of "a cultural alternative."

A film, "Bike Boy" (105 minutes)
starring non-actress Viva by
non-director Andy Warhol. The
film was released after, Warhol's
classic "Chelsea Girls;" it was made
in 1967.

- "Warhol is America's most
prolific film-maker."

- "Whatever you think of Warhol's
films, each of them presents a
challenge to its viewer, and all of
them demonstrate a love of the
medium so great that its potentials
can be reduced almost to nothing
and the result is still a movie.
Warhol spoofs everything we are
used to, as far as movies in America
are concerned, especially the sexual
neuroses of Americans; Hollywood
has utilized these so perversely that
the females of our nation are conditioned
to fall madly for guys who
unknowingly ape the absurd histrionics
of all-American-male roles
played by homosexual actors. It's
not quite that way in a Warhol epic,
to say the least."

-Miller Francis

Granted, Andy Warhol's view of
the world is probably not like yours
or mine, and it might even be
unrealistic. However, if any of us
intend to explain even a few of the
complexities of our society, let's do
it with all viewpoints represented
and not with fourth-hand myopic
opinions. We have felt that many
sides of life or shades of opinion
have been neglected in this environment.
We are trying to fill that gap,
knowing full well that the ultimate
analysis and opinion will be yours.

AFTER THOUGHT: The Liberation
Theatre will support the first candidate
for Student Council who
makes his presence known at our
presentation of Warhol's "Bike
Boy."
