BARRACKS ROAD THEATRE -Starting
tonight at Barracks Road is Franco
Zeffirelli's heralded movie production of
William Shakespeare's highly rated play,
Romeo and Juliet. I have only heard good
reports on this production, and Life
magazine says this of the film, "Dazzling!
Once you see it, you'll never again picture
Romeo and Juliet quite the way you did
before!" Playboy magazine terms the
movie, "Beautiful." If you are interested in
finding the various show times, call
296-2149.

JEFFERSON THEATRE -Kenner, an
adventure film starring ex-Cleveland Browns
superstar fullback, Jimmy Brown, will be
shown tonight for the first time in
Charlottesville at the Jefferson. Kenner
finds love and the adventure of his life in
exotic Bombay. Features start at 1, 3, 5, 7,
and 9 p.m.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE-Showing
again tonight is the Cavalier Daily's
nomination for "Blood and Gore Film of
the Year." Where Eagles Dare is the lucky
nominee, and it stars two of the most
dynamic men in Hollywood today, Richard
Burton and Clint Eastwood. The two men
work so extraordinarily well together that
they, with the help of their friends, nearly
obliterate the Nazi's most unimpregnable
fortress which is accessible only by ski-lift
and helicopter. Features start at 12:45,
3:30, 6:15, and 9 p.m. Price is $1.50.

UNIVERSITY THEATRE -The Prime
of Miss Jean Brodie begins tonight at the
theatre around the corner, and it stars
Maggie Smith. "A real movie, movie. 'The
Prime of Miss Jean Brodie' comes to life
with Maggie Smith ... A performance that
should not be missed under any circumstances,"
says Judith Crist of the Today
Show. Curtain rises at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 p.m.

THURSDAY FILM SERIES -Leslie
Caron stars as a frightened young woman
who finds tender romance while awaiting
the birth of a baby conceived in a loveless,
brief affair.

The movie will be shown in the
Newcomb Hall Ballroom and the price is 50
cents per person. Shows at 7 and 9:30 p.m.
