Classical Russian pianist will perform
at Wednesday's Brown Bag concert
By ANAS BEN-MUSA
RevieiverofTHE BATTALION
Wednesday afternoon's Brown
Bag Concert will feature a
renowned Russian pianist in 402
Academic.
Vladimir Levtov will play
Alexander Scriabin's Preludes
Opus 11 No. 2, 4, & 6, Etude Opus
8 No. 2, Opus 32 "Two Poems,"
Opus 45 "Three Pieces," Po£me
Opus 72 "Vers la Flamme,"
Prelude Opus 74 No. 2 and Sonata
No. 9 Opus 68 ("The Black
Mass").
Levtov said Scriabin is not as
well known as other Russian com
posers in North America.
"He believed music could
change history," Levtov said. "He
saw himself as some sort of messi-
ah or prophet that will save hu
manity through the beauty of his
music."
Levtov studied at the Conser
vatory in Moscow and continued
his studies at Tel-Aviv University
Vladimir Levtov will perform
Wednesday in 402 Academic.
in Israel, Indiana University,
State University of New York at
Stony Brook, and the Banff Cen
ter for the Arts.
Levtov has performed as a
soloist and chamber music con
certs throughout Europe and
North America.
He said the audiences in North
America are less educated about
classical music.
"It is a much smaller audience
here then in Eastern Europe," he
said.
Levtov is a member of the Mu
sic Faculty at the University of
Calgary in Alberta, Canada.
He has received honorary
awards from the America-Israel
Cultural Foundation, the National
Society of Arts and Letters and
the British Council.
His performance, which starts
at 12:30 p.m., will be broadcast
live by KAMU-FM 90.9, Texas
A&M's public radio station.
The Brown Bag Concerts are
presented by the OPAS Stark Se
ries, the Jordan Institute for Inter
national Awareness and the De

manities' Music Program.
Exhibit shows creativity in watercolors, quilts
By MARSHALL LOVE
Feature Writer for THE BATTALION
A Texas A&M architecture professor and his wife
are showing off their creativity with watercolors and
quilts.
The art of assistant landscape architecture profes
sor Edwin Hoag and his wife Mary Jane is on dis
play in the Joe H. Reynolds Medical Building now
through Nov. 30.
"New Dimensions" features some of Edwin's
southwestern-style watercolor paintings and Mary
Jane's intricate quilts.
Edwin said his background in landscape architec
ture has given him insight into painting.
"I paint missions, barns and a lot of other land
scapes, " he said. "To paint people you must study
anatomy. My background in landscape architecture
has made it all fit together for me."
Edwin said his work now on exhibit has more em
phasis on light and color than his previous work.
He said Mary Jane's work has recently taken a
turn for the unusual. Many of the patterns Mary
Jane has begun using are from Edwin's tie collection.
"I have a lot of ties on the wild side and she used
some of the patterns for her designs," he said. "It re
ally gives her work a completely different look."
"She's working with traditional patterns, but she's
painting and dying her own fabrics," he said.
Mary Jane also makes "wearable art."
"You only have so much wall space, but you can
never have too many clothes," she said.
Edwin said that both he and his wife would create
full time if the opportunity presented itself, and the
way things have been going it just might.
"People have told me I really should consider
painting full time, but a regular paycheck sure is
nice," he said.
In the last year seven of Edwin's works have been
accepted into national art shows. "There will come a
day to leave academia and paint full time, and when
that day comes, I think the choice has already been
made, " Edwin said. "I think my wife knows what
she wants, too."
'Jennifer 8' contains a
good mystery thriller
By JENNY MAGEE
sfot affiliated with ETS or Princeton Univ.
Rcvicivcr of THE BATTALION
"Jennifer 8"
Starring Andy Garcia, Uma
Thurman
Directed by Bruce Robinson
Rated R
Playing at Cinema III
There was suspense, there was
mystery, and there was a lot of
watching the movie peering be
tween two fingers of my hand.
"Jennifer 8," the latest "Silence of
the Lambs"-type thriller to hit the
theatres, scared me. I would not
call it actual fear, but it did pro
duce quickening of the heartbeat,
nervous fidgeting in the chair,
and a sincere desire to find out
whodunnit.
"Jennifer 8," named after a case
file, is built around a serial-killer
who stalks blind women. As in
all good mysteries, Mr. Serial-
killer is unexpectedly discovered
by the detective who disregards
all previous assumptions about
the case and digs deep into the ev
idence. John Berlin (Andy Gar
cia), the brooding San Diego cop
who is obsessed by finding the
killer, serves well for this purpose.
All this added to the helplessness
of the beautiful hunted blind girl
(Uma Thurman), makes for a de
cently interesting plot.
"Jennifer 8" fits the generic for
mula for a mystery-thriller and
does not employ the most original
storyline. I mean, stalking a de
fenseless woman is not exactly a
new addition to the ol' serial-
killer agenda. However, the sto
ryline's lack of creativity was for
givable in light of the fact that it
succeeded in being unpredictable
without being completely off-the-
wall.
What was not forgivable
though, was the "atypical"' cine
matography. I think enough rain
fell during the movie to fill an en
tire swimming pool. Now, tell me
if that did not come out of the
"Ways to be Spooky" handbook.
The worst part, however, was the
structure of the Institution for the
Blind, where most of the intense
action takes place. The thing was
five stories high. Why would a
helpless blind girl be living unat
tended on the fourth floor of a
rickety old building? Just a little
bit too convenient for Mr. Serial-
killer, I'd say.
Now, when I lay that all aside, I
can honestly recommend seeing
"Jennifer 8." Not because it's the
best thriller movie that I've ever
seen, but because it did not insult
my intelligence with predictabili
ty. The ending surprised me, yet
it was not so far out of the reality
spectrum that it would have been
impossible to predict. In fact, I
sort of enjoyed collecting all the
facts along with Berlin. It was
somewhat reminiscent of my days
reading Agatha Christie, Nancy
Drew and the Hardy Boys.
John Malkovich has a small role
in the film, and his performance
caught my attention. Berlin be
comes so involved in the case that
he falls under suspicion himself
and Malkovich is the investigator
who looks into the matter. He has
this aura in his questioning of
Berlin that completely infuriated
me as a viewer who was better in
formed. It was great. I guess I'm
just impressed by actors who take
their minor roles as seriously as
their major ones.
In all honesty, while I was
watching "Jennifer 8," I was not
thinking "Hey, this storyline
could probably be more creative."
Or, "This eerie music probably
came off a Halloween sound ef
fects album." All those feelings
came with reflection. So just w
enjoy "Jennifer 8" for a couple of
hours and let that be the end of it.
