Panther' Makes Hilarious Return
Sellers' Inspector Clouseou Bumbles Again
By BOB DARDEN
Special Writer
"The Pink Panther Strikes Again" is
showing at the ABC Cinema in Denton
Center through Feb. 17.The film Is
directed by Blake Edwards.
Ahh...tis the year of the sequel. Se-
quels are planned or are already showing
for such various and sundry works as
"Jaws," "King Kong," and "Rocky."
Likewise, current shows like "The En-
forcer" and "The Pink Panther Strikes
Again" are themselves sequels to se-
quels. (The only thing that bothers me
about this trend is the report out of Hol-
lywood that someone was thinking of
doing a sequel to "The Greatest Story
Every Told"! "Chapter 20—The Billy
Graham Years"...! can see it now.)
Artist Discusses Work
On Machine Sculpture
By CAROLYN CLARK, Daily Reporter
New Mexico artist Luis Jimenez said Monday that the theme of most of
his works is man's preoccupation with machines.
Jimenez, here for the start of a three week exhibition of his works in the
Art Building, told a group of students and faculty, "I hate machines, or the
pedestal that most Americans put machines on, but the irony of it is that I
have a facility for working with them."
The exhibition consists of varied sculptures and drawings done by the
artist since the late 1960's. "I know that exhibitions are supposed to be of
one theme but I've never been very consistent," Jimenez said.
Jimenez' sculptures combine plastics and electrical lights. Most of the
pieces are over 5 feet tall. "I want my work to be visible and available.
That's the reason for going to the larger pieces and it's also one of the
reasons for the five editions," he said. He regularly plans five editions or
variations of each work.
His involvement in his father's neon sign business exposed him to the
materials that he uses in his sculptures today. He said that it was natural for
him to adopt neon sign material as the material for his sculptures.
Jimenez said one of the most important steps in the process is a
preliminary drawing.
After sculpting a clay model, he forms a fiberglass mold. When the mold
is removed from the object, he sands the seams and applies an aircraft
epoxy. Jimemez said that a large and complicated piece like his "Progress
I" can take as many as two years to complete.
"Progress I" is a 8'8" sculpture depicting a buffalo, a jackrabbit, a horse,
a snake and other animals in a heap with an indian lying across the top of
the mound of flesh. This sculpture is not unique in its subjects. Indians,
cowboys and horses appear in over half of his works.
"I've tried to use images that were important to me, having grown up in
the Southwest," Jimenez said.
Exhibition Honors Writers
Actually, "The Pink Panther Strikes
Again" is the exploits of Inspector
Clouseau on the fourth go around.
While it doesn't cover any particularly
new ground that the previous Peter Sel-
lers comedies haven't already covered
("The Pink Panther," "A Shot in the
Dark" and "The Return of the Pink
Panther"), it still stands as an amusing
film in its own right.
The Pink Panthers of the titles are ac-
tually catchphrases for the whole series.
The cool feline by the same name that
pops up between so many drive-in dou-
ble features as an animated cartoon ap-
pears only in the
opening and clos-
ing credits. But
typical of a Sellers
movie, even the
credits are a spoof
of other flicks with
the Pink Panther
theme (by Henry
Mancini, natch)
serving as a backdrop for take-offs on
other movie themes. Superbly done.
As for the movie itself, well, Sellers
continues to be howlingly funny as a
hopelessly bumbling and inept inspector
of the Paris police force. Only now,
through his efforts in the previous films,
he's been promoted to chief of the entire
district, at the expense of his old enemy,
twitchily played by Herbert Lom. Lorn
has been reduced to a sniveling wreck by
the aloof antics of Sellers. He is about to
be released from the insane asylum when
Mou/e
Review
Sellers makes a visit to the institution.
Lom is driven batty once again and es-
capes to form the world's greatest
criminal organization with the single in-
tent of doing away with Inspector
Clouseau.
He kidnaps the world's smartest scien-
tist and makes him build a machine
capable of destroying an entire city. His
price is the life of Clouseau. Naturally,
all of the countries of the world send as-
sassins to do in the eagle-beaked detec-
tive at the famous Oktoberfest, in one of
the film's funniest sequences.
If the basis for the movie is a little far-
fetched, then the marvelous
characterization of Sellers as the inspec-
tor carries the film right over any plot
contrivances. Sellers seems to be at his
best in foreign character roles (the
bumbling Spaniard in "The Bobo" and
the incomprehensively inscrutible detec-
tive in "Murder By Death").
For those who have seen the previous
Pink Panther films, several old favorites
return. Always a treat, the manic
houseboy is back once again, keeping
the inspector's household hopping. Lom
as Dreyfus has grown to an a comic-evil
character of mammoth proportions.
But for newcomers to the Panther's
long list of fans, "The Pink Panther
Strikes Again" is completely self-
contained. True, some of the prat-
falls seem a bit forced, and perhaps
"Strikes Again" is merely a rehash of
old material...but it never claimed to be
anything more than a silly comedy.

and art works of the Humanities
Research Center constitutes one of the
world's most significant libraries for
research in the humanities, authorities
say.
The exhibition honors writers such as
William Cullen Bryant, Edgar Allen
Poe, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Harriet Beecher Stowe and Mark Twain.
Sixteen writers are represented by
original works and facsimiles of
manuscripts of rare editions of
published works.
ART WORKS include a bronze bust
of Whitman by A Bianchini and two
rare oil paintings of Bryant and Longfel-
low by Daniel Huntington.
A two-panel standing screen features
engravings, paintings and writings on
both sides with portraits of Poe and
Twain being the focal points.
The exhibit has two standing floor
cases which display engravings and
works of the authors of the century.
Some of the manuscripts by the authors
are in their original form, while others
have been copied. A selection of original
illustrations of the authors as well as il-
lustrations to complement the
manuscripts accompany the exhibit.
THE EXHIBIT also displays engrav-
ings of Stowe, James Fenimore Cooper,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Nathaniel
Hawthorne and Washington Irving. An
engraving of George Washington is in-
cluded in the exhibit.
One of the main attractions in the ex-
hibit is Slowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
and "Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin."
"Eva's Foreboding," a color lithograph
by Stannard & Dixon, accompanies the
manuscript of "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Various etchings, drawings and
paintings of 19th century life are dis-
played. "Rural Churchyard," a water-
color by Henry Sandman and "Around
the Campfire" a charcoal drawing by
Worth Brehrn are two of the works ex-
hibited.
The exhibit is complete with various
poems such as, "The Courtship of Miles
Standish and Other Poems." Other
poems include "Tamerland and Other
Poems" and "Bolts of Melody."
"After ordering that 'someone' the
carnation you choose, her name will be
immediately placed on a giant heart,
which will be beside the booth," Miss
Kneeland said Tuesday. "That certain
someone need not know where the car-
nation is coming from until Valentine's
Day (Monday) when we deliver. Or the
customer may pick up and deliver the
corsage himself."
Fveryone is invited to share in this
Valentine special, Miss Kneeland said.
The corsages cost $2 and Delta Sigma
Theta will deliver to any dorm or the
College Inn. Purchasers may pick up
their corsages Monday from 2 to 4 p.m.
