Review
Elton John Succeeds
BY BUBBA IIOVIS
There were “solid walls of
sound" Sunday night in
Atlanta's Omni as Elton John
took an enthusiastic capacity
crowd on a musical excursion
which lasted for well over two
hours.
The crowd, which had bought
all available tickets two weeks
after they went on sale, con
sisted of freaks, straights,
teeny-boppers, and even a few
mothers. Many were repeaters,
having attended one of the
previous Elton John spectacles.
Others had to see if this English
phenomenon, referred to as the
ultimate showman, was for
real. They’re now believers.
The 26-year-old virtuoso was
hardly unnoticeable, as he
strolled out on stage wearing a
glittering combination of a tank
top and jump suit. His head bore
a giant white plume.
Engulfed in darkness, the
stage filled with smoke and the
wind began howling as Elton
started the show with the
melodramatic “Funeral For a
Friend," followed by its sequel,
“Love Lies Bleeding."
Camera Contest
Minolta camera company has announced a photography
competition for college students. Top prize in the contest
is a European vacation, a cash award, and two Minolta
cameras.
Entries may be in either black and white or color, and
there are eight different categories in the contest.
Entry forms may be obtained from Minolta’s ad
vertising department at 101 Williams Drive, Ramsey,
N.J., 07446. Entries must be postmarked by Jan. 20, 1975,
and received by Jan. 30.
Movie Review
“Pelham”...With A Bang
BY CHUCK CARTER
In "The Taking of Pelham
One Two Three," we see the
mayor of New York coming
down with the flu. He
“But the biggest kick 1 ever
got
Was doin’ a thing
Called the crocodile rock. . .”
I have never
seen a performer enjoy en
tertaining people so much.
Though he had given concerts
the two previous nights in
Greensboro and Knoxville, he
performed as though he would
never give another concert
again.
The band, consisting of Davey
Johnston on acoustic guitar,
Dee Murray on bass, Nigel
Olsson on drums, Ray Cooper
doing percussion, and the
Muscle Shoals Horns, per
formed as admirably as the
balding superstar himself. A
great deal of credit must also go
to the person responsible for the
brilliant lyrics, Bernie Taupin.
Highlights of the 20 songs
performed were “Burn Down
the Mission”, “Goodbye Yellow
Brick Road", “Don’t Let the
Sun Go Down on Me",
“Daniel", and “Rocket Man”.
Between songs he bounced
around the stage, shaking hands
with the audience and really
giving them their money’s
worth.
It was ironical that during his
second encore he sang “Your
Song”, concluding with these
words:
“I know it’s not much,
But it’s the best I can do.
My gift is my song
And this one’s for you. . .”
As the time approached
midnight, thousands of people
filed out of the arena, certain
that they will never see another
show like it again. And they
probably won’t, at least not
until he returns again next year.

desperately wants some peace
and quiet so he can recover, but
not a chance. An aide rushes to
the mayor’s bedside and in
forms “your honor” about the
most bizarre thing ever to hit
the city. Four men with
automatic weapons have
hijacked a subway car and are
holding it, along with seventeen
passengers, plus a conductor,
for $1 million ransom. The city
has exactly one hour to cough
up the dough. For every minute
past the hijacker’s deadline,
one passenger will be shot.
This is a helluva situation for
everyone involved. With time
becoming shorter and shorter,
the mayor reluctantly agrees
with his aide that the ransom
should be paid, so they borrow
the money from the Federal
Reserve Bank. The humorous
dialogue in these brief satirical
moments on political life gives
the film some of its best
moments.
Robert Shaw and Martin
Balsam play the leading
hijackers. Both give good
performances although most in
the audience will feel more
affection for Balsam. You see,
there’s a lot of pressure on a
person who’s just hijacked a
subway car and Balsam almost
buckles under it.
Walter Matthew portrays a
lieutenant in the Transit Police
who has the task of capturing
the four hijackers and getting
every passenger back safe and
sound. Matthau gives a carbon
copy performance of the one he
gave us a year or so ago in “The
Laughing Policeman," but in
this film, Xerox doesn’t hurt,
but helps.
Based on John Godey’s best
selling novel, “Pelham" comes
to the screen with a bang. The
often zany dialogue and the
cleverly engineered plot makes
watching the film a nice way to
spend an evening. The ending
alone is worth the price of ad
mission.
The film is playing in several
Atlanta theatres. And, if by
chance you are mugged coming
from the theatre, I only hope
your assailants are as well
mannered as the four hijackers
you have just seen on screen.
