A Positive Approach To TV
s a- >
BY HENRY HERX
NEW YORK (NC) - The United
States has traditionally been a place of
refuge for those fleeing political or
religious persecution in their native
lands. Looking at what this tradition
offers today’s refugees is the
documentary, “Against Wind and
Tide: A Cuban Odyssey,” airing
Wednesday, May 27, 8*9 p.m. on PBS.
The program starts with the
boatlift of April 1980, when Castro
declared that those who didn’t like the
“new” Cuba should get out. And they
did, in the tens of thousands, ferried
from Mariel Harbor to Key West by a
flotilla of American boats. Carter at
first encouraged them but then, as the
influx kept growing through the
summer, tried to stop the boats by
impounding them. But still they kept
coming until Castro finally closed the
port of Mariel in September.
By that time 126,000 people had
left communist Cuba for capitalist
America. This dramatic
demonstration in favor of democracy
was seriously marred by confusions,
miscalculations and
misunderstandings on all sides. This
documentary record of these events is
invaluable in showing how things went
wrong and why.
The makers of this film -* Suzanne
Bauman, A. Paul Neshamkin and Jim
Burroughs -- were in Key West when
the boatlift began and they filmed its
course from Mariel, across the Florida
straights, through the refugee camps,
the various phases of processing and,
for most, eventual resettlement.
Focusing on a few individuals, the film
allows us to share in their early hopes
and expectations of life in a free
country and then the let-down and
disillusionment caused by bewildering
delays.
Refugees without American
relatives to receive them seemed to be
regarded by officials as if they were
the “scum of society” that Castro
claimed them to be. The film shows
that trouble arose in the camps
because processing facilities were
inadequate for the numbers involved
and cannot simply be blamed on
“criminal elements.” The fact that
most of the unprocessed refugees were
black may have contributed to the
hostility of those living near the
camps, one of whom tells the
filmmakers, “We should have just
gunned them down.”
In a time of economic scarcity,
American public opinion seems to be
hardening against making room for
new waves of the oppressed. The issue
must be faced and resolved soon, the
film concludes, because political
turmoil in the Caribbean and
elsewhere means that “the boats will
keep coming.”
“The Spellbound Child,”
PBS, May 25
A young boy’s tantrum dissolves
into a fantasy world that at first
threatens, then beguiles but
ultimately reconciles him to reality in
George Balanchine’s ballet-opera,
“The Spellbound Child,” airing
Monday, May 25,8-9 p.m. on PBS.
With music by Maurice Ravel and
text by Colette, the work was first
conceived and choreographed by
Balanchine in 1925. Not satisfied that
any of its various stage productions
had ever fully realized the fantasy
potential in the ballet, he has
collaborated with Kermit Love in
refashioning it especially for
television.
The production is indeed ornate
and fanciful, the costuming rich and
colorful, and the special effects create
a child’s world of imagination
impossible for the stage to achieve.
Love, best known as the creator of
“Sesame Street’s” Big Bird, has
contributed greatly to the magic of
the piece through his lively puppetry
and other kinds of animated artifice.
Performed by members of the New
York City Ballet Orchestra, the
production is a painless introduction
to the world of opera and ballet for
the younger members of the family
and a delight for any one still young
enough to remember the wonderment
of fairy tales.
“The Artist Was A Woman”
PBS-May 25
If great women artists like Kaethe
Kollwitz and Georgia O’Keeffe are
taken for granted today, it is logical to
ask why there were none in preceding
centuries. Providing the answer is
“The Artist Was a Woman,” a
documentary airing Monday, May 25,
9-10 p.m. on PBS.
Renaissance Italy was the first to
give recognition to women artists and
their work is to be seen, for instance,
in every church in Bologna. The
17th-century French paintings of
Judith Leyster, for another instance,
were until recently attributed to the
Dutch master, Frans Hals.
The reason little recognition was
given to the accomplishments of
the world, from distinct regions
and cultures,” the document
said. “These will be named by
the supreme pontiff and will
convene in plenary assembly at
least once a year.”
The new structures are
expected to add considerably to
the influence and capabilities of
the Committee for the Family. A
Vatican source recently
described the committee as
“little more than a holding
operation” because of its small
staff.
Even so, it was a major
contributor to the preparation
for the 1980 world Synod of
Bishops’ meeting on marriage
the country, remembered the pope at
Masses soon after the shooting. Bishop
Brunini reported numerous phone
calls from other religious leaders, and
the Methodist bishop for the. area
issued a call for special prayers for the
pope.
More than 500 people, including
the Episcopal bishop of Vermopt,
attended a Mass celebrated by Bishop
John A. Marshall of Burlington, Vt.,
and the bishop told 100 parishes to
offer special prayers.
At the noon Mass in St. John’s
Cathedral, Boise, Idaho, the
congregation increased about five
times over the norm to almost 300
people after the papal shooting. The
dean of the area’s Episcopal cathedral
used his usual communion service as
an opportunity to pray for Pope John
Paul, Father William Crowley,
diocesan chancellor, said. He added
that two passersby came into the
chancery - which once was a church --
after the shooting. One was a young
man who just wanted to pray or think
quietly for a few minutes, Father
Crowley said.
Chicago’s Cardinal John Cody was
ordaining 16 priests when he heard the
pope had been shot. “We have
forgotten the teachings of Jesus - love
and charity,” the cardinal said.
Chicago’s Polish-Ameriean Five
Holy Martyrs’ Church, which the pope
visited in 1979, offered a Mass for the
pope. Polish-Ameriean neighborhoods
grew quiet as people headed for
Masses or home.
Cautioning against revenge,
Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York
addressed more than 2,500
worshippers at a late afternoon Mass
May 13. “We pray not with vengeance
or with a thrist for retribution for
those who tried to take his life, but
that all those who put their hands to
Artemisia Gentileschi, Elizabeth
Lebrun, Angelica Kauffmann and the
many others represented in this
program is that art history was written
by men who found it difficult to take
Women artists seriously. Moreover,
women were discouraged from
devoting themselves to a career in art
and the wonder is that so many were
able to do so much so well.
The narration, read by Jane
Alexander, consists of letters and
diaries written by the women artists
and comments on their work by their
contemporaries. There are also
interviews with women art historians
and with feminist Germaine Greer,
who has recently written a book on
the subject called “The Obstacle
Race.”
The proof of the program’s thesis is
in the artwork itself and this is
displayed to fine advantage by
director Suzanne Bauman who has
placed each individual’s paintings in
the context of where she lived and
worked. The result opens new ground
in social as well as art history that is of
more than academic interest.

TV FILM FARE
Sunday, May 24, 8 p.m. (CBS) --
“Silver Streak” (1976) - Gene Wilder
and Jill Clayburgh battle a ruthless
gang of killers aboard a
transcontinental train, aided by
Richard Pryor, whose comic talents
give the film a much-needed lift when
he appears halfway through.
Moderately entertaining, but some
ill-advised obscenities and a rather
crude love scene make it adult fare.
A-III - morally unobjectionable for
adults; PG -- parental guidance
suggested.
Tuesday, May 26, 8 p.m. (CBS) -
“Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown”
(1977) - This is a full-length cartoon
feature based upon the Charles M.
Schulz’s “Peanuts” characters which
tells of the adventures and perils that
Charlie Brown and his friends
encounter while spending the summer
at a wilderness camp in the West.
Though little of the subtle Schultz
spirit is present, it might be passable
entertainment for young children. A-I
- morally unobjectionable for all; G -
general patronage.
Thursday, May 28, 9 p.m. (NBC) -
“Almost Summer” (1978) - A dull
and sophomoric romantic comedy
about a class election at a southern
California high school, which presents
in uncritical fashion a suffocatingly
materialistic and amoral environment,
has offensive jokes at the expense of
the disabled, and also throws in a bit
of nudity. B - morally objectionable
in part; PG - parental guidance
suggested.

Committee For Family Upgraded —
The document did not spell
out the number of other staff
officials on the new council, but
said that a “fitting number”
would be named presumably
more than double the
committee’s staff of four.

officials, and the Pontifical

lists 11. These are the two
Vatican offices whose structure
is most comparable to to that of

Outpouring Of Prayers For John
BY NC NEWSSERVICE
In the aftermath of the attempted
assassination of Pope John Paul II
American Catholics in dooceses across
the country attended special Masses
and said prayers for the pope’s
recovery.
They were often accompanied in
spirit, if not in presence, by their
Protestant and Jewish brethem.
In Miami religious leaders from
various faiths joined Archbishop
Edward A. McCarthy and
archdiocesan priests in an ecumenical
prayer service at St. Mary’s Cathedral.
The rabbinical association issued a
statement expressing “deep shock”
and announced that Jewish
congregations were praying that “this
warm and gentle man whose love and
concern for all of the Lord’s children
has made an indelible mark upon (a)
world in desperate need of these
qualities, will be blessed with a speedy
and full recovery so that he may soon
be returned to the vital and
responsible duties of his high office.”
Miami’s Protestant denominations,
speaking through the Fellowship of
Churches, commented that “we join
with all Christians and others of good
will to express our shock and sadness.
We prayfor (the pope’s) rapid recovery
and that the spirit of Christ may bring
healing to our violent world.”
