ROCKY (SYLVESTER STALLONE) is playfully
punched by the world champion, Apollo Creed (CARL
WEATHERS), who announces that he will give the
unknown Rocky a match for the world championship,
in “Rocky,” a United Artists release.
“Rocky” from United Artists is a very entertaining old-fashioned fight picture.
All the ingredients in this prizefight story are familiar, but the way they are put
together makes the film uncommonly good. Rocky Balboa is a club fighter who is
strong and tough enough but lacks the finesse to make it into the big-time. To make
money between bouts at the club, he works as a “leg-breaker,” a debt collector for a
loan shark. The best thing that has ever happened to him is a romance with the
introverted sister of his best friend. And then Rocky is given a shot at the
heavyweight title because none of the ranking contenders are available, and the
champ, an Ali-like showman, picks him simply on the promotion value of his
nickman - the Italian Stallion.

Peachtree Street, Atlanta

entitled to a $1 discount on
any price ticket.
These appearances will
mark the Limon Company’s
second visit to Atlanta. Their
first appearance here, in
December 1973, inaugurated
the Dance Atlanta program, a
joint project of the Atlanta
Arts Alliance and Georgia
State University which was
established to bring major
dance companies to Atlanta
on a non-profit basis. Dance
Atlanta has received funding
assistance from the Georgia
Council for the Arts and the
National Endowment for the
Arts.
Jose Limon, a Mexican by
birth, danced with the Doris
Humphrey-Charles Weidman
Company from 1930-1940.
Following a stint in the army
during World War II, Limon
established his own company
with Doris Humphrey as
artistic director and
choreographer, an association
which continued until
Humphrey’s death. The
Limon Company was the first
dance company to be sent
abroad by the U.S.
Department of State. Since
its first tour of South
America in 1954, it has
made numerous international
tours under State Department
sponsorship.
Under the leadership of
Ruth Currier, who became
artistic director after Limon’s
death in 1972, the company
has maintained the extensive
Limon repertoire and has
reconstructed several
Humphrey works which
had not been performed in
recent years.
THE ATLANTA
CHAMBER PLAYERS will
perform a concert of both
traditional and contemporary
music February 7 at Agnes
Scott College. The free,
public concert is at 8:15 p.m.
in Presser Hall.
The professional ensemble
will perform the
contemporary music
“Amores” by John Cage and
“Quartet for the End of
Time” by Olivier Messiaen.
“Amores” is written for
prepared piano and three
percussion players who
perform on nine graduated
tom-toms, seven graduated
wood blocks, pod rattles and
other percussion instruments.
The Atlanta Chamber
Players include flutist Melanie
Cramer, clarientist Robert
Brown, violinist Lorentz
Ottzen, violist Marian Kent,
cellist Larry LeMaster, pianist
Paula Peace and percussionist
Scott Douglas. All the
members have backgrounds in
chamber and orchestral
music, and the string players
are members of the Atlanta
Symphony Orchestra. The
ensemble is in residence at
Agnes Scott College, a liberal
arts college for women.
In addition to performing
another concert at Agnes
Scott May 9, the Atlanta
Chamber Players will perform
at Morehouse College in
March and at DeKalb
Community College in April.
The movie’s championship
fight is supposed to be
boxing’s contribution to the
bicentennial celebration by
giving a chance to a local
unknown Philadelphia fighter
in the spirit that made this
country great and also in the
hope of making the
promoters a great deal of
money. The situation sets up
a classic underdog theme
which is developed to the
fullest in winning audience
sympathy. Rocky goes all out
in training for the fight, going
to the bizarre length of using
sides of beef as punching
bags. The climax of the film
is the championship match,
and it is as convincing as any
ever filmed, although the
pace of the ring’s action is
impossible for the
heavyweight division.
The story, however, is less
important than the character.
Rocky is a nobody and has
nothing except his lower-class
neighborhood. Although
“Rocky” does not have the
same density of
environmental detail as found
in Scorsese’s films, director
John Avildsen concentrates
on the gritty, back-street
quality of life in the old
neighborhood. Rocky, his
hopes exhausted, is already
on the way down when we
first meet him, and the film is
the story of his rebirth as a
person. Even when he gets
the title shot, he doesn’t
believe he can win; all he
wants to do is last the limit
with the champ to prove that
he is not “just another bum
from the neighborhood.”
Win or lose, fortune has
given Rocky another chance
at life. He is no longer
another loser, and he has
found another with whom he
can share his future. The love

film is all the more touching
and appealing because it
counterbalances the phyiscal
machismo nature of the ring.
The relationship that grows
between Rocky and Adrian is
human and believable in its
tentative and often comic
beginnings which deepen
hesitantly into love.
Avildsen has given a
properly hard-edged reality to
Stallone’s old-fashioned,
melodramatic script with an
energy that always keeps the
narrative moving. The acting
is uniformly good, but
Stallone interprets his own
inarticulate, limited character
extraordinarily well. The
fight scenes are quite bloody
and will offend many,
especially those who detest
prizefighting as a primitive
blood sport.
However, the film is
mainly a celebration of
ordinary people, and the
values and codes by which
they live their lives. It makes
a pleasant and rewarding
change from all the mindless,
dehumanizing “entertain
ments” that celebrate nothing
but sex and violence.
THE JOSE LIMON
DANCE COMPANY will be
in residence in Atlanta on
February 10, 11, and 12
under the sponsorship of
Dance Atlanta. The company
will perform on Saturday,
February 12 at 8 p.m. in
Symphony Hall, Atlanta
Memorial Arts Center. Dance
classes in Limon technique
are planned for February 10
and 11.
The program for the
February 12 concert in
Symphony Hall will include
Limon’s most famous piece,
“The Moor’s Pavane,” which
was created in 1949 and is
based loosely on the
jealousies and tensions of the
OTHELLO story. None of
the works scheduled for the
February 12 concert has been
seen before in Atlanta.
Tickets for the
performances are $4, $5, and
$6 and are on sale at the
