Although | felt somewhat self conscious | soon realized that no one in ther right mind would be watching me and so I stood quite stl until the dancer moved rhythmically to another part oft the restaurant At this point a young lady hurned up to me and politely offered me a seat at the only available table remaining in Chuckles and shocks on From Page A17 who hasn't seen it, there's many a ghostly chuckle as comedians Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd torm a psychic swal team. Back in the funnyman limelight 1s Eddie Murphy with his new movie Beverty Hills Cop. This is the film that Murphy is counting on to put him back on top It's made for him, with lots ot ac- tion, his action ~ as a straight man, and as a street- wise, wise-cracking cop.

Hasain is playing at the Capitol 6 This 1s also the year that Hollywood is trying to make crime pay. Gangsters are hot stuff as The Cotton Club plays host to such notortous names as Dutch Schultz, the madman killer that made his fortune as a bootlegger Cot ton Club is really a song and dance film with a few killings thrown in between acts It’s worth a look for the in credibly colortul choreography and soultul- sounding jazz There's a lot of leggy chorus girls here, but httle to dance about in the ac- ting department.

Apparently the Cazba is the only restaurant in Vancouver to serve this tor whites, but never the same place. Bigotry and racism can twist all men who allow it, ts the message here. A Soldier's Story 1s playing at the Royal Cineplex Centre.
