...better year for Harvard filmmakers. Frank Mouris '74, a former VES lecturer, won the Oscar for best animated short subject with his autobiographical "Frank Film," made at Carpenter Center. W. Donald Brown '74 showed his full-length "Counterpoint" to packed houses at the Science Center in March, and brought out "Robin Hood" in May. Brown's promotion and financing methods suggested an entrepreneurial skill rather rare among Harvard filmmakers--most of whom content themselves with making short films which few people see--but his movies didn't live up to the expectations he aroused...
...Fairbanks Sr. in 1920 at the peak of her career, they reigned at "Pickfair" for ten idyllic years, entertaining foreign royals. But behind the simper, Mary, who went into show business at the age of four, possessed the brain of a Harvard Business School graduate. In Sweetheart, the first full-length biography of Pickford, published this week, Author Robert Windeler tots up Mary's present fortune to more than $50 million, the result of astute salary bargaining and real estate investments. At 81, Mary has a long memory about money. She got really mad at Old Friend and Rival...
John Osborne's Look Back in Anger triggered Stoppard's desire to write plays-as it did many another English no-school-tie boy.

In view of the gentle, unassuming nature of Tom Stoppard's personality, fame is a word...
...Duplex is by Ed Bullins, once minister of culture for the Black Panther Party, and it's part of a projected series of 20 full-length plays about black people in America. Bullins modestly calls it the "Twentieth Century Cycle." Among his other accomplishments are an Obie award and, for his first novel, possibly the worst review ever to appear in The Crimson. Tonight through Saturday, 7:30 at the Loeb...
...Jungle of Cities is 369's first full-length professional production. A new theater unaffiliated with a university is a welcome addition to the Cambridge-Somerville area, but this first production is disappointing. With the boxing set and an emphasis on caricature, company director Van McLeod seems to be trying unnecessarily for the oblique angle in an already oblique Brecht play. A few of the supporting characters present fascinating facades, especially Virginia O. Casey as the whorish girl friend of George Garga the librarian (and "wrestler") and Bruce Patt as a stoop-kneed, brutish Weimar version of Skinny, a Chinese...
