And absolutely in tunc vocally and physically. He gives us Serpico's worries, his woes and his wonderful if infrequently deployed sense of ridiculous pleasure. There are half a dozen strong supporting performances as well: John Randolph, Biff McGuire, Barbara Eda Young, Cornelia Sharpe, Tony Roberts, Lewis J.Stadlen. But the film is Serpico's. Serpico as much as it gains tlif! city.

He's threatened, for exposing the widespread bribery within the department, by his own compatriots. And lie's shut in a rani. When help was at hand In the end, he clutches Ins honesty to hi in and quits the department. His revelations were responsible for organizing the Knapp Commission which shook up NYPD thoroughly. MEN OF VISION adapted Peter Mass' book to the screen.

The Waldo Salt-Norman Wexler screenplay finds words of quiet, abso lutely resolved anger tor some scenes and others of something very like Jubilance for softer moments. Sidney Linnet's direction is a square-lo-the-front blend of very direct, very cohesive-observation and electric new-cinema technique for plot compression Hut most of (he film strength proceeds from good a film performance as I've seen in a long, long time: Al Pacino as Serpico. Here as Pacino shows him (o us is no ordinary man, yet every thing he does is so ordinary in tone. Absolutely without performance. I.ook like the World Chump lie was.

At least he's proud in the beginning. But the conniving and malingering and bribe-taking he sues in his fellow cops works on him. Slowly. No dramatic swings of position. No role playing.

No grandstand taking. Confusion. Disillusion. Action. Ennui.

Resolve. Hesitation. A human, humanhlend. He approaches his superiors and one by one finds them as lax of duty as his peers. Finally, desperately, he takes his information to the New York Times.

A step outside channels that costs Holiday The point Is the glamour. Right? Glitter. Dazzle. Spectacle. With a smidgin of very broad, very innocent comedy.

That's the point of an ice show. Right? Okay Holiday on Ice, which will play here through Sunday, has all that. More, if memory serves, than the similar edition which played Cincinnati a year or so ago. And so seems in spite of some opening night (Tuesday) skitters that marred a couple of acts. Greg Taylor and Kathy Normilc's first duet included a couple of near miss drops.

Veteran ice comic Paul Andre even fell on his normally rouscr exit. But, there's still the star-dust. The young ladies of the ensemble don't skate as an ensemble any better than last year's bevy. But, they're pretty and the costumes are plenty spark-ly. Oddly, enough, they seemed to skate best when most encumbered In eight-foot ape costumes.

Art will sell tickets. The picture is doing landoffice business around the country and justifiably so. "Serpico" also proves that films which deny myth and accentuate hard, cold, grit and grime reality will sell tickets. For it is neither pretty, nor romantic, nor hyped into some movieland version of cops and robbers. It details in far better fashion than I can attempt in this space a bit over II years in the life of an utterly honest cop.

A real cop. Frank Serpico. In way suggested but not really plumbed by Joseph Wambaugh's "The New Centurions," "Serpico" gets into the day-to-day-ness of Serpico's life as a New York plainclothesman. For all that it deals plainly with violence and blessedly, there's not even a whiif of Dirty Harry to it there is a quietness and. surge of strength to the film that bears far more resemblance to life than to movies.

For 1 1 years Serpico works grants given was over In the category of grants to composers for the creation of new works, $1500 was awarded to John Bauer of Cincinnati to compose a chamber work for chorus and orchestra and a work for wind ensemble.
