Northwestern photos by Carl Plotz Oshkosh goes Hollywood at 'Exit Dying' premiere By KATHY GREATHOUSE Northwestern Staff Writer On Saturday night Oshkosh was the small town where dreams caw coriie true. Oshkosh Hollywood never left home.

After months of hard and challenging work, the "world premiere" Dying" wars held here at the old Grand Theater. Tickets were at a premi- um. Select theater goers, the decked out in for- mal dress, waited anxiously in the cold, rainy mist to see the final product of this combined University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and community production. Despite the weather, it fun. if one used i a i a i For a Few "hours.

Monument Square became the entertainment capital of the world- Prior to the first performance, the "stars" and staff of the show, most of them connected with the university, arrived in limousines and hearses- Barbara Shapiro Waving and smiling, they made their way through an applauding crowd, huddled under the foggy glare of the marquee lights. Once inside, seats were strictly first come, first serve. Even the balcony was filled. Between shows, people crowded into the dimly-lit upstairs and downstairs of Mr: Restaurant for a formal reception. Bob Jacobs, i Dying." was right when he told his audiences.

"This is- your movie." Overall, the movie is a tribute to the community creativity of Oshkosh. This reviewer saw the 10:30 p.m. show. Despite four or five scratchy starts, the audience remained enthusiastic. As one might suspect, the story revolves around the Grand Theater its mysterious past and its uncertain future.

Lead Henry Darrow. the only professional actor in the production, plays Monty, a Las Vegas businessman who wants to renovate the theatre into a money-making disco- bar concert hall. On the other end of the spectrum is Linda, played by Barbara Shapiro. She and her theater group are worried that Monty is going to remodel the theater into a "plastic rock palace." But Monty wins both their confidence and help. Comical highlights were provided by Mark Bunker, as Harold- a bumbling adolescent; Bob Heise.

as a loveable derelict: and Dewey Moore, as coroner. Of someone has to throw a wrench into the plan and the- someones are Cnlle Nick, as the small-town sheriff, and Patrick Walsh, the evil a of "Black Earth." After months of publicity. Oshkosh finally learned what this "evil" was all about. It seems the mayor and several other people in the town get off on the occult. High Priest Walsh had been using the spooky old theater for coven meetings.

Over-all, the film seemed to.be well-edited, but the sound trails off. The best frames, the most realistic shots, are at the close of the movie, when Monty intrudes on a occult ritual in the basement and a fire.breaks out. Truthfully, this film would be labeled a movie by the industry- But it is really a kick to see your hometown up there on the screen doing it. While the audience sat glued to the screen, Monty and Linda explored the private life of the Grand Theater, which most of Oshkosh has probably never seen. Aside from the first time and educational aspects of the film, this film also provided the a i with a unique experience.

i i strange about watching a movie from a balcony seat, while the actors do a love scene from that same section. Or explore the basement sanctums immediately below the theater audience. The Grand Theater was a wonderful place to make a movie. It was gratifying to see it alive again with community spirit. At the close of the movie, Jacobs called everyone up on stage for bows.

Darrow himself thanked both co-workers and the audience for making all possible. With all the talk today about putting "grassroots" back into "the arts." it seems appropo to say. that "Exit Dying" and Company- have "just pioneered a new theater frontier. it be nice if someone took the movie's subtle message to heart and the Grand Theater saw a new frontier? (According to producer Bob Jacobs, the film is expected to be aired on national network TV this spring.)

County cemetery neglected Located just east of the Sunny View Grass and weeds grow tall in-the cemetery, the entrance gates stand ajar and the entrance road is little used.

complex on county owned land one-half mile north of Winnebago County institutions, this county cemetery contains about 500 graves. Northwestern photo Cemetery topic of concern Sup. Arthur Ales, Menasha, has expressed concern for a neglected county cemetery near the Sunny View complex and the buildings and grounds committee will look into the matter at its meeting Tuesday- Ales told the County Board that attention 1 should be given to cleaning up and maintaining the cemetery. Orrin King, county executive, said that he estimated the cost would be only a few hundred dollars and that money- wo.uld be available. About 500 persons are buried in the cemetery, persons without relatives or funds, who had lived at the former county hospital and Pleasant Acres.

Burials were mostly before 1917, indicated King- Only seven burials in the county plot were made between 1917 and 1958. The markers on the graves carry a number, with county institution records showing the name of the person and date of burial. In 1965 permission was granted to institution officials to lay the gravestone markers flat, so that grass mowing would be easier. The is unmarked, but has enclosed iron grill gates mounted on concerete block posts. Vandals have visited the cemetery and unauthorized vehicles roam the cemetery plot at Ales said.

Unnumbered graves All the graves in a a short distance north of the county institutions are unnumbered. This is a cemetery for former residents of the county hospital or Pleasant Acres who died prior to 1958. Since About 1958, through agreement with funeral homes, other burial arrangements have been made. Institution officials have the names of the 500 persons buried in the cemetery on record.
