What I'm talking about is the increasing element at audience participation lately, at certain at our artistic events. Now, it's common knowledge that all Worthwhile aesthetic exa periences are twoway proposi- tions. that the mind responds in an indlvtdual and creative way to or tistic terms that manage to cap» ture the imagination, What's less This Year Is Your Only Chance To Buy A '66 CYCLONE Sold in Lunch Lines Saturday 57.00 irequentiy recognized, however, is the value ot mass aesthetic re. sponse by an entire audience. when common grounds or excited appreciation are openly and wide— ly shared trom one member to the next. Audiences have been doing this sort oi thing since the earliest beginnings o1 comic and tragic drama, tor instance, and direct audience participation during the aesthetic act can accelerate lead- ing tensions with a remarkable efa iectiveness.

Grinnell students actually take the filmrlnstallments serious ly. because, th e i r “parasitic minds" are evidently incapable or any moreampitious undertakings. Another view, will an obviously more lenient streak, simply recog- nizes a legitimate nostalgic rever- ence tor the ongins ol the Ameri- can “super" hero and openly ad— mm the sentimentality of such an attitude. Moreover, the Iilm is 50 dated in bath technique and detail that the quaintly romantic speu ot a younger, more innocent en be comes altogether irresistible.
