AMATEURS- PROFESSIONALS NON - ARTISTS The Libertyville Arts Club welcomes you and extends an invitation to become a mem­ ber. Our membership consists of professionals and amateurs, as well as non-artists who are interested in supporting the arts in our area through a community Arts Center. The Art Center's home is the beautiful Adler House in Adler Park Originally a pre-Civil War farmhouse, it was redesigned and enlarged in 1916 by architect David Adler and his wife, Katherine, a writer and artist. The rambling, twenty room mansion was their home for the remaining years of their lives. Now owned by the Village of Libertyville, the Center is maintained by the Arts Club. The Arts Club was founded in 1949 by the Herb Ruuds, Fred Penney, and twenty-two others for the purpose of encouraging and aiding local artists. Its scope has broadened to include artists from the entire area and those who are not active in an art field but wish to increase their understanding of the arts. Among the activities sponsored by the Arts Club are live model sketch sessions, open studio days, classes in various media for all ages, exhibits, workshops, demonstrations by established artists, social gatherings, and a monthly newsletter.

Burt Reynolds, Part Rebel, Comes To Peace With Himself House Warming Poor neighbor. He tip-toed in on New Year's Eve with all his paycheck money missing. The lovely lady of the house wondered where it all went. "I bought something for the house," he in­ toned. "What did you buy for the house that costs $130," she won­ dered aloud. "Ten rounds of drinks," was his bold reply. The sweat on Burt Reynolds'brow is real. So is the dirt that has been scratched across his face. His foot­ ball shirt, MEAN MACHINE em­ blazoned across its back in bold red letters, is in keeping with the mus­ cular swagger as he walks across the field, a football firmly in hand. Burt Reynolds is in prison, an unlikely place to find filmdom's bonafide superstar whose path from television actor to Cosmopolitan centerfold boy to big screen dyna­ mo has been a long time coming. "The Longest Yard," which' Reynolds is filming for producer Albert S. Ruddy ("The Godfather") and director Robert Aldrich ("The Dirty Dozen") is a role that strikes right on target with Reynolds' own life. He portrays an ex-pro gridiron hero who gets busted on a grand larceny charge and is thrown behind bars where a sadistic warden wages a brutal game of life and death with him. The climactic football game between prisoners and guards is an ironic parallel to Reynolds' destiny. Between takes on locations at Geor­ gia State Prison, he remembers the days when he was an All-Florida and All-Southern Conference foot­ ball player whose athletic career was squashed after a near-fatal auto­ mobile accident. A long period of depression fol­ lowed the accident while Burt clung to his hope. He quit Florida State College to give himself a chance to re-evaluate his aims. At Palm Junior College an English teacher encour­ aged him to find something else to occupy his time, suggesting partici­ pation in the dramatic program at the school. By 1958 he had won the Florida Drama Award which car­ ried a scholarship to the Hyde Park Playhouse in New York. The roles in television came swiftly, including a lead in the "Riverboat" series. "I quit that because I was being drained," Burt says now. By 1963 he felt he was ready to tackle the continuing role of Quint Asper in "Gunsmoke." "That was one of the best periods of my life," he recalls. After that came "Hawk" and "Dan August," two dynamic series that had to fight bad times- lots and were bounced by bad rat­ ings despite their critical and audi­ ence acceptance. Reynolds had to make the tough transition from television star to movie actor and dazzled the cynics with a blistering performance in "Deliverance." Combined with an intuitive instinct for creating his own image, Reynolds -- tongue in cheek and forearm over groin- popped up as Cosmopolitan's first centerfold. Today Reynolds has the high- power kind of success that had eluded him for years. "I ran from a lot of things in my life," he admits. "It was something inside of me that I can't explain. I know I've been a rebel who ran from anything that lost its significance for me." What particularly sent the blood pressures rising was Reynolds' in­ sistence to always do-his own stunts, as he did fo'r'ilie gridiron sequences for "The Longest Yard." Even on television, where stand-ins were always ready to step in, Reynolds refused to let anyone else take the risks. "Some people have tried to attrib­ ute my wanting to do all my own stunts as a death wish," Reynolds adds. "There's no deep psychologi­ cal reason for me wanting to do them. It's not a death wish at all. I do the stunts because I enjoy doing them." Before "The Longest Yard," Reynolds completed four films in a period of 14 months--"The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing," "White Lightning," "Shamus" and "Fuzz." That's a lot of drawing power. "I like to do movies," he says. "It's easier than television. For a series you have 14 pages of dialogue a day anS endless hours of rehearsal and shooting. Movies are more relaxing. There's less pressure for time." Whatever the pressures o( his work, Reynolds has always managed to take a bemused third person look at himself. Off-camera he lets^the tough image melt, revealing a buoy­ ant wit that has given more than a few highlights to the latenight guest star and guest host chores he has done in the past few years. "I know I could be difficult if I wanted to be," Reynolds analyzes. "It wouldn't solve anything trying to impress someone else about ^how important you think you are.' "I bummed around for a long time not really knowing what I wanted to do or what I needed to do," Reynolds smiles. "There have been many times when I have felt completely clobbered." He shakes his head. "What do you do? Go crawl in a hole? You just have to keep going . . . bsjieving in vourself." Policeman Lew Slade (GEORGE KENNEDY) and Stewart Graff (CHARLTON HESTON) drill their way through a cement wall with a jackhammer to rescue earthquake victims trapped in the basement of a building in Universal's "Earthquake," a large-scale drama with an all-star cast produced and directed by Mark Robson. Written as a screenplay by George Fox and Mario Puzo, the Mark Robson-Filmakers Group produc­ tion was filmed in Technicolor and Panavision, with Jennings Lang as executive producer.
