ELECTION 2004 Thursday, October 28, 2004 C O M P IL E D FROM T H E OBSERVER'S WIRE SERVICES page 9 C a m p a ig n N e w s Candidates attempt to sway voters Both parties capitalize as early voters try to beat Election rush WASHINGTON — Early voters are casting Bush appeals to Democratic voters, Kerry says Republican 'doesn't get it' ballots at a runaway pace in Arizona's biggest county. They’ve exhausted absentee ballots in some towns in Maine. They’re far outpacing 2000 in Florida hot spots. With 32 states now offering some form of early voting, an AP/Ipsos poll taken'last weekend found 11 percent of voters across the United States already had cast ballots, and another 11 percent intended to beat the Election-Day rush as well. Coast to coast, including hotly contested states such as Iowa, Florida, Arizona and Nevada, anecdot­ al evidence points to increased interest in early voting, a trend that both parties are tracking day by day and county by county as they try to turn it to their advantage. In Florida’s Leon County, for example, the focus of intense litigation during the recount dispute of four years ago, nearly 31,000 peo­ ple had cast absentee ballots by Tuesday, compared with a little more than 10,000 absentees cast throughout the 2000 race. As well, 8,000 people in the county have taken advantage of in-person early voting, an option that wasn't available four years ago. In Washington state, another battleground, 60 to 65 percent of the total vote is expected to come in early — in some cases simply because voters want to be left alone. “Lots of folks have made up their minds, AP and they figure that if they send in their bal­ Left, President Bush speaks to supporters Wednesday at the Silverdome In Pontiac, Mich.

By ELIZABETH LUDEMANN Scene W riter

The first surviving film adaptation of Bram Stoker’s timeless horror tale “Dracula” is coming to the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center tonight, just in time for Halloween. “Nosferatu,” a 1 922 silent film by German director RW. Murnau, will be presented with live musical accompaniment in the cinema. Besides its status as ope of the greatest films of all time, “Nosferatu’s” legend is due in part to the controversy it caused. * For legal reasons, Murnau changed the names of Stoker’s classic characters, but the resemblance of the story was still enough to cause problems. In a 1923 lawsuit with Stoker’s widow, all prints and negatives of the film were ordered to be destroyed. Years later, however, the film surfaced in a number of countries, and its popularity has not died. The story revolves around the mysterious Count Orlak and his involvement with realtor Thomas Hutton and his wife Ellen. When Hutton is sent to Orlak’s iso­ lated castle to close a deal, he ends up discovering that the count is, in fact, the undead night creature N o sfe ra tu . Murnau and his cinematographer Fritz Wagner cre­ ated a cinematic masterpiece with this film. Using innovative camera techniques, low angles, stop-motion effects and atmospheric sets, this film embodies the German Expressionist style. Count Orlak, rat-like and pallid, may be one of the most grotesque screen char­ acters ever In the 1920s, live musicians almost always accompa­
