ARTS Page 7 The Purple Rose of Cairo Odeon There can be little doubt WOODY'S • FILM that, for some people, Woody Allen's non- appearance in his latest film, 'The Purple Rose of Cairo', will be a source of some dis- appointment. For me, it is a source of more than a little relief. Despite his past triumphs as a writer, director and comedy actor. I began to get a little tired of the fact that the only part Allen would ever allow himself was that of Woody Allen. Moreover, this on- screen persona seemed, more often than not, to be there for the sole purpose of covering up the cracks in the writing and directing. by the simple ploy of delivering monologues straight to camera: thus explaining the otherwise largely incom- phrensible goings-on of the rest of the cast. As though. after struglling through three score and ten, the first thing that hap- pens when you get to the Pearly Gates is that St. Peter tells you what it's all been about.

MUSIC TED CHIPPINGTON, The Butter Cookies, (Adelphi) James Brown, the mouth behind 'Attack on Bzag', and REVIEWS his band The Butter Cookies opened to a packed house. A couple of songs into the set he announced that, "this song is a Fall rip-off." Why he should pick on the one song was a little uncertain, since two thirds of the set consisted of Fall rip-off's. Brown was also good enough to inform us that "Rock'n'Roll is dead.". If that's the case then the Butter Cookies haven't noticed yet as they are still milking it for all it's worth. "We are the worst band in Leeds," claimed the mouth... not so, the worst vocalist perhaps... distributing lyric sheets and not performing at all would probably be more satsifactory all round. Then came the star turn. At the other end of the spectrum from Alexi Sayle's blistering fury, or bluster- ing foolery (sic.), lies the deadpan delivery of Ted Chip- pington. It is this style that is the hallmark of Ted's success, lines that would hardly raise a titter if read from a book cause hysterical laughter eg, 'True story about Elvis... he had a record called 'Hound Dog'. His collection of 'I was walking down the road' jokes is unparallelled, on top of that he has a great talent for mauling songs, equal to that of the esteemed Frank Sidebottom, the destruction of 'Tie A Yellow Ribbon' being the best of examples.
