Born in Italy in 1885 to a middle class Italian father and a French mother, Valentino died in New York of acute peri- tonitis in 1926.

26 DECEMBER 4, 2003 WHAT’S happening

McDonald Theatre will offer up a rare opportunity to experience living rock ‘n’ roll history this week, when it plays host to the Stanley Mouse Rock Art Show. Stanley Mouse, hailed as the artist who “drew the face on rock music,” has created some of rock’s most recognizable images on posters and album covers, including those by the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and more. His work has been exhibited everywhere from New York to London to Tokyo, and he is known worldwide for integrating text as a visual element. Stanley Mouse’s work will be on display Dec. 11, and the artist will be present to chat, sign his artwork and sketch on-site. See Thursday, Dec. 11 Calendar.

Watch out! Eric Idle (right) is on the loose, and he is bringing his “Greedy Bastard Tour” to Eugene. The comedian/actor/writer/singer is known for his Monty Python appearances, but he has also been immersed in an over- whelming number of other projects over the years, including co-writing a Broadway musical, releasing a comedy album, The Rutland Isles, and direct- ing a TV version of his previous tour, “Eric Idle Exploits Monty Python.” Idle is a comic force to be reckoned with, and he will bring gales of laugher to the Hult Center this week.
