Arts and Entertainment KEEPING UP

A time for looking backward and forward – that’s why they call it January. (Remember? The old two-faced Roman god Janus, guardian of entrances – and presumably exits?) Here’s some help in your forward looking. So make a New Year’s resolution to get out and about.



Sunday, 1



The National Football Conference Championship, live from Texas Stadium. Maybe. There are about a million variables to be settled between this writing and that afternoon. But if all proceeds smoothly with the Cowboys, they’ll be playing at home today. If they are, it’s sold out.



Monday, 2



Football has altered the calendar. In many minds, New Year’s Day is bowl day. For them, New Year’s 1978 is January 2 (the pro games on Jan. 1 have pushed the bowls up a day). The biggie this year is right here at home: The Cotton Bowl with the Longhorns of Texas against the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. A sell-out (unless you want to risk your wallet on scalpers). Kickoff is 1:10 p.m. Later today you can catch the Rose Bowl and the Orange Bowl on the tube.



Tuesday, 3

Fulfill that New Year’s resolution to explore North Texas culture by exploring Fort Worth’s museums. Begin with the paintings, drawings and photographs of Ben Shahn in the main gallery of the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art. This retrospective exhibition is open 10-5, Tuesday through Saturday and 1-5:30 on Sunday at 3501 Camp Bowie until the 15th. Finish up at the Kimbell, where Jazz, a collection of lithographs by Henri Matisse, remains until the 29th. Museum hours are 10-5 Tuesday through Saturday, 1-5 on Sunday.



In 1901, the Dallas Public Library first opened the doors of the old Carnegie building downtown. Three quarters of a century later, DPL takes a look at its past and future through photographs, artifacts and a model of the new Central Research Library. See the display in the Terrace Room downtown or stop by downstairs for an exhibit of doll quilts in the first floor showcase.



Once upon a time, good little children with unimaginative parents went to sleep without any stories. But then one day the Public Library came to the rescue. The nice people at the Walnut Hill branch began offering bedtime stories at 7:30 each Tuesday in January, and even allowing the children to wear pajamas. Now they and their parents live happily ever after, sort of. The end.

Wednesday, 4
