On with the show

CHAMPAIGN – The sold-out Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival opens this evening at the Virginia Theatre, giving 1,500 or so moviegoers a cinematic trip through the critic's psyche.

The event that, to culture vultures, is what Dee Brown is to Illinois basketball opens with the screening of "My Fair Lady" and closes Sunday with another musical, "U-Carmen e-Khayelitsha," shot in South Africa.
