"Trapeze" With Lollobrigida
Lancaster Sunday, New Empress
by Frank Lcyendecker
Three of filmdom's most person
able stars, the virile Burt Lancaster,
the widely publicized Italian beauty
Gina Lollobrigida and the youthful
Tony Curtis, have mefcty roles*
which show them to their best pos
sible advantage in this spectacular
ly thrilling and superbly photo
graphed melodrama of circus life.
With Burt to attract the women
fans, Gina to make male patrons
drool over her shapely loveliness
and Tony to draw his teenage fol
lowing. this should be a boxoffice
smash in any type of house.
Hecht and Lancaster Productions
sent the entire troupe to Paris
where the oustanding British direc
| tor, Sir Carol Reed, filmed the pic
; ture in Cinemascope and DeLuxe
: Color at the famous Cirque d'Hiver
| and on actual street locations. The
result is a picture which can boast
great realism, the breath-holding
suspense of split-second aerial
flights, a strong romantic plot and,
best of all, the excitement and at
mospheric color of a Parison big
j top—certainly the best picturization
of a "greatest show" since De Mille’s
1952 circus epic.
i Sir Carol shows his fine director
ial hand by using an extremely dra
matic and effective opening trapeze
shot, which leads into the credits
and then a story which builds sus
pense and intrigue surely and stead
ily until it reaches its breathtaking
climax. He has guided his stars
splendidly to th^ extent that Lan
caster gives probably his finest
screen portrayal to date as a crip
pled trapeze star; Tony Curtis is
boyish and entirely convincing as
a budding circus aerialist: and Miss
Lollobrigida is excellent as the
beautiful performer who comes be
tween them.
But these three must share hon
ors with a fourth star, Robert Kras
ker, director of photography, who
has achieved some amazing aerial
effects, many of them strikingly
leased through the enormous net
on the circus floor. The DeLuxe
Color gives the entire picture a
soft hue which is comparable only
to the memorable colors in "Moulin

Davis Will
Conduct Speech
Forums Here
George Davis, who is currently
conducting a speech evaluation
clinic at the Main school, will hold
a special clinic in two group sess
ions Tuesday and Wednesday under
the auspices o f the Alaska Crippled
Children's Association,
Rouge” and will indubitably rate an
Academy Award nomination.
Lancaster’s acrobatic training
came in handy for much of his tra
peze performing and the doubling
for the other stars is expertly done.
The hours from 2 to 4 p.m. on
Tuesday will be devoted to the
problems of stuttering, especially
helping parents understand the emo
tional and environmental factors In
j volved in this speech condition. On
i Wednesday the discussion will cen
ter on delayed speech and articula
tion, and the emotional problems
I that cause these disturbances.
During Davis’ clinic at the Main
I School, he has evaluated the speech
i problems of over 40 children, with
' 28 more scheduled. This is the first
time such a clinic has been held in
: the Fairbanks area.
The public is cordially invited to
attend the two special group sess
ions, for which no admission will
be charged.
