' «nces#nd TnUiisters of all faiths as
an overwhelming motion picture
experience will begin its local
engagement Wednesday at the
Orpheum Theatre.
Ten years in the planning, three
years in research, three years in
the writing and more than a year
in the actual shooting, the picture
is by far the biggest production
in film history.
Utilizing the talents of a massive
cast of top stars and the best tech
nicians the industry has to offer,
the Paramount picture back
grounds an eternally dramatic and
meaningful story with spectacle
that has been called colossal in
its scope.
The dramatization of the Book
of Exodus stars Charlton Heston
as Moses, Yui Brynner as his im
placable enemy^papeses II, Anne
Baxter, Edward' 6. Robirison,
Yvonne De Carlo, Dbbra Paget and
John* Derek.
Starring also are Sir Cedric
Hardwicke, ' Hina Foch, Martha
Scott, Judith Anderson and Vin
cent Price, with the supporting
roles played by a long list of stars.
Extras number upwards of 25,000
and were hired for the Egyptian
location shooting by the tribe.
Running three hours and thirty
nine minutes, the VistaVision,
Technicolor film is the account
of the life of Moses from the time
his mother set him afloat on the
Nile, through his yeats a^ a mighty
general in the Pharbahff *to
his betrayal and exile to the des
ert, and finally his deliverance
of the Israelites and his receipt
of God's Commandments. Many
scenes were made on Mount Sinai
itself, on the shores of the Red Sea
and on the very desert sands that
felt Moses’ footsteps.
Since its premiere performances
on, the film has been receiving
extraordinary acclaim for its awe
inspiring re-creations of the budd
ing of the Pharaoh’s treasure city,
the Plagues, the Exodus, the Pillar
of Fire, the etching of the Com

Western Today
War Story Sunday
Joel McCrea, in “Gunsight
Ridge,” playing today, ‘ furnishes
some exciting moments as a secret
agent who attempts to bag a des
perate outlaw without discredit
ing the ability of the town’s
worthy sheriff.
It is said that exciting yet al
ways believable realism marks
this production. There is not a
faked shot in the entire picture.
Eevn the hazardous runaway stage
coach sequences were filmed as
both camera car and coach ca
reened around, hairpin turns high
in the Arizona mbqjifctins.
Others in the cast include Mark
Stevens and Joan Weldon.
