Today—Saturday
The movie showing today at the
Orpheum Theatre is “David and
Bathsheba,” a movie of early Bibli
cal days. In it are starred Gregory
Peck and Susan Hayward.
The love of David and Bathsheba
is recorded in the Bible, and its
story has been told many, many
tines. The movie brings to life
anew. Supporting cast include
Kieron Moore and Raymond Mas
fey.
It is in color by Technicolor.
Sunday and Monday
The adventures of an almost
legendary priest who figured in the
founding of California as a Spanish
possession provide an exciting
theme for Twentieth Century Fox’s
f
inema-Scope film, “Seven Cities
of Gold," which opens Sunday.
Its a three-pronged story full of
adventure, romance and glowing
faith and tells of the almost in
credible expedition of Spanish Con
quistadores and a simple man of
God who ventured together up from
Mexico to Upper California seek
ing to conquer new lands, find the
fabled “Seven Cities of Gold,” and
to spread the message of faith
among the hostile Indians of the
Pacific Coast.
From the outset, the idealogies
of conquest by force and faith can
not be reconciled even in the face
of a common enemy. In the midst
of the strife between soldier and
Indian, stands the hard-working
monk.
Michel Rennie plays the part of
the monk; Anthony Quinn as Cas
par de Portola, the explorer-com
mander, and Richard Egan, as
Portola’s lieutenant. RitaMorenois

Thursday and Friday
Walt Disney’s ‘‘Davy Crockett,
King of the Wild Frontier,” which
plays Thursday and Friday, in a
motion picture which rigidly ad
heres to historical dates and events,
yet is said to create the lusty
legend of one of America’s fore
most pioneers—none other than
Davy Crockett, the buckskin back
woodsman from Tennessee who
fought his way from the Great
Smoky Mountains to the flaming
Alamo.
Traditional heroes come to life
again as Davy battles alongside
such immortals as Andy Jackson,
Jim Travis and Jim Bowie. There
is endless excitement, according to
advance notices, with Indian W’ars
and a hand-to-hand Tomahawk
duel, to mention only two events.
Handling the title role is a tall,
lean newcomer by name of Fess
Parker. The picture is in Techni
color.
As if Davy Crockett weren’t
enough, another Disney picture,
‘‘Arizona Sheepdog” is also show
ing on the same bill.
The story opens with a display
of a Border collie’s uncanny mas
tery of wild animals, goes on to
the triumphal rescue of five lost
sheep. The picture is packed with
suspense and the sort of incredible
adventure the Disney cameras are
famous for. It is in color by Tech
nicolor.
