Today—Saturday ,..
"Valley of the Sun,” playing to
day only at the Orpheum Theatre,
is a frontier days epic and tells
the story of a resourceful young
Army scout who averts an Indian
uprising during the dangerous
days of the old Southwest. James
Craig is the scout and in his ad
ventures finds romance with Lu
cille Ball.
The story from the pen of Clar
ence Buddington Kelland, is said
to offer thrills and excitement,
when the scout is forced to fight
the conniving activities of an In
dian agent as well as the warlike
superstitions of the redman. More
than a thousand Indians from the
pueblos near Taos, New Mexico,
where the picture was filmed, add
thrills and realism to the battle
scenes.
Sunday and Monday
“The Robe,” pronounced by cri
tics as a triumphant, historic and
epochal attraction comes to the
local screen for two days, starting
Sunday. It is the first picture to be
shown from the studios of Twenti
eth Century-Fox, and the first
made by the company in the new
medium of Cinemascope, with its
widened dimensions.
The picture is said to follow
k faithfully the unforgettable story
by author Lloyd C. Douglas. It de
picts in Technicolor, the Roman
splendor of an early age, and the
Biblical story of that era. There is
the Roman slave market where
Marcellus first acquires Demetrius;
the glittering palace of the Emper
or at Rome and cliffside villa at
Capri; the hill of Calvary where
the Crucifixion takes place; The
Catacombs of Rome; the city of
Jerusalem as it appeared that first
Palm Sunday and aboard the Ro
man galley ship that symbolizes
the movement of the story from
Rome to its most* far-flung and
restless province in its empire

duction was handpicked. Besides
the thousands in the supporting
cast, historic characters such as
Marcellus Gallio, Diana, Demetri
us, Peter, Caligula, Justus, Pilate
and many others are portrayed by
Richard Burton Jean Simmons,
Victor Mature, Michael Rennie,
Jay Robinson, Dean Jagger, Torin
Thatcher and Richard Boone, to
mention only a few. The picture
was directed by Henry Roster and
produced by Frank Ross.

bott and Lou Costello take up this
fabulously funny era in “Abbott
and Costello Meet the Keystone
Kops," which comes to the Or
pheum next week.
Zany situations develop when
Bud and Lou, fresh from the thrill
of a Nickelodeon thriller, are lured
into investing money they don’t
own in a movie that doesn’t exist.
The momentum of merriment
builds as the comedians trek to
Hollywood to unmask the embezz
ler, only to turn into the wackiest
stunt-men who ever turned the
movies upside-down.
There are such stars featured as
Fred Clark, Lynn Bari and Maxie
Rosenbloom, and also old timers
Mack Sennett, Heinie Conklin,
Hank Mann and Roscoe Ates to
bring authenticity to this picture
of early Hollywood.

IT takes a new word to describe
the magic at your command
when you drive a ’56 Buick — with
the newest transmission of them all.
It’s full power go-ahead on the
instant. You can get where you were
just looking in a shaved second’s
time — with the most modem and
most thrilling surge of safety accel
eration in the land today.
It’s smoothness, too. Complete free
dom from the “bump” and lag of
gears shifting. Only with Dynaflow
can you go winging away with so
smooth a sweep.
And only with a ’56 Buick can you
enjoy Dynaflow’s newest marvel.
It’s something the engineers call
"double regeneration.” Lets you start
off like an Olympic sprinter, with
the pedal pressed just an inch or
less. (And driving that way, you
get better gas mileage.)
There’s more big news, too,
that goes with this new Buick
. magic. And that covers a lot
more than styling.
Sure — you’ll like the graceful new
beauty of the V-shaped prow and
sweep-ahead look. And you’ll like
the extra room inside.
But as you drive you’ll find that this
Buick responds with the new might
of a big, record-powered V8 engine
of 322-cubic-inch heft.
It handles easy as butter to a warm
knife. Tracks the curves like a plane
on the beam. Makes any road seem
paved with pillows.
And what’s responsible for all this
are more new engineering advances
than Buick has ever made in one
model year.
So why not come in and see — and
feel—the difference they make?
You’ll soon know why owners find
it’s the best Buick yet—and the best
buy yet, by far.
*New Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow
is the only Dynaflow Buick builds
today. It is standard on Roadmaster,
Super and Century—optional at modest
extra cost on the Special.
