"Target 1 Zero” stars Richard Conte and Peggie Castle in a story about the Korean War. Somewhat de- j void of plot, action or acting, the ; film leaves more than a little to be desired. Co-feature is “The j Paris Follies of 1958.” Who knows ? Musical Bill Amusing double bill for those who didn’t catch either on their first-run through Eugene plays at the Eugene Drive-in. “Knock on Wood” stary Danny Kaye in an amusing although somewhat disappointing, Danny Kaye type musical. Co-feature With “Knock on Wood,” is “Carmen Jones.” To those who do not know the opera, especially the music as sung by YW Fun Fesi Affair Committeemen Needed Members are needed for com mittees for the International Fun fest on Feb. 4, according to Lloydene Hurt, chairman of the YWCA International Affairs commission.

' "SMASHUP" With SUSAN HAYWARD -CO-HIT "STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN"with david niven STARTS SUNDAY — Doors Open at 1:45 voices who can sing, this film should be entertaining. But. those who have seen or heard a produc tion of “Carmen" will undoubted ly be upset if not by the voices at least by Mr. Hammerstein’s terrible lyrics. Of the leading characters, only Pearl Bailey is permitted to sing with her own voice. Transplanted to South As most know, this version of Bizet s opera is transplanted to the American south during the second World War. Harry Bela fonte plays Joe (Don Jose). The musical is a fairly faithful trans portation of the opera, consid ering the plot, but poor writing detracts from the total effect. Films of a dubious nature will be shown over the weekend at the Heilig. “The Spoilers” and Hold Back Tomorrow” play through Saturday. Jeff Chandler and Anne Baxter star in the former, a story of the “North country.” Beginning Sunday the Heilig will show "The Last Frontier" and "Inside Detroit.” Second-run films, vintage models, compose the film fare at the Mayflower. An amusing fantasy, “Stairway to Heaven." stars David Niven. Co-feature is "Smash-Up," starring a drunken Susan Hayward. Sunday begins “The Divided Heart," a tender, touching type film, and "Trouble in Store," a J. Arthur Rank comedy. "The Trial," a recent drama starring Glenn Ford and Arthur Kennedy, plays through Satur day at the McKenzie. Co-feature is "Jesse James' Woman," ob viously a top contender for the academy award. oCistenintj ~3n ...On K WAX Friday 6:00 SIGN ON 6:03 Dinner Hour Serenade 6:45 News ’Till Now 7:00 Nicholas Nickleby 7:30 Tour de France 7:45 Guest Star 8:00 Jazz 9:00 KWAXworks 10:55 Final Edition 11:00 SIGN OFF Sunday 2:00 SIGN ON 2:03 Shakespeare Festival 4:00 Sunday Serenade 5:00 SIGN OFF KWAX operates on 880 KCs AM in Straub, Earl and Carson and 91.1 Mgs on FM.
