Olympia Brewing Company, Olympia Washington *OLY** Ail Olympia empties are recyclable r FILM ON TV By LYNN COUCH This week lightning strikes twice at the same time, if not in the same place. Tuesday night presents, in addition to the suspense of election returns, a knotty choice between the cinema of Howard Hawks and that of John Ford. Although both films being offered are excellent, J'd have to go with Ford this time. After all, Hawks' Rio Bravo (that which is being shown) was televised just two weeks ago, and it's a safe bet that within a month or so you'll have another chance at it. Rio Bravo is one of the most frequently shown films on Oregon television. Happily, it is also one of the very best.

The lp showcases Mahavishnu’s new directions and experiences. Do yourself a favor: give “APOCALYPSE” a listen. You’ll be glad you did.

If you haven't seen it enough to get the dialog memorized yet, you have another chance at 7 p.m. on Channel 12. A rarer film on television, and therefore the top choice of the week is Ford's The Lest Hurrah which starts (Tuesday) at 8 p.m. on Channel 5. Ford was a great filmmaker, one of a small handful of the finest directors who ever lived. And because he made many Westerns, whether by personal inclination or studio insistance, they are among the best ever made, both as Westerns and as films. He was not confined to a single genre, though. The Grapes of Wrath, How Green Was My Valley, The Long Voyage Home, The Quiet Man and The Long Gray Line are also examples of the best cinema has to offer, and The Last Hurrah, set as far east of For5's traditional stomping grounds as possible without sinking into the Atlantic, is no less a brilliant product of a towering artistic personality than are his poems of sand and sagebrush. Starring Spencer Tracy as a mayor seeking re-election, the film is graced by Ford's brilliant sense of time, history, tradition and his overwhelming love for the crowds of people who move through his cinematic world. Monday at 9 p.m. is Casablanca. Casablanca is undeniably magic — suberb stars (Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, in case you've been lost in the Amazon jungles since 1940), a by-now tegendary song ("As Time Goes By”) and more classic Bogart one-liners than in any other film. Directed by Michael Curtiz, it's entertainment of uncommon richness. Before George Stevens was afflicted with a taste for super productions (Shane, Giant) he used to make films like Gunga Din, simpler, less pretentious and generally a lot more fun. Starring Cary Grant and Victor McLaglen, it's being shown Monday at 8 p.m. on Channel 3. A fine King Vidor Western of the 50s, Man Without a Star, starring Kirk Douglas is shown today at 1 p.m. on Channel 12. Channel 3 is throwing another "Film Festival" your way, this time focusing on the great Edward G. Robinson. I have been unable to find out many details about it, however. The Festival is comprised of A Dispatch from Reuters', Laceny, Inc., and The Sea Wolf, and begins at 7 p.m. Friday on Channel 3, but ac cording to TV Guide the whole works lasts only three hours. It can't be done without cutting the films to shreds. It might be worth while to check it out anyway, in case the magazine is misinformed. If the films are not mutilated beyond repair, the best of the bunch is The Sea Wolf, directed by Michael Curtiz, featuring John Garfield.
