By JACK GAVER UPI Drama Editor New York - TO - Speeta cle of an unusual nature and at least half a dozen fascinat ing characterizations should make a winner out of "Law rence of Arabia," a gigantic film about this controversial World I figure which was giv- en its American premiere re cently at the Criterion theater in New York City. It has faults, including an unnecessarily long length of almost four hours, but there is no doubt that it Is bound to be one of the "glamour films ' of the season. For one thing It introduces' to American audiences young, lean-faced, blond Irish born actor named Peter O'- Toole who has had extensive stage experience in England within a few years. He has the role of T. E. Lawrence, and he should be the "differ ence" in saving this one from being a "not a woman's pic ture." The gals will want to get a look at him. His inter pretation is somewhat uncver, but when he is good, he is quite good. Egyptian Star They will also get a long look at another newcomer, Omar Sharif, an Egyptian film star, who Is handsome and radiates sex appeal. He plays a sheikh, All, close friend and desert mentor of Lawrence in the English sol dier's effort to help the Ara bian tribes create their own nation in the crucible of World War I. His acting of the role is impeccable. Producer Sam Spiegel and Director David Lean (they made the memorable "The Bridge on the River Kwai") have cast well for the lead ing roles of the film which seems to employ thousands of persons. Anthony Quinn has a field PRE-CHRISTMAS CLEARANCE Save Save Save on your Christmas gift purchases now at Ih Toy World. OPEN ALL DAY TODAY OPEN TILL 6 P.M. MONDAY Hurry-while these last.

All are fine. New Locations Using never-before photo graphed locations in the Mid dle East, the film is a cinema- tographcr's dream come true. The scope, magic and terror of the desert Is captured as never before. Cameraman Fred A. Young filmed it in Technicolor and Super-Fan- vision 70. In devising the script, Brit ish Playwright Robert Bolt has stuck fairly closely to the known facts about the enigmatic Lawrence, but I feel he missed writing as taut and fascinating a pi -j as Tcr- rence Rattigan's biographical play of Lawrence, "Ross," which we had here on Broad way least season. There is, however, quality In Bolt's dialogue. The film opens with a few shots showing the death of Lawrence (then calling him self Aircraftsman Shaw) in a motorcycle accident in Eng land in 1035. Then it proceeds to tell the story of this schol arly Arabian enthusiast who talked his way from a minor Army position into a liaison assignment to stir up the Arab tribes against Turkey. Struggles Detailed It covers in detail Law rence's struggle to become acceptable to the Arabs and his introduction of military stratagems that eventually led to the defeat of the Turks and the capture of Damascus. Along the way are some vivid insights into the inner tur moils of Lawrence and the change in him after his cap ture and torture by the Turks. The film is a great action picture much of the time and a bloodthirsty one. Talk about your Westerns! Great though they are, the elimination or shortening of some of the desert sequences would do the picture a world of good - and cut it to a more reasonable length. Columbia Pictures will re lease the film on a reserved seat basis in several key cities within coming weeks. fit. C , f --y ... i Chrisimai is for tha children, is a popular saying and cer tainly this holds true for homemade candy making. They not only enjoy eating the candies, but the pleasure of helping to make them, too. The teen-age crowd loo is enthusiastic about candies and candy making and a taffy pull is enough fun to warrant giving a special "taffy party." Popcorn balls and peanut brittle also are old favorites.

But from there it extends in kaleidoscopic fash ion to the many manners in which it is observed. One of the good things that goes into its observance is homemade candy. And for most youngsters, homemade candies are one of the many delights of holiday time. They not only enjoy eating the can dies but the pleasure of help ing to make them, too.

Most American Homes Said Drier Than Desert By MARGARET McELHENY United Press International Chicago - ilTIi - The :iir in most American homes during the winter "is drier than in the Sahara Desert," reports an engineer-researcher. Burton Shaffer, rnginerr and vice president of Hamil ton Humidity, Inc., said "The air in 85 per cent of our homes contains 10 to 15 per cent relative humidity riming the winter, compared with recommended levels of ,15 to 45 per cent. The Sahara Desert has an average rela tive humidity of 20 per cent."

Three tablespoons of honey stirred into one cup of milk makes a sweet topping for cereal. Pork - Cranberry Treat Makes Festive Fare Pork chops really need no gilding, but sauces are always a welcome variation for dress ing chops in attire for com pany or adding interest to family menus. A sauce using a plentiful food gives the entree a seasonal air as well as add ing to its economy. Such a topping is cranberry sauce, for cranberries are at the height of their season. The tart berries are always a de licious accompaniment for meat, but pork chops become a special taste treat when cooked right with them. The slow braising creates a mouth watering combination of fla vors. Rcba Staggs, meat expert and home economist, recom mends braising pork chops for about 45 miniutes or until tender. The cranberries and brown sugar are cooked with the chops. When the meat is done it is placed on a platter and the sauce is thickened with cornstarch. The orange slices are added and the tart, tasty sauce is spooned over the chops. It s an attractive, appe tizing combination. PORK-CRANBERRY TREAT Six loin or rib pork chops cut three-fourths to one inch thick; one tablespoon lard or drippings; one teaspoon salt; one-eighth teaspoon pepper; one cup raw cranberries; one fourth cup brown sugar, firm ly packed; two tcas-poons corn starch; two-thirds cup water; 6ne large orange, peeled and cut into slices one-fourth inch thick. Brown chops in lard or drip pings. Pour off drippings. Sea son with salt and pepper. Add cranberries and brown sugar. Cover tightly and simmer 45 minutes. Remove chops to a hot platter. Combine corn starch and water and add to cooking liquid in pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Add orange slices and heat through! Serve over chops. 6 servings. 4 Christmas Boxes Are Packed at Meeting Wildcrville-T h e Wilder- ville Woman's Society of Christian Service met at the home of Mrs. James Lindsay of Fish Hatchery road recent ly.

Rodanthe, Hatteras Island, N.C. - OIPIl - A tradition brought from England with the first colonists is still a way of life on North Carolina's Outer Banks. There are few who enjoy a happier Yuletide than do the weather-wise folks who live here in Rodanthe, the village on this fabled isle where Christmas twice is observed. The Outer Bankers celebrate Christmas on December 25 along with everybody else. They also have a second celebration January 6, even larger and livelier than the first. Known as Old Christ mas, it is a survival of a tra dition which began hundreds of years ago when people re fused to accept the edict set ting the calendar observance of Christmas ahead 12 days. Old Christmas . Old Christmas is known sometimes as Little Christ mas, Epiphany or Twelfth Night a celebration that takes place on the 12th day after December 25. While the celebration is centered at the villages of Rodanthe and near by Waves, actually the whole island is concerned with the tradition. The Hatteras Islanders are direct descendants of Amer ica's early English settlers. Largely untouched by many aspects of contemporary life, they still speak in a peculiar Old English twang. Commer cialism is lacking to any large extent for Old Christmas. The celebration begins be fore dawn on the morning of January 6 with eerie fife and drum music filling the salt tinged air as a band of roving amateur musicians winds its way about the village. They go from house to house until all villagers have been visited and piped awake by the strange serenade. Every villager who Is able joins in the procession, along with numerous visitors from the mainland who annually come to take part in the an cient ceremonies. By noon the procession reaches a central point whera a table of monstrous propor tions is spread with all the fix ings of Christmas. Commun ion, prayer, fellowship and feasting prevail. With tha coming of dusk, a Mardi Gras type celebration gets under way. The islanders parade in gaily-colored costumes. Wear ing mummers' masks, they join a meandering, shadowy procession which winds its way across the sandy dunes and grass patches. The highlight is the arrival of Old Buck two men dressed as a steer with a pair of horns protruding forth and a cow bell which clangs out a syncopated rhythm to tha clapping of hands. Old Buck charges ponderously and gro tesquely around in the crowd with Santa Claus on his back. Later, the villagers gather in an old schoolhouse for sing ing, folk dancing and candy boiling, followed by an oyster roast on the beach. Cranberry Punch Spiced fresh cranberry punch is a beautiful and re freshing beverage. Wash ona pound of fresh cranberries. Place in a suacepan with three cups of water, two (2-inch) sticks of cinnamon and one half teaspoon of whole all spice. Cover and cook six to eight minutes, until skins' pop. Do not overcook. Strain. Add two and one-half cups of sugar, and stir until dissolved. Chill. Add one cup of fresh orange juice and one-half cup of fresh lemon juice. Garnish with orange slices stuck with whole cloves. Makes about two quarts. Cheer a hospital patient during Christmas with a small, live tree, decorated with miniature ornaments.
