Alqona Koituth THURSDAY, SEPT. 30, IMS ALGONA, IOWA i Seen at the ALGONA By T. H. C. -fHHIH III I III I IH1H" Two exciting adventure films highlight activities at the local theatre.

We'll take the first one, Von Ryan's Express, first. As usual, in all pictures involving the Nazis, the Germans are always shown as rather slow, dull witted, stupid individuals, while the Americans come out on top by being clever and resourceful. I can think of a dozen such situations. Von Ryan's Express is no exception. How any band of prisoners, as sorted types and some even Bri tish, could outwit a group of me thodical German officers and ge away with it, is something tha transcends the imagination.

But this doesn't mean tha Von Ryan's Express isn't an ex citing and well directed produc tion. It is. As 'a matter of fact it's the best in a long line of rai road films. The train scenes ar tremendous and pictorial shots of the Italian and Austrian Alps in rich technicolor, make it a picture that could enjoy. almost everyone I found it fascinating in every detail.

After a slow start in an Italian prison camp, the action starts when Frank Sinatra commandeers a train of a dozen box cars and makes an almost impossible escape thru German cities and finally to the destination, a tiny Swiss village. Only Frank, our hero, is a casualty. rVhich, in itself, is unusual and about the only reality in the ntire picture. But the last half hour of Von tyan's Express is about as exciting a thirty minutes as you'll ind in any picture and you lose ight of the improbabilities in our interest in the action. And here's plenty of that, I hope didn't miss it; whether you ire a train fan or not, it was pectacular and worth while.

YOU KNEW IT would happen. Vith the popularity of James Jond pictures, it was inevitable that competitors would capitalize on this type of film. In place of deadly gadgets poisoned dart heels of shoes, tear gas in Brassieres and other Code 7, Victim 5 specializes in situations under the sea, in the air, on the mountain, in the jungle. And the one thing tha has made James Bond 007 productions famous are the girls. Code 7, Victim 5 doesn't over look this feature.

As a matte of fact, there are more bikini clad gals running all over the screen, than I think I've ever seen in one motion picture. If the situations are improbable, and the plot a bit contusing at times, there are always the girls to take your mind off the plot. Ann Smyrner and Veronique Vendell, both with foreign ac- The Francis Froehlichs parents, the Kay Fitches, Btir.t. took Mrs. Don Ft ochlich and dau-1 Also visiting the Filches was where Mrs.

This Barker is a tall, distinguished, athletic type who plays the private detective and of course, triumphs gloriously over all attempts to annihilate him. Anc there are numerous such. But the rather alluring Ann Smyrnef stands by his side and hares his adventures with him Veronique, on the other hand, a promiscuous female but she ends up uy driving away with the secret police, after inherit ng a huge fortune from her fos ter father.

This just doesn' seem right from a moral standpoint. Some of the charm of this picture is the breath-taking scenery of the Cape Town, African locale, with camera shots of mountain roads that defy (I didn't say, "beggars" give me credit for that) description. SINCE THIS review won't appear until What's New, Pussycat? has come and gone from the local theatre, I'll just say that in my humble opinion, this picture marks a new LOW in motion picture history. With such a capable cast and such lavish production, Pussycat is a complete loss. Yet despite its cheapness, it is doing a land, or ather, box office, business ev- rywhere.

Just what does that ay for public taste? An utter aste of time and talent. Just for the record, August box champions are Cat Ballou, larlow, The Sandpiper, Sons of Katie Elder, Von Ryan's Express and What's New Pussycat. All of these shows have already shown at the Algona or are raoked for October. Not a bad record. Ex-Algona pair are injured in car accident Jerry wcslmar.
