It is at least twice as entertaining as "The Great Race" which is also in color, also three hours long (one intermission), also set in the early 1900s and also full of antique machinery. Both films are stylistically similar in that both often attempt to look like Mack Sen-nett comedies. What separates "The Men" from "The Race" is that the former succeeds at COLUMBIA PICTURES Presents MADI OKI BE A Em llllrtllliVIVI UilHI WW Knlnni Coclcett Emma Veary HIil SAM SPIEGEL'S Mi Christine Jorgensen, one of the most talked about personalities in show business, will introduce her new night club act Friday at the Forbidden City. frnimi mwrnT nrnrnnn rn ninnnm innir nimminnii Isle performers cast in 'Flower Drum Song' tlllfl-BUllllllB-UWil-iyiiillll 1 A HE mk ruAVBioi'iuuisnu 2nd-Feature at Kailua Drive In Co-Hit at Princess Burt Lancaster "THE TRAIN" I "WINTER A-GO-GO" Color STARTS FRIDAY KING WAIALAE DRIVE IN TV-I I 1 1 FI SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT TODAY ONLY VMWI yV MATINEE 3:30 iJg TONIGHT at 7:00 9:00 STRIPPED!

Cockett, who has been acting, dancing or singing roles here and on the Mainland, is the Hawaii Visitors Bureau's director of special events.

Miss Veary and Cockett both have appeared in several plays and entertained at Isle night clubs. of brakes and of course the American pilot (Stuart Whitman) drawls and wears a cowboy hat. The several machines that finish the race after the English villain (gap-toothed Terry Thomas) has sabotaged every plane he can get close to are actually copies of primitive planes that did cross the channel. They have a special vintage charm and are curiously beautiful in flight. Among them are the American Glenn Curtis pusher biplane, a high-winged French Ber-loit.

and the British Antoinette mid-wing monoplane. About 15 reproductions of successful and unsuccessful flying machines were recreated for the film. And there are some wonderful automobiles and an antique fire engine roaring around when nothing is going on aloft. If all this suggests that people play second fiddle to machines in this picture, that's right. And go see 'em.

Arabs acclaim American girl BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) The leading dancer in Beirut, the belly-dancing capital of the Arab world, is an American from New York. "I wanted to see the world and here I am," says Jeme-la Omar, 26. She is the star of a Lebanese folk dance troupe that performs traditional rhythms for foreign tourists and Arab audience. "She can't even speak Arabic, but she can do things no Arab dancer can do," says the show's producer, this. And "The Men" isn't marred by anything like the effeminate foolishness that disfigures the last half of the other.

"The Men" involves an international air race across the English Channel in 1910. But before that, we're treated to some of the film's best moments. These are in the black-and-w i newsreel-like, history-of-flight until 1910 which stars Red Skelton and skillfully combines "staged" incidents with apDarently genuine footage of early aeronautical failures. Skelton is splendid in this. Then the screen "widens" and on come English cartoonist Ronald Searle's wonderful "antique" titles.

Then we join a British Army officer on an earlyday flight over the English countryside. He suggests the London-to-Paris air race to his girlfriend's father who is a newspaper publisher. Soon we're bustling around the world looking at entrants as they receive word of the race. This tour of the aero-capitals of France, Italy, Germany, Japan and the U.S. neatly prepares us for the gathering of the flyers at a primitive airfield outside London.

The "national characteristics" of each of the entrants are shrewdly exploited for comic effect by director Ken Annakin, who used to work for Walt Disney. For instance, the Germans do everything including fly by the numbers. The Japanese enter a plane they copied from models of two others. The British Royal Navy entry has anchor instead PARAMOUNT PICTURES CORNEL UJILDE as MUHTS mM III i ut1 Emma Veary and Kalani Cockett will play supporting roles in producer Herb Roger's "Flower Drum Song," opening in the Honolulu Concert Hall June 28 with James Shigeta, Miyoshi Umeki and Jack Soo starring.

Lahoud's work has been applauded as "the most important Lebanese artistic event of the decade." He sees nothing curious about employing an American star. "Local belly dancers work with their behinds and their stomachs and that is all, but this girl is much more expressive," Lahoud says. Jemela plays a captive whose dancing so beguiles a desert sheikh that he plucks a star from the sky and presents it to her as a pearl.
