Venice Film Festival award winner "Ugetsu," made in 1953, is the third show in the series.

Story setting for "Ugetsu" is 16th century Japan, and the beauty of Kazuo Miyagawa's photography made the film exquisite. The magic of the film is in the artistry of the photography, which achieves the mystic beauty of classic Japanese painting. "Ugetsu" tells a ghostly legend, one not easily forgotten.

POWER TOOL INSTITUTE: Seal attached to instruction sheets' and literature enclosed A film festival of old movies, now listed as classics, has been scheduled by John Simmons, chairman of the Art Department at Drury. The movies, filmed in this country, Europe and Asia, will be shown on Friday nights in Brandenburg Hall, Lay Science Center, starting March 5, continuing through April 10. The series of si films opens with "The Blue Angel," the Sternberg film that launched Marlene Dietrich. Fusing the naturalism of the young Marlene with the expressionism of Emil Jannings into a harsh slice of realism, the picture captivated audiences in 1930. Filmed in Germany, with subtitles, the story is about Professor Rath from a boys' high school, an honorable gentleman of jniddle age, who finds his pupils playing with postcards of Lola.

Lola is the lovely singer at the Blue Angel Cafe. The tragedy developed under Josef von Sternberg's direction, and he found himself internationally noted for introducing fa method that won commercial success and founded a cult. In the book "From Caligari to Hitler," the author said, "Marlene Dietrich made Lola a new incarnation of sex, playing the pretty Berlin tart, with provocative legs and easy manner, showing an impassivity which incited one to grope for the secret behind her callous egoism and cool insolence." She shared the limelight with Emil Jannings, who gave one of his most unforgettable performances in this movie. He started in German films in 1915, and in each new film set a new high in excellence of acting. "Peter the Great," "The Last Laugh," and "The Way of All Flesh," were highlights of his career.

Jannings often surprised critics with the brilliance of his performances. "Hallelujah the Hills" is second on the film festival. Adolfas Mekas' uninhibited love for cinema parodied almost every film style from Griffith to Go-dard in this cinematic joke. The producer pulls some zany stunts, but they are coupled with vision and memories. A.

romantic comedy, the movie was filmed in South Londonderry, in 1963. The New York Times reviewer wrote about it: "This unpretentious exercise in low budget pinema. made by a group of newcomers with little AARP Chapter Meets Thursday Springfield-Ozarks chapter, American Association of Retired Persons, will meet at the Glenstone Heritage for dinner Thursday at 5:30 p.m. following a 15-minute social period.

KNIGHT ParkCrest For Beautiful Brands you can 3 BIG Several well-known seals' By JUDY JACOB Women's News Service The new percolator you bought, your carpeting, your air conditioner all gummed and sticky from seal, guaranties, promissory tags. Most so familiar you pass over them with a glance, detach and forget them until you run into a problem. Then you want to know what those seals and tags and sti ckers really mean what they can do for you. What does a Good Housekeeping sticker mean on your pots and pans? Is an item la- fa 1 "Listed Underwriters' Laboratories" tested and guar anteed to be safe? Is an "acceptable" rating by Consumer Reports their endorsement of the product? Here's a rundown of some "of the more familiar signs and seals and what they mean to yenri-he- consumer. First, those sponsored by pri vate nonindustry sources: CONSUMER REPORTS: Published by a nonprofit organization, Consumers Union, this monthly magazine reports descriptions, test results and ratings of everything from automo biles to toothbrushes.

It has no connection with commercial interests, accepts no advertising, gifts, donations or free samples. It doesn't endorse products. Findings are based on a combination of laboratory tests, con trolled use tests and expert opinion or experience. Significance to the consumer? A nonbiased source for accurate evaluation of a product with list ing by brand names. No guaran ties or endorsements attached.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING: The oval Good Housekeeping consumers' guaranty is awarded only to those products which advertise in Good Housekeeping magazine. These have been evaluated by Good Housekeeping Institute as. "good" products, whose advertising they actually mean? with power tools which concur with the 18 safety rules of the organization. This seal informs the con- Kumer that each tool has been inspected under power, that it contains a built-in grounding system or double insulation, and that instructions are enclosed to operate the tool safely. These are but some of the fa miliar seals you will find on products when you buy them.

Note that none is a guarantee of the product itself, rather of its safety or performance. Note also the safety standards to which these organizations ad here are many and varied. The inadequacies of these guaranty seals were pointed out recently by Rep. Benjamin S. Rosenthal.

New York Democrat, when testifying before the National Commission on Product Safety: "This points up the fact that a healthy skepticism should prevail on seals that are not directly related to known tests In short, to make intelligent use ot seals, consumers must know: who approves the product, what tests were made, what the test results were, what the certification includes, and what the specific terms of the guarantee are ana now long they are effective. The Good Housekeeping seal and others like it fail to answer many of these requirements." Lapp-Gravelle Marriage Set Dr. and Mrs. Charles L. Lapp, St.

OFF SAVE ON New Spring Fabrics Kclile Cloth Bonded Acrylics Knils Linens Fancy Prints 1 rhQ bravura made Vidor rate with the greatest. "Shoot the Piano Player" was a 1960 triumph for French producer and actor Francois Truf-faut.

The film is an existential essay on life, the product of an inventive director and his fine script. Truffaut with his wild fascination for cinematic effect, turned it loose to create this profoundly human tragedy, caught in the framework of the David Coodis novel. Despising sentimentality, Truffaut is capable of laughing and suffering simultaneously, he sees to it that you are his victim. An exercise in brilliance, the movie is given the talents of Charles Az- nevour, Marie DuBois, Albert Remy and Serge Davri. Final film in the series is Shaw's "Major Barbara." With Wendy Hiller and Rex Harrison, together with Robert Morley, Robert Newton and Emlyn Williams, to underscore the Shaw philosophy, Gabriel Pascal tried to prove that the worst of our crimes is poverty.

Dame Sybil Thorndike and Deborah Kerr also are in the cast. This was Pascal's second transcription of Shaw with Shaw. He first did "Pygmalion," with Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller. While Shaw triumphed both Pascal's direction (with Shaw looking over his shoulder) is considered brilliant. Tickets for the film festival now are available in the office of the Drury Art Department in Harwood Hall.

The festival will be open to the public. Reveal Winners InBridze Games Springfield Bridge Studio held a rating point game in the How ell movement Tuesday after noon, Feb. 10, when winning pair was Mrs. Harlen Kirkham and Mrs. R.F.
