His early attempts fail when his experiments backfire and he becomes the laughing stock of the town. Instead of a flying basketball team, this film features a mad, mirthful football contest in which players' suits inflate (like the pigskin itself) and the athletes float down the field for touchdown after touchdown.

THE PROFESSOR and his wife are approached by several Mad ison Avenue executives to get the flubber rights. The men are ready to startle the world with such products as flubber heels, flubber floors and a flubbermo-bile. The professor lets the government keep flubber but he surrounds the countryside with "dry rain" thereby producing a crop of the most mammoth vegetables ever grown. BAKED VIRGINIA The 'Son Of Flubber' Is Strange, But Not Short, 'Interlude' fs First Rank A Delightful By MARLENE MATOUK Times Movie Reviewer Flubber has returned in all its bouncy sparkle in "Son of Flubber" Walt Disney's newest venture, now showing at the Florida Theatre.

REVIEW List's Feeling, Warmth Thrill Concertgoers By MARY NIC SHENK Times Music Reviewer True pianism reigned last night when Eugene List was pre sented by the Florida Presby terian Concert Scries in its clos ing program of the season.

It was a rare treat to hear the real qualities of the instrument coupled with the finest elements of music. List thirlled his hushed and attentive audience with his interesting and seldom heard program. Including music of only the romantic and impressionistic periods, he illustrated the beau ty of a cantabile tone and warmth of melody shining above an ex cellent technical foundation. Technique was always a means to the end never solely the end result. PIANIST LIST opened with Revel's delicate "Le Trombeau de Couperin," featuring exquisite tone and pedal effects.

Eighteenth-century forms were clothed in impressionistic harmonies with the flowing grace of a harp. Schubert's quietly impressive "Sonata in A. Major" more noticeably produced the lovely melodies and phrasing so typical of the romantic composers and artist List. Brahms' "Sonata in Ma jor, more virtuoso in its content, had alternating moods of fury and repose in the interplay of melody and technique. THE PROGRAM continued its buildup after intermission with the gloriuous Schumann "Sonata in Minor." This work by a master of melody had a master interpreter in List.

The second movement, Andantino, was deeply moving with its heavenly melody played beautifully and pi-anistically. The peak was reached in the "Andante Spianato et Grande Polonaise Brilliante" by Chopin. List presented a most stylistic interpretation in the highly romantic nocturne of the Andante. Balance of melody and accompaniment was gorgeous. Runs and technique in the Polonaise were brilliant yet never brittle or unpianistic.

The piano, consid ered to be percussive, became a string instrument of rare eloquence in the hands of Eugene List. SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1961 ST. PETERSBURG CAMEO (Central at 1st): Tht Tartars, 1:05, 5:25, 9:40. Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, 2:40, 6:55. CAPITOL (140 1st St.

The Convicts By RICHARD SEVERO Special To The Times From Tha New York Herald Tribune NEW YORK Strange Inter lude, Eugene O'Neill's monumental nine-act play, opened Monday night at the Hudson Theatre. No one interested in good theatre can afford to miss it. In inaugurating its long-planned project of presenting a Broadway play, the Actors Studio Theatre has scored a major triumph, for "Strange Interlude" is a production of the first rank. Evaluating this production is no easy task. One could easily run out of superlatives attempting to discuss cast, direction, scenery or costumes.

The play itself is one of O'Neill's best. Here, O'Neill has given us the total sweep of a lifetime and the efforts of a group of people to struggle through it, seeking fulfillment. Geraldine Page gives a fine performance as Nina Leeds, a woman who constantly strives to meet her promise as a woman. Her father (Franchot Tone) blocked her marriage to Gordon Shaw, who then was killed in World War I. AFTER HER father dies, she marries Sam Evans (Pat Hin- gle) a man she does not want But she hopes he will give her a child, a child to be her fulfill ment.

Here she is frustrated, too, for she learns of insanity in the Evans family and refuses to bear her husband's child. Nina then turns to Dr. Edmund Darrell (Ben Gazzara), and fills him with self-recrimination. It had been Darrell who recom mended her marriage to Evans and it should be he, she reasons, who must help her now. She convinces Darrell that he must father her child.

This will give her the love-object she needs. The son is born. Nina names him after the Gordon she lost in the war, and for a time, she is on a plateau of happiness. But as in ma grows older, we MATINEE DANCE TODAY COLISEUM 2 P.M. 'til 4:30 FREE DANCE INSTRUCTION 2 P.M.
