An amazing transition has occurred in Japan in one short generation, and this is his theme. "Japan" is the first event of Hip var on the Wide World se- He believes in the potency of hunches, and as a movie technical director wouldn't hire an actor for a gambling rble if he wore a mustache. Niqht Sounds A businessman whose hobby led to a new career is the producer of "Japan," the color film to be given its Bay Area premiere kr Oakland Auditorium Theater at 8 p.m. Friday.

Arthur Dewey of Cleveland was; jan, executive city's ldest manufacturing firms, an attorney, certified p-lic accountant, Rotarian and church trustee when he took up photography as a hobby in 1937. Now he has travelled the world with his camera and is regarded as one of the top professionals in the film-lecture field. He will narrate his film "Ja- ries sponsored by the Oakland Museum Association and the Snow Museum as a benefit for the Oakland Museum natural science acquisition fund. The performance is, also sponsored by the Fukuoka Society, Wanto Fukuoka Nijei Jin-Kae, the Oakland Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League and Sumitomo Bank. Believe Me." In the former he taught Corrine Calvert "how to properly deal cards.

It wasn't easy Miss Calvert," said Sam, not ungallantly, "at firsi was all thumbs." Landy, who in our sustained conversation tried, delicately but obviouslyiojsneak in small plugs for the Dunes, looks on gambling such as- practiced in Nevada with a forthright attitude surprising to a layman who has read or listened to glowing promises of huge winnings awaiting visitors to her neighboring state. "Most people," said Landy without batting an eye, "shouldn't gamble. That is, if they want to make money, or break even. They don't know how. They'll permit themselves to lose far more than they'll allow themselves to win.

In other words, they lack guts when the luck is in their direction." jfo has been about 18 years since Rusty Draper began entljtaining folks in these parts. You may recall he was miinstay at Will King's out oh Geary. Street in San Francisco. During his stay at that club, Rusty built up tremendous Bay Area following that remains to this dayHe went on to become a recording sensation his records have sold in the millions and he is a solid draw on the nightery circuit. Rusty hasn't lost any of the warmth, earthiness or feeling for an audience that projected him intqfthe limelight.

He's the same lovable redhead whom everyone remembers. He's as busy as ever on the nightery circuit with peajrances all over the world. He's liable to be in London "Makes 'Psycho' Look Like A Sunday School Picnic" By ALAN WARD Sam Landy, slim, dark and dapper, is the perfect type for a big-time movie gambler. That's as it should be. Sam for more than 30 years has been a gambler of consequence and currently is a vice-president of the Dunes Hotel and Country Club in Las Vegas.

But it is Landy's association with the movies, the roulette wheels, blackjack and crap games of Las Vegas, which is the theme of this composition. The stylish chap from Vegas, who as a young man consecutively was a dealer, student rabbi and a high school physical education instructor, dropped into The Tribune for a quick hello, and remained 90 minutes on-finding his interviewer had an academic but non-working interest in the science of gambling. Landy's knowledge of the bright and dark sides of gambling in the Las Vegas manner is so encyclopedic he has acted as technical director and adviser' for 20th Century and M-G-M pictures featuring a pastime lightly referred to as "games of chance." And, so completely does he symbolize the tight-lipped, polished casino boss or games attendant he In fact, he wouldn't ThTreTa mustached dealer for a casino he'd operate. "People don't entirely trust men with mustaches," he explained simply, an observation which shouldn't add to his overall popularity. He has positive theories on the manner in which money cart be won at a casino, but this writer doesn't intend going into that matter at length.

He'd rather give it serious thought, not to mention a couple more interviews with Landy. Who knows, maybe that system REALLY works? Just before he departed, bound for Las Vegas and the Dunes (with perhaps a speech or two along the way) Sam hurriedly mentioned the luxurious spa of which he is a vice president; has a multi-million dollar Shown at 7 and 9:15 Park 18 835-3535 PARKWAY CINEMA has played cameo roles in some of the pictures he helped direct. In real life Landy is far from tight-lipped. He is pleasantly loquacious and talks with a fluidity and precision attributable to his rabbinical training. In fact, so at home is Sam on the lecture platform he has given hundreds of talks on gamblingor gaming? throughout the nation.

He calls himself "The Professor of Chance." He has a sense of humor and of the dramatic. He is about to make a recording of his patter. He may prove another Allan Sherman in that field. Sam invaded the movies as technical director and part-time actor years ago with the movie "Any Number Can Play," starring Clark Gable, Alexis Smith, Wendell Corey and a few other notables. "The best, the most authentic gambling picture ever filmed," said Landy.

As he tells it, he experienced a few problems with writers, but inasmuch as he was given carte blanche by Louis B. Mayer he contrived "casino scenes with which his fellow pros could find no fault. "For example," related Landy, "in the original script one of the dealers made reference to 'Lady Luck'. I threw it out. It.

wasn't authentic. Every bit of gambling equipment used in the picture could have belonged to a big-time gambling casino. I wanted it and it was." Other pictures with a strong gambling theme to which Landy loaned his talents were "Powder River" and "Please one night and Jackson Hole, Wvfeminsr the next.

Although he features some of the old favorites hi his act, he never lacks for new material and is regularly adding new songs to supplement the old.

He has also remained active in the recording field. His next recording "I Just Destroyed the World I'm Living In," will be released soon. All in all, it has been a great 18 years for Rusty Draper. He shows no signs of slowing, and could possibly go another 18 years. That's all right with me, and probably with thousands of others in the Bay Area.

Looking for a pleasant mid-week diversion? Suggest you drop into the Maya Cocktail Lounge of the La Morena Restaurant at 1229 23rd Oakland. Eddie Diaz serves the best margarita in town which is reason enough if your hooked on margaritas. But an even better reason is Carlos and Manuel," now appearing there Wednesday-through-Saturday nights. The setting is lovely, an air of friendliness prevails and you'll enjoy the vast repertoire of Mexican songs Carlos' and Manuel offer. And if you have a favorite, chances are they know it.

Just ask. You'll find them quite accomodating. SAN LORENZO VILLAGE I nnrH7fl San Lorenzo Village lalinXiIlliU Phone: 276-4675 Best Film! Best Actress of the Year!
