New non-military residents are permitted to vote as soon as they have lived in the state one year and six months in the county. The voting privilege would be restricted to voting only in the county in which the individual resided when he entered the service regardless of the length of his residence in another county. To vote at all, he would in most instances have to vote absentee.

Absentee voting is not permitted in some states. It is entirely possible that an individual who entered the service in another state ALL SF.ATS 50c at his neighbors across the courtyard, a varied lot whose lives contribute a number of engrossing subplots to the main story. At least, these subplots are engrossing until one of them becomes the central theme when Stewart sees some action across the courtyard that leads him to believe that murder has been done. From here on, "Rear Window" becomes an electrifying experience that brings the audience right into the action, carrying them along on a brisk tide of thrills and humor until the crackling climax that should bring viewers right out of their seats. In relating this suspenseful tale, the Hitchcock hand was never more skillful, the acting was never better, the photography never more effective and the excitement never keener.

A very rich supply of entertainment here, and, of its kind, a veritable masterpiece.

Among those who'll be around to enliven the informal atmosphere this weekend is Lenell Green, Austin's own version of the "Red Hot Mama," who'll share floor show duties Friday night with Grady Stapp, the ragtime piano specialist. The Saturday night session will find a group composed of Marilyn Bronson, Max Gardner and Pryor holding down the stage with an assortment of songs, dances and a very distinctive rtyle of comedy.

'REAR WINDOW' A Paramount picture, produced and directed by Alfred Hitchcock, screen play by John Michael Hayes. At the Paramount. Jeff James Stewart Lisa Grace Kelly Doyle Wendell Corey Thelma Ritter Thorwald Raymond Burr Composer, Ross Bagdasarian Miss Torso Georgine Darcy Alfred Hitchcock, the acknowledged master of screen suspense, has turned out a great many gems during his career as a producer-director, but he'll have to go to great lengths to come up with a picture sharper than this one. A topgrade mystery thriller that mixes its suspense with a unique brand of comedy, "Rear Window" shows Hitchcock to his very best advantage a man who can turn the commonplace into the terrifying, who can take an everyday situation and make it a sinister episode merely by an offbeat camera angle or a timely fade-out. This film tells of James Stewart, a news photographer confined by a broken leg to a wheelchair in his Greenwich Village apartment.
