THREE SUBURBAN indoorsmen join a more rugged friend on a canoe trip thru the rough white water of a north Georgia wilderness river and learn in very painful ways that it's not nice to fool Human Nature. That summarizes the action of John Boorman's superb film rendering of James Dickey's best-selling novel about many things, including the not-so-fine line between civilization and humanity.

His "Deliverance" is so visually strong that it would make an excellent silent movie. In fact, the few patches of "message" dialog stand out like sore themes. Boorman's film is an adventure story first and foremost, and the action at times is so demanding that it approaches being physically painful Parking their car at a shack near the river, the four Sunday canoeists play out their characters in their very first scene.

Lewis, Burt Repolds the rugged one and organizer of the trip, attempts to bully some local boys into driving the car to meet them at the end of the river. He gives them money with disdain. Ed John VoightJ, a more gentle, family man, who appears to be on the trip because he thinks he should stretch his psyche, observes Lewis' brutishness with a little wince and a little more admiration. Bobby Ned Beatty is a bachelor with a beer gut, pork-pie hat, and a too-loud voice who probably comes across to the natives as a creature from outer space. He's the kind who really would put a Budweiser label on the bottom of his swim- last Features Friday 11 p.m.

filmed the fragile "McCabe and Mrs. Miller." Actors Voight and Reynolds did most of their own canoeing, and Zsigmond's camera catches the force of the rapids on their flimsy crafts with unparalleled clarity. Fans of the Dickey novel may find fault with the movie in that the philosophical ideas contained in that book seems to be carelessly tacked on or missing from the film version. But Boorman, by filming "Deliverance" as a horror story, involves us with our emotions and ideas whereas the novel was to be admired at a greater distance as an excellent piece of writing. Not for the faint-hearted, "Deliverance," in its own way, may be the most exciting motion picture in my eigners be reduced that we hang on the music as if it were the last vestige of civilization we shall ever see.

And it is. Not long after setting out in their canoes, Lewis, Ed, Bobby, and Drew are confronted by two mountain men who do unspeakable, bestial things to Bobby and threaten even worse for Ed. The remainder of the film covers the battle between the canoeists and their human and natural adversaries. It is a gripping horror story that at times may force you to look away from the screen, but it is so beautifully filmed that your eyes will eagerly return. Credit for the visual excellence of "Deliverance" must be shared by Boorman with his director of photography, Vilmos Zsigmond, who also NURSES! Come in uniform and be our guests at 8:45 a.m.

MONROI CC 4-IJ40 latter shifted to the nine of spades and South put up the ace. Declarer appeared to be on the verge of success, for with any normal division in clubs, he could expect to take five club tricks, two diamonds, two hearts, and three spades. He tested the clubs first by cashing the queen and then leading over to North's jack. When West showed out, discarding a heart on the second round South's trick total was temporarily reduced to 11. Declarer had several things going for him, however.

East was known to have five clubs and his shift to the nine of spades presumably marked West with the outstanding length in that suit. If this were, in fact, the case neither opponent could protect diamonds as declarer cashed out his side and the diamond suit would ultimately produce a 12th trick for South. The ace and king of clubs were cashed on which South discarded the deuce of spades and the deuce of diamonds. West realized from his partner's shift to a high spade, that he would have to retain his holding in that suit. He put off his discarding problems temporarily by disposing of his remaining hearts the nine and ten.

South now cashed the ace of hearts and led over to his queen. West was obliged to give up the six and seven of diamonds. The king and queen of spades came next on which dummy parted first with the three of diamonds and then the four of clubs as both opponents followed suit. West was known to have started with one club and four hearts. Since he was presumed to hold the fourth spade, this would indicate that he also began with four diamonds.

Since he had already discarded two cards in that suit, the outstanding diamonds appeared to be divided two-two.

Altho North's hand is worth 19 points including distribution, usually sufficient for an immediate jump shift response when partner opens the bidding, the presence of a potential misfit caused him to adopt a more cautious approach initially.

He contented himself with a temporizing one round force by responding with two clubs. South's rebid of two no trump shows roughly the equivalent of an opening no trump bid (the actual range is 15-18 high card points. North was now determined to reach a slam and made one more try for a suit contract by bidding three diamonds. When South merely returned to three no trump, North abandoned further ex-, ploration and proceeded directly to six no trump. West opened the ten of hearts, the deuce was played from dummy and East won the trick with the king.
