He has assumed the Identity 61 in Armenian named Hohanness, who came to a tragic end on shipboard assumed it because he himself faces probable deportation.

But the Irish immigration officer, repeating the name Hohanness, jovially suggests that," in America, the youth might get along better if he v. changed it to "Joe Arness." He could have added if he had known all we know bout Stavros, Topouzoglou that at this late date one more -corruption wouldn't matter too much, For in "ijnerica this young man, this John a-dream, has. gone through much of. degradation, despair and suffering, 'both mental and physical, in order to reach-, the Promised Land. It is one hell of a price to.

pay for a privilege that millions of us now. take for granted But Stavros has paid for it if not gladly, then by somehow keeping his dream shining no matter how soiled he himself may have become. "I believe that in America I can be washed clean," we have heard him It kind 6f makes you think. And that, to be sure, is just what Elia Kazan had in mind, when he wrote (a first time), directed and pro-" duced this engrossing, sometimes -moving Warner re-' leasea distinguished last-week-of-the-year entry at the Beverly Theater "America America" is very nearly what I might call an ORIGINAL original, for certainly there has never been anything quite like it bvfore f. I 1 'Devices as Attention Getters 7- Thi technique is startling, but' It fa cinematic sort of half-New Wave, half-old Kazan.

At the beginning, especially, there is a great deal of yelling and running around that is not clear; the abruptness of some direct cnts is disconcerting, and it is often difficult to orientate ourselves to a new time and place. But these devices tk succeed in keeping us on our mettle no 6mall achievement in view of the picture's length, a potentially exhausting three hours. Stavros is first discovered in Anatolia, where the Greek and Armenian minorities are victims of Turkish tyranny. It is 1896. Entrusted with the family he departs for Constantinople, supposedly to seek employment with an uncle, a rug dealer, there.

But he has set his sights higher on America. En route he encounters all sorts of types cynical, cruel, even murderous and occasionally kind and helpful. There are hit-and-run adventures of all kinds, but the film really focuses in depth in the episode with the family of a Qreek girl he is marrying for her dowry. Stathis Glallelii gradually opens out; from an enigmatic inner self to- a man fighting for his very survival the actor, like his performance, grows on one. In a film filled with great faces, standouts are etched by Lou Antonio, a Turkish villain of villains; Linda Marsh as the pensive Greek girl and Paul Mann as her Burt Ivesy father; John Marley and Frank Wolff as Bfcouple of benefactors, and Gregory Rozakis as the tubercular Armenian youth.

America America. Stavros Topouzoglou makes it hard way. TTf plesssnce Great as 'Guest' 'The old 'man's word, for it is "nutty" and nutty it is, all right.1 Harold Pinter adapted his comedy of. the absurd, "The Caretaker," for the screen and it Is here today at the Encore Theater. Only, its new title is The'Guest." Guest or caretaker, he is really just an old bum who is taken in by two brothers and, at the end, tossed out, "What am I goin' ta do?" he.

cries despairingly. No answer; the picture has ended. In between the taking in' and the tossingout, the brothers have tortured him unmercifully physically in small ways and mentally in big- ways. As in the play, the "action" takes place in the one dingy upstairs room where the brothers briefly but the camera ventures outside a'couDle of times. 4jft ar.
