What is for certain and thus a source of hope is that they wili never again be quite the same. Hall of Fame Picks Wayne OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI) The National Cowboy Hall of Fame will use an armored stagecoach to notify John Wayne of his election to the hall's board of trustees. The coach, a replica of an ironclad stage used in the 1870s, was at the hall of fame as part of an 18-city visit promoting "The War' Wagon," ayne's latest movie.

Wayne's commission will be given to him at the world premiere of the movie in Dallas May 27. Wayne will serve as one of four trustees from California. The board has representatives from 17 'Blow-Up' Favored at Cannes CANNES, France (JB The movie "Blow-Up," a joint Italian -British-United States effort but entered here by Great Britain, was shown Monday at the Cannes Film Festival and immediately loomed as a major contender for the prize as best film. "Blow-Up" was shot in London under the direcJ i of Michaelangelo Antonioni, with financing from Metro I n-Mayer. The general feeling among critics was that the prize for best film probably would go to "Blow-Up" or the Swedish picture "Elvira Madigan," a tenderly told story of a short, passionate and tragic love affair.

"Accident," another British picture directed by American expatriate Joseph Losej', was rated an outside possibility. NATIONAL. GENERAL CORPORATION WEST COAST THEATRES CD.

Consequently, we begin to devour each other in a vain attempt to satisfy our vicarious needs. Yet amidst such pessimism springs the perhaps cruel paradox of hope. Bergman remains the doubter who can't quite disbelieve, the filmmaker who, in creating the illusion of fragmentation, has ironically achieved an aesthetic unity and thus meaning. Ray Film Pictures an Emerging India "Like all my previous films," says India's top director Satyajit Ray, "'Kanchenjungha' is concerned with the old and the new." Although this remarkable movie (at the Ivar) indeed deals with Ray's familiar theme of the painful emergence of modern India, it is quite different from the rest of his work. It is his first in color, its setting is contemporary Europeans are seen frequently in the background for the first time in a Ray film and, most surprising, its tone is quite close to Antonioni.

Set in the British-founded mountain resort of Darjeeling, which reflects the film's cosmopolitan character, "Kanchenjungha" takes place in the town's beautiful park, Observatory Hill. On the last afternoon of its stay, the large family of a powerful Bengali financier takes a stroll that leads to a series of encounters for its members, each of whom for a brief moment at least comes face to face with himself. It is in this way that Ray resembles the Antonioni of "Le Amiche" the beach sequence and "L'Avventura" the search for the girl on the 'island.

In short, she seems destined to be as unhappy as her mother and her older sister have been before her in their arranged marriages. But in the park an old man, once her brother's tutor, approaches the financier with the hope of persuading him to get his nephew a job. By the end of the afternoon the younger daughter finds this young stranger from a lower class far more appealing than her intended fiance, her sister and brother-in-law have faced up to the truth about their miserable marriage, and, above all, the imperious father's sense of implacable authority has been challenged by that stranger, who had had the audacity to turn down his offer of a lucrative job. Young Generation Now none of this is as neat and thus artificial as it sounds, which is the strength of "Kanchenjungha," which takes its name from the snowy peak third highest in the world that overlooks Darjeeling and can serve as a symbol of the aspirations of India's young generation. Throughout, Ray has been careful to maintain a feeling of ten-tativeness that prevents us from assuming that merely because his people have each had their moments of truth they -you're a hte bnt nJ iff "Adventure on the grand scalel -ul: 2r ACAOIMT AWARD WINNiRI If it Cirtaaa Ii LLjrUlll EVES, at 8:00 HERB ALPERT the TIJUANA BRASS 1 westwood AWARD nniini criTiiniT wf TTtryourn MATINEES I TIMS aiuuDLL rtniunc coior lia.

If so, this perhaps explains why the Elizabethan dramatists and Hhe Greek tragedians, who lived in times of religious solidarity, could achieve greatness, a universality, while modern playwrights at best catch a random ray of truth with fragments and shards. Religion defines reality for society, and when religion loses its grip it becomes the task of the individual to define reality for himself hence, that well-known concern of contemporary plays and pictures, the lack of communication.

Such is the train of thought provoked by "Persona" (at the Crest), Ingmar Bergman's best film since "Wild Strawberries" best because unlike his so-called Dark Trilogy "Winter Light," 'PERSONA' An AS Svensk Filmindustrl production releosed through Looert Pictures.

Editor: Ulla Rygne. 1 ii i "Through a Glass Darkly" and "The Silence" he really succeeds in communicating the lack of communication that is the result of the loss of faith in God. For the first time in the years of his increasing abstraction Bergman has found the perfect metaphorthe mask of classic tragedy to express his feelings about God, man and art.

His title "Persona" refers to the roles one may play on stage or screen and, finally, life itself. Thus, the movie works on at least three levels of meaning yet draws strength from the simplicity of its surfact story. In the midst of a performance of "Electra" a cele- BEST FSCTURZQFTI.ZYEAn.

She becomes the charge of a nurse (Bib Andersson, in a remarkable performance that amounts to a virtual mo-nolog), who takes her to a remote island with the hope that she will regain her sanity in an atmosphere of beauty and serenity. In her loneliness the nurse, who strikingly resembles her silent patient, starts to assume this woman's identity. A Reminder From the first frame Bergman reminds us from time to time that we're watching a movie by simulating breaks in the film. Preceding the credits is a montage of terrifying ima-ges of birth, death, slaughter, pain, suffering and isolation. Most striking is a subsequently repeated shot of a spike being driven through a hand.
