HumBug Version of 'Scrooge' -1 4-" V. 1 "Thank You Very Much" seemed to me at first hearing to, be catchier than any in "Chips." Dickens the court reporter knew Victorian London in all its harsh miseries and desperate poverty but in "A Christmas Carol" he evoked that one day of the year on which hope seemed possible and joy inevitable. And it is his celebration of tenderness, togetherness and hope reborn whicb, gives "A Christmas Carol" its lasting popularity. Neame has reprised that snow-bright and roseate Victorian Christmas, of roast geese, mulled wine and urchins caroling, scarfs and sleighs and a settled-world. He has captured it' in an economical and stylized way, but in its big moments the tumultuous celebration of his "death" by those who had bor- Continued from First Page "Scrooge" is full of odd delights.

Alec Guinness, powdered white and hung with chains is Jacob Marley's surprisingly campy ghost. Dame Edith Evans in full-throated warble is the Spirit of Christmas Past and Kenneth More, wearing a mistletoe wig and a wall-to-wall greatcoat, is the Spirit of Christmas Present, which includes a very funny cocktail party at the home of Scrooge's nephew. More and Scrooge fly in the best Peter Pan tradition. Like "Goodbye Mr. Chips," "Scrooge" is not so much a movie musical as a movie with music.

And like his work for "Chips," Bricusse's songs for "Scrooge" are affable rather than distinguished or memorable, although the best of them "I Hate People," "I Like Life" and Anfiony Perkins, left, Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman are featured in "WUSA," film about an itinerant disc Jockey enmeshed in political activities of a conservative radio station. Film opens run Wednesday at Grauman's Chinese. mm mmM 1 4 ANAHEIM, BROOKHURST PR.2-6446 Hello Dolly with Barbra Streisand ANAHEIM, Brookhurst LOGE-956-1122 wuacfcser Fortune; Jume Moon ANAHEIM, Garden KE. 5-0148, ct. 12 Enka's Hot Summer; Marnaqe Manual BALBOA, Fellini's Satyricon; Zabriskie Point BREA, BREA THEATRE 529-4236 How I love Thee; Suppose Gave war BUENA PARK, Soace Thina: Orav of the Dead CORONA DEL MAR, Sabata; Barquero COSTA MESA, CINEMA-546-3102 Monte Walsh: The Hawaiians COSTA MESA, MESA-548-1552 House Dark Shadows; Hornets' Nest FULLERTON, WILSHIRE-lAmbert 5-5777 Soldier Blue(R): Rider on the Ram GARDEN GROVE, On a Clear Davt The Hawaiians HUNTINGTON BEACH, CINEMA 847-9608 MASH; The Grasshopper(R) HUNTINGTON BEACH, John Severson Pacific Vibrations LAGUNA, SOUTH COAST-494-1514 Gettina Straiaht(R) LAGUNA NIGUEL, Niguel House of Dark Shadows(GP) NEWPORT CINEMA, Cst.
