CK0W ttarring at the Paramount musical, "A Star Born." BY EDWIN SCHALLERT While Don Defore had originally been mentioned for "Wiretapper," to be produced by Richard Ross of Great Commission Films, the choice is now Bill Williams. This means quite an acquisition, because Williams is restricted to certain definite screen features by his video sponsors. They insist an engagement must in no wise offend the child audience he has gained for his Kit Carson show.

So far this year he has only made "Outlaw's Daughter." "Wiretapper" is the story of Jim Voss and his reformation. Formerly involved in rackets, Voss now heads the Missionary Communications Service and whatever he receives from the picture will be dedicated to this. Producer Ross, formerly under contract to Warners as an actor, has been associated with Billy Graham and Colleen Townsend in religious pictures. He will start "Wiretapper" tomorrow. Because of its emphasis on good deeds paying off, Williams was permitted by his sponsors to appear.

The picture incorporates an exciting gangster story. Incidentally, it wa3 pressure of his TV work that prevented Defore from accepting the assignment. CONFLICT OVER TITLE HOVERS ON HORIZON Title "Wiretapper" reminds that Columbia also has a story, "The Wire Tappers," taken from "The Talking Bug" by Mildred and Gordon Gordon.

The most gratifying event of the two sessions was easily "Petrouchka" on Saturday night.

Igor Stravinsky appeared on the conductor's stand to direct a score whose fascination and originality increase rather than diminish with time, and while the orchestra was not quite equal to all its severe demands it was no mean pleasure to hear the music as the composer meant it to sound, Fokine Format Nicholas Beriosoff's reconstruction of the original Fokine choreography made all the salient points of a work still unsurpassed in fantasy and richness of invention and the performance achieved an admirable degree of tension with Keith Beckett as Petrouchka, Anita Landa as the doll, Louis Godfrey as the Moor and Beriosoff as the charlatan. The most exciting episodes of the two programs were the appearances of Nora Kovach and Istan Rabovsky the widely publicized refugees from the Iron Curtain in the pas de deux from "Don Quixote" and Rabovsky as the Po-lovstian chief in "Prince Igor." Nimble Feats Both dancers are schooled in a style a little strange to contemporary ballet in that it places more reliance on feats of an acrobatic character rather than on conventional dance techniques. But both are masters of the style, with vivid personalities, a dashing sense of the stage, and enormous and unflagging vitality. Together and separately they whipped the audience to a pitch of enthusiasm not approached by any other of the company's offerings. Both Saturday's and yesterday's programs opened in conventional manner with the second act of "Swan Lake" in an extended version embracing a pas de trois and several solo variations for the secondary characters not ordinarily included.

Sparkle Missing Tamara Toumanova made a reappearance as the Swan Queen after many years' absence, and though she is still a beautiful woman and a correct dancer she failed to bring much individuality or any particular sparkle to her impersonation. Nicholai Polajenko managed himself well as the Prince, if without any espe cial brilliance. Michael Hogan was also on the lackluster side in his additional opportuni ties as Benno, but Marilynn Burr, and Dianne Richards were attractive and skillful as the two.leadihg swans. 4311 toll tf nly: ZEnith 7431 "GREATEST 'ik.

CRITICS VOTE BRANDO, GARLAND TOP STARS Period of screen polls is beginning to get into high. Famous fives have been announced by the Film Daily with Marlon Brando in "On the Waterfront" and Judy Garland novelty Saturday night and "Alice in Wonderland" was new yesterday afternoon. The former is the second act of a ballet by Beriosoff with nondescript music by Cesare Pugni, based on Victor Hugo's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," but the content' of this excerpt scarcely justifies the elaborate costumes and decor of Nicola Benois. In its present form it lacks any discernible story line and consists merely of a series of not very enlivening divertissements.

Brilliant Technique 'It displayed an interesting new dancer in Oleg Briansky, a brilliant technician in little Violette Verdy, and found Miss Toumanova, supported by agile John Gilpin, in much more "convincing form than she exhibited in "Swan Lake." in Wonderland," with Michael Charnley's choreography and an empty score by Joseph Horovitz, recounts Alice's adventures with such immortal Lewis Carroll characters as the Duchess, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and the Knave of Hearts, to name but a few. Kenneth Rowell's brilliant costumes, patterned after the original Tenniel drawings, are more successful than his rather indifferent decor, and the piece is most engaging in the lesser episodes played to readings of Carroll's verse. Otherwise it takes an "Alice" expert to make much sense of the overloaded action. Besides Mr. Stravinsky, the conductors were Geoffrey Corbett and Robert Zeller.

American Plays Big in Sweden STOCKHOLM, Dec. 26 iBl American plays have drawn the big theater audiences in Stockholm this autumn. Biggest cash register success is John Patrick's "The Teahouse of the August Moon." Hasse Ekman, a soft-spoken movie actor, ha3 the lead. Herman Wouk's "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial" is another ringing success. Lars Hanson, Sweden's most distinguished actor, is probably the senior (68 years) among those who have played Capt.

Queeg. He won critical praise for his carefully worked out demonstration of Queeg's mental development, th i6hti est stdryof Truth andTemptatioh ever vritten, ever imd! 1 Vnrw THOMAS B.COSTAIN'S MIGHTY BEST-SELLER!

SCHEUER A submarine has just the right shape for.

the elongated CinemaScope screen; and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," in which a submarine appears, seems equally right in its proportions as the sea son most adventurous motion picture. Walt Disney produced it, live; Kirk Douglas, James Ma son, Paul Lukas, Peter Lorre and a couple of giant squids star in it; the film is in Technicolor a3 well as Cinema-Scope, and the theater is the Fox Wilshire. Whatever liberties have been taken with the Jules Verne classic has been combined with his "Mys terious will probably justify themselves with today's audience. Even science- fiction fans are likely to be impressed by the wonders seen both inside and outside the sub Capt. Nemo's Nauti lus and the explosion of something suspiciously like the atom bomb will not go un noticed for its ominous over tones and its meaning in the present day.

Ahead of His Time The year, however, is 1868. The bomb, the undersea craft (shaped like a swordfish and powered thermodynamically), the diving suits and otjier ad vanced contraptions are the inventions of Capt. Nemo, who is explained as being ahead of his time. 'Way ahead! Nemo, you see, suffered cruelly at the hands of an unnamed nation, his family was mur- dered, and he and his-crew are out to "get" anything or anybody that sails the seas. The world, knowing noth- ing of this, is thoroughly alarmed at reports that a "monster" is sinking ships right and left in the Pacific Kirk Douglas, a harpooner; Lukas, a professor, and Lorre, his assistant, thus find them selves aboard a armed frigate detailed to locate and destroy the "monster." But the thing which is, of course, the Nautilus beats them to the punch and splinters the frigate.

'Guests' on Sub Our three men, the sole sur vivors (after all, this is ele mentary storytelling) clam ber aboard the sub, where they are allowed after a dousing "test" to remain as "guests" of the moody captain, Nemo. He is played, and wonderfully well, by James Mason in a beard.

Technically the film is a marvel itself, with actual underwater shots made in the Bahamas alternating with surface scale models that defy detection as such. Douglas, at his swaggering best, not only gives voice to a sea chantey but also engages comical give-and-take with Lorre and (the Disney touch) a trained seal.

Lukas makes a respectable, if bewildered, scientist. Mason's achievement is that he lends depth and dimension to the stock figure of the "mad genius. The proof: he some times seems more to be pitied than scorned. Sci-FicJob Direction is by Richard Fleischer from the screenplay of Earl Felton. The picture is distributed by Disney's own Buena Vista.

As a sci-fic job, "20,000 Leagues" is the ablest since the previous year's "War of the Worlds." But it, too, has its terrifying aspects, so discretion is recommended where impressionable youngsters are concerned. Nearly everyone else should find the voyage exhilarating.
