THE LAWTON CONSTITUTION-MORNING PRESS, Sunday, June 15, 1958 27 BILLBOARD bu mil eraa'fora THE BIG NEWS on the movie marquee this week is the Wednesday opening of "Around The World In SO Days" at (he Vaska theatre. It's scheduled to run through July 1 and could be held over by popular demand. The late Mike Todd's film extravaganza, which grabbed armloads of Oscars as (he "year's best" two years ago, is truly a big splash of ii motion picture and highly cnlcrtaining. by the way. We go along with the billing that "Around The World In SO Days" is out of this world, and we think you will, too, once you've seen it.

Taken frcm Jules Verne's classic. Todd cohorts spent several years in. filming the movie which actually was shot around the world. Of particular local interest will be some flashes of the nearby Wichita Mountains and a horde of area Todd "whirlwinclcci through the Wichitas for two days back "in October of 1935 to shoot a few quick scenes of the Wichitas' shaggy buffaloes and an Indian "encampment" at the former Cra- tcrvillc Park site. Majority of the Indian scenes, however," were filmed on location in Durango.

and for this reason any southwest Oklahoman seeing the movie will probably smirk as the camera pans back and forth a couple of times between the Wichitas and the sprawling Colorado mountains in one or two of the sequences. The principal role of Phileas Fogg is played by Englishman David Niven. on a wager from some of his London Reform club buddies, circles the globe in SO days circa 1872. Mexico's No. 1 comic.

Cantin- flas. is. Nivcn's "valet" Passe- partout, and Shirley MacLaine is cast as Princess Aouda. Nobody else but Todd could have done it, but he talked more than 40 big-name Hollywood stars to play "cameo" bits in "Around The World In SO Days." Some of the "supporting players" never speak a line and show- up in different scenes as "extras." FOR INSTANCE. Frank Sinatra pops up as a Barbary Coast piano player back in the early days of San Boyer is a hotel clerk, Red Skclton plays drunk, and so on.

Among the "cameos," which makes the movie even more interesting because you're always looking to see what star will pop up an extra in a scene, include Marlcne Dietrich, Charles Coburn, Fcrnandcl. Peter Lorrc. Jack Oakie. Andy Devinc, the late Robert Colcman. Jose Grecco, George a and many, many others.

Incidentally, more than 68.894 people from" 13 different countries appear in the long movie. And some four million air miles were flown during the fiim with more than 680,000 feet of color film shot during the process.
