52.30, 2.00, 1.30 Students Half Price At Auditorium 033-3722 WINNER OF 2 ACADEMY AWARDS could well belong to the 43th annual Oscar race, which is off and running. The film companies spend about $1 million to tout their achievements to the 3, voting members of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. That's about 53,000 per vote. Where does the money go? In special screenings, trade paper ads, newspaper ads, publicists' salaries, mail campaigns. Is the outlay worth it? The answer is a resounding yes to the winner.

The French Connection, last years big winner, added more than So million in income for 20th Century-Fox after it collected Oscars for best picture, best actor (Gene Hackman) and best director (William Friedkin). And so the campaigns continue. The academy has warned against vulgar displays" and time has proved that hard-sell tactics merely alienate voters. The mam purpose of the campaigns is to call the voters attention to achievements that might otherwise be overlooked. The front-runner this year is The Godfather.

You don't have to try as hard when you're no. 1. but Paramount isn't neglecting the race. We'll have a very low-key campaign. said a spokesman.

We've sent personal letters to voters inviting them to screenings if they haven't seen The Godfather or if they'd like to see it again. Elvis action METRO-GOLOWYN-MAYER Pr.t.ntt A story of love.

treat of appreciate fans. He does. He admits early in the documentary he is always nervous before he goes on stage and, for that reason, only shows up in the dressing room minutes before. And he says he doesn't let his company get comfortable, either. He strives for an air of excitement by being excited himself.

And it works. The films musical repertoire includes items like Thats All Right, Johnny B. Goode, Proud Mary, Never Been to Spain, Polk Salad Annie, Love Me Tender, American Trilogy, and Funny How Time Slips Away. And it was interesting to note that when Elvis introduced his latest hit. Burning Love, on tour, he was humble enough to carry a sheet of paper so he made sure of the words.

Basically, it's the story of Elvis on a rigorous tour, bedecked in his sequin-beaded clothes, low-cut shirts, free-flowing scarfs. There are some TV flashbacks to an appearance with Ed Sullivan and some brief flashbacks to some of the romantic roles he played in movies.

Technically, the highlights of the 90-minute film are the solit-screen images, which often give the viewer three glimpses of an event occurring on stage. In reality, Elvis On Tour is like a television special. That's the kind of entertainment package it is.

But TV, of course, cant provide the kind of sound and camera work that a motion picture can. Honest and hard work by tne Sweet Inspirations and J. D. Suner and the Stamps is evident throughout. The true-blue Elvis fans will get the shivers in the spine.

I will, the actress replied. Hayden also assented to the same vow. The couple turned towards each other and embraced, and the onlookers applauded. The minister commented: Although clapping is sufficient, one more thing has to be said.

Sisters and brothers, you have heard what Jane and Tom have promised. I declare they are married. Miss Fonda recently was divorced from her first husband, French fi'm d. rector Roger Vadim. She was awarded an Oscar last vear for her role as a call girl Klute.
