Show Page 2 ANYTHING GOES understand from the newspapers and radio that during the past few years quite a number of movie houses have closed their doors because of lack of patronage. The theory is that too many people are . Thursday, January 28, I960 THE VALLEY VIEW NEWS I staying home watching television instead of wasting their time going to the theaters. There is probably a lot of truth to this. After all its easier to sit home and watch a lousy movie on T.V. than it is to drive twenty miles and sit in a stuffy theater to watch a lousy movie. I think one reason why people are staying away in droves is that they are beginning to suspect that what they say about the movie on the placard on the outside is not what you see when you go inside. If a manufacturer filled a bottle with tap water and stated on the label that it contains orange juice people would only buy it once and then stop buying. This would probably never happen because the public is protected in this respect from unlawful and illegal advertising. But this is not true when it comes to movies. Not only do people . keep going back for more time after time, but theres no law to stop advertising agencies from telling outright lies to get people to lay down a buck to see a movie that is not as advertised. A case in point is a movie currently attracting people all over the United States. Its The greatest story of fate and flesh known to our time (or so the hucksters say), and its called THE MIRACLE. Actually its a fair show and I wouldnt say that seeing it was a total waste of time, effort and money. But the thing that amazed me was the fact that some one had the unmitigated gall to give a very unaccurate description of the movie on the placard outside. First of all it said that Youll remember forever, the Flaming pillage of Miraflores. Lust crazed Grenadiers beyond control. Let me describe this scene for you. Ill admit that there was a building or two on fire but Ive seen bigger conflagrations in my own incinerator in the back yard. The scene of the lust crazed Grenadiers was when a soldier put his hand on a girls shoulder like he was cutting in on someone at a high school dance. Before he got a chance to make his intentions known a gypsy w. n, Whats New at the Library? av threw a knife in his back and that was the end of that. The next big event I was looking for was the "Ancient gypsy duel of death. Brother against brother for a beautiful girl. This one went over my head somewhat. I remember two brothers fighting but this was all in jest. They scrambled around a bit, laughing all the while. This is a great sport between brothers. It lets off a little steam and as long as no one gets hurt a good time is had by all. And this they called the duel of death! One brother does get killed but it was because the other brother ratted on him and brought the soldiers to the hideout. The soldiers took aim at about a hundred yards away and filled the guy full of lead. If there was a duel to the death I must have blinked my eyes and missed the whole thing. This next one I was really looking forward to. The sign outside said, You will remember always, the strange curse of the Corrida. The most terrifying bullfight of all. This was really a corker. This joker makes with the cape for a while and confuses the bull no end. Nothing exciting so far. But then the idiot, instead of paying attention to the game upstages the bull to smile at a gal in the audience. He turns his back on the bull, and the bull, being the more intelligent of the two, seizes his opportunity and charges the toreador. He places one horn where he figures it would do the most good, flips his head and the bullfighter makes a somersault, land on his head and breaks his neck. This is an accurate description of The most terrifying bullfight of all. The last, but by no means least, experience was yet to come. I kept my eyes glued to the screen to see The Phantom of the Chapel. A craven image that lives and breaths. This one went completely over my head. I must have dozed off for a minute because the whole thing escaped me. Another bit of misleading advertising came when they described the leading man as all man and every bit as exciting. Now I dont profess to be any authority on exciting men but this guy should have had a label on him. So there you are. If you hurry you can still see this movie locally. Its being held over for a second big week.

Barlocker Campaign (Continued from Page 1) daughter of George and Maud Moss Seegmiller, residents of St. George, a son and a daughter. Mr. Barlocker was educated in the local schools at Cedar City and St. George and is a graduate of Dixie College. During World War II he served in the U.S. Air Force and following the war resumed the turkey operation he had started before entering military service. The candidate commented, "I am frequently queried respecting the general subject matter of taxation. If a knowledge of the past is a key to the future, we shall always have taxes and as the people continue to demand more services, such services will have to be paid for. However, by following good business practices I feel we can continue these services people require and still take steps to reduce taxes. I for one, feel that taxes in Utah are completely out of reason. Since becoming Mayor at St. George, I have done something about this problem. By streamlining my administration and effecting certain efficiencies and economies I succeeded in reducing the city tax by over 10 per cent. If elected Governor, I intend to put into effect during my administration certain economies and improvements which will not only reduce the tax burden but will, at the same time, improve state administrative services to the public. In other words, I favor a progressive program but would expect a full dollars worth of value for every tax dollar spent. We all want prosperity. But the prosperity we want must not be lopsided. It should be a prosperity that results from an expanding economy with full shares for all businessman, farmers, working people, the young and the elderly. We seek a prosperity for Utah that insures greater social justice.
