K;ss of Death is the first film can ASST X : oily od '- In Review I To k- i V remake of the 1947 film of the same name. Since not many people know about the original, the only real pressure the film had was the question of whether or not Caruso would be able to make the transition from television to film. I le has. This guy was born to act. Basically, if it had been anyone else in his role, I wouldn't have been nearly as interested. Caruso, with his soft voice, is able to make even the most insignificant dialogue jump out at you. The softest whisper carries the impact of a scream. Caruso couldn't have picked a better project to make his film jump to. He is backed by stylish directing and several strong supporting performances. Caruso's Kilmartin is both and extension and a contrast of John Kelly, the character Caruso played on Blue. Kiss of for anyone Death is a must-se- e whom Kelly ever appealed to. If anything, see it just to count the dimensions Caruso a brings to his role. You'll need calculator. Kss of Death is rated R for strong language, nudity, lence and adult themes. vio- Christian Hoopes is accent tor of The Dixie Sun. edi- r.f - 4 ) J-2- a ' ' , mc L, PHOTO COURTESY OF CINDY SNARR conChildren wait to get balloons at the St. George Arts Fair.

Artists involved in the art show claimed the craft show was "a distraction", and was a leadthis year ing cause of the fact that art shows accrued less sales than they did last year. Only one artist claimed to have had increased sales this year over last year. The St.George City Council will discuss and for the try to come up with a better schedule next Art Festival. Whether or not the craft shows will be allowed next year is undecided. This year's crowd were more drawn to the craft show, which explains why the people involved in the art show are so concerned. I hat there were two craft shows instead ol one only added to the problem. Carlene Baron, a St. George Leisure Services administrative assistant, said "The the craft only reason we would have against booths is if it discourages our artists Irom comit was a good ing back. The artists didn't think idea to have the extra shows this ear." Kent Perkins, the festival director, gave the craft show's full permission to be at the festival.
