Starring Glenn Ford, Jeanne Crain and Broderick Crawford, with Russ Tamblyn reading a big supporting cast, the M-G-M picture tells a story of the .arly West but it is unlike any Vestern you have ever seen be "ore. It is at one and the same time a thriller, a shocker and a jspenseful character study. It is the story of George Temple, a quiet, mild-mannered storekeeper, and his wife, Dora, Aiiose seemingly happy marriage ndes a secret in his past, a se ret involving the fact that George Temple is the fastest man with . gun in the whole West. What lappens to him, to Dora and to acir fellow citizens of Cross Creek when three murderous men seek out Temple to chal lenge his reputation with a gun makes for spellbinding action. The surprise finish of the plot is probably the most remarkable ever devised for a screen play. « McCrea Scores In Gripping Story A stirring and spectacular pic turization of the long, hard and bitter struggle of Texans for freedom from Mexico, with Joel McCrea portraying the colorful Sam Houston, is Allied Artists’ Cinemascope color production of ‘‘The First Texan,” which opens tonight at the Capitol theatre. * Filmed on an epic scale and re creating the great Battle of San Jacinto, the crucial conflict which finally won the Lone Star Re public its independence, “The First Texan” is one of the year’s major historical dramas, and at the same time a superb vehicle for McCrea.

Horace Ave. • August 1, 1956 Miami Tirpes Dear Editor, Has anyone mentioned the re cent phenomena in the sky to you? If so what is their interpre tation or may I ask, what do you .hink? On Sunday, July 15, 1956 at about 11 o’clock a.m. I saw a large crucifix in the southern sky. I called the children to see it and before our very eyes a lady all in white stood beside it. Then the White House showed up and President Washington stood on its lawn. The flag was minus from the building. In an instant Washington was enveloped m blue bunting. A little toward the east stood Jerusalem in all its glory. In a moment’s notice the sky over all was filled with battle ships. A voice said there is no time to quarrel, people must repent and pray. Then an extremely bright light shone over all. In the western sky there was a breast picture of five United States presidents, the last one I did not identify. Perhaps one who has not as yet taken office for I saw a number sixty in gold let ters appear beside him. Now, if you care to use this as a news item in your paper you may do so.
