'The Grand Scale'
Canadian Wilds,Ocean Scotland in New Films
By BILL STRATTON
Activities, in the Lawrence theaters are on a grand scale this week. The Canadian wilderness, the deep sea, the Scottish highlands, and even television are among the elements enlisted as scenery.
"Rose Marie," now showing at the Granada theater, is a refurbished musical heirloom with which almost everyone is familiar. Under the subtitle of "A Glorious Outdoor Musical Adventure," Howard Keel and Ann Blyth are charged with the task of convincing us that the foliage of the north is a nice place in which Royal Mounties can sing to the trees and where Indians are really simple folk who like to stage Hollywood dances. To break up the tune sequences, there are Fernando Lamas, Marjorie Main, and Bert Lahr.
Sunday, the Granada is expected to show the CinemaScopic, technicolored hodgepudge called "Beneath the 12-Mile Reef," with Robert Wagner, Terry Moore, and Gilbert Roland. The story, to use the term wantonly, is concerned with the discomforts of the sponge fishermen on the Florida coast, Working hard to give the film a little substance, the cameramen, when they are not reeling in the sunsets and sails, take to the underwater world to stir up some fright. only to sink into the lower depths in fear devices.
For conflict, Wagner is pitted against unscrupulous rival fishermen, a die-hard fiance, a playful octopus, and the curse of the 12-Mile Reef. Ht is also forced to pair off with Terry Moore, who, as the expression goes, is miscast as an actress. This discordant train of filmed events will be shown several times at the Granada after this Saturday night.
Phil Silvers has returned to the screen after a lengthy absence and his current appearance is in "Top Banana." which begins today at the Jayhawker. This interpretation of a Broadway success has Mr. Silvers in the role of a TV comedy who tries for bygone popularity. Mr. Silvers does well in holding the show together, and it is scheduled to run into next week
The Patee sports a lively feature tomorrow, "Rob Roy" is the title and Walt Disney is the producer. It is a live-action film devoted to the rowdiness of 18th Century Scotland. The team of Richard Todd and Glynis Johns, which flaunted kings and brandished blades in "The Sword and the Rose," returns in somewhat different costume and under slightly different circumstances. However, they are still incensing English royalty but much of their fighting time is taken up by a highly disturbed Scottish clan, "Rob Roy" is scheduled to play the entire week at the Patee.
A Biblical infirmity, entitled "Slaves of Babylon," occupies the screen at the Varsity. Unfortunates
who were hired out for this are Richard Conte and Linda Christian.
Randolph Scott rides in, wearing chic Cavalry Blue and smartly fanning a six-shooter, on Saturday at the Varsity. His latest outing with the bad men is "Thunder over the Plains." Like John Wayne, Randy patronizes the theory of "reacting." He will litter the streets with punctured malfeasants until Wednesday.
Nelson Prints On Display
The William Rockhill Nelson gallery in Kansas City and its director, Laurence Sickman, have loaned the Museum of Art an exhibition of prints by famous artists.
Including such painters as Martin Schongauer, Lucas van Leyden, Rembrandt van Rijn, William Blake, Francisco Goya, and Honore Daumier, the show supplements the current exhibition of Durer prints.
"Notable among the works of art on display is the famous 'Hundred Guilder' print of Rembrandt, often considered his masterpiece." Edward Maser, museum curator, said.
Six Sociologists ToAttendMeeting
Six members of the department of sociology and anthropology will attend the annual meetings of the Midwest Sociological society at Madison, Wis., today through Saturday.
E. Jackson Baur, associate professor of sociology on sabbatical leave, will read a paper entitled "Principles of Constructing Community Indexes;" Waldo W. Burchard, instructor in sociology, will read his report on "The Chaplain and Role Conflict," and Marston M. McCluggage, professor of sociology and acting chairman of the department of human relations, will cover the topic, "Teaching Sociology by the Case Method."
Carroll D. Clark, chairman of the department, will participate in the criminology and social disorganization panel and E. Gordon Erickson, assistant professor of sociology, will participate in a contemporary theory section. Orry Walz, instructor in sociology, will also attend.
Nearly 1,100,000,000 household electric light bulbs are sold in this country each year.
Five new men will be put on the force tomorrow and Saturday, and patrolmen will be stationed at several strategic "snarl spots" around the campus. Chief Skillman said.
The provision is being made because of engineering expositions which will be located in the D parking zone behind Marvin hall.
The Rains Came
Some may have blamed it on gremlins. A few may have been able to do it themselves. Still others (being mostly professors) maybe didn't even notice it was done.
"We are expecting more than 3,000 high school students for the events," he said, "and most, if not all, of these will be strictly pedestrian traffic." He said the conflict between pedestrian and car traffic promised to be the most serious for the campus.
It is only one of the special measures taken by campus police to meet traffic problems expected for the Relavs.
Lawrence police and Douglas county highway authorities will be on hand to give the campus police help should they need it.
All D-zone parking permits will be honored in all zones tomorrow and Saturday, Campus Police Chief Joe Skillman said today.
But probably several dozen persons who parked their cars yesterday in Lilac Lane and the Union parking areas were deeply grateful that open windows were rolled up when the rain started.
Who did it? Three thoroughly soaked, jeans-clad coeds who made the rounds, doing their good turns for the day.
A supply of campus maps and traffic regulations booklets are on hand at the traffic office, and Chief Skillman said he hoped visitors would get in touch with the traffic office if they have any special traffic questions.

Humphrey Wants Action On Tax Bill to Aid Economy
Washington — (U.P.)— Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey called today for quick Senate action on the administration tax bill to clear the way for "the creation of thousands of jobs and the vital expansion of our economy."
Action on the tax reform bill, said Humphrey, would have a "tremendously helpful effect upon the economy." The measure, passed by the House but still in a Senate committee, provides a number of concessions to stimulate business.
"Jobs are more important than tax cuts," he said. "... The entire fiscal policy of the government is designed and operated to promote more and better jobs."
House Republican Leader Charles A. Halleck (Ind.) and Democratic Whip John W. McCormack (Mass.)
Also on tap for the opening-day schedule is a three-hour visit with top military leaders at the Pentagon. The H-bomb will come up tomorrow at a briefing to be given by Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy commission.
