There are two good reasons for going Over to the Assembly-Hall anytime within the next three days. One is the presenta­tion of “O Mistress Mine” by the Aggie Players. The other is to see a building that should have been torn down years ago.' We were disappointed to learn that the Players were going to have to stage their , latest production in the barn-like atmos-/ phere of the Assembly Hall. It falls far short of their needs. The accoustics are poor, the dressing rooms hardly deserve the name, and the lighting leaves much to be desired. In fact, it is unfortunate the building ts in use at all.

Guion Hall, on the other hand, would serve well as a place to produce “O Mis-

Kerr-Stevens Co. New Laugh Team

By JOHN WHITMORE“Please Believe . Me/’ (MOM),

starring Deborah Kerr, Robert W a 1 k e r, [Mark Stevens, James Whitmore, ! and Peter Lav ford. Now showing at the Campus The­ater.

Deborah Kerr is doing something new in this new MOM release—- becoming a;comedienne. The red­headed gal from England, in my opinion, shbuld stick to comedy. She has found a home in the light­er stuff.' !

Her type of humor could be classified as complete naiveity. In the more slapstick forms of com­edy she would be the straight man (purely a figure of speech).

Heralded as his' greatest motion picture aichievemdnt, Cecil B. De­Mille’s Paramount production in Technicolor of “Samson and Deli­lah’’ opens Friday at. the Queen Theatre. 1 .[

Hedy (Lamarr [and Victor Ma­ture, wh<j) portray the title roles, head a cdst of thousands including George Sanders, Angela Lansbury and Henry Wiloogon. The picture marks Miss Lamairr’s first appear­ance in Technicolor.

Based bn the bjhle stbry, "Sam­son and | Delilah” follows in the wake of such illustrious IJeMillo spectacle*’ as ‘‘Th*' Ten Cothmand- iHents,” [‘King of Kings,” "The

'Sign, of ihe Cross” and more ro- ecntly'v<i|neon<|.uerrd,"

In the IrtHtpilngi stage since 1986 when thf flrkt^jcreen play was written, jhe acUiitT shootiiig of the

film :to4k only 66 days once pro­duction [got under way. This was no sma l feat inasmuch as there were; h jge crowds of .extras in many scenes, amiqi great number of technical problems to solve.

The destruction Of the Philistine Temple, for, example, was a se­quence that took eight days to film. And'othcr key scenes in the picture — Samsoh’s bare-handed hattlb with a lion, his assault on 1000 Philistine soldiers, a fearful wedding, feast brawl — also took more than a week to finish.

Casting of the title )-o)es lusted through more than a year of ex- haustivcTcsts, Mature had little coippetiturth but Miss Lamarr won out ovj’r'such beauties ns Yivlen Leigh, Jenifer Jones, Paulette God­dard; Ajva (in if hie r, (icne Tlerhey and John Fontulno. V,,"
