—Movie— (Continued from page 1) Fred Chan was a patient of Dr. Harvey Cohen, who plays himself in the film. During 10 days of shooting here beginning last June 21, scenes were shot in the operating room, radiation therapy, the PDC lobby, at Duke West, in the ophthalmology clinic in Baker House and at the Woodhall Building and Davison Building entrances to the medical center. Much of a day was spent shooting in Duke Chapel and other scenes were made in the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, on the university's main quadrangle and elsewhere in Durham. English-speaking parts are in English. The rest of the movie is in Chinese with English subtitles. m 1 UGHTS.... Camera... SURGERY! — Mem bers of the surgery house staff and operating room nurses and other personnel act out a cancer surgery scene. The camera member with folded hands at left wasn't seeking divine gui dance but instead was getting instructions from the movie's director in the OR observation tower above. A ► MERRIE RACKLEY of Raleigh plays the role of a friend of Fred Chan's while he was a student at N.C. State. (Photos by David Williamson) PREPARING FOR A SCENE, actor Louis Castro, who plays the leading role in "The Eternal Love," has a laugh with the makeup lady. Messages from outerspace Data returned from the Viking and recent Mariner missions will illustrate a lecture on "The Climate and the Planets," to be given on campus Thursday (April 13) evening. The speaker will be Dr. Richard M. Goody, Mallinkrodt Professor of planetary physics at Harvard University. He will give a number of examples that illustrate the way in which ideas developed to explain planetary phenomena may help scientists understand more about the earth's climate. The lecture, sponsored by Duke's chapter of the Society of Sigma Xi, will be given in the Gross Chemical Laboratory Auditorium at 8:15 p.m. It is open and free to the public. New faces give them new lives (Continued from page 31 my nose but they don't notice that it is artificial." Lupton explained that the finished product should be worn by the patient for only about 60 per cent of the day for hygienic reasons but that may vary from patient to patient. Some find them quite durable. The prosthesis itself will last anywhere from six to 18 months, she said, depending on the material used in making it and how it is cared for. According to a number of patients, however, they appear to be quite durable. One young man who received a prosthetic ear enjoys playing baseball and swimming in the ocean "without taking it off or losing it," according to his mother. Another man wrote, "It (artificial nose) has worn very well especially considering the rugged conditions it has been exposed to. My work is in a chemical plant where the atmosphere is high in chemical dust and acidulus (sic) fumes." Quality constantly improving There is, Lupton explained, a "constant struggle" for new and better materials for making prostheses. And, she added, with the development of these new materials, the quality of the prostheses is constantly improving. For Lupton, her patients are the most rewarding part of her work. The reward comes from sentiments like this one from a former patient: "I am fine and working thanks to all your good work." M r U' T F f \ T F ^ n « .
