In the carefully-chosen Words
of Alfred Hitchcock, ‘’Ho one can
see ‘The Birds’ until it’s over.”
This is Hitchcock’s way of say
ing that when his latest thriller,
“The Birds,” a Universal release
in Technicolor, opens Sunday at
the Sunrise TTieatre, patrons must
see it from the start. For the con
venience of the movie-goer, start
ing times of all performances are
advertised.
The Master of Suspense has a
reason for the policy of discour
aging his fans from seeing “The
Birds” after it has begun to un
fold its thrill-laden story. As with
aU Hitchcock suspense tales, this
one is cunningly calculated to
build toward a terrifying climax.
In order fully “to enjoy being
scared,” the Master opines, one
must see it from the start.
“The Birds” stars Rod Taylor,
Suzanne Pleshette and Jessica
Tandy, and introduces a fascina
ting new leading lady, “Tippi”
Hedren, in an Evan Hunter
screenplay based on a Daphne du
Maurier story.
Described by the director him
self as “most difficult” film he
has ever made, it also promises to
be the most astonishing Of all
Hitchcock uspense movies, as it
reveals mass attacks by brids on
the people of a small California
community.

His promotion of and assistance
to the dewberry industry had
been the most powerful single

capital of the world” in the late
1920’s and 1930’s, then in the
come back of the dewberry in re
cent years.

Dewberry market and served for
many yesirs as a director and buy

cent years an excellent tennis

His quiet and unassuming man
ner and gentle wit, combined
with the finest qualities of a good

Aberdeen Shop
Robbed Twice
A thief or thieves broke into
the Fun ‘N’ Sun, Unlimited, shop
at Aberdeen recently. They or
others returned the next night,
prying open the same rear door
and stealing even more items the
second time.
Officer D. M. Winfree, who in
vestigated both break-ins, said
the first time apparently only a
model airplane, priced at $12.95,
was taken. The second time, sev
eral different items of recrea
tional equipment were stolen,
with a total value of around $60.
Winfree said he was reasonably
sure it was the same thief both
times. “He didn’t mess things up
much, though we could see where
he had been, and he didn’t seem
to be hunting for money, just
things to have fun with.”

DON'T RACE ENGINE
Racing the engine to get it hot
won’t help. It actually delays the
process since the fan spins faster.
The best advice: use moderate
accelerator pressure and take it
slowly for the first mile or two.
