The penny dread fuls and popular border ballads were the first media to make heroes of the barbarians• Now the Warner Bros-Seven Arts hilarious mad-cap comedy western, "The Great Bank Robbery3 •' opening on Friday, July 31, at the Galax Theatre, succeeds in crumbling the images of the West’s hallowed heroes-perhaps forever. Comedian Zero Mbstel is the master bank robber disguised as the religious leader who always manages to outwit his vistims not because he is so smart, but because everyone else is so dumb. Kim Novak, appearing in her first role in a western, proves to be a deft comedienne as Mbstel’s mistress and one time cooch dancer. The train robbing gun slick (Claude Akins) is a psychotic; the Texas Ranger (Clint Walker) is a square; and the Mexican bandito (Akim Tamiroff) with his son and aide-de-camp (Larry Storch) are splendidly beguiling stumble bums, HIGHLAmS HIGHLIGHTS Guests of Mrs, Elizabeth Valentine are Mr. and Mrs. John Early and son, Stephen of Chamblee, Georgia.
