Difficult Time Making Picture Africa, at least in its remote parts along the equator, is just as primitive, dangerous and exciting as it was twenty years ago. de clared M-G-M star Deborah Kerr, on her return from a five-months safari across the Dark Continent •for the filming of the spectacular drama, ‘ King Solomon's Mines,” which is now showing at the Vic car Theatre. Before leaving Hollywood for the adventurous trip which was to cover 25.000 miles of Equator ial Africa, the actress took a se ries of inoculations for cholera, yellow fever, typhus, smallpox, typhoid and paratyphoid. She al so viewed the picture, “Trader Horn,” filmed in Africa two de cades ago, and congratulated her 1 self at the thought that her loca tion trip wouldn't be as hazardous as the one on which the earlier film was made. Her congratulations proved to be premature. "We saw a native tribe almost go berserk in front of our eyes, raining spears all around us, .states Miss Kerr, in recalling some of the high points of the trip. “Our white hunters, ^who were always with us. killed -~ I i two rouge elephants that had smashed a native village right next to our camp. At Murchison Falls we worked in the unbe 1 lieveable heat of 152 degrees! At another point we had to carry all our own equipment because the tsetse fly was so bad that horses or mules couldn't survive. There were times when I wanted to sit down and cry and felt that I couldn't continue another min ute. Somehow, we all managed to keep going, but 1 can truth fully say I wouldn't dream of trying it again.” The picture, showing here for' the last time Wednesday night! of this week, has attracted thou-1 sands in the large cities recently. | Only last u'eek, it was held over j several days at Lowe's in Norfolk. 'Rocketship XM' 'Out of the World' Hollywood's films have finally gone out of this world.

When they finally awaken, they discover they are a mere stone’s throw from Earth's nearest planetry neighbor. Mars.
