r PAGE TWO THE VASESVILLE JIOUNTAIXEE3 Thursday Afternoon, Ai Friday Marks Drive-in's First Anniversary The theme song of the Waynes Ville Eive-In Theatre Friday night will be "Happy Birthday To You," and everybody who attends the show will get ice cream on the house. The occasion is the first birthday of the out-door theater, and the co-owners, Clayton MehafTey and Homer West, are planning this special little observance for it. They opened their theatre last August 4. It is one of the few in this area which operates all year round. - Except for a brief period when the sorten was torn down by the high winds of late winter; the theatre has been giving perfor mances every night ever since it opened.

De MinVa technicolor production, "Samion and Delilah." . " Producer Cecil B. DeMille, who iivided the Red Sea in "The Ten Commandments," staged the monu mental Siege of Acre in "The Crusades," and used more than l.QOO extras for the Roman arena scenes in "The Sign of the Cross." regards these epic feats as child's play since making his latest Tech nicolor spectacle, "Sampson and Delilah," starring Hedy Lamarr and Victor Mature, which opens at he Park Theatre Sunday. For this Paramount production jf the Old Testament love story, DeMille conceived and executed he most ambitious scene he has ever attempted in 36 years of movie-making. It was the destruction of the Temple at Gaza by the blind and wrathful Samson. Nothing like 'his scene had ever before been staged and, inasmuch as it is the climax of "Samson and Delilah," DeMille was determined to make it something, that would shock customers out of their seats. A section of the Temple, fash ioned after modern evidences of the pre-Christian era, occupied two Paramount sound stages, Nos. 14 and 15 one of the very few times a set has required the space of more than a single stage. Huge pillars ranged around two walls of the stages, with a portion of the Philistine god, Dagon (the original Dagon towered 60 feet) reproduced for this tumultuous episode. It took eight days to film the destruction of the Temple and more than Ave months to build It Approximately 1.000 Philistine spectator, slaves, liveried super numeraries, high priests and cer emonial dancers were on hand for Samson's crushing revenge on the people . who had enslaved him. While a record total of 51.000 amperes of brilliant light poured down upon the scene, and huge propellers and sound machines sent up great dust and thunder, workmen suspended from lnvis ible cables started demolishing the Temple as 5 cameras recorded the event, Overflow Crowd Delays Curtain Time Of Drama The Standing Room Only sign went up at Mountainside Theatre boxoffice last Saturday night at 8:00 P.
