(Dept. of Dcens Photo from International) Train Wreck In Movie Proves Almost Too Real By GENE HANDSAKER AP Newsieatures HOLLYWOOD Master Show man Cecil B. DeMllto is staging a train wreck so real-looking It scares you. Six life-size cars lie smashed and sprawled at crazy angles along a movie set fully a block long. They're circus cars. This is the big climactic scene in DeMille's big-top epic, "The Greatest Show on Earth". It's the Film's visual shocker comparable to Vic Mature pushing the temple down on screaming hundreds in "Samson and Delilah." Villain Lyle Bettger has put a flare on the track at night and Stopped the train's first section lo rob It, Then the second section has crashed into the first a feat done in secret with miniatures and trick photography. Circus Boss Charlton Heston lies pinned under bars ripped from an animal cage. Steam hisses from the shattered car behind him. The vapor is reddened by a floodlight to indicate, on the color film, that there is fire, too. Animal Trainer- Mel Koontz, hidden far down in the cage,' presses an air jet. It scares a black panther into leaping out across Heston. Four takes are necessary.. On one of them, the cat drags Its long tail across Heston's upper- lip.. Between scenes, Heston told me that two , of the shattered alumin um cars are real ones from an ac tual railroad' wreck. "Eight people killed in, that car," he said, indi cating the sliced coach behind him in the scene. He showed how turn- buckles are used to screw the wreckage down tight against him so he won't have to fake his dis comfort. Watching the activity Is Jimmy Stewart, who plays a clown in the picture. Today he isn't working; just visiting. He describes his clown character as big and jolly, with a painted grin and bald, point ed head. Will fans recognize him? "Yes," he' says, "at least when I take the nose and wig off." Jimmy guesses that as a kid in Indiana, Pa,, he never missed a circus. "The whole town turned out at 4:30 in the morning to see the train unloaded. I'd do odd jobs carry slakes, hold ropes. For that I'd get to carry a banner in the parade." The grim business goes on. Gloria Grahame is leading an ele phant in. It's to lift the wreckage oh Heston. Hard-driving DeMille knows exactly what he wants. "You can get more pain into your voice." he tells the pinioned man. You're thankful this is only a movie. ' with 18th century deliberation and many digresions and ramblings. Time for tapioca, by Stryker An account of two cultrues In this story of the family's trek to Batavia in 1927 to produce and process tapioca. The Strvkw learn the hard way to reconcile Penn sylvania to the Javanese mode of Hving-the rice diet, slow move ment, and a primitive world. His eye is on the sparrow, by Ethel Waters This autpBiography of the Negro aciress details from childhood in the slums of Philadelphia and Chester, Pa., through tours in the Negro theatrical circuits North anH South, Harlem cellar nightclubs to national recognition on stage. screen and radio. SET FOR TROUBLE SALT LAKE CITY When a 14 year old Medford, Ore., boy was picked up for questioning by offi cers at a bus station here, he told the police he was traveling to wild and woolly Wyoming and he had heard about dangers of robbers, highwaymen and pickpockets.
