 ''The Prodigal, filmed in Cine maScope and color with Lana Tur- ner and Edmund Purdom, who play leading roles in a.spellbinding drama based on the Biblical Para ble of the Prodigal Son, is brought to the local playhouse from the M-G-M studios
 Recreating a period never before used on the screen, the turbulent era of pagan worship in Damascus in the year 70 B. C., "The Prodi- gal'' brings to life the story of the errant Micah, who falls into dis grace through his uncomfortable infatuation for Samarra, beautiful pagan Goddess of Love.
 Four of the worlds largest in- door sound stages and 100000 square feet of outdoor sets, it is said, were entailed in the construc- tion of such eye-filling scenes and edifices as the teeming seaport of Joppa, street-front in the ancient city of Damascus, the magnificent temple and gardens of the pagan idol gods Baal and Astarte, and such spectacles as the awesome ceremony of the High Sacrifice in which human victim is consign- ed to the flames, the burning and destruction of the granary by an enraged populace and the uprising of the starved peoples of Damas- GUS.
 "The Prodigal" is said to be motion picture of epic proportions.
 Thursday and Friday
 The next feature is ''The Barefoot Contessa," new United Artists release in Technicolor with Per specta Stereophonic Sound. It was directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, and stars Humphrey Bogart, Ava Gardner, Edmund O'Brien, Marcus Goring, Valencia CorteSa and Ros- Sano BraZzi.
 It is said to be a dramatic and daring story, and concerns a fam ous international film actress who constantly seeks love that seems to evade her. It was photographed on location in Rome and other parts Of Italy.
 Mankiewicz wrote both the origi- nal and the screen play, which has been described as brilliant, tragic, penetrating and clever.

 This story of adventure concerns four owtlaws who come to the aid of a homesteader and his daugh- ter, fighting for their lives against an Indian attack. Fist-fights and gun battles are said to keep the pictures adventure appeal through
