time, somehow is less a deter
rent than a challenge to Lon
don's fun-loving actors.
This is plainly the case with
Dentist in The Chair" now
at the Macarthur. 1t is a great
grandson, so to speak. of
Doctor in The House" and it
is played with as much verve
as if it were fresh screenplay.
The setting of the film is a
dental school, and the clinic
that goes with such an institu-
ton. Both are Fairgrounds for
a wildly prankish student body
and one which, as a whole. is
lightning fast with a double
entendre line. There are a
great many of these in the
dialogue Of Dentist in The
Chair" clear evidence that
Scenarist Val Guest uses every
device possible to wiring laughs
from the addictS of such farces.
Most of the dizZily paced
action Of the Macarthur exhibit
centers in the arrival of a
burglar who. bungling a jewelry
robbery, ends up with a bag of
dental office supplies and is
looking for a market for the
loot. There is a little something
in a gag like this but not nearly
so much as Director Don
Chaffey. for want of anything
better, tries to get out of it.
Actually, the funniest stretch
of slapStick over the course of
Dentist in The Chair" is a
day in the clinic which con-
fronts the dental seniors with
their first patients, or victims.
There are some perfect farce
types among these latter and
in their brief experiences with
the novitiate dentists, the film
becomes moderately amusing.
Among the unabashed per-
formers in Dentist in The
Chair" are Bob Monkhouse,
Peggy mmins. Kenneth
O'Connor and Eric Barker. All
of them, Of course, have been
more gainfully employed than
on this occasion.

Original Liberty Airs
TotoIed $98 Million
By BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

The original 15-cent Statue
Of Liberty international air
mail stamp had a total dis
tribution of 98.160,000, the
Post Office Department re-
ported yesterday.
The figure, rather small
for a regular issue, was
slightly less than the current
100 million print order for
commemorative. Collectors
probably will find sets Of Is
cent plate number blocks
harder to complete than
those of the 10-cent or Is
cent denominations.
The 15-cent stamp was
issued November 20, 1853.
Because of mixing problems
in the Giori press printing Of
the bicolor design it was re-
placed January 13 Of this
year by a modified design
with a vertical gutter be-
tween the black pictorial
portion and the orange value
tablet.
Quantities issued for other
airmail stamps no longer on
sale were listed by the Post
office Department as 207,-
976,550 for the 10-cent, 1885,
186,350 for the 15-cent and

There's a giant space ship
moving toward Mars with
5000 Earth refugees aboard.
Suddenly there's q wailing
and Squealing of electronic
gear the ships rudder is
fouled by coStnic matter 4.
now she hurtles atmlessly in

Is her only destination.
This is the setting of "Ani-
ara" subtitled An Epic of
Space Flight in 2038 AID.
1t is a powerful and grim
opera in two acts by Karl
Birger Blomdahl, produced in
q two-record album by CO.
lumbia.
Fine Swedish Cast
Blomdahl's vivid concept Of
the new music foStered by
Berg is applied with force
and imagination to a score
based on the poem of another
SweHe, Harry Martinson. And
to keep it all in the family.
the cast is Swedish, abetted
by the chorus and orchestra
Of the Vienna Volksoper
conducted by Werner JAMS
sen.
This arrangement could not
have been better, since these
are the same splendid solo,
lists who premiered the opera
two years ago.
Flight without Hope
Aware they will never re-
turn to their radioactive
planet. the Earthmen are
symbolically trapped In mans
aimleSS, soul-less flight. They
try to keep up a materialiStic
hope, led by DaiSi Doody,
who sings in a hySterical
jazz gibberish, and by San
don, an empty-pated buffoon.
Chefone, the ships evil
master, tells the passengers
they are lucky they didn't
tangle with a star-"Go on
dancing!" They all give it a
try but the futility of their
position overwhelmS them
when the earth explodeS.
This sequence calls for 10 or
IL minutes Of eerie electronic
effects, quite interesting but
perhaps a bit prolonged.
A Striking Score
The climax comes with the
Goth year aloft and the real
ization they have reached the
end with no hope, no God.
Aniara is striking in It's
stark structure, its effective
use Of dissonances and atom
alism, Of chillingly appropri-
ate orchestra textures, and
Of surprisingly beautiful solo
parts from well-trained, con-
vincing voices. i.
