Monde Cane" is going Il
come as quite a shock to a lot
Of other people, too. It is moth
ing to be taken In by the
squeamish or faint Of stomach
Mr.. Jacopetti's theme is man,
inhumanity and you'll shuddel
at a number Of his revelation:
Of how really inhumane man is
What Mr.. Jacopetti has done
is roam the world with q cam.
era, probing into a variety OF
manifestations Of humanity's
sub-human bestiality. The title
translates roughly as a dogs
life and that's as fitting as any
label for this shocker.
Some 80 examples Of things
you won't believe until you see
have been recorded by Jaco-
petti's Technicolor cameras
Some Of them are grisly enough
to give you a real case Of the
shudders and q few are lu-

The bizarre things that &C

fined to the jungle, either, as
is demonstrated by some views
Of shapeless American women

lose your taste for such a So
phisticated food as pate de

Other scenes in the WIDE
ranging film include the grue-
somely inhumane slaughter Of
pigs for a New Guinea feast, a
look at q FormoSan restaurant
where dogs are kept in cages to
be killed and served up at q
customers order, a visit to an
edible (the natives think
snake market in Singapore, the
self -flagellation Of young men
in an Italian town In an an
cient religious ceremony. And
there's a lot more Of the same.
One Of the more dramatic
passages in the Jacopetti doc
umentary deals with the
Bikini atoll and the aftermath
of atom bomb tests. Birds,
which once went underground
to lay eggs now live under

Giant sea turtles, their sense

Husbund-Wife
Teams Dominate
. BY HARRY MACARTHUR

Miss Mansfield declares she
has to change her dress and de-
parts. She was barely out OF
sight at her first Casino per-
Torrance when there was q
roar from belowstairs. Heavens
to Betsy" somebody observed
"she went through the wrong
door. She's changing down
there In the Speakeasy."
1t couldn't have happened
though, because Mr.. Hargitay
barely had time to dance the
twist with girl from the audi
ence before his ex-frau re-
turned, intact.
The costume change brings
the two to the athletic portion
Of their Evening With Jayne
and Mickey. He holds her over
his head and does a few spins,
Then she clasps her hands be-
hind his neck and he does some
more spins while she floats in
the breeze.
Miss Mansfield did not on
her opening night come UP with
her advertised satire on bur-
lesque. The excuse was that the
necessary costume still was in
Hollywood. OF course, she's
known for weeks that she was
going to open here June "a,
but a girl can't think Of every
thing.
She did, before departing,
offer an explanation Of those
nude pictures in that magazine.
They were from the French
version Of the movie she Just
made and when they turned
up there for American eyes to
see she was some surprised, you
bet.
The tariff for all Of this, in

admission charge plus a 81

Miss Seal and Mr.. Matalon,
to get around to the talent, are
embarking on q new career
phase and introducing a brand
new night club act in their
Shoreham Terrace appearance.
The worst that can be said Of
1t is that 1t is tailored for more
intimate precincts. In this mod
erately vast play arena Miss
Seal and her mate have some
trouble establishing the rapport
with the audience that they
obviously want to make the
most Of.
They are a talented pair,
though, and they breeze zest-
fully through a considerable
array Of song and dance items.
At one point Miss Seal. an
ebullient lass whose personality
bubbles over, comes up with a
welcome recall Of the old Trina
La Douce" score that served
her so well for so long. Makes
you wonder all over again what
in the world prompted Billy
Wilder to abandon both when
he made the movie.
Liveliest item in the Seal
Matalon, routine is one they
save for the end of the show
their version Of ME and My
Shadow" It's q real gem.
Miss Seal and Mr.. Matalon
do their singing into concealed
wireless microphones. It gives
them a lot more freedom of
movement in their dancing and
it's a fine idea-when the
equipment works properly.
When 1t doesn't, that Terrace
is too broad for any singer.

George Washington would
have given 1t his full approval.
He'd have loved the expan-

rind, the homemade tomato
preserves, the hot drop biscuits
and the genuine strawberry

The thought that the aristo-
cratic Washington would have
approved Of the above came to
us this week while dining at
the Cedar Knoll, a plantation
style restaurant eight miles
south Of Alexandria which even
today probably would not look
strange to the revered Virgin
ian. 1t stands on a grassy knoll
which he himself must have
stood upon. It is part Of what
used to be his River View Farm
No doubt on many occasions
he pondered the same view of
the Potomac. It's a perfect van
tage point. It's equally a good
bet that he partook more than
once of tangy country ham,
steaming hot biscuits and
homemade relishes like those
served today at the Cedar
Knoll.

ZEI- NIX CHAMBERS
They Beat Adults to the Punch
On Cleanup Week at Chambers

A school-wide project of con-
siderable timeliness and value
was undertaken at Chambers
School last week. The school de-
cided to anticipate Cleanup
Week May 11th-19th) by a
fortnight, in order to get
head start and clean itself up
in advance of the neighborhood
in general.
Consequently, each room in
Chambers made up a Cleanup
Week poster of it's own. and
set about getting its own prem
|Iises in order. The children
"policed up" their desks, work
tables and display areas-their
classrooms as units, in fact
and agreed on the message
that they wanted their rooms
poster to convey.
Some of these messages are
quite ingenious. A number of
them imagine various inani-
mate or non-human things as
talking. For instance, one pos
ter shows sidewalk saying,
Walk on me; | am meant for
feet" while the nearby grass
says, ooh no! Not on u.s." An
other poster shows flower
bulbs in the ground pleading.
"Give us outer space" and a
third shows flowers saying
"ouch!" when they are pulled
up.
Before-and-aft posters S
show Uttered yards transformed
into beautiful green expanses
by Cleanup efforts; pair
Iof scissors is used to illustrate
the lesson of Don't cut cor
ners;" and elsewhere, birds,
more flowers and lawns en-
phasize the benefits to growing
things resulting from humans
care and thoughtfulness.
There is even a brand new
word on one of the Chambers
posters. Above a depressing
scene Of a badly Uttered front
yard, it says to US, DON'T

The children plan to donate
these signs to Hayden ave.

Superior School also has an
early-bird Cleanup Campaign,
which is even now underway.
Last Monday the schools Stu
dent Council met, and set up
a schoolwide contest to COM
bat "litterbugging" in which
even the kindergarten children
could take part.
The project is based on the
fact that adults, as well as
children, are often guilty of
throwing away trash which
adds to the unsightliness of our
city. Continuing through We'd
nesday, a contest is being held
to determine which classroom
can bring in the most waste
