In Movement, Tones,
By ANDREW LUGG
The Creative Arts Festival last
night recognized film as art. David
McKendall, Chicago film maker,
presented three of his films at
the Architecture Aud.
In an imaginative preamble with
a first reluctant audience, Mr.
McKendall asked the audience to
closely examine and move their
thumbs. With his guidance, the.
audience came to a realization of
movement, texture and light. This
preamble serves well as an intro-
duction to the film maker as well
as his films.
The first film is best described.
as an investigation of the tones
and qualities of objects. Starting
from simple shots of a lake the
film develops into one of the most
beautiful abstracts I have seen in
a long time.
The major motifs of reeds and
water are -approached with im-
mense control, achieving great
freedom in terms of movement,
light and form. Uninterested in
ideas, Mr. McKendall captures the
intense changing quietness of the
reeds and water. He first concen-
trates in making us see, by swal-
lowing us in his images, and then
allows us to think about what we
are seeing.
Soon the viewer. looks at the
flowing water on the screen with
the same concentration he had
and Light
used on his thumb. Well prepared
by Mr-. McKendall, the viewer be-
comes aware of the rather hyp-
notical powers of movement. As
the reeds lean in a breeze, or the
speed of the flowing water quick-
ens, the meaning of the object
becomes insignificant. They be-
come not reeds, but movement.
The water loses its identity, which
is replaced by a rolling series of
light and dark images.
In the second film "Bike Day"
(1965), McKendall again captures
movement, light and tones, but,
with people rather than water.1
This time it is a series of bicycle
rituals at a high school. The mood
highly active and amusing. Any
dissatisfaction with his film is ab-
solved by the director's skill with
light, movement and images.
Mr. McKendall's films can be
enjoyable and critically praise-
worthy only if the individual view-
er is willing to cooperate with his
requirements. The director asks
only the basic requirement of any,
film maker-an active and atten-
tive eye.
The performance, co-sponsored
by Cinema Guild, will be given
again tomorrow night. Without
doubt, it is well worth seeing.

tration officially scheduled yes-
terday its first manned Apollo
orbital mission for a launching no
earlier than Feb. 21.'
This will be a preliminary to1
the planned landing on the moon,
projected within the next threea
years.
The three-man crew will be'
launched between 10 a.m. and 3:30
p.m. EST into an orbit 101 to 153'
miles above the earth.
The. flight is "open ended" -
that is, of an indeterminate length..
If all goes satisfactorily it may
equal in length the 14-day Gem-
i 7 mission of Astronauts Frank
Borman and James A. Lovell, Jr.,
in December, 1965, the longest
manned space flight yet achieved.
The crew for the first American
three-man space journey will be
commanded by Virgil I. Grissom,
40, who made a suborbital flight
in a Mercury spacecraft July 21,
1961, and commanded the first
Gemini mission, a three-orbit
flight with Astronaut John Young
March 23, 1965.
Grissom's crew will consist of
Edward H. White II, 37, first
American to walk in space - he
flew with James A. McDivitt in
Gemini 4 in June, 1965-and Rog-
er B. Chaffee, 31, a newcomer to
space flight.
NASA said the purpose of the
first Apollo astronaut mission is
to check out the manned opera-
tion and performance of the
spacecraft, ground tracking and
control facilities.
