witnesses a murder on the L.A.-New York super-train and then becomes
hunted by the murderers and the cops. This film boasts RICHARD PRYOR in
superb comic form and an elegant PATRICK McGOOHAN as the suavest

7&10 STAR TREK
You've read the books! You've watched it on TV! Now, see STAR TREK on Wide
Screen! Tonight-STAR TREK'S ultimate statement on man's bigotry stars Frank
Gorshin as a half-block-faced Kirk Douglas who has chased his hated quarry, a
reversed half-black-faced Lou Antonio, for a million years (or close to it). They
both end up on the Enterprise (where else) exhibit awesome god-like powers
(as usual) and force Kirk to do their bidding (as usual). What's not usual is this
rare, larger than life (or TV) presentation of the crew of the Enterprise blasting
across the universe. With Captain James T. Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. "Bones" McCoy,
Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, and Chekov. (They no longer go by any other name!)
Plus Short-HARDWARE WARS
The hit of this year's A' Film Festival! The technically professional, hilarious, &
(by now) classic parody of Star Wars. (10 min.).
8:15 only the time machine
H. G. Wells' classic novel adapted faithfully and imaginatively to the screen.
Rod Taylor stars as the young 19th century inventor who excuses himself from
the table, steps into his work room, and catapults himself into the far distant
future. Before arriving in the year 802,701, though he witnesses man's history
pass before his eyes, occasionally making pit stops along the way. What he
finds at his journey's end is best left for you to discover. Sci-Fi producer/director
George Pal (WAR OF THE WORLDS) created here a most endearing film with
Academy Award winning special effects. With Alan Young, Yvette Mimieux and
Sebastian Cabot. (GEORGE PAL, 1960).

Cold.Yet warming.
Hearty, full-bodied flavor. Yet smooth and easy going down.
And, Cinci Cream develops a big head on contact.
Conflict. Conflict. Trauma. Trauma. Freud's diagnosis?
We think he would have said, "It's too good to gulp" And you will,
too. In the final analysis.
