Especially when Paul Newman gave him such explic- it instructions. Now poor Steve McQueen has to put the fire out. Well, you get the idea: star - studded trash. The best part of the whole film is wait- ing expectantly for Faye Dun- away's dress to fall off. It nev- er does. * Dracula - (State, from 7 daily) - Andy Warhol and com- pany return with another sick attempt at rewriting the science fiction classics. * A Very Natural Thing-(Cam- pus, from 7 daily) - Foreign film fare. The Man with the Golden Gun - (The, Movies, Briar- wood, from 10:30 daily)-James Bond the third, alias Roger Moore, returns again in another of this ever - ghastly series. For Ian Fleming freaks only. * The Front Page - (The Movies, Briarwood, from 10:30 daily) - Billy Wilder remakes the classic Ben Hecht-Charles MacArthur play and runs into a few problems along the way. Howard Hawks' version with Cary Grant is still the best. Funny, though. *** Freebie and the Bean. - (The Movies, Briarwood, from 10:30 daily) - This latest in the progression of Warner Bros. "screwball" comedies tries to be funny but never quite makes it. Alan Arkin stars. ** saturday January 11 Birthdays: Alexander Ham- ilton, Bobby Goldsboro, William James CINEMA P a p e r Chase (New World, MLB 3, 7, 9:30) - Frightfully familiar view of the hustling law students, fighting neck-and- neck for that allmighty grade. Close - to - home stuff. Fantastic Planet (New World, MLB 4, 7, 9:30) - Classy ani- mated film that proves ulti- mately more than a kiddie-fea- ture. It Happened One Night (Cine- ma Guild, Arch. Aud., 7, 9:05)- Clarke Gable and Claudette Col- bert star in this academy award-winning romantic com- edy. Both entertaining and so- phisticated. Minnie and Moskowitz (Cine- ma II, Angell Hall, Aud. A, 7, 9)-John Cassavetes bouncy film that is not to be confused with Art Carney's Harry and Tonto. The Way We Were (Media- trics, Nat. Sci. Aud., 7:30, 9:30) -Sappy schmaltz that appeals to the Gone With the Wind cult. MUSIC Blind Pig-Synergy, jazz, $1. Chances Are - Skip Van Win- kle, rock 'n roll, $1. ...... ..

In a rare mo- ment Bruce Dern actually kills Wayne for the most bizarre, anti-climatic reasoning, and a saddened comment is laid upon years and years of Western Wayne Cinema. At midnight don't miss Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift and Dean "nose job" Martin in The Young Lions (1958), a fascinating end to all those post-WW-I-B-movies about military menopause. Brando, dyed hair and all, gives an excellent performance as the tortured Nazi with many memo- ries. sunday January 12 Birthdays: John Hancock, Hermann Goering, Joe Frazier CINEMA It's a Wonderful Life (Cinema II Angell Hall Aud. A, 7 9:30) -Another bit of nostalgia from Frank Capra, the director who brought you biggies like It Hap- pened One Night and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.

THE TUBE The Smothers Brothers finally return to the airwaves tonight on Channel 4 at 8 p.m., a long- awaited debut spanning an ab- sence of years and years as a result of censorship. Guests Redd Foxx and Alice Cooper liven up the action for this first show, which has a shaky future in that it has to out-rate rival Gunsmoke on Channel 2, fea- tured during the same time per- iod. Later at 9 p.m. on Channel 7 Liza Minelli acts her way to an Academy Award nomination in The Sterile Cuckoo, (1969) a harmless and entertaining col- lege soap opera. tuesday January 14 1957: Humphrey Bogart dies. Birthdays: Benedict Arnold, Albert Schweitzer, Faye Duna- way. CINEMA Tora! Tora! Tora! (New World, Nat. Sci. Aud., 7, 9:30)- Lengthy re-enactment of Pearl Harbor.

Aud., 7, 9:05)-This Ital- ian-made film was shot in Rome in 1946 and combines documen- tary-like economy with political fervor.

Tom Ewell.. Blood on the Moon (1948), o Channel 50 later at 11:30, star Robert' Mitchum in a moody tal of cowboys and ranch feuds. The film was curiously mad just prior to Bob's bust fo smoking marijuara, and looks, frankly, like some curious ston- ed nightmare.

Winning dummy's ace of hearts, declarer led a trump to his king, cashed the queen of trumps, andscontinued with a trump to dummy's ace, on which East sluffed a club. Having drawn trump, declar- er, hoping for a three - three split, played the ace, king, and another diamond. East, how- ever, won the third round with his jack and switched back to hearts. South ruffed the heart switch, ruffed his fourth diamond in dummy, and led a small club to his queen. West won the king of clubs, cashed his heart queen,! and led to his partner's king to set the contract a trick. In his haste to draw trump, declarer doomed his contract to failure when it was cold for an overtrick. Upon winning the ace of hearts, South should imme- diately ruff a heart with the nine of spades. Returning to the board with a small spade, he should ruff another heart. Fin- ally, he should lead to dummy's diamond ace and ruff the last heart with his remaining trump. This line of play will yield tricks in the form of four spades, one heart and three heart ruffs, two diamonds, and one club, irregardless of the dia- mond split or the location of the king of clubs.
