will be the presentation of “Strategic Air Command” Monday,
March 18, in Sexson Auditorium at 3:15 and 7:30 p.m. Star¬
ring James Stewart and June Allyson, this spectacular color
film is a tribute to the peace-time
U.S. Air Force and to the men
who operate the high B-36 propel-
lor planes l-and B-47 jet bombers.
These magnificent jets are the
real stars, with the take-offs, land¬
ings, refueling by air, layout of
the jet’s interior, the extreme
technicality of each crew mem¬
ber’s job, and the great monotony
and fatigue incident to long
flights, all made clear and under¬
standable to the layman.
James Stewart, in the human
and necessary side of the plot,
portrays a ballplayer recalled to
duty.
June Allyson slips expertly into
the role of the understanding wife
and completes the domestic side
of the plot.
This highly acclaimed movie
puts the viewer against magnifi¬
cent panoramas of earth, sky and
water. All this is accentuated by THE WILD BLUE YONDER
