This was followed by a Martha Mitchell album for MGM entitled “My Husband Doesn’t Know I’m Making This Phone Call.” For two seasons she played Dick’s sister on The New Dick Van Dyke Show, and recently she completed filming The New Wonder Woman, an ABC Movie for television, in which she starred opposite Cloris Leachman. This year she starred in her own pilot, Home Cookin', for ABC-TV. Miss Flagg’s film credits include Five Easy Pieces with Jack Nicholson and Stay Hungry with Jeff Bridges.

Many names will be familiar: Juliette Gordon Low, Henrietta Dull, Wyomia Tyus-Simberg, Margaret Mitchell, Celestine Sibley. But do you recall Cousaponakeesa (Mary Musgrove), who played an important part in establishing Georgia as a British Colony? Or Regina Rambo Benson of Marietta who was the first woman to drive an automobile around the state in a contest to promote good roads—and won! This book was researched and authored by members of the Atlanta branch of the American Association of University Women. The first Bicentennial edition will be given to libraries of all public schools in Georgia. A second edition of the book is for sale through your local dealer.

SYMPHONY HALL SUNDAY, MARCH 6 2:30 & 5:00 P.M.
Bill Herring’s WORLD TRAVEL FILMS present AROUND THE BAV OF NAPLES
Produced and presented in person by ART WILSON
We tour the churches, museums and landmarks of Naples, moving then into the congested and often poverty-stricken narrow street sections of the city for informative and humorous views of life, economy and education. After the old port of Santa Lucia of the famous song, we start up from Mergellina into the elegant and airy parts of the city, usually inhabited by the upper middle class. On the Sorrentine Peninsula, several examples of heavy industry are examined, along with agriculture, and we pay a fascinating visit to the mineral baths at Castellamare di Stabia to observe people taking the waters and treatments. Unforgettable are hilarious aspects of local traffic in the region, and this applies even more to the comedy and frustrations we see at local railroad crossings. Habits and traditions are illustrated by the stately form of funerals, and by the twice daily, two hour ritual of Passagiata. The alpine atmosphere of M onte Faito on the peninsula contrasts with the thermal spa and tropical beach resort settings found just below. Wethen descend into Vico Equense where Art Wilson and Fred Keiffer lived, looking closely at the community, one of the most charming and unspoiled of the area. Here we see bread being made in a 400-year-old beehive-type oven, and we learn Pizza A Metro is the most famous pizza restaurant in all of southern Italy. After a visit to Sorrento, we sail for Capri for a detailed and lengthy visit at this little paradise. We see unequaled film coverage of the Blue Grotto with its “blue rain.” The greater merits of a visit to Herculaneum over Pompeii are noted, and then north of Naples, the city of Pozzuoli gives us something both of history and of present day life. The Royal Palace of Caserta, often called “The Versailles of the Kingdom of Naples,” is noteworthy for its beautiful interiors, park and fountains. In the Festival of the Lillies of Nola, 8 decorated towers are carried on the shoulders of men, with 125 men per tower. Each tower is 80 feet high and holds a 15 piece band, and when these towers are carried and danced through the streets, they weigh seven to eight tons. Ischia, largest island in the Gulf of Naples, has a totally different character from Capri, and from there we come back to the Sorrentine Peninsula for a visit to the Keiffer-Wilson villa, and also for a fascinating on and off season study of various beaches, so as to comprehend the true character of the local climate and weather. The areas of the Salerno Beach Head Landings of 1943 lead us on to Paestum where we find the greatest vestiges of Greek civilization to be found anywhere inside Italy. A symphony concert at Ravello has the orchestra perched out over the Amalfi Drive, and Positano proves to be a dream place that seems to hang between the land and the sea. Finally, we explore in detail the magnificent Amalfi Drive.
THERE WILL BE ONE SHORT INTERMISSION
Introducing . . . ART WILSON
To produce Around the Bay of Naples, Art Wilson reports that he and his partner Fred Keiffer leased an 8- room villa (featured in the film), 7 miles north of Sorrento. This was their base of operations for two years and nine months’ production time. Wilson says, “We were easily absorbed into our little community, and this film has a rare, in-depth coverage, in addition to showing all seasons.” He adds, “It is difficult to find an equally small area with such an incredible concentration of history, art, culture and scenic splendor.” One critic’s opinion of Art Wilson’s colorful and penetrating film ... “this travelog may be even better than actually going to Naples.”

Through the windows—through the doors —burst like a ruthless force, Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation. Into the school where the scholar is studying; Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with his bride, Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, ploughing his field, or gathering in his grain. So fierce you whirr and pound you drums—so shrill you bugles blow. Beat! beat! drums! —blow! bugles! blow! Over the traffic of cities—over the rumble of wheels in the streets; Are beds prepared for the sleepers at night in the houses? No sleepers must sleep in those beds, No bargainers’ bargains by day—would they continue? Would the talkers be talking? would the singer attempt to sing? Then rattle quicker, heavier drums—you bugles wilder blow. Beat! beat! drums! —blow! bugles! blow! Make no parley—stop for no expostulation, Mind not the timid —mind not the weeper or prayer. Mind not the old man beseeching the young man. Let not the child’s voice be heard, nor the mother’s entreaties. Make even the trestles to shake the dead where they lie awaiting the hearses. So strong you thump O terrible drums—so loud you bugles blow. Walt Whitman. III Reconciliation Word over all. beautiful as the sky.

If you're a smoker who has been thinking about 'tar' and nicotine, here's why you might consider smoking Now. Now has the lowest 'tar' and nico tine levels available to you in a ciga rette, king-size or longer 2 mg. 'tar,' .2 mg. nicotine. It comes in both filter and menthol. Now also gives you real smoking satisfaction. The flavor is mild and pleasant. Now draws free and easy for a cigarette so low in 'tar' and nicotine. Compare 'tar' numbers. You'll see that 2 mg. is the lowest of all king size cigarettes. When is a good time to switch to Now? There's no better time than right now. Now 2mgtar’is lowest. (King-size oi longer.) © 1976-R.J.

OnlyTechnics gives you the world's most precise drive syste all these ways. Technics direct drive. Radio stations use it. Discos abuse it. And now you can get it in virtually any kind of turntable you want. Because Technics puts direct drive into more kinds of turntables than anyone else. You’ll find it in three manuals that start at under $200 with the SL-1500. Or for a little more money you can get a lot more convenience with our newest turntable, the semi-automatic SL-1400. The world’s first turntable with a one-chip 321 element IC. That gets the platter to exact speed In only 1/3 of a revolution. There is also the fully automatic single disc SL-1300. And the world’s first direct-drive changer, the SL-1350. J, But there’s a lot more to Technics direct drive than just more kinds of turntables. There’s also more precision, better performance and greater reliability. Because in our direct-drive system the platter is an extension of the motor shaft. That means there aren't any belts, gears or idlers to produce variations in speed. And that means all our turntables have less than 0.03% wow and flutter (WRMS), (0.04% for the SL-1350). You'll also find an electronically Direct Drive controlled DC motor that spins at exactly System 331Z> or 45 RPM. Regardless of fluctuations in AC line voltage or frequency. What’s more, unlike high-speed, rumble-producing motors, our motor introduces so little vibration into the system that any rumble remains inaudible (—70 dB DIN B). And it doesn’t matter which Technics turntable you choose. Because they all have the extras you need. Like variable pitch controls. A built-in stroboscope. Viscous-damped cueing. Feedback-insulated legs. As well as a dust cover and integral base. So if you want a turntable good enough for 1 professionals, get the turntables radio stations use and discos abuse. Technics direct drive. ♦Suggested retail price. Technics by Panasonic
