church, I thought - not inherently<br />

wrong, but <strong>smell</strong>ing<br />

faintly of disrespect.<br />

And it was hot, boy was it<br />

hot. It was 106 degrees.<br />

Well, if you fact<strong>or</strong> in the<br />

heat index_ (Now just what<br />

is a heat index? I know it's<br />

like the wind-ehill fact<strong>or</strong>, but<br />

with temperature and humidity,<br />

but f<strong>or</strong> Pete's sake, if<br />

it's hot and humid, it's hot<br />

and humid and knowing the<br />

heat index doesn't make you<br />

feel any cooler.)<br />

Anyhow, that's why I w<strong>or</strong>e<br />

sh<strong>or</strong>ts and a nice T-shirt <strong>to</strong><br />

the Fox Theatre. And<br />

frankly, compared <strong>to</strong> some<br />

impressive as any critter in<br />

"Star Wars" - slain grandly<br />

by Geoffrey Whynot as the Jabberwocky<br />

son. And there is a<br />

spectacular <strong>to</strong>urnament bepeople<br />

there, I was overdressed.<br />

We were greeted by a <strong>to</strong>phatted<br />

do<strong>or</strong>man who opened<br />

the do<strong>or</strong> <strong>to</strong> the lobby where<br />

ushers dressed in Arab garb<br />

- well, actually, they were<br />

wrapped in sheets, but I<br />

don't think their black socks<br />

and shiny oxf<strong>or</strong>d shoes are<br />

trac:htional - <strong>to</strong>ok our tickets<br />

and <strong>to</strong>ld us <strong>to</strong> enjoy the<br />

show.<br />

Those who hadn't been <strong>to</strong><br />

the Fox since its renovation<br />

were awed by the grandeur<br />

(some would say garishness)<br />

of the lobby and by the theater<br />

itself which seats 5,000<br />

people. Bef<strong>or</strong>e the movie, an<br />

<strong>or</strong>ganist played movie<br />

themes on the theater's<br />

majestic pipe <strong>or</strong>gan. Then,<br />

the movie began.<br />

It was fitting that bef<strong>or</strong>e<br />

loading in<strong>to</strong> the car <strong>to</strong> see<br />

"Lawrence of Arabia" - set<br />

on some of the Earth's hottest,<br />

most arid acreage - we<br />

sweated buckets as we<br />

mopped out flooded cellars.<br />

While T.E. Lawrence learned<br />

<strong>to</strong> live with little water, we<br />

hoped the street flooding we<br />

saw on the way down<strong>to</strong>wn<br />

would be gone when we<br />

came out.<br />

As it is, the entire w<strong>or</strong>ld<br />

could have gone by bef<strong>or</strong>e<br />

we came out. The movie is<br />

long. It started just after the<br />

7 p.m. curtain time, and -<br />

with an overly long internussion<br />

- concluded sh<strong>or</strong>tly af.<br />

tel' 11. The length draws attention<br />

<strong>to</strong> the Fox's main<br />

fault. Its seats are uncomf<strong>or</strong>table<br />

and <strong>to</strong>o close <strong>to</strong>gether.<br />

Every part of your<br />

body is sure <strong>to</strong>, at one time<br />

<strong>or</strong> another, fall asleep.<br />

I saw several people I<br />

know at the theater and<br />

they asked - because they<br />

know I do - if I were reviewing<br />

the mOVie.<br />

Now really; what does one<br />

say about David Lean's masterpiece<br />

that hasn't already<br />

been said? The movie was<br />

already a legend by the time<br />

I was b<strong>or</strong>n. And it is a welldeserved<br />

accolade. The film<br />

is a who's who of Hollywood's<br />

male act<strong>or</strong>s - Peter<br />

O'Toole, Alec Guiness, Omar<br />

Sharif, Anthony Quinn,<br />

tra<strong>or</strong>dinary man who<br />

changed the w<strong>or</strong>ld.<br />

Although It loses its focus<br />

in the second half, and wanders,<br />

the film is remarkable<br />

even Just <strong>to</strong> look at. If you<br />

have a little trouble following<br />

Middle Eastern politiCS,<br />

you'll still be able <strong>to</strong> enJOY<br />

the mOVle.<br />

One can't help bemg awed<br />

by the images flashed across<br />

the giant screen that nms<br />

the length of the Fox stage.<br />

Even in the huge Fox, there<br />

isn't a seat that you'll have<br />

<strong>to</strong> squint from.<br />

And perhaps it was the<br />

movie, which tends <strong>to</strong> attract<br />

film aficionados, but everyone<br />

was quiet and paid attention.<br />

There were only a<br />

few people around me who<br />

had <strong>to</strong> be asked <strong>to</strong> shut up.<br />

Compared <strong>to</strong> the multiplexes<br />

where anybody can go<br />

- even those who don't<br />

know how <strong>to</strong> behave in a<br />

movie theater - <strong>to</strong> see a<br />

po<strong>or</strong>ly thought-out film on a<br />

screen barely bigger than a<br />

teleVision, a film at the Fox<br />

1S a treat that shouldn't be<br />

nussed<br />

Even if you're wearing<br />

sh<strong>or</strong>ts.<br />
