an unfortunate and remarkable catalogue of fi nancial disaster King Kong opens this month By BOB THOMAS LOS ANGELES AP First you see the eyes dark gleams of brooding menace under huge brow Then back view as he shoulders his way through towering trees Finally the full frontal Kong all 40 feet of him as he stands ready to pluck the white maiden offered by the island natives as sacrifice Thus the first theatrical reap pearance of Kong back after 42year screen absence The Dino DeLaurentiis production of King Kong will be opening in 1200 Canadian and US cities this month and it may well make Jaws seem like min now That was the impression gained from watching couple of reels of the $24million film with John Guillermin the 50 yearold director who has seen it through 18 tough months Guillermin was in state of exhausted elation the day he was interviewed he had put the finishing touches on the twohour11minutefilm feel good about it he re flected in his office at the MGM studio where most of King Kong was shot havent made too many movies that am proud of but like this one believe that even thinking people will be able to enjoy it When Guillermin who got his start in films in England em barked on King Kong in sum mer 1975 he had his first and only viewing of the 1933 origi nal hated it he remarked The special effects were well ahead of their time but the rest of the film was potboiler And yet the theme was fascinating non sense but loved it The story touches on all areas of human emotion It deals with every fear that women have and it also ap peals to mens masculinity Kong the innocent in ra pacious world is sacrificed at the end Its absolutely Shake spearian BURTON AVENUE lNllEl IlllttlL BARRIE POINTS T0 PQNIQER Mrs Mary just didnt think By DOROTHY KILBLRN Mrs
