As in Hitchcock, the harassed innocent fights back at last, and all ends happily with a spectacular smash-up at Chicago’s Union Station. The film’s strongest point is probably the train ride itself, which is a refreshing novelty, especially when in movie after movie we are treated to all that footage devoted to jets taking off and landing. And then there is all that beautiful and varied American scenery, which Director Arthur Hiller makes such good use of. RIDING THE RAILS ON A MAD ADVENTURE are Richard Pryor, Jill Clayburgh, Scatman Crothers and Gene Wilder in “Silver Streak,” a 20th Century-Fox comedy set aboard a luxury train. La Mision: Testimonio Comunitario “Silver Streak’s” main weakness, on the Other hand, is an uncertainty of tone, veering uneasily as it does from straight comedy, with Wilder as an inept, frightened hero, to conventional melodrama and romance. Cary Grant might be able to negotiate a transition like this, but Wilder seems lost in the role. Often he strikes one more as a man indulging in wish fulfillment than a credible actor. Jill Clayburgh, however, is just fine as the heroine, although for the last two-thirds of the film she has little to do but ask a battered Wilder: “Are you all right?’’ Patrick McGoohan seems hard put to keep a straight face as the villian and he does little else but that. Given the absurdity of his role, however, he can hardly be blamed. Ned Beatty has a few good moments as the federal agent. Richard Pryor gives the film a great lift when he makes his all-too-late entrance as a most unlikely ally of Wilder. His role as written strains one’s suspension of belief to beyond the breaking point, but Pryor’s marvelous face and superb sense of comic timing enable him to triumph over little details of that sort. “Silver Streak” is essentially harmless, but a few ill-advised obscenties and a needlessly graphic and rather badly done love scene make an aduit rating necessary. **** SINCE AMERICAN VIEWERS were first introduced to this British series some three years ago, the drama of the Bellamy family and their servants living “below stairs” has won a devoted if not large following. The fourth and final season in 16 episodes of “Upstairs, Downstairs” begins this Sunday, Jan. 16, at 9:00-10:00 p.m. on PBS Channels, 8 and 30 in the archdiocese. Whether you have followed the series from its start in the Edwardian London of 1903 or are just tuning in for the first time makes little difference because each episode is a self-contained drama, a single chapter in a continuing picture of life at the turn of the century. Of course, if you have watched the previous shows, you have a greater sense of the personalities, situations and inter-relation ships in which the series is so rich. If you have never seen it, this Sunday’s episode provides a good opportunity to sample the pleasures the series offers. Opening the show is a brief recapitulation of highlights from the previous series which serves to introduce all the main characters as well. as the historical period. The action begins with the June 1919 victory parade celebrating the end of the Great War. Lord Bellamy has remarried and the great house in London’s fashionable Belgravia district has only two upstairs occupants: Bellamy’s war hero son, James, and a family friend. Downstairs the butler, Mr. Hudson (Gordon Jackson), the cook, Mrs. Bridges (Angela Baddeley), the maid Rose (Jean Marsh) and three other servants carry on knowing that a full staff is no longer needed and that their future is in jeopardy. By the end of this first episode, a solution has been found that will keep them all on staff and in addition employ two former servants who are out of work. The remaining episodes revolve mainly around James Bellamy who follows his father into Tory politics, gets involved with an old flame, and takes a beating playing the stockmarket. There is even more drama in the lives of the servants who are tom between old loyalties and their own self-interest in the midst of the social ferment and hectic changes of the post-war era. Underlying the glitter of the Twenties was a great deal of poverty, dis-illusionment, and blighted hopes for a better future. The war had broken down the strict class structure of English life but for most citizens there was little chance for economic betterment. The greatest strength of this series has been its presentation of an historic era through the eyes of a single household, family and servants. By relating the private lives of these people to the social and political events of their day, these stories have a dimension far deeper than the sentimental veneer of the usual soap opera. The result may be backstairs history but, by showing both the upstairs masters and the downstairs domestics, its dual vision of the past affords a broader and deeper understanding of an age in which our own has its roots. As usual, the debonair and urbane Alistair Cooke introduces each program with succinct mini-essays on various aspects of the historical period. They help bring the story’s background into sharper focus and add thereby to the enjoyment of the series. One also learns a little bit of history painlessly but it’s only one of the dividends that comes with watching “Upstairs, Downstairs.” THE EMORY UNIVERSITY DEPART MENT of Music will present a Johann Sebastian Bach Festival during the weekend of Jan. 21-23 in Glenn Memorial Auditorium on the Emory Campus. Among those performing will be the Atlanta-Emory Chamber Orchestra, the Emory Bach Ensemble, the Emory String Quartet, the Emory Baroque Trio and James Bloy, organist from Maryville College, Maryville, Tenn.

The Festival is free, and the public is invited to attend. POR JOSE MONTERO Por segundo vez en nuestra comunidad hispana de Atlanta hablamos de una Mision, y, al hacerio, nos damos cuenta de la rapidez con que hemos quernado un ano. Efectivament, casi esta todavia reciente el impacto de aquel llenazo del ultimo dia de la primera Mision, cuando ya estamos hablando de la segunda. Y sin embargo, decimos, ha pasado un ano. Un ano, con un monton de acontecimientos en nuestras vidas y con una infinidad de gracias del Senor, no siendo la menor la Mision de 1976. No sabemos si lo merecemos o no; si hemos sido fieles a los propositos de entonces, o no; ni si hemos mantenido el calor de Dios en el alma y hecho fructificar la semilla que Dios sembro. No sabemos si lo merecemos o no, pero Dios es asi, y, una vez mas, con un amor inmenso, viene de nuevo a nosotros con la gracia extraordinaria de una segunda Mision. Mision que, como deciamos el ano pasado, es basicamente una invitacion y una 11am ada a la amistad con Dios, al perdon, a la reconciliacion y al crecimiento en la caridad y en la paz. Hace un ano, nuestra comunidad catolica testimonio de un modo masivo su hambre de Dios, su deseo de recibir la Palabra, dando prueba de su generosidad y de su ansia de .fratemizar en el Senor en un clima de espiritual alegria, durante los breves dias de la Mision. Es posible, sin embargo, que en aquella ocasion todavia quedaran muchos que, por diversas razones, no pudieran participar personalmente en la Mision. Pues bien, para estos muy particularmente y para todos los que tuvimos la suerte de vivir aquella experiencia extraordinaria va a celebrarse la segunda Mision Catolica Hispana de Atlanta, del 7 al 11 de febrero proximo en la Catedral de Christ the King. Quiere decir que Dios va a darnos una segunda oportunidad a nivel comunitario y seguramente espera que no le defraudemos. Dios espera una respuesta masiva. Que aquellos que estan lejos, se acerquen a El. Y que aquellos que ya le conocen y se dicen amigos, multipliquen su esfuerzo para que la luz de la Mision ilumine a TODOS LOS HOGARES de nuestra comunidad cristiano-catolica de Atlanta. Dios espera de todos nosotros un nuevo testimonio de fervor comunitario mayor que el del ano pasado. Y Dios espera que su Palabra de fruto! Es verdad que este depende en ultimo termino de El, pero en nosotros esta la obligacion y la responsabilidad de prepararle los caminos. La Mision empieza en Dios, pero termina en nosotros. No es solo obra del misionero y del equipo de cristianos que tan generos amente esta preparando los mil detalles que implica una Mision. ESTA ES OBRA DE TODOS, ya que sobre todos pesa el mandato de evangelizar y de compartir la maravilla de una fe slavifica que se nos ha dado para ser proclamada y compartida, y no para ser escondida egoistamente debajo del celmin. Ante el hecho extraordinario de una Mision nadie puede darse por excusado ni seguir de espaldas, refugiado en la seguridad egoista de una fe individual, al imperativo de evangelizar que abrasaba de impaciencia el alma de San Pablo. Hay muchos modos de participar en la Mision, ya sea perteneciendo personalmente a cualquiera de los comites organizados para preparar la Mision, o mediante una preocupacion personal, traducida en oracion, en propaganda, en arrastre evangelico, para que no quede un solo hermano sin participar en este beneficio espiritual de la Mision. Oficialmente, la organizacion y los trabajos de la permision se estan llevando a cabo, por sac er dotes, religiosas y seglares, en la Escuela de San Pio X, todos los jueves, a partir de las 7:30 p.m. Todos estan invitados a participar en estas reuniones. Pero no olvi demos que nuestra posibilidad de accion no termina aqui ni se limita a esta prestacion diractamente personal, si por diversas razones no podemos cooperar de este modo director. Cada amigo, cada vecino, cada hermano con quien compartimos el pan, el trago o la amistad, espera nuestro mensaje cristiano y nuestra invitacion, y puede ser un objetivo para nuestra accion. Solo asi la Mision sera obra de todos y dara el fruto que Dios espera. Primero, Dios. Pero para que El actue, no lo olvidemos, hace falta la palanca del amor a traves del compromiso personal y del testimonio comunitario.
