PAVILION, SELSEY. A quest for treasure in a city lost to the world for 2,000 years forms part of the adventure in "TREASURE OF THE GOLDEN CONDOR," a Technicolor production starring Cornel Wilde and Constance Smith.

Helping him are a burly Scotsman and his beautiful daughter. "VENETIAN BIRD," main attraction for the second part of the week, stars Richard Todd, Eva Bartok and John Gregson in an exciting British thriller. Richard Todd portrays Edward Mercer the private investigator who is sent to Venice to find a certain brave Italian.

Before he knows where he is, Mercer finds himself suspected in turn of murder and assassination, and becomes involved in desperate political intrigue. Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride take their customary roles in "MA AND PA KETTLE GO TO PARIS.' Pa's innocent "good neighbourliness" in taking an envelope of secret documents through the French Customs lands them in a ruthless espionage ring. Riotous incidents follow the Kettles at every turn before this holiday spree draws to a close with Ma and Pa homeward bound as heroes of two continents.
