...other principal target is a huge, walk-through tableau titled Roxy's, a 1961 re-creation of a 1943 wartime brothel in Las Vegas. One of the girls, Five Dollar Billie, is a mannequin with a virtuous face but a ravaged body (symbolized by a stuffed squirrel climbing out of her breast) lying on a sewing-machine table. Like a pathetic machine, she Yo-Yos pelvically if a spectator peddles the foot treadle. Adding a sardonic note is a call-to-arms portrait of General MacArthur and a sergeant's jacket, bedecked with a good-conduct medal...
...banks of the Mekong River, was alive with revelry. Shapely Thai strippers wriggled through their acts while giggling Buddhist monks and greasy-haired village sharpies looked on. A magician sawed a girl in half. Sarong-clad farmers swilled down rice whisky, then took their turns at the local brothel. But the most unusual attraction in Tat Phnom last week was a network of foxholes from which, for a penny a round, villagers could fire at targets with authentic .30-cal. machine guns.

Titles like Ravines of Desire and Agonies of Newlyweds, publicity teasers about "thrills and terrors in brothel lynching" instantly proved such big box office that eroduction totals have doubled every year since. This year the output will be 120, and their hottest starlet, lusty 18-year-old Takako Uchida, has not been given a day off since last spring. By next year the figure should reach...
...clear that Orozco's fame rests on more than subject matter. Though Orozco turned his back on the tradition of Paris, calling it a city "old, ruined, miserable-an immense brothel, a moldering cadaver," he shows by his extraordinary draftsmanship that he owed as much to his spiritual pilgrimage to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and El Greco's Toledo as he did to the allegiance of his Indian blood. The sketch (17½ in. by 22 in.) for one of the figures in Orozco's mural in the rotunda of the University at Guadalajara is more...
