The Cinerama production, "Russian Adventure," was just that - an adventure - for some 800 Salt Lake area handicapped and shut-ins Thursday afternoon at the Villa Theatre, 3092 S. Highland Drive.
This was the annual special showing for less fortunate persons from children's hospitals, day care centers and hospitals in Salt Lake, American Fork and Ogden.

The event is sponsored by The Salt Lake Tribune, Fox-Intermountain Theaters and the Villa Theatre.
Several buses and cars streamed to the theater from 12:30 p.m. to showtime, which was 1:30 p.m.
"Russian Adventure" took the guests on a tour of Russia and showed spectacular shots of Moscow, the Volga River, Leningrad, the North Pole, and reindeer and dog-sled racing. It was narrated by Bing Crosby.
Thursday's show was aimed at bringing a Cinerama production to persons who ordinarily could not see it
