mann. Philip Bruns. Roderick Cook and Kelly Jean Peters. "The Great Waldo Pepper is the story of men who loved to fly. Like other flyers of the period. Waldo could not face the prospect of life on the ground, of not "being able to see the clouds from above.” Robert Redford, who was directed by Hill in the highly successful “The Sting” and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” has a role made to his magnetic measure as Waldo — brash, iconoclastic, possessed by a passion for flying, and given to dreams of glory. In addition to "The Sting.” for which he won as

Academy Award nomination as Best Actor, his most recent roles have been in “The Way We W’ere.” “The Great Gatsby" and the upcoming “Three for The Condor." Swedish-born Bo Svenson heads the co-starring cast as Axel Olsson He began his professional career off-Broadway, then was signed for television roles in episodes of “Here Come the Brides.” “McCloud” and other series. He also appeared in the ABC Television Network production of “Frankenstein.” In the role of a German World War I flying ace who finds himself in Hollywood doing stunt work. Bo Brundin is making his Hollywood film debut. His only previous appearance before the camera was in Jerry Lewis’ “The Day the Clown Cried.” Susan Sarandon, cast as a spirited small-town girl who becomes involved with Waldo and Axel, went from summer stock to a film debut in “Joe.” Broadway audiences saw her in Gore Vidal’s “An Evening with Richard Nixon,” and television’s “A World Apart” and “Search for Tomorrow.” On the strength of her performance in “The Great Waldo Pepper,” she won a costarring role in Universal’s “The Front Page.” t Margot Kidder, as the girl Waldo comes back to when he is injured in air accidents, won a Gold Medal Award as Best Actress of 1973 at the Atlanta Film Festival for her dual roles in “Sistars.” She made her American film debut in “Gaily, Gaily” and was a regular in television’s “Nichols” series. Building burns at Bill Hapners The Syracuse fire department was called to the residence of Bill Hapner, one half mile north of the railroad on CR 300E. where a building was on fire. The cause of the fire is unknown. Syracuse trucks one, two and three answered the call. The Milford fire department was also called.
