The play takes place in a small turn of the century town. River City, lowa. The River City citizens are stirred up by a con man who claims to be selling

band instruments. This character, Professor Harold Hill, is played by the wellseasoned actor and singer. Cap Pryor. One of the two persons in River City who can expose Hill is Marion Paroo, the librarian, played by Kay Rowe. The other is Marcellus Washburn, also a con man who has gone legitimate. Marcellus is portrayed by Randy Clayton. Legitimate? The mayor of River City. Mike Silveus. and his wife, Liz Davenport, work to find out if Hill is legitimate. Like any other small town. River City has many different happenings. Mrs. Paroo tries to “hook" Marion with Professor Hill But. Harold does bring some good into River City. For example. Winthrop Raroo. played by Tracy Bartow, is ver A upset about his father's death. But the anticipation of the Hill's Boys Band gives Winthrop some, much needed self-confidence Town Hoodlums Another example of the good Hill brings to town is seen in the change in the mayor’s daughter. Zaneeta Shinn, Laurie Pryor and the town hoodlums Tommy Djilas, played by Tim Bushong Tommy and Zaneeta were having a secret love affair, but when it was found out by the mayor. Hill smooths things over for the two. Hill is most surprised

as he himself undergoes a change of attitude. The mayor’s wife is determined to expose the citizens to her brand of culture. Also, conscientious parents are eager to protect their children from the sins of . the world. The supporting lingers, directed by Mrs. Ralph Bushong, and instrumentalists, under the baton of David Blackwell, are joining the actors, directed by Allen Zerkel, to make this a major all-school production for this year. Liza and the lucky Lady' “It took every ounce of craftsmanship you had ever learned, every bit of stamina, to do this picture,’’ says Liza Minnelli looking back on the five months she spent in Mexico this year making “Lucky Lady.” It was the only picture any of us had ever done, including the camera people, and director Stanley Donen and all the actors, where we were completely at the mercy of the elements.” “Lucky Lady,” filmed on a set in 1930 against a background of contraband liquor smuggling from Mexico to America, which in that era was “dry” under the strictures of Prohibition. For most of the 20 weeks it took to make, the unit and cast were based at the port of Guaymas. on the northwest coast of Mexico which offered little in the way of diversions on rest days. There were few rest days; Liza and her co-stars. Gene Hackman and Burt Reynolds, spent over five hundred hours at sea shooting scenes aboard the racing cutter “Lucky Lady” in the Gulf of California Certain scenes involved some 60 ships and 600 people, including boat crews, technicians, actors and extras But the physical and psychological hardships of making "Lucky Lady" were the result of two main factors: conditions aboard “Lucky Lady.” a ketch normally manned by a crew of eight but for filming purposes forced to put to sea with 50 persons aboard (including the stars), and the extreme monotony of life at Guaymas. a township midway between Los .Angeles and Mexico City, yet too far removed from either to be within easy reach on weekends. The show opens Friday at the Pickwick in Syracuse.

Bv ROSALYN JONES and BONNIE BJELLA The spirit of Easter has arrived at the library due to the talents of the Syracuse-Wawasee Garden club, the children s department has a lovely, large Easter egg tree which has been decorated with additional hand-decorated eggs made by the garden club. This is always a high point of the year’s decorations. The adult department is equally enjoying a beautiful arrangement featuring a white Madonna with Easter Lillies. We have many books, old and new and some records and magazines which deal with the Bicentennial history of our country. They are all good reading.

Knotts Tackles risky roll in 'No Deposit, No Return'

Chasing a skunk, sliding off rooftops, and taking a pratfall are all in a day's work for Don Knotts. "You go home stiff and sore and bruised up a little bit.” he admitted, “but if the laughs are there it's worth it.” Knotts has his most strenuous role so far in Walt Disney Productions' “No Deposit, No Return.” He is practically pulverized as a safecracker s sidekick who literally tumbles into one fine mess after another. “I spent a lot of time dangling from girders, falling off buildings and getting pushed put of cars." he said. “I like to do visual comedy, but I don’t take chances. When it comes to really dangerous stuff I let the stunt men take over, and then I walk in for the close-up." Although he has never been hurt in a movie. Knotts is usually pals with the liniment bottle before filming is over. In Disneys “Apple Dumpling Gang" he hung from a rope, fell from a ladder, and got jostled around in a bank heist. His pictures elsewhere, such as “How to Frame a Figg." “The Shakiest Gun in the West” and “The Reluctant Astronaut.” all had their slapstick moments. If things had gone differently, Knotts speculates, he might have been a stand-up comedian "I used to emcee all the assemblies in high school.” he said. “They always stuck me out there on the stage. I was the warm-up man for the principal. " Knotts earned his first moneyafter entertaining at a party. “It was supposed to be a freebie, but 'he host took pity on me and passed the hat. I got two bucks. I started charging five bucks after that." Eventually Knotts developed the characterization that has put him among comedy's immortals. He portrayed a jittery little guyon the verge of a nervous breakdown. < “But I wanted to be able to do other characters. The nervous man was one joke, really, and all the jokes were written around him. I found that I was a better visual comedian than a verbal one and I enjoyed doing pantomime and reactions and stuff like that.” Offscreen Knotts barely resembles the quavering wretch be once personified. He is calm and thoughtful and takes his comedy as seriously as any of the LAKELAND LOCALS Mr and Mrs Neal Cory of r 1 Milford hosted a dinner on Palm Sundav. Those attending were Mr. and Mrs. Walter S. Miller. Miss Donna Miller and Mr. and Mrs Fred Weisser and family, all of Milford; also visiting in the Cory home during the afternoon were Mr and Mrs Carl Yoder and granddaughter Anitra Lyn Pottenger. all of Goshen.

greats. Yet traces of his old image linger. "The public must identify with that uptight little fellow, or feel superior to him,” Knotts remarked. “In any case, when I play in golf tournaments and get off a good shot, the gallery really gives me a good cheer. And I like that.” “No Deposit. No Return” is Knotts' third film for Disney. His co-stars in the color by Technicolor comedy are David Niven, Darren McGavin. Herschel Bernardi, Charlie. Martin Smith and Barbara Feldon. The screenplay, about two youngsters who fake their own kidnaping, was written by Arthur Alsberg and Don Nelson. Joseph McEveety wrote the original story and served as co-producer under the executive producership of Ron Miller. Norman Tokar directed for Buena Vista release. It opens Friday at the Goshen theater.
