It is the intention of the museum directors to erect a building in which to preserve and display the collection that signifies the realization of the infancy of aviation and the vast potential of flight The museum will be a fitting tribute to all those who have played a part in the growth and development of Bell Aircraft and to the great aviation leader.

.a .fHu! Ik OPENS FRIDAY — Peter Fonda and Susan George are fugitives in a wild car chase in “Dirty Mary Crazy Larry.” an Academy Pictures production for 20th Century-Fox release premiering Friday with the co-feature “Vanishing Point” at The Pickwick Theatre in Syracuse. Adam Roarke and Vic Morrow co-star. John Hough directed from a screenplay by Leigh Chapman and Antonio Santean.

"Dirty Mary Crazy Larry" opens Friday at Pickwick

“Dirty Mary’ Crazy Larry’’ teams Peter Fonda, Susan George and Adam Roarke as a trio of wild-eyed fugitives who outrace a fleet of police cars in a crash-a-minute, top speed spectacular country-road chase. “It’s the movie with a stunt every five minutes,” says producer Norman Herman and the action includes 18 separate car crashes, a head-on collision with a train, a drawbridge jump of 50 feet, a crash through a billboard, a backward skid into a canal, a helicopter slamming into a car, innumerable turnovers and a truck-car collision. Peter Fonda goes from “Easy Rider” to “Easy Driver" as Larry the speed-crazy racing driver who masterminds a $150,000 crime to finance the building of a super car. Considered one of the brightest young acting talents in the film industry, Fonda’s recent credits include “Hired Hand" (which he also directed). “Idaho Transfer” and Two People.” Susan George proves the adage that a good actress can immerge herself in any character no matter how foreign it is to her personality. The English-born star of Sam Peckinpah’s “Strawdogs” plays Mary, a Californian sexpot who goes along for the ride in more ways than one The role marks the second American character she’s played, the first being in the recent “Sunny and Jed" with Telly Savalas. .Miss George who’s been an actress since age six also starred in “Billion Dollar Brain,” "Lola,” “The Looking Glass War" and “The Strange Affair.” Adam Roarke who rolled to stardom in motorcycle epics that included “Hell’s Angels on Wheels” and “The Savage Seven” plays Deke, Larry’s buddy in flight and crime. Roarke graduated from bike thrillers to star in and be acclaimed for his role in “Play It As

It Lays” last year. Vic Morrow, one of the screen’s top tough guys, this time wears a badge as the cop who directs the frantic chase. Among Morrow’s many films are "The Blackboard Jungle,” “Men in War.” “Portrait of a Mobster," "Death Watch" and “Cimarron." He also starred in a continuing role in “Combat." the hit TV series. Director John Hough, whose “The Legend of Hell House" scored big with critics and public alike, guides the high speed action and the colorful portrayals of the three stars. Hough's experience in directing TV's legendary action series "The Avengers" saw him in good stead with this fast paced drama With all the mechanical mayhem, however, there is no brutal violence in the film, none the horror, and blood-spilling generally shown in action motion pictures. "That's the unusual thing about ’Dirty Mary Crazy Larry,’ ” says producer Herman “As scripted by Leigh Chapman and Antonio Santean from Richard Unekis’ novel The Chase’, there’s explosive action but no real mayhem or killings." Stockton. California was the location of the film with cities such as Sonora, Clements Linden. Jamestown providing local color The walnut groves around Linden provided the racing arena for the cat and mouse 100 mile per hour chase As for the number of cars demolished during the furious action — if anyone’s counting, the number of totals is 18 “Dirty Mary Crazy Larry.” an Academy Pictures production for 20th Century-Fox release, premieres Friday at the Pickwick theatre in Syracuse John Hough directed.
