Two small steamers are in service.” In 1881 it was reported he had over 100 acres in cultivation Some 10 years later he was said to have 1.000 acres under cultivation with the crop yield said to be over one million bushels.

‘Logan’s Run’ MGM’s newest

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer is celebrating its second halfcentury in the film industry with Saul David's lavish, unique and provacative production of “Logan's Run, " starring Michael York. Jenny Agutter. Richard Jordan. Roscoe Lee Browne, Farrah Fawcett-Majors and Peter Ustinov. Directed by Michael Anderson of “Around the World in 80 Days” fame, and written for the screen by David Zelag Goodman, the futuristic adventure drama is based on the novel “Logan’s Run” by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. The film in Todd-AO and Metrocolor is released by United Artists, a Transamerica Company. It is slated to open at the Pickwick Theatre in Syracuse on Friday. Because of its concern about life 300 years from now, “Logan’s Run” became one of the most challenging projects ever undertaken by a group of film creators. Everything—exterior and interior settings, modes of transportation, food, drink, furnishings, clothing, laws, beliefs, jobs, hobbies, entertainment. jewelry, personal, habits, etiquette, manners, life styles, status symbols, even love — everything had to be devised and created especially for the film. The sets built at MGM were undoubtedly the most expensive erected at the studio since its great early days of musical spectaculars. Costs for interiors and exteriors would have been insurmountable if it had not been for the state of Texas. In Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth, producer David and director Anderson located the most advanced architecture in America and incoporated the futuristic structures into “Logan's Run.” Sets for “Logan’s Run” built at MGM studios were eye-popping! On Stage 15, largest sound stage in the world, two important backgrounds — Sandman Headquarters and the New You Shop — were constructed. The complete interior of Stage 30

housed two fabulous settings, the Ice Caverns and the awesome Carrousel, an ingenious product of construction knowhow, special effects wizardry- and inventive movie magic where an audience of 500 filled the arena to cheer the dozens of stunt people who portrayed Lastday celebrants striving for life renewal. Two sound stages were required to handle one single set for “Logan s Run.” An opening was made between two adjoining stages to provide space for the maze tunnel along which the fullscale maze cars sped. The electncally-powered, teardropshaped plastic bubbles are so w-ell designed that they can easily

be converted to actual street travel. Another stage was fully utilized to construct the decaying, vineinfested remains of the United States Senate chambers where Peter Ustinov lives with his hundreds of cats as companions. The felines, provided by Hettie Kram of Cat Care Shelter. West Los Angeles, lived on the set for almost two weeks ’ while performing their roles.
