fsl ■' I OPENS FRIDAY — Gregory Peck and David Warner try to unravel the terrifying mystery of “The Omen" opening Friday at the Pickwick Theatre in Syracuse. Lee Remick, Billie Whitelaw co-star in the 20th Century-Fox release.

'The Omen 1 starts Friday at Syracuse

Twentieth Century-Fox’s “The Omen” starring Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner, Billie Whitelaw and Patrick Troughton opens Friday at the Pickwick Theatre in Syracuse. Directed by Richard Donner and written by David Seltzer, "The Omen” was produced by Harvey Bernhard with Mace Neufeld as executive producer. Charles Orme was associate producer. The story of "The Omen” relates to a prophecy in the Bible, the Book of Revelations, which foretells the coming of Armageddon, the final confrontation between the forces of good and evil, that will be set off by the birth of the Anti-Christ — the son of Satan — in the form of a human who will at the outset be mistakenly greeted by mankind as a saviour. The words of the prophecy are: When the Jews return to Zion and a comet rips the sky And the Holy Roman Empire rises Then you and I must die. From the eternal sea he rises Creating armies on either shore Turning man against his brother Til man exists no more. Many Biblical scholars have noted that these conditions can be slotted into our times — now! The Jews have returned to Zion. A comet has swept across the skies and as for the rise of the Roman Empire, scholars have interpreted that as the formation of the European Common Market. What if these signs did indeed signal the coming of the AnitChrist through whom "Satan would wage his last and formidable offense?" How would the fact of his being the son of Satan be concealed until the right moment? To whom would he be bom — or placed with — until he reached manhood? What would the consequences be to the people who raised him thinking he was an ordinary child? And how would his being in a position of ultimate worldly power be assured*’ Drawing on these questions, “The Omen" is an ultrasuspenseful mystery thriller which remains true to its source. Gregory Peck who in recent years has turned his energies to film production with “The Trial

of the Catonsville Nine" and “The Dove” returns to acting in the role of the Ambassador to the Court of St. James. Lee Remick is his wife, caught up in a web of seemingly inexplicable tragedies. British star David Warner is a press photographer who stumbles upon a frightening clue to mysterious events. British actress Billie Whitelaw is Mrs. Bay lock, nanny to the five-year-old son of the Ambassador who arrives unannounced from "the Agency” and presents herself to her new charge with the chilling words: “Fear not little one. I’m here to protect thee.” Patrick Troughton is the priest who tries in vain to warn the ambassador. And Holly Palance, daughter of Jack Palance, makes her motion picture debut as a young nursemaid. Principal photography on the film continued for eleven weeks on locations in southern England with brief visits to Rome and Jerusalem for key exterior sequences. There were two weeks of shooting at the film’s production base, Shepperton Studio Center outside London. A further three weeks were spent at Pyrford Court near Ripley, a onethousand acre estate with imposing sixty-room mansion, early 18th century in style. Lynn Hively in accident in Elkhart Lynn B.

Wed., Sept. 29,1976— THE MAIL-JOURNAL

Double feature starts on Friday at Goshen

When Robert Lewis Taylor set out to write “A Journey to Matecumbe,” from which Walt Disney Studios made the motion picture called “Treasure of Matecumbe,” he simply wanted to provide entertainment. “I was bored with messages of all kinds — right, left, and center,” Taylor said. “I thought it would be fun to write a book that would be fun to read." What resulted was a hugely successful novel about a young boy and his chance companions on a wildly funny, often hairraising flight down the Mississippi to hunt for buried treasure on Lower Matecumbe in the Florida Keys just after the Civil War. Johnny Doran, 13, plays Taylor s youthful hero in the movie version and Robert Foxworth, Joan Hackett, Peter Ustinov and Billy Attmore are among his traveling companions. "My inspiration for the story,” Taylor said, "sprang from my family’s residence, year after year, in the Florida Keys, certainly the most fascinating and curiously alien part of the Republic. “We lived on Matecumbe which, once Spanish, bears the oldest remaing place-name in the United States. Coming to know the elderly citizens there, I thought it a pity that knowledge of the old Keys life might die with them, so I resolved to do what I could.” Taylor sought out friends like Cecil .Green, a Keys fishing guide, and went from island to island, talking with sun-wrinkled old timers. "Lore clung to them like barnacles to a piling,” Taylor said, “and their memories were sharper than knives.” He heard about the days when island communities were separate from each other, when people boated to neighboring Keys on Sundays to hear a

traveling preacher, when hurricanes regularly destroyed their homes and they had to start over. Taylor also heard about the offish Seminole Indians who, in 1836. declared war on the United States that lasted until 1975. A missionary took him to Seminole villages, then left him in one where the Chief spoke English. "I learned a great deal about the Seminoles’ means of existence,” Taylor said, “and even broke through at last to be paddled by dugout to other villages whose inhabitants were still aware of the ‘war’ that then, of course, was formally still on.” Taylor grew up within a few miles of the Mississippi, and he chose to start his story there. “And since two greatgrandfathers with numerous kin had gone to the Civil War, I had types aplenty for characters such as Jim Bumie (played by Robert Foxworth in the movie) who strolled through life with a curious, reckless ease. “Dr. Snodgrass’ (enacted by Peter Ustinov) was inspired by dress' from the tailgate of his covered wagon as he moved from Southern hamlet to hamlet. And if his hypnotic effect, talking, was such that rustics bought spectacles lacking glass, they doubtless got their money’s worth in entertainment and suffered no harm,” Taylor said. Taylor had been through a major hurricane while living in the Keys, so it seemed to him both proper and dramatic to end his story on that general note. The screen adaptation was written by Don Tait, directed by Vincent McEveety and produced by Bill Anderson under Ron Miller’s executive producership. Filmed in color by Technicolor, "Treasure of Matecumbe” is released by Buena Vista.
