Fast audience draw to open Friday at Goshen
A half-century ago, a rawboned young kid named Marion Michael Morrison made his motion picture debut as a bit player in a Francis X. Bushman movie. Now, in 1976 and some 200 pictures later, John Wayne is celebrating his 50th anniversary as an actor. America, too, is celebrating. This is the Bicentennial year of this country and the two events seem, somehow, to go hand-in-hand. As producer Mike Frankovich puts it, “John Wayne has represented this country to the rest of the world for a long time. He is the image of America to millions of people in every land under the sun.” And so it is fitting that Frankovich singled out the Duke to star in his latest film, “The Shootist,” a Dino De Laurentiis presentation of a Frankovich/Self production for Paramount release. Directed by Don Siegel, “The Shootist” was screenplayed by Miles Swarthout and Scott Hale from the novel by Glendon Swarthout. It is the story of an aging, legendary gunfighter battling death in the Sierra Nevada foothill town of Carson City in 1901. It deals with

the final eight days in the life of this powerful but stricken man—eight days of violence, pain and retribution, but also days of peace, warmth and love. “This is the kind of picture you wait for,” Wayne said quietly. “They don’t come by often so when they do. you grab fast.” Quite a few others felt the same about this turn-of-the-century Western, for the cast includes Lauren Bacall and Ron Howard, who co-star with Wayne, and special guests James Stewart, Richard Boone, Hugh O’Brian, Harry Morgan, Sheree North, John Carradine, Bill McKinney, Richard Lenz and Scatman Crothers. “Sure, it’s the story of a man with a gun,” Wayne said, “but a man who used that gun only for the sake of justice. And it’s more, too. It’s really the story of a raw, young land learning to live with law, flexing its muscles to build a future and fighting for the right to freedom.” Fifty years and 200.

Documentary film telecast in Indiana on Thanksgiving
A special, one-hour documentary film about Indiana’s role in the Civil War, is scheduled to be broadcast on television Thanksgiving night in Indiana. The movie, “The Guns of September,” portrays the seriousness and consequence of the Civil War and documents Indiana’s role that led to a Union victory. The film is perhaps the most extensive work ever done in following one state’s involvement in the Civil War. “The Guns of September” is scheduled to be shown at 8 p.m. on WKJG, Fort Wayne and WNDU, South Bend. Sponsored and produced by Hook Drugs, Inc., the film will be available without charge after January 1,1977, to schools, clubs and organizations in Indiana. The documentary was commissioned by Hook’s as a bicentennial gift to Indiana citizens. Hook’s president, Norman P.
