Show Sugar House, Utah -Thursday, June 20, 1957 EAST INDEPENDENT page 2 SOUTH SOUTHEAST THEATRE STARDUST (the iweetest spot .n town) A WEEKLY FEATURE OF THE SOUTHEAST THEATRE IN SUGARHOUSE ERA OF YOUNG PEOPLE RE -- LIVED IN WARNERS' THE SPIRIT OF ST: LOUIS' ' ' j ! J! , - PI "The Spirit Of St Louis," a dra-matization of Charles A. Lind-bergh's historic transatlantic flight, premieres Sunday at the Southeast Theatre after almost two years in the making. In Cinemascope and Warner-Colo- r, the Leland Hayward-Bill- y Wilder production for Warner Bros., is based on the Pulitzer Prize book by Lindbergh, who spent more than 14 years in preparing his fantastic adventure story for publication. With James Stewart in the star-ring role, the picture was filmed over half the world on a location tour that took the company al-most 20,000 miles for air and ground shots. It tells the story pf the young Lindbergh's daring flight, alone and nonstop, from New York to Paris in 1927 an achievement that opened up the skyways for modern aviation. The company filmed scenes in New York, New England, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, France, England, Ireland. Exact replicas of the famous Lindbergh mono-plane were built espcially for the production and flown on Lind-bergh's route. , For Stewart, the role of Lind-bergh is a highspot in his distin-guished career. A civilian and World War 11 flier himself, he was especially qualified to enact the man who has been called the world's greatest, and certainly most famous, aviator.

"A man standing next to the Great Pyra-mid in Egypt is dwarfed by it. But a man standing beside an orange crate can make the crate seem amost as large as the Pyra-mid--- if the man happens to be less than two inches tall." An unlikely comparison? Not at all, for in "The Incredible Shrinking Man" Grant Williams spends about a third of his time as a man less than two inches tall. In the course of the film he shrinks from 6 feet to a half inch in height. Since the studio couldn't actu-ally shrink Williams, it had to enlarge every item on every set on which he appears, the en-largement being scaled to what-ever size he was supposed to be at that point in the story. Some of the articles were mere-ly doubled in size, others were built 25 times as large and on many the work order read: "Du-plicate on a scale 100:0." . The set representing the base-ment of Williams' home, for a long sequence during which he is two inches tall, was so large that it had to be distributed over nine separate sound stages. Had it been put together as a single unit it would have measured over a mile long and nearly three quar-ters of a mile wide. To create such monstrosities as a paint can 55 feet high, a wedge of stale sponge cake 18 feet high, a pair of scissors 25 feet long and a three-penn- y nail that was seven feet long, and other oversized replicas of such ordinary objects U-- I had to allot a budget to "The Incredible Shrinking Man" that was higher than any ever ex-pended on a science-fictio- n thriller in the history of the studio, |
