Travel-On Motorcycle Company is having its summer sale. 10 off cn any cycle pur chased this month. 504 West Franklin. Honda, Triumph, Suzuki. "Cut!" "Good, Dick." Approximately 75 onlookers let out their breath and begin chattering again. There will be about a ten-minute wait before the next scene is shot and they have to be quiet again. The occasion is the filming of Killers Three, the second Hollywood film to be shot in Piedmont North Carolina in the last six months. It is being made by American-International Pictures the same company which will release Three in the Attic, Chapel Hill's contribution to the industry, this August. In addition to starring, Clark is financing the production of the film. He also co-authored the story on which the comedy is based. "Our production company has made seven films," Clark said, in a filming break here last Wednesday afternoon. "We started in '59 with Because They're Young, and our latest in The Savage Seven." The company also produces Clark's weekly television program, "American Bandstand." The film is actually set in North Carolina, in 1947. "We picked Ramseur," Clark said, ISG Offers Charter Flight Plan There's still time for that trip to Europe this summer!

They had moved to Coleridge for additional filming, shooting which would Involve Robert Walker Jr. and Diane Varsi in a rural setting. Walker, the son of Robert Walker and Jennifer Jones, was occupied in the kitchen of a shack being used for filming. Miss Varsi was sitting in the back yard, resting, mopping her forehead with a cool towel brushing away the chickens clucking at her feet. It was that hot afternoon last week that finally culminated in a hailstorm around 6:30. But it was only 2:30 now, and the temperature was above 90 degrees. The crew and cameramen worked without shirts. Neighboring women and children were constantly coming and going some bought cold drinks, others sat fanning their babies and dreaming, no doubt, of being discovered. "One thing I hate about the South is bugs," young Dickie Clark remarked to his father. "Yeh ... but the people are nice." Summer without a seat allocated for him. The cost for children from two to twelve years of age is $150. The ISC now has pamphlets and books available listing living facilities and tourist attractions for the European traveler. Connecting flights from London to all major points in Europe may be arranged in advance. The ISC will be glad to assist the student in planning his desired itinerary. Applications for the UNC Group Charter No. 2 flight are now available at the International Student Center. All applications must be returned along with the full payment for the flight by July 6 to assure a seat reservation. Checks should be made payable to "UNC Group Charter Flight No. 2." For additional information interested persons may call Steve Mueller at 933-5099 or drop by the center from 4-6 p.m. Monday through Friday. ONE HOUR CLEANER THREE HOUR SHIRT SERVICE , EASTGATE SHOPPING CENTER WEAVER STREET, CARRB0R0 And the people, truly, had sacrificed every bit of their daily routine to watch and be near their Stars and Starmakers. One woman confided to Clark that she had gotten home so late from watching yesterday's fuming that she had no supper for her husband. "I wish you could do something about these bugbites," Robert Walker jokingly says. "I can ... I can," a Coleridge housewife volunteers. "Fatback. Here's some fatback, rub it on the bites." The actors and crew do so maybe these people are right, anyway it itches so badly ... Director Bruce Kessler walks out of the small kitchen. Apparently filming is finished in there. Thank goodness, their faces say, it's so hot. The story has Walker married to Miss Varsi. Clark is a friend. Maureen Arthur the sexy Hedy LaRue in How To Succeed In Profs Murder Highlights Film By HARVEY ELLIOTT Tar Heel Features Professor Walter Spearman died last Monday as a result of gunshot wounds inflicted by Dick Clark. What??? In reel life, not in real life, that is. For the UNC journalism professor is one of a number of local people recruited for bit parts in the new Clark picture Killers Three. "I play a fellow name Miles Fremont, owner of a little country store," Spearman said. "While driving along in my pickup truck, the killers (Robert Walker and Dick Clark) flag me down and ask to borrow a jack to fix their flat tire. "I tell him to bring the jack back to my filling station and that's where I have my big death scene, Spearman continued. "While they are fixing the tire, I have called the sheriff and we've laid an ambush for them." Shades of Bonnie and Clyde? Not hardly. For the PETE THE TAILOR may take a little longer may charge a little more wi I do WELCOME TO THE SUMMER SCHOOL STUDENTS For ALL Your Flower Needs it's ... UNIVERSITY, FLORIST 124 East Franklin Business Without Really Trying-plays Clark's girlfriend, but she had finished her scenes in a week and left. And the others look a little tired now, too. "Let's face it," one of the set crew said, "there's not much nightlife in Asheboro," where they're staying. "We wanted to go into Chapel Hill one night just to get something good to eat but an hour up there and an hour back is just too much. After eleven hours of filming." The stars have left. The vans and trailers and buses have pulled out. And the people of Coleridge and Ramseur are settling back into their normal existence although one blond teenager was asking the director if she could ride back to California with the crew. "No. I'm sorry, we're going to New York." Oh. So she returned to the yard of the shack and played a last Frisbee game with the boys on the set crew. "informers" are the losers in this incident. "Walker gets out of his truck to return the jack. The sheriff grabs the killer's small son and holds the boy in front of him," Spearman described. "But we don't know that Dick Clark is in the truck. Clark shoots the sheriff, then shoots me." The professor is dead. The mechanics of the death scene are interesting. None of the actors simply fall down and die. They are intricately rigged up to simulate the blow from a shotgun blast. "They tied this wide leather belt around my waist, under the coveralls," the victim described. "A steel cable was attached in the rear and, when the gun went off, the cable jerked me backwards a couple of feet, where I landed on a mattress." The "blood" wasn't ketchup, but a thinner, red liquid. "Very effective," the dead man said, "it even scared me." But at ieast he lived to tell about it. a better job. 13312 E.
