Box 26767, Tucson, Ariz. 85726 By Robert Shelton Tokyo calling! by way of Honolulu. Allison Donnellan Productions, based in the Hawaiian capital, has been calling to make arrangements to use the backgrounds of Southern Arizona and Old Tucson for commercials for Japanese TV. Apparently the success of the Japanese Dr. Pepper spots filmed at Old Tucson in May has prompted interest of other advertisers.

Cowboys and the American West are very popular in the Orient, and that theme is being used to promote many internationally known products for those markets. George Peppard, who's just bowed out of the successful "Banacck" segments of NBC's Tuesday Mystery Movies, was in town last weekend. Well established as a star before undertaking that television show, he's giving up the grinding demands of a regular series and turning his hand to writing and directing. George just completed an original screen play with Louis Antonio called "The Saga of Longjohns," an outdoor action drama dealing with motorcycles and old steam trains at the turn of the century. In his first visit to Southern Arizona since starring in "How the West Was Won" (filmed in 1963), George and I scouted railroad lines where he might operate our 102-year-old steam locomotive, the Reno.

We flew the railroad tracks from San Manuel to Hayden, and Magma to Superior in a Hudgin's chartered plane piloted by my son Robert Shelton, Jr. George, the star of "Blue Max" and an experienced pilot himself, wanted to fly as low as possible to get a good look at the terrain, but when our wheels just barely cleared the high-power lines crossing the tracks we both decided that was close enough to the ground for a good look and Blue Max gave thumbs up for more altitude. After'two days of location scouting, George headed for conferences with his Texas partners on the theatrical film but hopes to be back for a September start date. Gene Nelson has been tapped to direct "Mark of Zorro" for 20th Century Fox. He was in town for a couple of days walking locations and blocking out the script, definitely set for shooting here early this fall.

Though he's turned his talents to directing in recent years, many will remember Gene's second lead part and dancing in the "Everything's Up to Date in Kansas City" number in "Oklahoma," some of which was filmed near Patagonia. F. A. Miller, an independent producer for the Jamez Company of Hollywood, phoned a few days ago to inquire about shooting schedules. He'd like to fit in 12 days of filming for a western drama in October or November, their first of this genre.

"The Boldest Legend," a 90-minute TV special by Golden Phoenix Communications of New York, has been pencilled in for 24 days of shooting starting late this fall. The script by Doug Hall (who also wrote the Academy Award winner "The Great American will star Martin Sheen and Michael Pollard. It'll be Mike's first return here since he starred for Jack Warner in "Dirty Little Billy." We just learned that Fred Hakim, actor and constant companion of Rod Taylor, was killed in an auto accident en route to a mountainous night-time shooting location in Yugoslavia. Fred and Rod Taylor have many friends in Tucson from their "Bearcat" series days filmed on location here. Phil Feldman has been appointed executive producer of Kirk Douglas' "Posse," set to film here in October.

One of Hollywood's top producers, his outstanding credits include "The Wild Bunch" and "Powder Keg." Kirk's Bryna Productions also has named Howie Pine as production manager for this feature. Howie's father was the Pine of Pine-Thomas Productions which made many famous early-day Paramount westerns. They were in Southern Arizona in the 1950s to film "The Last Outpost" which starred Rhonda Fleming, Bruce Bennett and now-Governor-of-California Ronald Reagan.
