"This is a thrill."

 

"This will be my biggest day of the year."

 

Those are a few of the random comments from 1,000 handicapped shut-in youngsters and adults who were special guests at the Cinerama production "Grand Prix" Monday at 1 p.m.

The special showing was presented by The Salt Lake Tribune and the Villa Theatre, 3092 Highland Dr.

 

The group arrived by bus and car from day-care centers, nursing homes and hospitals from Salt Lake City, American Fork, Provo and other nearby communities.

 

The rain failed to dampen enthusiasm of the group as the buses and cars were driven under the marquee to keep the passengers dry.

 

Another 1,000 special guests are expected to see the Cinerama movie again Tuesday.
