A4 CASTLEGAR NEWS, April 22, 1981 Contributes to his success Producer keeps studying By Jerry Buck LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gene Reynolds has never es- caped the habit of going to school, He's not taking courses in leterature at UCLA, where he obtained his degree before the Second World War. When he left his job pro- ducing M-A-S-H_ to help de- velop Lou Grant for CBS, he enrolled in journalism classes. He hasn't acted since The Coiintry Girl and The Bridges of Toko. -Ri, but stil! takes acting lessons. “I study with Nina Foch," he says. “That's simply to help my re- lations with actors." Reynolds feels he has enough to do as executive producer and sometimes dir- ector of Lou Grant and cre- ative consultant to M-A-S-H. He says, “I've got plenty of challenges now. And I would never think of taking a job away from an actor.” . the classroom habit — which, along with research, is one of the secrets of the suc- ecas of Lou Grand and M-A-S-H — was not one shat came easy for by Reynolds and” his’ team. and to the meticulous manner in which Id child star in the 1920s, ‘He started at 10 in the Our Gang comedies and at 14 was under contract to MGM. He was in such pictures as Boys Town, Gallant Sons, and Santa Fe Trail. His specialty seemed to be portraying the heroes as young men: Robert Taylor in The Crown Roars, Don Ameche in Sins of Man, Ric- ardo Cortez in In Old Cali- fornia and John Keal in Madame X. ROAD WAS ROCKY Reynolds says, “It was a rocky road for a child actor. It's very hard on your edu- cation. I went to high school at the MGM Studios. It was hard for me to get through UCLA." Lou Grant, which start Edward Asner as the ir- ascible city editor of the Los Angeles Tribune, is the first successful television series about newspapering. That's due in no small part to the considerable research done the story with the writers. “That wasa practice Reynolds had successfully used on Room 222 and M-A-S-H. “Lou Grant was a new kind of show,” he says. “It has no melodramatic mements to hook the viewer. It’s a lit- erate show. It's a drama of a eity room and Its wonderful family. I-think it’s the first time anyone had looked at journalism and said there was drama in it. “We did the same kind of research to find the char- acters and the humor and the drama that we found in‘ the. M-A-S-H unit. It’s a very rich field. In the past the reporter had always been a crime re- porter. A euphemism for pri- vate eye.” Reynolds sees Lou Grant as a “conflict of ideas.” “The thing is todeal with it evenly,” he says, “and ‘ot mobilize the strongest ideas on each side of the issue. It makes for good drama, The think I lve about the show is that it has such variety. Such richs.-1 don’t think I could follow this with just a show about two guys and a girl. “We need an opportunity for a lot of curves in the story. M-A-S-H dealt with medicine, authority, war, the Korean culture. This is con- temporary and it deals with today’s issues and with our city room family, ““One thing we atrive for is journalistic dilemmas.. The strike story presented a dil- emma. So did the conflict of interest. You have a story about dumping toxic wastes, but in the 3 Billie “at Doreon Knutson of the Castlogar Aris Council epens the Community Act Show.

Other items of business But music is widely heard Composer is unknown By Yardena Arar LoS ANGELES (AP) — You may never have heard of -Charles Fox, but chances are you've heard some of his music. If you go to the movies, you might remember’ his Oscar-nominated songs Heady te Take a Chance Again from Foul Play and Richard's Window from The Other Side of the Mountain. On television, you've heard his themes for Love, Amer- ican Style (which won two Enimy awards), Wide Wolrld of;Sports, The Love Boat, Happy Days, and Laverne aad. Shirley, to name a few. And if you just like to relax to'pop: music, Fox has been there too, most notably with the 1978 Grammy-award win- ning Killing Me Softly, co- written with longtime colla- borator Norman Gimbel, A multi-million seller for Rob- erta Flack, the song has since been recorded internation- ally by more than 1,000 singers. Just this winter, Fox had his. own brief fling on the record charts, playing piano on his recording of Seasons, a stately orchestral piece based on Pachelbel's 17th century Canon in D Major that was 3 also used as the A Unique Restaurant The Crown Point 1895, featuring glant antique cabinets, turn-of-the century English and Italian stained glass, and much more.

RISEN TOTOP Composers — those who aren't singer-songwriters — generally are the unknown piano, the latter with Lenny Tristano, and also played with, arranged and composed for Latin bands. “I used to go from the P to the soldiers of ‘y mu- sic, and Fox is no exception. With little fanfare, the tall, 40-year-old ex-New Yorker has become one of the top all-round figures in contem- porary commercial music. On songs, he has at one time or another collaborated with such top songwriters as Paul Williams, Carole Bayer Sager, Sammy Cahn, Hal David, Bob Crewe and Gim- bel. Last year, Fox scored five major studio films: Nine to Five, Last Married Couple in America, Little Darlingg,. God, Book II.- His seemingly endless: jist of projects includes two pos- sible Broadway misicals. In 1979, along with composer- arranger Artie Butler, he de- signed and built Evergreen Recording Studios, catering primarily to the film and television industry. For the San Francisco Bal- let, he wrote A Song For Dead Warriors, about the plight of American Indians. And he’s currently working ona symphony choral opus in honor of Isracl’s Indepen- dence Day. TRAINING CLASSICAL In fact, Fox’s training was in classical music and jazz. A graduate of New York High School of Music and Art, Fox studied composition and jazz itan Opera, and stopped offat Broadway along the way,” he recalled during a_ recent interview at the Encino home wherc he lives and composes, Fox continued his studies, first in Paris with the re- nowned Nadia Boulanger and later at Columbia University where he got involved with the then fledging field of electronic music. Fox maintains his interest in electronic music ‘to .this day. But at the time it wasn’t .paying any bills and he con- Why Would i Lie? and Of“ tinged working in more cofn- mercial areas, “My dream‘was always to write music for film, because that was one place I could go back into composing and not just arranging.” And so: be began scoring whatever films he could — industrial and U.S. Information Agency documentaries, at first. He broke ‘nto TV first, with a number of game show themes, ABC's Wide World of Sports, and a special, Johnny Belinda. His first film scoring project, The Incident, came in 1967. Barbarella followed in 1968, and then Goodbye Cal- umbus, the project that — along with the Love, Ameri- can Style pilot led to Fox's migration here in 1970 his wife and their three children, Oriental Cuisine or Western Dishes We Cater to Parties of all sizes Phone in for Take-Out Service Sunday Smorgasbord 5 p.m. to s p.m. Mon.-Thurs, 11 a,m.-9 p.m, Friday 11 a.
