ENTERTAINMENT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Still
glowing from a hot though non-
record summer, the movie business
enters the fall season with something
a little different from the high-
budget, body-count films that
dominated the last three months.

The warm-weather box office
produced some big numbers, with Die
Hard 2, Total Recall, Dick Tracy and
Ghost passing the $100 million US
mark. Daily Variety's Art Murphy

calculates the 1990 summer is only six
per cent short of last year’s sizzler,
which amassed a record $719 million.

The surprises this year were a pair
of romantic fantasies, Pretty Woman
(3170 million) and Ghost (climbing to,
$100 million in only five weeks.)
Hollywood is hoping for more of-
fbeat hits in the fall product, which
leans heavily on comedy and drama
and less on violence.

There are a few promising films
among the fall harvest:

Postcards From the Edge, Meryl
Streep and Shirley MacLaine as
mother and daughter in Catrie
Fisher’s novel, directed by Mike
Nichols.

Awakening, Penny Marshall (Big)
directing Robert De Niro and Robin
Williams as amnesia victim and doc-
tor.

fellas, a Mafia yarn based on
the, Wok Wise Guy, featuring De
Niro and Ray Liota and directed by
Martin Scorsese.

Struggling authors take heart —
even the mightiest of literary lions
have suffered the slings and arrows of
rejection.

Spare a thought, for instance, for
the young Oscar Wilde who, having
submitted Lady Windermere’s Fan in
1892, received the following putdown
from a publisher:

“My dear sir, | have read your

manuscript. Oh, my dear sir.””

Or George Orwell, offering his
brilliant political satire Animal Farm,
only to be informed: ‘‘It is impossible
to sell animal stories in the U.S.A.””

Norman Mailer’s eventual best-
seller The Deer Park drew this war-
ning: ‘It will set publishing back 25
years.””

And Anita Loos’s Gentlemen
Prefer Blondes, the 1925 novel that
became a hit Broadway musical and
Marilyn Monroe movie, inspired a
disapproving, finger-wagging lecture
from her publisher:

“Do you realize, young woman,
that you’re the first American writer
ever to poke fun at sex?’’

It seems some of the most
poisonous, brittle, critical, and
humorous writing in literature may

Fhis—program will be live from
Shaw’s programming studio in

will talk to two members of the RC-
MP highway patrol and two driving

This program will begin with a
short segment that was taped during a
typical day for the highway patrol,
then the program will go to the studio
where the public can call to ask
questions of the guests.

Later _in the show, there—will_be

phone calls.

The phone numbers for this live
program entitled Street Smarts 2 will
be 368-5501 (toll free from Trail area)
and 365-3122 in Castlegar.

New releases lean
more on comedy, drama

White Hunter, Black Heart. Clint
Eastwood directs himself in a script
based on John Huston’s adventures
during the filming of The African
Queen.

Pacific Heights, a thriller with
Michael Keaton as a presumably
friendly neighbor to a couple,
Melanie Griffith and Matthew
Modine.

The Rescuers Down Under, a new
Disney animated feature and the first
sequel; Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor
repeat their voicing of special mouse
agents Bernard and Miss Bianca.

Dances With Wolves, Kevin Cost-
ner starring and directing an epic of
Western America.

Rocky V: The Final Bell, with
Rocky Balboa managing another
fighter this time.

If the fall season seems a bit
serious, that’s because the studios trot
out the dramas that might get lost in
the summer and, not coincidentally,
that might contain potentials for
Academy Awards.

Some of the better offerings in-
clude:

Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams, an in-
terpretation of the great director’s
dreams with a mostly Japanese cast

and Scorsese as Vincent van Gogh.

Desperate Hours, a remake of the
Humphrey Bogart-Fredric March
thriller with Mickey Rourke and An-
thony Hopkins directed by Michael
Cimino (The Deer Hunter, Heaven’s
Gate).

Reversal of Fortune, the Claus von
Bulow story starring Glenn Close,
Jeremy Irons and Ron Silver.

Avalon, Barry Levinson (Rain
Man) continues his trilogy of
Baltimore life that includes Diner and
Tin Men.

Texasville, Peter Bogdanovich’s
return to The Last Picture Show with
most of the original cast.

White Palace, Susan Sarandon and
James Spader involved in a mismat-
ched sexual adventure.

State of Grace, Sean Penn returns
to his childtood haunts in New
York's Hell’s Kitchen,

Miller’s Crossing, the offbeat Coen
brothers (Raising Arizona) return
with a mob-oriented drama starring
Gabriel Byrne and Albert Finney.

Comedies will also play a major
role in the fall season.

Alice is Woody Allen’s return to
comedy, with a cast including Mia
Farrow, William Hurt, Cybill

Fall films less violent

Shepherd and Alec Baldwin.

Sibling Rivalry stars Kirstie Alley,
Bill Pullman and Carrie Fisher in a
family comedy directed by Carl
Reiner.

Leonard Nimoy directs Gene
Wilder and Christine Lahti in an
ironic love story in ny About
Love.

Action-adventure isn’t being
neglected, though the offerings lack
the $50 million-plus budgets and high-
tech gimmickry of summer films.

A sampling:

Marked for Death, Steven Seagal
fights the drug lords.

Quigley Down Under, Tom Selleck
in Australia.

Memphis Belle, Mathew Modine
and John Lithgow in the World War
II air war.

Narrow Margin, Gene Hackman
and Anne Archer fleeing by train
from mob hitmen.

Steven King’s Graveyard Shift,
another offering from the fright king.

Misery, Rob Reiner directs, James
Caan in King’s story of a best-selling
author captured by a fan.

Night of the Living Dead, an up-
date of George A. Romero’s 1968
classic.

Child’s Play Il, the psychopathic
killer doll Chucky returns.

If none of the above catch fire,
theatre owners can look forward to
one of the most promising holiday
season in years.

REVIEW

have been penned by publishers.

There’s enough to fill a book, and
that is exactly what Andre Bernard
has done in Rotten Rejections. The
slim volume is a collection of some of
the most scathing examples of

Publisher rejections, often delivered
‘to writers of books now considered
immortal. we.

When Pearl S. Buck, the’ first
American woman to win the Nobel
Prize for literature, submitted The
Good Earth — a sympathetic por-
trayal of Chinese peasant life which
was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in
1932 — the publisher replied:

“Regret the American public is not
interested in anything on China.”’

Pierre Boulle’s The Bridge Over the
River Kwai drew this response: “A
very bad book.’”

When D.H. Lawrence submitted
the shocking Lady Chatterley’s
Lover, he was advised: ‘‘For your
own good, do not publish this book.’’

If publishers were rotten at times,
they also had to live with their costly
mistakes. For instance, the one who
told a competitor — speaking of John
le Carre whose best-sellers included
The Spy Who Came in From the
Cold: ‘*You’re welcome to le Carre —
he hasn’t got any future.”

Another said of H.G. Wells, whose
masterpieces included The Time
Machine and The War of the Worlds,
he’s ‘only a minor writer of no large
promise.’”

Or Rudyard Kipling, the mighty
poet of the British Empire and
England’s first winner of the Nobel
Prize for literature: ‘‘I’m sorry, Mr.
Kipling, but you just don’t know how
to use the English language.”

When Irving Stone took Lust for

Gogh, to the New York publisher
Alfred Knopf, he discovered it was
never even opened — ‘‘the package
with the manuscript got home before
I did.”” Another dismissed it as “‘a
long, dull novel about an artist.’”

Finally published in 1934, it has
sold about 20 million copies.

Ezra Pound, the poet and great
man of literature, must surely have
been left scratching his head over this
response to a 1912 poem — “‘The
opening lines contains too many r’s.””

Samuel Johnson, 18th-century
London author, satirist and critic,
was more specific in ticking off a

VANCOUVER — Labor lawyer Martin Levinson, who has
extensive experience representing unions, is the newest vice-chairman of
the Industrial Relations Council.

VANCOUVER (CP) — Premier
Bill Vander Zalm says the plan by the
chiefs of the Mount Currie and Lyt-

remarks he made about the Stein
Valley Festival ‘‘seems ridiculous."’

Festival organizer John McCan-
dless said the chiefs have hired legal
counsel and a writ for damages will be
filed shortly. He did not say what
amount would be sought.

“We will seek damages that result

Jim Matkin, president of the Business Council of B.C., said
Levinson’s appointment will be good for unions and employers alike
and his decisions will be fair and even-handed.

Labor sees the appointment as bad timing.

“*It seems to me someone with a labor background would bea little
more prudent in making decisions like that,”’ said Ken Georgetti,
president of the B.C. Federation of Labor. °

Georgetti agreed it could be in labor’s interest to have soméone
considered a strong labor advocate on the council but said B.C.’s labor
legislation prevents council vice-chairmen from making ‘‘reasonable”’

judgments.

Court won't second guess

VANCOUVER — Endorsing the Industrial Relations Council as
a specialized and unique agency, the B.C. Supreme Court has refused to
second-guess one of its decisions.

“‘There are sound reasons in policy and law for the legislative
decision to place great distance in the relationship between the courts
and the specialized tribunals,’’ the court said.

Justice Bruce Harvey dismissed a petition in which the B.C. Ferry
Corp. sought to overturn a council decision affecting the B.C. Ferry and
Marine Workers Union.

The decision involved a ferry worker's allegation that the union

Premier issues warning

COURTENAY — British Columbia will suffer if public wage

Vander Zaim said.

“*What we need is an awareness of what these big demands will lead
to,’’ Vander Zalm told reporters during a tour of this central Vancouver
Island communtity.

‘Historically public sector demands tend to lead private sector
settlements,”’ he said.

“*It seems to be happening again. And what I see happening is
almost a complete repeat of the early 80s and it worries me.””

The country gets most of its of-
fshore oil — about 350,000 barrels a
day — from the North Sea. Only
16,000 barrels a day usually come
from Iraq.

“We are-net exporters,’’ Epp said.
“The issue has always been not sup-
ply_as much as location of supply and
distribution.””

Competition within the industry
will be a key factor in determining the
size and timing of price increases,
Dawn Mitchell, a spokesman for
Husky Oil, said.

Gasoline prices in Canada have
held stable since Iraq invaded Kuwait
three weeks ago.

Alberta Energy Minister Rick Or-
man said Canadian companies have
been fairly responsible. ‘‘It’s-been a
lot different from the way the
Americans have reacted.””

Gasoline prices in the United States
have increased significantly since the
Iraqi invasion.

Canadian suppliers appear to have
made a decision to deplete existing
inventories rather than take advan-
tage of chaos in the world oil market,
Orman said.

inevitable, he said, because sooner or
later suppliers will have to replace
refinery stocks with -higher-priced
crude.

A price increase may not be all bad,
Orman said. It will encourage a more
“‘rational and reasonable’’ use of
fossil fyels, he said.

Higher prices for crude oil are not
