WO ADMITTANCE TO 'S nie BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF. (AP) — Michael Caine was Educating Rita. «, The outspoken Englishman said the last time he had won an award was for “most promising newcomer.” “I was beginning to feel I'd let the people who gave it to me down,” said Caine, a diréct, uncomplicated man who can adapt himself to any role without ‘the introspection of method-style actors. Chosen by the Hollywood Foreign Press last month, Caine said in a recent interview: “It's true, 've won nothing — except a couple of Academy (Award) nominations (Alfie and Sleuth). Those are the only things that have happened to me in between.” But before he became “promising newcomer,” his career had the usual pitfalls. He was once broke and out of work and auditioned for the part of Bill Sikes in the musical Oliver! He didn't get it. For Caine, who still bares traces of his cockney past, it was a big disappointment. “If 1 couldn't get a role as» tough cockney, what could 1 ol Oliver! ran seven years. “Late in the run, I drove past the theatre in my Rolls-Royce, and I thought to myself, ‘I could still be there, playing Bil! Sikes,’ ” he said. CHURNS OUT MOVIES Now Caine is churning out movies as fast as would-be actors get turned down at auditions. Next came Blame It on Rio, which 20th Century Fox released this month. He plays a businessman who takes his daughter on a Brazilian vacation and is seduced by the teenage daughter of his best friend. The seducer, played by lovely Michelle Johnson, appears seminude in scenes with Caine. “I told my wife to stay close to me at all times,” the actor said. He was recently in Beyond the Limit and has an un released film, Jigsaw, about defecting British spies. Caine has two more movies to shoot this year: Wa’ far-out farce by George Harrison's Hand Made Films, and The gun's Roman Between his eme recognition for Educating % 7 the Londoner, who was born Maurice Micklewhite 49 ago. He has earned millions, He has made dreadful films, such as X, Y and Zee, Beyond the Poseidon Adventure and The Hand. And he has had some good ones: The Man Who Would Be King, California Suite and Deathtrap. He also married, fathered a daughter and moved to the United States. He said he came here because he “wantg#t to become & name in American films, because I considered the English tax system unjust, because I believe it’s healthy to shake up one's life now and then.” DRIVES ROLLS-ROYCE Though he drives a Rolls-Royce and lives in a mountaintop villa, Caine hasn't lost his cockney roots or his sense of wonder of what has happened to him. He enjoys reminiscing about his early London days and how fate smiled on important occasions. He believes his life turned around when he joined a drama group in a boys’ club. in Tunisia. 1966 and his to Weavers’ contest May 12 The regular monthly meet- strate ‘‘computer-name ing of the Selkirk Weavers’ weave drafting.” and Spinners’ Guild, held Nancy Knight program Feb. 15 at Resker Hall in med the computer to draft Robson was attended by 15 three weaving designs for members and one guest, each member present ac Mary Jibiki of Fruitvale. cording to their names.

The Spanish-born Domingo, 42, surveys the world’s “big-four” opera houses in London, Milan, New York ana Vienna in his new autobiography published by Alfred A Knopf, My First Forty Years. 6 Domingo also appreciates the continuity of admin istration in London, where Sir John Tooley has been in charge since 1970 and tries to attend everything. “No director of any other theatre has seen as many of my performances,” he writes. ‘At the “monstrously large” New York Met, Domingo has worked under four different administrations since he first sang there in Adriana in 1968. In Vienna, he has performed under five administrations in 16 years. Widely regarded as the finest all-round singer in opera today, Domingo says a friendly relationship between the opera house executive and the artists is best for opera. At the Met, he found the atmosphere “cool and distant” during the celebrated rule of Rudolf Bing during 1950-72. But Domingo adds that he never had any problems with the autocratic general manager. REMAINS A STRANGER The Met is a friendly house, “but it is so immense that I still do not know half the people who work there,” he says. Domingo says many European singers do not like to spend a lot of time in New York. Not only are their homes and hearts in Europe, but they do not consider New York the most desirable place in the world to live in. Vienna’s problems are different. Domingo says the Staatsoper has the potential for producing the best results. It is the perfect size, the organization is expert, rehearsal facilities are splendid and public support of the institution is unquestioning. But the Staatsoper has “long been a breeding ground for intrigues and cabals worthy of the Hapsburg court to whieh it once belonged,” Domingo says. “Austria is the country in which opera personalities are talked about in the way that sports figures are discussed elsewhere, and the Viennese public is easily the most dedicated in the world. “The pressure on a Staatsoper director is, therefore, enormous.” Hence the constant administrative changes, Domingo says. EVALUATES LA SCALA Domingo calls Milan's Teatro alla Scala “a microcosm of Italian life.” “Maddening bureaucratic inanities are offset by brilliant i chaotic ing is d for by the wonder and beauty of the place itself and bizarre internecine strife alternates with warm and sincere cam- araderie.” The La Scala mentality is everything or nothing, Domingo says. If one component is unavilable, the idea of a whole production will be dropped. Domingo and the Italian singer, Luciano Pavarotti, are recognized as the world's two greatest tenors, performing to sold-out houses and commanding fees of $10,000 a night. The two men are said to be bitter rivals. But the book doesn't help much in confirming or denying the conflict.

Larry Hagman, J.R. Ewing on the hit prime-time soap opera, is taping 150 television spots that recap the previous and the coming episodes. These spots will be called Inside Dallas and will be used as promos for the series when it goes into syndication on more than 100 stations.

So the trailer each show. Producer back in business DALLAS (AP) — The photographs of producer Martin Jurow's wall are from another time — the late Natalie Wood at a birthday party, a young Marlon Brando with his arm around Jurow. “That picture up there is one of the few times you will have seen Marlon Brando with an arm around a producer, smiling,” says Jurow, who after more than 30 years as a movie producer and studio executive gave it all up and moved to Texas, away from the “degrading” language, the promiscuity and the violence in the material that was being submitted for him to do. In his 60s, he started a new career: He went back to studying law, passed the bar exam and went to work for the Dallas County district attorney. But after three years, he was lured back to movie production. He wanted to use his expertise to help struggling regional filmmakers, and soon found himself co-producing a movie based on a Larry McMurtry novel called Terms of Endearment. The film, starring Shirley MacLaine, Debra Winger and Jack Nichol is a hands-d hit and is to be nominated for several Academy Awards. Terms of Endearment was the first feature film directed by James Brooks, a veteran of Mary Tyler Moore television productions. Brooks knew actress Mary Kay Place, who knew Jurow’s wife, Erin Jo. He was nominated by the Directors Guild of America for its annual director's award. LARRY HAGMAN . . Dallas promos from the previous day telling PLANS MOVIE The phone rings. Jurow tells the casting director who calls that he is looking for a young actress for a new project, Sylvester. Slated to begin filming either in Texas or Wyoming this spring, it is the story of a “reject horse out of rodeo life” that enters the high-class, white-gloved world of dressage, the art of equitation. . The picture will be directed by Tim Hunter, who did the critically acclaimed Walt Disney production, Tex, in 1982. Jorow also wants to work on a film project for his friend, Frank Sinatra, produce a television series set in Dallas and he is preparing a project about the struggle between president Franklin Roosevelt and aviator Charles Lindburgh. Jurow, who has been associated with MCA and was president of Famous Artists, was once an executive with the William Morris talent agency. His clients included Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Jack Lemmon and Milton Berle. He's had his share of hits during his career, including Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Great Race. But he’s had failures, too. The Fugitive Kind, with Marlon Brando, Anna Magnani and Joanne Woodward was a costly venture. Brando was guaranteed $1 million, the amount he owed Anna Kashfi in their divorce settlement. Jurow paid for the next 10 years. “He never even saw it,” Jurow said. “We paid the money he owed to his wife, Anna Kashfi, for the divorce. It took a lot of profits I made out of Pink Panther because I pledged the profits of one movie to the losses of Fugitive Kind. But I loved doing the movie.” . ‘The “American journalist C1 of coverup from a Turkish prison where he was jailed for a terrorist murder, was secretly passed along from Turkish right-wing summing up the case for the so-called accuses the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and western governments of a “monumental coverup” in the shooting of Pope John Paul. Her theory that Bulgaria, and ultimately the Kremlin, was behind the 1981 Vatican assassination attempt is about to be tested: Italian authorities will soon either indict or release a Bulgarian suspect they have held for 14 months. If the ‘suspect, Sergei Antonov, a Bulgarian airline official, is not indicted it would tend to exonerate western intelligence agencies skeptical of the pyrported Soviet- Bulgarian link to Turkish gunman Mehmet Ali Agea's bid to kill the Pope. But if Antonov is indicted, Sterling may have fresh ammunition for her claim that western leaders “deliberately deceived” the world in order not to destroy East-West relations. The book, The Time of the Assassins, published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, is the fullest exposition yet of the conspiracy theory. to Turkish Mafia drug traders based in Bulgaria to agents of the Bulgarian secret service, who decided to use him as a hired killer. In August, 1980, he left Bulgaria, travelling through West Germany and elsewhere in Europe, eventually reaching Rome. At. some point, she says, orders went out from the Kremlin to the Bulgarian secret service to assassinate the Pope. The motivation: The Polish-born pontiff was encouraging the anti-Soviet Solidarity labor movement in Poland. THREE SPIES The theory maintains that in Rome, three spies from Bulgaria, among them Antonov, plotted the assassination attempt with Agca and drove him on May 13, 1981, to St. Peter's Square, where he shot and wounded the Pope and was immediately captured Sterling musters significant evidence tying Agca to Turkish s anfsmugglers, and the lers to Bulgaria's intelligence service.

Vecerjne Novine, a news- paper in this city playing host to the recent Winter Olym- pics, said Fahrudin Sahic, owner of the downtown Una restaurant, was overly en- thusiastic when he saw Doug- las and seven friends walk in last Thursday. The bill came to 54,000 dinars, or about $443, a con- siderable sum in this country where good dinners general- ly cost $10 to $20 a person. It should have been 5,400 din- ars, authorities said. In addition, Fahrudin ask- ed that the bill be paid in dollars. Such hard-currency payments are illegal here. ROSSLAND LIGHT OPERA PLAYERS Refuses LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael J.

Agcea was able to rattle off the telephorié‘numbers and addresses of the alleged Bulgarian agents, and to describe their apartments. But no physical evidence has surfaced to tie the Bulgarians directly to the shooting. Sterling says she doubts that a “smoking gun” will ever be found. She nonetheless assails between governments for doubting the so-called Bulgarian Connection, particularly criticizing CIA Director William Casey and former US. national security adviser William Clark. The book details instances of shoddy investigatory work, particularly by West German police, and Sterling concludes that western agencies’ “concealment, evasion, inertia and disinformation” d toa “ WE USE ONLY € PURE BEEFPATTIES S. ioe i IN OUR BURGERS, WATCH FOR WEEKLY SPECIAL POSTED AT OUR LOCATION MAPLE LEAF DEWDNEY TRAVEL TOURS 365-6616 8-666¢ COMMUNITY Bulletin Board MINOR BASEBALL GENERAL MEETING There will be an annual general meeting tor minor baseball held at the Arena Complex in the Arts and Crat- troom March 7 at 7:30 p.m. Everyone welcome. ot Coming events of Casth cover-up.” She attributes this to “the perpetual disin ion of western leaders to confront the Russians with their darker sins.” But at another point she says the CIA disparaged the Bulgarian Connection only because its agents did not uncover it first.
