Init, Sting plays Macheath, a rakish brigand nicknamed Mack the Knife. Macheath is a cutthroat criminal, not to mention a devilishly handsome bounder and a ladies man The 38-year-old former bass player and singer for the Police certainly looks the part. The golden locks have been cut and slicked back. A mustache slashes the upper lip. But the eyesare as blue and as mesmerizing as when he first filled arenas across the country inging such hits as Roxanne and Every Breath You Take ROCKY START 3 Penny Opera opens Nov. 5 on Broadway after a bumpy out-of-town tryout Reviews in Washington were un favorable, especially for its star. ‘If you're going to see Stir fed one critic. “Slow and said another . prepare to be turgid stuff, Cast members reportedly were seen in New York auditioning for jobs ii other upcoming musicals. But director John Dexter and his company have*® worked “furiously on the show, and word of mouth, particularly during the New York previews, has improved “T've learned an awful lot,” Sting says. “1 know the character is-more convincing now than he was when | started rehearsals in August. There's more of mein Mackie, You start with a mask and you inject it with bits of yourself, I’m not saying you become a murderer or a particularly bad person 1 your life when you could be that person but there are moments Dexter, who won a Tony award in 1988 for directing M, Butterfly, has a reputation asa tough taskmaster HONEST DIRECTOR He's very demanding, but | find working with him very refreshing because he is very honest,"* Sting says If you're being rotten, he’ lltell you." Sting’s commitment to 3 Penny Opera is for nine months, the longest he has been in one place in 15 years. A new album, a concert tour and a new movie will have to wait until the show closes CBC planning movie on native’s murder WINNIPEG (CP) —\The CBC is planning to make a dramatic movie about the gruesome murder of Helen Betty Osborne, the case which cap tured national attention over the last Iwo years beeause of Hs racist over boies The story of how the native teenager was forced intoa car by four white men in The Pas, Man., and death by at least one of them seemed stabbed to like a natural for the network, said Jim Burt, CBC's creative head of movies and miniseries One of the kinds of TV movies we are concentratin; treatments of important real stories that we think haye important issue behind them,’ Burt said recently trom his Toronto office The fact the Osborne case went un olved for-16 years and several town residents knew who was involved all along will be a focus of the film, he said We are behind the fact that nobody did interested in what lies Sunday Brunch 10:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m Reservations 825-4466 anything about this for so long, and what lies behind the racism of the people who did the murder The Pas was media scrutiny during public hearing subjected to intense on the case this summer, conducted by Manitoba's native justice inquiry But residents would welcome such a film — if it’s done right, said lawyer Lore Mirwaldt, president of The Pas Chamber of Commerce “LE hope they’ come in here with an appreciation of what this tone has Mirwaldt said. ‘lt hasn't been an easy summer gone through, She said the town is trying to heal wounds 0} ned by the case, and the film could a ally help in that healing But she urged the producers to inter view residents, and not rely solely on the book Conspiracy of Sitence. Some say journalist Lisa Priest's account of the Osborné case inaccurately portrays The Pas, Mirwaldt said I'd certainly encourage them (the CBC) tocome and speak to people here about what this town is like now,”" she said ‘The Pas of 1971 was just that 1971. The Pas of 1989 has changed.” CBC-TV has bought the rights to Conspiracy of Silence, bu! also plans todo its own research, Burt said Osborne, 19, died in 1971 but it wasn't until 1987 that Dwayne Archie Johnston and Jim Houghton were brought totrial Johnston was convicted of second degree. murder, while Houghton was acquitted COMMUNITY Bulletin Board In aid of the Group.

Gary Worth, a pulp worker from Kamloops, was acclaimed to the top position of the 40,000-member national organization earlier this week in Sudbury, Ont He believes his. organization, traditionally a rival of the 275,000 member federation, will work with the federation on some issues The greater willingness to cooperate comes in part from the fact Worth’s own union, the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers’ of Canada, bargains jointly with the Canadian Paper workers’ Union, which is an affiliate of the federation, he said The finance minister also sent a strong signal to provincial premiers one week before they are expected to press for changes to the proposed tax during a first ministers conference on the economy in Ottawa. Canada’s 10 premiers could demand Wilson reopen negotiations on a sim pler, joint federal-provincial sales tax But Wilson, who broke off talks with the provinces last April on a joint tax, suggested he won't listen to calls calls next week for new sales tax talks. “Until they come up with an option, an alternative that they've agreed on, that they (provincial officials) can get support of the premiers of their gover nments, I don’t think there's an awful lot of benefit to be gained by going through another interminable debate on something that I don’t think is going to produce a result,” Wilson said Cominco purchases interest VANCOUVER — American Inc., a wholly owned sub sidiary of Cominco Ltd ced that it has purchased a 50-per-cent interest in the Glenbook nickel smelter from USA Investments Inc Cominco American is now a partner in the nickel smelter operation with Cominco Resources International Lid., a 60.9 per cent subsidiary of Cominco Ltd Ihe Glenbrook nickel smelter, located in Riddle, Ore., smelter, in the United States.
