SUCCESS OF
PLAY DUE TO
BAD MOVIES

By DAVID LANG
Canadian

Press
VANCOUVER — Crash! Godzilla bursts through a
wall. Zap! A flying saucer hovers outside a window. Eek!
The Mummy looms from behind a door.
It's back! B-Movie, The Play, which had audiences
rolling in the aisles in Edmonton two years ago and
caused a rush on tickets in Toronto, is now packing them

into the Vancouver Playhouse while readying for another

assault on Toronto.

B-Movie will also be heading for the stage in London
and New York and is soon to be a motion picture.

It’s difficult to talk about B-Movie, The Play without
sounding like a movie promo. But that's a typical
response to author-star Tom Wood's wild parody of
B-movies, the films people love to hate.

Wood has piled everything he can think of from the
B-movies of the 1940s and 50s into his play — slapstick

“It's almost like a sport, by the end of it we're just
drenched,” Wood says of the pace of the play.

“It's a nightmare backstage, there are people
running non-stop.”

The blue-eyed actor, who sports a shock of unruly red
hair, says he hopes the play reminds people just how
much of their lives are tied up in movie image:

“Everyone I talk to say that they've had these
feelings at various times that they're in a film or this
thing in their life is like a film, and that's what B-movie is
about,” Wood said in an interview after the play opened
New Year's Eve in Vancouver.

B-Movie premiered at Edmonton's Phoenix Theatre
in 1986 and became an immediate hit. It was a sellout at
Toronto's small Workshop Theatre last year and after the
current Vancouver performance the play returns to
Toronto in March, this time at the larger CentreStage.

B-Movie has had mostly positive reviews, but not
everyone likes it. Vancouver Sun critic Lloyd Dykk, while
praising the acting, calls the play trivial and a “limp
rip-off of Woody Allen.

EYES LONDON

Still, Wood has been invited to take the play to the
prestigious Edinburgh Festival and has offers to mount
the production in London and New York.

But Wood, an Edmonton native who now lives in
Toronto, isn't bowled over by the prospect of the Big
Apple.

“To me it’s all so much pie-in-the-sky. So many of my

comedy, syrupy and lod:

The play features Wood as penny-ante filmmaker
Art Findell, using his apartment as a set to shoot what
could be the worst B-movie ever made (if you don’t count
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes).

Findell is joined by his crazy assistant (played by
Stephen Ouimette), another helper (Corrine Koslo),
blonde bombshell star (Dana Brooks) and her hunk of a
leading man (David Elliot). The five of them must grapple
with up to 400 lighting and sound-effects cues, rapid-fire
dialogue, stunts and appearances by Godzilla and the
rest.

fellow Canadians have gone to New York and just, opened
one night and closed the next so I've got a very\sort of
pessimistic, skeptical attitude about it all.”

And then there's B-Movie, The Movie. An Edmonton
group bought the film rights to the play and Wood
worked last summer drafting a script that may go before
the camera later this year.

“The wonderful thing is it's a B-film, so everything
you can do on a small budget is a plus rather than a
minus. I want to show the (microphone) booms in all the
shots and use a lot of models that don't quite work,”
Wood says with unrestrained glee.

Bono told Vanity Fair in its
February issue. “But to move
forward you really do have to
disconnect. If you don’t, you
can't go on.”

Bono, who hopes to be

his career went down after

Vancouver Playhouse, Stephen Ouimette is the inspired
comic who rides waves of chaos while maintaining the wide
innocent eyes of a Buster Keaton. He has the antic grace of

moviedom's great clowns.

In this hit spoof of bad movies, he plays the part of the
roommate-cameraman to Wood's would-be filmmaker. Both
characters live for the movies and their lives are a
scrap-heap of bad-movie trivia.

Ina part full of non-stop business, Ouimette manages to
suggest all the Marx Brothers, Harold Lloyd, Charlie
Chaplin and the Three Stooges. It’s deft guerrilla comedy,
little touches done so quickly and with such perfect
spontaneous timing that they have barely enough time to
register before he's off in another direction.

The 33-year-old native of St. Thomas, Ont. was sitting
recently in the Playhouse’s production centre talking about

being funny.

“It’s real close to how I fooled around with my five
brothers and sisters when we were kids. We were just wild
— acting really stupid and goofing around all the time.

MAKE UP SKITS

“We'd make up skits and circuses and the neighborhood
kids were always over. My mom is the one that got all this
started. She used to do this thing called ‘mummy witch.’

She'd tease her hair out big and chase us around the house.”

Being funny on the stage is basically playing out his
childhood, he says.

“The purpose of a clown is to buoy things up, enjoying
being hit, or being in trouble. Life’s a playground. I try to
discover things afresh every time.”

He had no plans of being an actor, but{a high school
drama teacher tricked him into reading for a part in Grade
11. Until then, he'd wanted to be a veterinarian.

At theatre school at the University of Windsor and then
early in his career he got nothing but “eccentric, muggy”
parts. He was almost resigned toa career of playing weirdos
and flakes.

He then spent three years at Theatre London with
Canadian actor William Hutt’s Young Company. An up and
coming talent, he got to play small roles at Stratford,
alternating at London, and did a couple of plays at the Shaw
Festival.

In 1981, he was invited by the Vancouver Playhouse,
where he did three plays, one of them Romeo and Juliet. He
played Romeo, refuting a teacher's comment about not being
able to play romantic leads.

The play wasn't well received critically and he dropped
out of theatre for almost a year.

“I didn’t know what I was doing on stage any more. I
guess I'd !ost sight of the fact that you're not doing it for
yourself, you're doing it for other people.

In the letter, Cady sayé the
premier's response “has not indicatéd
any change of opinion to that received \
over the past 20 years .... Nothing has
changed. The same advisors from the
ministries and from B.C. Hydro con-
tinue to give the same opinions and
advice whichever government is in
power and whoever asks for it.”

Cady agreed with Vander Zalm's
statement that there will be a shift in
taxation and perhaps a slight increase

in Hydro’s rates.

“Knowing this, we went to Van-
couver city council, who agreed that
even with a slight increase in hydro
rates to their people, they agreed with
‘qur position, as they received the
benefit of full taxation from B.C.
Hydro.”

Cady argued that not only local
residential taxpayers have to pay more
because B0C.. yore doesn't pay
anthing.

“All other ladustries and bus-
inesses must take \p the slack and pay

\

a little more because of B.C. Hydro's
exemption.”

He said the Central Kootenay has
already contributed thousands of acres
of land, most of its rivers, loss of
fisheries, displaced homes, loss of
forests and game, and gave up a tax
base from the flooded valleys.

“To say now that B. Hydro
should not pay taxes here as it does
already in Vancouver, Surrey, Prince
George and elsewhere in the province
is manifestly unfair and discrimina.

Espenhain notged that Celgar has

the lowest grade pulp logs.

“This bottom-line approach may in
the near future have us in an uneco-

“The stumpage rate has been the
same as Brazil's — third lowest in the
world — although record prices and
profits continue with a $45 a ton
increase in prices for market pulp
effective Jan. 1, 1988.” .

Espenhain said there will be no
way to deal with pulp logs and deca
dent timber from the tree farm if the
woodroom is closed.

“Without proper harvesting of this
timber, effective reforestation cannot
take place, In the long term, this will
jeopardize the entire future employ
ment in this valley.”

Elsewhere, mill manager Wilf
Sweeney said the woodroom closure
will improve the mill's effluent dis
charge.

Sweeney said the color and
density of the effluent will improve
when the woodroom closes.

As well, he said the closure will
not have any effect on the mill's $48
million pollution upgrading program.

Flue bug hits
Vancouverites
in epidemic

VANCOUVER (CP) — The West Coast may enjoy a
positively balmy winter compared with Thunder Bay or
Moncton, but for many Vancouverites this month, the living
is far from easy.

It’s influenza season, and for the unusually high number
of people who have it, the living is wretched, raspy, chilly
and bed-ridden.

Exact figures are difficult to obtain, but there is a
strong feeling among some school officials and doctors that
the current wave of influenza is hitting more victims than
usual, especially children.

Dr. Donald Huggins of the medical health department
said Friday that although influenza is not a reportable
disease,

“It’s not, as far as we know, an outbreak, but it can be
called an epidemic.”

The number of flu sufferers admitted to hospital this
year is not, however, unusually high, Huggins added.

The influenza virus in the Greater Vancouver area is
known as B-Ann Arbor-86, said Dr. Peter Middleton, head of
medical virology at the Ministry of Health provincial lab.
The Ann Arbor designation means it was isolated in that
Michigan city last year.

“It seems to be hitting the childhood age group,”
Middleton said.

“People feel unwell and have chills," he added. “There
are chills and the temperature rises and the person feels
wretched. The best thing to do is climb into bed.”

STAY AT HOME

Sissel Vanderster, a secretary at Selkirk elementary
school in Vancouver, said students “have been dropping like
flies.”

“I've been doing first aid here because the nurse was
sick for a long time with the flu,” she said.

Sug Imoto, the principal at Hamber secondary school in

(Celgar) could change their priorities
and have some benefits,” said Mc-
Laren. He said the benefits would come
in the form of more efficient operations
and reduced pollution after the money
is spent on the improvements.

He added that the variances
include guidelines to control Celgar’s
waste. The guidelines are not as re-
strictive as those set out in the Waste
Management Act, but the key to the
variances is to have Celgar meet higher
provincial standards over the next four
to eight years, McLaren said.

“It takes longer for provincial
guidelines to be met because of
financial shortfall,” McLaren said.

But Espenhain said the union is
looking for a return to a permit system

instead of variances.

“Under a permit, the provincial
waste management branch sets out the
rules and makes the decision locally on
emissions and effluent,” he said.

Espenhain said Celgar would have
to adhere to more strict provincial
guidelines set out to control the pulp
mill's waste if it were under a permit
instead of the variances currently in
place.

Morandini said Celgar will modify
its recovery boiler this spring at a cost
of about $4 million. He said the
recovery boiler project is ahead of
schedule and will improve the boiler's
capability to reclaim cooking liquor and
keep the “smelly air emissions” down.

“The hub of this whole environ
ment program — both air and water —
is tied to the recovery boiler im
provement program,” Morandini said.

Espenhain said the PPWC is clear
on its intentions to speed up the
process of modifying Celgar to meet
Waste Management Act guidelines in
stead of the variance guidelines.

“We've asked the (provincial en.
vironment) minister to review the var-
iance and if possible have it replaced
with a permit system,” he said. “If
there is no action from the province,
the local (PPWC No. 1) will take the
matter to Environment Canada.”

According to the variances, the
pulp mill has until July 1991 to meet
provincial air emission standards and
until June 1996 to meet effluent stan.
dards — providing the company does
not profit sufficiently to start im
provements sooner.

Environment Minister Bruce
Strachan was unavailable for comment
at press time.

, Said the current absentee rate among students is
about 10 per cent, which he described as “substantial” and
higher than usual for this time of year.

“We are in the middle of the flu period,”
spokesman at the Vancouver School Board.

The flu, combined with some teacher workshops, has
caused staffing problems in schools.

“We've been hiring a large number of substitutes and
it's been happening all week,” the spokesman said. “We ran
out of substitutes.”

“Influenza viruses are unstable and undergoing changes

has taken a step toward what
could be its first overseas
nuclear reactor sale in nearly
a decade, Atomic Energy of
Canada Ltd. announced.

A potential sale to Hun
gary would involve a new
reactor design known as
Slowpoke, not the Candu
system that until now has
been the mainstay of AECL’s
power-reactor business.

The Crown corporation has
signed a memorandum of
agreement with three Hun.
garian companies on de
¥elopment of the Slowpoke
system for the East Euro
pean country,

“This agreement means
AECL is now embarking on
the last stage of a study that
could lead to a joint venture
with the Hungarian comp.
anies to implement and mar.
ket the Slowpoke in Hungary
and other European coun

tion official Gerry Lynch.

Canada has not sold a
reactor overseas since 1979.

The Candu system is uni-
que among the world’s power
reactors because it uses
heavy water. Some nuclear
industry observers have said
that has been the major bar-
rier to Canadian reactor
sales, because the bulk of
reactor technology involves
different systems that do not
require heavy water.

Using natural uranium to
heat water, the Slowpoke
system is designed to heat
large buildings, apartment
blocks, a university or hos:
pital, a shopping centre or an
industrial plant. A typical
design could heat about
150,000 square metres of
floor space.

The uranium can heat
350,000 litres of water in a
stainless steel tank.

Liver transplant
boy in hospital

VANCOUVER (CP) — A to the University of Min-

biopsy performed Friday on
Nathan Keddie confirmed the
three-year-old Richmond,
B.C., boy is suffering “mild
rejection” of his recently
transplanted liver, says his
mother Dawn Keddie.
“That means giving him
new, stronger drugs that are
likely to make him sick,” she
said in a telephone interview
from Minneapolis, where her
son is being treated.
Keddie took her son back

nesota Hospital Wednesday,
five weeks ahead of schedule,
after tests showed signs that
the boy was rejecting his
recently transplanted liver.
He received the new organ
because he suffered from a
disease which blocked normal
bile flow through the liver.

Nathan received a new
liver in Minneapolis on Dec.
16, and returned home just
one month later to a hero's
welcome.
