HALIFAX (CP) — Author
Spider Robinson says there
will come a time when com.
posers will run out of mel-
| odies, writers will run out of
plots and the process of cre-
ating will have to begin all
over again.

The way this award
winning science fiction writer
sees it, computer technology
is fast approaching the stage
where the human race will
have acquired an elephant’s
memory

And when, he asks, have
you ever seen a cheerful
looking elephant?

Robinson is convinced we
will all become Melancholy
Elephants, which also hap-
pens to be the tile of his new
collection of shurt stories.

“No one has noticed yet

DRIES UP

And story writers will
reach a point where they
might as well put away their
pens — or switch off their
video computer terminals —
because there will be nothing
more to say.

So far, that hasn't hap
pened to Robinson, a gangly,
expatriate New Yorker living
for the last few years in
Halifax. His only repetition
has been in winning six in
ternational awards, including

ways been published in the
United States first and re-
leased in Canada later but
after 10 years of trying to
change that, he has finally
landed a Canadian publisher.

Penguin Canada Ltd. has
acquired exclusive rights to
Melancholy Elephants for a
year and has published the
collection of 12 stories — his
ninth book — with three
other science fiction works as
part of a series.

Robinson and the other
authors in the series — W.P.
Kinsella, Timothy Findlay
and Norman Levine — will
soon be on their way to
Toronto to give public read
ings and pump sales.

PLAGIARIZES

its

writers have accused others
of stealing their tunes, and to
West Side Story. which he
says was a brilliant retelling
of Romeo and Juliet made
possible only because
Shakespeare's works were in
the public domain

Before tong, he says, the
realm of public domain will
significantly narrow.

“We've got better copy-
right legislation now than has
ever existed and it's going to
get better and better.”

Several years ago two sci:
ence fiction writers, Arthur
Clark and Charles Sheffield
wrote novels from opposite
sides of the globe in which
one magazine found 47 point-
by-point similarities.

“If you sat a large number
of monkeys typing, one day
they're going to have nothing
left to write but the complete
works of William Shakes-
peare,” Robinson reasons.
“Maybe the human race
would rather not know it
when that day comes.”

The story Melancholy Ele-
phants, which won him a 1963
Hugo, delves deeper into his
theory but the book has much
more.

In one story, Paul Mc
Cartney freezes the body of
John Lennon and brings the
former Beatle back to life
when he's 64, an age featured
in a Lennon-McCartney song.

The author, who can't re
sist a pun even when it's
morbid, calls the story Rub-
ber Soul.

New rating for
Dillon film

HOLLYWOOD (AP) —
The new PG13 rating has
been awarded for the first
time, to a Matt Dillon film
called Mr. Hot Shot, sched-
uled for release next Christ-
mas.

In the 20th Century Fox
film, which also stars Richard
Crenna, Hector Elizondo and
Janet Jones, Dillon plays a
Brooklyn boy who becomes a

gin rummy hustler at a posh
Long Island resort.

PG-13 rating was estab
lished recently by the Motion
Picture Association of Amer-
ica to bridge the gap between
the R, or restricted, rating,
which denies admission to
children under 17 unless they
are accompanied by an adult,
and the PG, or parental
guidance, rating, which ad
vises parental caution.

Dream comes true

for film

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Paul Verhoeven grew up in
postwar Holland adoring
American and English mov-
ies and wishing he could be a
movie-maker, but it was an
impossible dream in a coun-
try with no film industry

Yet in the past 10 years
Verhoeven has become a
world-class film director, and
for the first time Dutch films
have been seen and praised
in the United States and
other countries.

Verhoeven's dramatic and
sometimes daringly sexy
films have included Turkish
Delight, Soldier of Orange
(both nominated for best for.
eign language Academy
Awards), Keetje Tippel and
Spetters. Most have won
prizes at film festivals. That
is true of his latest film, The
Fourth Man, which won the
International Critics Award
at the Toronto Film Festival.

Verhoeven was here re.
cently for the Los Angeles
opening of The Fourth Man
and to confer with Orion Pic-
tures, which handled his first
non-Dutch production, Flesh
and Blood

“Even though I was very
young during the war, I re
member it vividly and I used

AI 77

director

some of my memories in Sol-
dier of Orange,” he said. “I
was living in The Hague
when the German govern.
ment was there and I remem-
ber the rockets being launch-
ed to England. I saw the
events as a child would see
them and to me it was merely
a pleasant adventure.”

LOVED FILMS
After the war, the only
movies in Holland were
American and British, he
said. “They came in a con-
tinuous stream, and I was
enthralled by pictures like
High Noon and Shane. I was
especially taken with the
films of Alfred Hitchcock,
David Lean and Sam Peckip-
pah, although I wasn't school.
ed enough to recognize them

as diretors,” he said.

His success seems to have
created a love-hate relation.
ship with Dutch critic and the
government, which supplies
25-30 per cent financing for
feature films. He was roundly
criticized for the sexuality of
Spetters, which he defends
as “nonvoyeuristic.”

‘The critic liked The
Fourth Man as much as they
hated Spetters,” Verhoeven
said

Still creative

LOS ANGELES (AP)
Most makers of classic films
spend their late years in sad
self-imitation. Not John Hus-
ton, who is still in firm con.
trol of his creative faculties
despite physical setbacks and
the advanced age of 77

Last summer Huston
brought forth his first mu
sical, Annie, whic drew carp-
ing reviews but enough busi.
ness to prompt producer Ray
Stark to plan a sequel. Now
comes Under the Volcano, a
harshly beautiful film greet
ed with critical raves as well
as pans.

Under the Volcano was the
premiere attraction at Fil
mex, the Los Angeles Film
Exposition. The audience re-
action was reportedly sub
dued; the film's unrelenting
dramatics occasion awe, not
enjoyment

But the premiere crowd
had no restraint in greeting
Huston, an agust figure with
patriarehal beard and black
eye patch. He was roundly
cheered.

Huston was at his ease one
afternoon in his temporary
quarters, Stark's apartment
in a Sunset Strip high
rise building.

Under the Volcano was not
an easy book to bring to the
screen, Huston said. Malcolm
Lowry’'s 1940 story about the
disintegration of a British
consul in Cuernevaca, Mex
ico, was hailed by many
critics as a masterpiece of
irony

“IT had read the book when
it first came out,” the dir
ector remarked. “I admired
it, but I didn’t consider it a
masterpiece. I still don't. It
had some flights of mar
velous writing, but it didn't
occur to me that it could
become a picture.”

Over the years, Huston
said, he received dozens of
scripts, but he didn’t envision
the story as a film

“The problem was that
Lowry was almost complete.
ly literary,” Huston said
“The novel of (The Treasure
of) Sierra Madre was not
literary at all; it was almost
uncouth. The seripts of Un.
der the Volcano suffered un
der the influence of the eso-
teric aspect of the book

“They fell victim to the
symbolism and allusions in
stead of trying to get to the
heart of the story

ATTACKS GRITS, TORYS

Kristiansen on women's issues

A condemnation of Con-
servative and Liberal inac-
tion on women's issues high-
lighted a meeting at Meadow
Creek with MP Lyle Kris-
tiansen on Friday.

Speaking before an as-
sembly of locals at a home in
the Kootenay Lake com-

Brisco

munity, Kristiansen denoun-
ced a recent joint move by
those parties to lengthen the
qualifying period for mater.
nity leave under the Canada
Labor Code.

“We had amendments be-
fore us in Parliament the last
week before the election

pokes

at Liberals

In a speech to a group of
senior citizens in Fruitvale,
this week Kootenay West
Conservative candidate Bob
Brisco questioned whether or
not the Liberals seriously
believed in “preserving the
safety net.”

During his address Brisco
questioned wi.ether the Lib-
erals will continue to support
the principle of existing
social progran.s in Canada.

“If they are serious why,
are there now 600,000 people
over 65 living below the pov.
erty line?” Brisco asked.

“Why is it that the Canada
Pension Plan is in danger of
bankuptey? Why was the six
and five applied to old age
pension and family allow
ance? Why is it that the Lib-
erals are progressively with-
drawing funding from health
and post secondary educa-
tion? And why when the Lib-
erals promised affordable
housing did thousands ef pe-
ople lose their homes when
the mortage rate went to 22
per cent?” he asked.

Brisco said that the Con-
servatives will develop a

program of homemakers pen-
sions.

On the matter of health
care Brisco stated that the
Conservative policy, as in all
issues, is for there to be
greater consultation between
the parties, in this case the
provinces, health care pro-
fessionals and other individ:
uals.

tops in summer shades

all,” the New Democrat
candidate said. “If passed,
they would have allowed
women unpaid leave for
maternity after three months
work with an employer. The
Conservatives moved to len
gthen the qualifying period
to six months, and the Lib
erals went along with it.”
Kristiansen said the inci
dent reveals the difference
between -vords and action by
the two “old line” parties.

“You can't trust them,”
Kristiansen declared after
the Meadow Creek meeting
“They'll swear up and down
that they support causes
important to women, but
their voting records and ac
tion as government show
they do the opposite. The
Liberals didn't have to go
along with ‘the right-wing
Conservatives on this, but
they did. Now many women
will find themselves denied

the right to take unpaid time
off to bear children.”

The Kootenay West MP
said he had presented his
position in Ottawa on June 27
during debate of the Labor
Code amendments.

“It should also be made
very clear that we are not
talking about paid maternity
leave,” Kristiansen told Par.
liament. “We are talking
about leave of absence for
reasons of maternity. There
is a vast world of difference
between the two, particular.
ly in terms of the cost.

I think the concept is
fair. We have been waiting a
long, long time for it. (Par.
ticularly for non-union work.
ers), unpaid maternity leave
is certainly the minimum
they should be able to expect
and demand of their elected
representatives in this
House.” .
