TRUST THE NAME Dixielee BOB HOPE May mark By JERRY BUCK Associated LOS ANGELES (AP) — The year is 1938: Hitler annexes Austria, Wrong-Way Corrigan flies from New York to Dublin, ‘and a brash young comedian gets his own radio show on NBC. “Good evening, ladies and | gentlemen, this is Bob Hope for F . e're b i from NBC's new building. They tell me it costs more than Mrs, Roosevelt's annual train fare.” As he turns 85 on May 29 and celebrates 50 years with NBC, first on radio and then on television, Bob Hope hasn't slowed down one bit. Over lunch.in a sunny corner of his estate in the Toluca Lake section of Los Angeles, Hope explains that with less than two weeks before he tapes an all-star birthday and anniversary salute, he was flying off to perform in Kansas City, Chicago and Columbus, Ohio. KEEPS BUSY After the two-hour special is taped, he will visit Korea for five days for pre-Olympic ceremonies. On the date of the telecast, Monday, May 16, he'll be-performing in Anaheim, Calif. The special, reflecting Hope's penchant for long titles, is called Happy Birthday Bob — 50 Stars Salute Your 50 Years With NBC. Besides the 20 or more stars who will be at the taping, another 50 or so will appear in clips from past Hope shows. Hope's radio show lasted until 1952. He started on television in 1950. “I came to Hollywood in 1937,” he says, “but before that I was on radio back East. I did a monologue on a show with Shep Fields and his Rippling Rhythm.” THE LAST PICASSO s 85 years He might have come to Hollywood sooner than he did but he was a little miffed at the studios’ lack of enthusiasm over his screen test and held out for three years. MOVES TO FILMS Finally, he signed with Paramount and launched his film career with The Big Broadcast of 1938, Another star in the movie was Dorothy Lamour, who was later to appear with Hope and Bing Crosby in all the “Road” pictures. “There was a song in the picture they wanted me to " Hope says. “I showed it to Dolores (his wife, a former singer) and she didn't think too much of it. The song was Thanks for the Memory,” The song won the Oscar that year and it became Hope's theme song. On radio, his bandleader was Skinnay Ennis, comic sidekick was Jerry Colonna and at various times his singers included Frances Langford, Judy Garland and Doris Day. Once Lucille Ball asked Hope to find a. place for her husband, bindleader Desi Arnaz. He was on the show for two years and never got a laugh. “I met him later, after I Love Lucy, and I said to him: “You mean you're gettir laughs?’ " Hope says. “He fell down laughing.” Hope launched his television career on Easter Sunday 1950 with a leve broadcast from the roof of the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York. His guests were Dinah Shore, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and Bea Lillie. Hope, finishing lunch with ice crem and a cookie, sighs and asks, “Do you have any idea how many jokes I've done? Early in my career I did all kinds of jokes. I'd do Italian jokes. People laughed, but I was terrible with dialects.” Hope doesn’t answer his own question about how many jokes he’s told. Instead, he leafs through a loose-leaf binder holding 50-year-old jokes. Collection in Paris By MICHELA WRONG uter PARIS — A Paris exhibition of Pablo Picasso's works has given the Spanish-born artist a posthumous chance for revenge against critics who dismissed the last paintings as the senile dabblings of a sex-obsessed old man. Exhibited in the southern French town of Avignon first in 1970 and again in 1973, a month after the painter died at the age of 91. the works unleased a storm of protest. Many art lovers dismissed the paintings are sickly andy self-indulgent, the last desperate -outpourings of a man terrified of approaching death. Special scorn was reserved for a series of explicit erotic etchings showing painters coupling with their models. Some said the graphic drawings of genitals showed an obsession with sex typical of an old man worried by his fading virility. Now, 15 years after his death, The Last Picasso, a massive collection of paintings, drawings and sculptures at the modernistic Pompidou Centre, invites a reassessment. The exhibition, on show in Paris until May 16 before moving to London's Tate Gallery in June, includes 93 paintings, 33 drawings, 60 etchings and six sculptures. The display is a tribute to Picasso's phenomenal output in his later years as well as a fascinating record of his artistic and emotional development over his final quarter century TRYNG TIME The first paintings date from 1953, a dramatic turning point in Picasso's life, when his lover Francoise Gilot left him along with their two children, and he began to question his allegiance to the Communist party In the years that followed, Picasso was to find a new domestic happiness after meeting and marrying the beautiful Jacqueline Rogue, 44 years his junior. She modelled for many of his later paintings. The exhibition is both a celebration of the importance of sex as a source of inspiration and an exploration of the creative process itself — canvas after canvas show the artist confronting his naked model, paintbrush in hand. Young artists compete here The exhibition provides students with the opportun By CasNews Staff The West Kootenay Na The relationship is carried to its logical conclusion in the controversial series of etchings, where the painter and model are entwined as lovers. But the more somber underlying theme is Picasso's growing struggle to come to terms with his own mortality, as he saw old friends and artistic contemporaries dying around him. The shocking Self Portrait, drawn in 1972, shows the terrified artist staring death in the face, transfixed with horror. That vision seems to have haunted Picasso, spurring him to a frenetic surge of activity as he rushed to record his ideas and emotions on canvas in the little time> that remained. The signs of haste are there for all to see — the brush strokes are crude and direct, the paint appears to have been literally slapped onto the canvasses, many of which look almost unfinished, without background or superfluous detail Picasso was always renowned for his energy. “There is never a moment when you ean say.“"I have done a good day's work and tomorrow is Sunday,” he once commented on his wor 4 Moy i1, 1990 Castlégar News ar Cable 10 TV SHAW CABLE 10 TV May 11, 13 and 15 $:30 p.m. (Wed) 9 a.m. (Fri) 1 p.m. (Sun) — Bantam AA Hockey — Beaver Valley took on Trail during the pro- vincial Bantam hockey tour nament held at the Beaver Valley Arena March 25 April T 7:55 p.m. (Wed) 11:25 a.m. (Fri) 3:25 p.m. (Sun) — Life of Independence — Mike Bal. ahura, chairperson of the Castlegar Disabled Need’s Advisory Committee, intro- duced the tape narrated by Raymond Burr which docu ments the accomplishments four reflect on an interview on faith in action with former United Church Moderator Clarke MacDonald. 9:15 p.m. (Wed) 12:45 p.m. 9:50 P.m.

CosNewsPhoto by Bonne Morgan Power Financial Corp. reports profit loss MONTREAL (CP) — Pow: er Financial Corp. says earn. ings fell to $39.2 million in the first quarter from $41.8 fill. ion a year ago. The company groups six financial services invest- ments for its parent, Power Corp. of Canada. Per-share earnings in the quarter ended March 31 were 43 cents, compared with 47 cents a year ago, the com pany reported Tuesday at its annual meeting. The difference in earnings is explained by extraordinary gains in the first quarter of 1987, said chairman James Burns. Also contributing was a weak performance so far this year by Winnipeg-based Investors Group Inc. Investors, 71-per-cent held by Power, reported a profit of $9.4 million for the quar: ter, down from $12.6 million in 1987. Burns said that fee income from Investors’ mu tual fund sales are down, and extra.costs.were.incurred to pen more regional offices. Paul Desmarais Jr., presi. dent and chief operating of- ficer, said Investors did a better job than its compe. titors in retaining its clients following the stock-market crash last October. “It had the lowest redemption rate in the industry,” he said. Power Financial's largest holding is 86 per cent. of Great-West Lifeco Inc., whose first-quarter income dropped to $22.1 million from $22.9 million. PROFITS UP Profits for Montreal Trus- teo Ine., 60.5-per-cent held by Power, were up to $14 million from $12 million in the first quarter of 1987. The fourth substantial leg of Power Financial is Pargesa Holding S.A. of Geneva, which has an impressive list of investments in European banks, investment dealers and holding companies. Power Financial holds 20 per cent of Pargesa, a part- nership. Its quarterly earn ings were unavailable.

Grad ceremonies By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer The Stanley Humphries sescondary school 1988 grad class will receive its high school diplomas at the Com. munity Complex. The graduation ceremonies were to take place at the Brilliant Cultural Centre this year, but the facility just doesn’t have enough room, “We had a problem with seating capacity,” said Stan ley Humphries principal Gordon Shead. Shead said that with grads, their guests, teachers and community dignitaries they needed approximately 1,100 seats. Fire regulations — even with a> special use permit — would allow for seating for about 1,000, which falls short of what is needed by about 150 seats, according to Shead. “It was enough under that it would effect the students,” said Shead. He said the complex is spacious, but is by no means asthetically pleasing. “It's basically a hockey arena and it looks, feels and smells like an arena,” he said. Stanley Humphries vice principal Grant Lenarduzzi says he would like to see the ceremonies at the Brilliant Cultural Centre in the future. “I think it's a classier place for the kids to graduate in,” he said. In addition, Shead said the arena is more time consum: ing to set up because “it's not set up for a ceremony like this.” He said the staging, sound equipment and chairs all have to be put in place, in addition to the decorations. But one vocal opponent to the grad ceremonies being held at the Brilliant Cultural Centre is still not happy with the change. Inez Smith, whose daugh ter is graduating this year, said she is worried the arena will not provide enough room. Smith said a letter written at arena by Lenarduzzi which ap peared in last Sunday's Castlegar News invites the whole community to the complex. Smith says this has her worried, “You can't invite the eom- munity with 7,000 or more people,” she said, “There should be tickets, we need some kind of control.” Shead said there has never been a problem with over- crowding before at the com- plex.
