I find leisure life and travel and being home most en- joyable. Show business is not my life to the point that I would miss it all that much.” On stage he makes a mockery of the title’ Mr. ‘Warmth. Off-stage, he makes the tag believable. There are chinks in the vitriolic armor in which he has clothed himself since the mid-'40s. Originally, the cau- stic coating was designed to fend off the barbs of rowdy sailors who wanted anything but comedy. at a Washington, D.C. strip joint where he was emceeing in 1948. He said his sarcastic ap- proach on stage isa defence mechanism because he failed miserably at being the sales- man his father wanted him to be and because “I could never really tell a joke.” The late Max Rickles was one of the best insurance salesmen in Jackson Heights, Long Island and hoped son Don would follow. suit. No luck. Taking his father's sense of humor and mother Etta’s flare for the stage, Rickles opted for show business in- stead of sales, concert stage. Blue Northern began its “recording career with an independent extended play release featuring the hit Can't Make No Sense. The song was one of the 10 most played Canadian songs of 1980 and won a Pro-Canada songwriters’ award. Blue Northern spent the winter of 1980 recording their debut album which was released by Polygram in September, 1981. Three sing- les — You're Not the Same Girl, 100 Per Cent and Too Late to Turn Back — swept the Vancouver top 50 charts of 1981 and were featured prominently on national play- lists and retail call outs. Raquel Welch tonight NBG: LOS ANGELES (AP)*= Raquel: Welch stars tonight in the long-delayed NBC movie, the Legend of Walks Far Woman, about the waning days of the American Indian, She plays Walks Far Woman, a Pikuni Blackfoot who marries a handsome and arrogant Sioux warrior named Horses Ghost, but sees her world crushed by the inexorable advance of the white man in the late 19th - century. “This role appealed to me as an actress because it was unexpected of me,” says Welch. “When I was offered TV movies before, they were usually detectives. That just didn’t catch my imagination, This struck me.” The 2%-hour. movie also stars Nick Mancuso as Hor- ses Ghost, Bradford Dillman as a mixed blood trader, and George Glutesi as Old Grand- father. ‘The movie was made .in Montana two years ago, but was shelved at NBC, Some Carrying on into 1982, k their latest single reflects the energy and sentiment with which the music continues. Billy Cowsill continues on lead vocals and a s producer of Blue Northern. Cowsill now assumes the natural role of a dynamic front man, providing a focal point for an exciting visual presentation. Garry Comeau, sharing the spotlight: with vocal -har- monies and singing lead on. his own, explores the further reaches of electronic violin in keeping with the new direc- tion. _ Jim Wilson on synthesizer, ° organ, and -rhythm guitar, the founding member of Blue Northern, has contributed many songs to the expanded repertoire. Lindsay Mitchell, formerly lead guitarist of Prism, has worked closely with the band for the past few months, in the studio and rehearsal hall. Barry Cowsill, direct im- port from Los Angeles, for- mer bass guitarist and vocal- ist in the Cowsills, is a prolific songwriter, excellent singer and bass guitarist. Paul Burton on drums, has worked in the studio and performed live with various bands on the west coast for the past 10 years. Tickets for the concert in Trail are $8 advance and can - be purchased at local ticket outlets. RAQUEL WELCH rior aig fig Newark was disappointed wit i Welch says, owen; that the delay was caused by frequent executive turnover at NBC (therefore the movie had no one pushing it), and also the network was trying to stabilize its regular series before pre-empting them for movies, HITS ITS STRIDE. The first half of the movie drags along for about 30 or 40 minutes before Walks. Far Woman meets Horses Ghost, and then it takes off like an Indian Pony on a buffalo hunt. During -their rough- and-tumble courtship, _ the sparks fly between. this in- dependent Indian woman and cocky brave. “This woman in a sense is liberated before her time,” Welch says. “The Indian women didn't have a voice in running the tribe, but they all have avery profound influence.” The often strenuous and physical role required Welch to run a foot race and ride a bucking horse. “Thad a few accidents,” she says. “During the footrace, I fell down and twisted my ankle so badly I had to be taken to a hospital. And, of course, riding that bucking horse was no fun. I had ‘whiplash for weeks after- ward,” Welch returns to New York at the end of June to replace Lauren Bacall in the hit musical Woman of the Year. Last November she took over the role for two weeks. Spiritual force aids Rocky III \By FRED YAGER NEW YORK - (AP) -— It came\ to him while writing. An inner voice. A spiritual power. It came to him and he listened. And then he wrote. That is how Sylvester Stallone describes his spiri- tual awakening while writing a third movie about a boxer named Rocky. . “I can no longer take credit for Rocky," Stallone says. “The whole thing was pre- ordained by God. I believe my participation in the film was merely as a medium. I really believe in divine gui- dance, and I believe that a creator source works through people." “You're writing and all ofa sudden it just happens,” he said. “I really believe God intended for me to say something and I said it through Rocky. Rocky is my voice.” ° ‘Until the Academy Award- winning Rocky, Stallone was an unknown actor getting a few miter bit, parts and For MON-FRI 8:30—4 COLLEGE - BOORSTORE Dictionaries and Atlases.

There's something about that character that is much more important than me.” Stallone says even he was amazed by the success of the Rocky phenomenon. Accord- ing to Variety, the original Rocky generated more than $55 million in U.S. rentals, and Rocky II grossed 77 per cent of that. The actor-writer-director says it was during the writ- ing of Rocky III that he be- gan to detect the Presence of a spiritual force.» “What you.see up there isa compromise between myself and the creator source,” he said. “I know I sound weird and like a newborn Christian, but it just would be too pre- tentious of me to say I did it alone, because I've tried todo other things alone and it never worked.” Stallone says Rocky Hi is as good or better than its predecessory. He says it sums up the whole character, the moral message and de- livered it full circle “without any extra ego trip from Syl- vester- Stallone.” The executives and pro- ducers wanted the billing to read A Sylvester Stallone Film. But Stallone said no. Then they tried Sylvester Stallone Presents. Again he said no. “They didn't understand, ” the 35-year-old Stallone said. “It's not Sylvester Stallone in Rocky. ‘It's Rocky in Syl- vester Stallone. The charac- ter will dutlive us all. He will endure and that’s what counts.” “The fact that I'm in it is really secondary," he said. “It’s the character. Let’s not clutter it up with a bunch of names above the title, be- cause when the smoke clears, I've done ‘other films and they haven't been @s success- ful.” BANNED BRANDO The Wild One, a 1954 film starring Marlon Brando as one ofa gang of motorcyclists who terrorize a small Ameri- can town, was banned by the* British Board of Film Cen- sors and not approved for viewing in Britain until 1967.

British Colum- bia’s most colorful periods: the turn-of-the-century silver and copper mining boom which gripped the Southern Taterior. Greenwood is a stop of interest for an increasing number of visitors to the West Kootenay region along Highway 3. Last year, more than 6,000 persons visited the museum. With the new museum and a complemen- tary promotion program now in place, this year's visitor total. is expected to top ‘10,000. Greenwood’s heyday was the massive mining boom in «the West Kootenays which began in the late 1800's and lasted until the early 1900's. At its peak, more than 3,000 gold, silver and copper min- ers and their families jammed the region. The city boasted 26 hotels, three daily newspapers and: service from two major rail- ways, the CPR and Burling- ton Northern. The new museum's collec- tion relives those glory days.
