Edward begins 42nd film LOS ANGELES (AP) — Resting in his motor home at the end of a filming day, dir- ector Blake Edwards made quips about survival. “As Mort Sahl (the come- dian) recently told me, sur- vival is the best revenge,” Edwards said. The motor home was park- ed in a lot in the middle of bustling Westwood Village, where Edwards was begin- ning his 42nd film as a dir- ector. The movie, Mickey and Maude, is not the movie he was planning to make at this time, hence his crack about survival.

A few weeks ip He mito RAGIO cabaret cancelled usual “artistic differences,” and was replaced by Richard Benjamin. “Part of the agreement was that neither party would discuss why I left,” said Ed- wards in an interview. How- ever, it was apparent that he had a falling-out with Rey- nolds, his star in the unsuc: cessful The Man Who Loved Women. “It was the most unpleas- ant experience in my career,” the director said. David Gershenson, a spokesman for Reynolds, is sued the following statement from the actor: “Actors’ egos are always being blamed in situations like this, but that just isn’t the case. It truly was a case of artistic differences and it had to do with differences of opinion as to what the public wants from Clint and myself. Theatre Energy's radio cabaret satire on The Inde pendant Republic of the Kootenays has been can celled due to lack of funds. “Rather than face a year end deficit” commented Ar- tistie Director Richard Row- berry, “we decided to cancel and concentrate our time and resourees on preparing for our summer tourist show, A Magical History Tour. “Further, it was a question of quality. We felt that, with out a proper budget, we could not produce the kind of professional theatre product we wanted. “It was a difficult decision, and very frustrating for all involved.

Cultural Ser- vices Branch. Other funds necessary to create and produce this show will come from ticket sales, augmented by monies to be raised in the Kootenay area. “While the business com- munity may feel hard press- ed to support us, we feel that this project, if successful, can be the first step towards a full-fledged Summer Theatre Festival in Nelson — some thing that will be of benefit to everybody,” Rowberry said. He added that summer theatre has proven to be a profitable tourist attraction in many centres across Can ada.

CP Entertainment Editor TORONTO — A book based on # mysterious, uniden- tified source, which tells a sensational story that even the souree concedes will never be fully verified, promises to be the publishing event of the year with its release Thursday. Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter. Terrorist Team, by George Jonas, Toronto author and radio producer, will be published initially in 19 countries and a number of newspapers and magazines have bought serial rights. Some others, however, including The New York Times Sunday magazine and West Germany's Der Spiegel, have declined offers of such serial rights. Maclean's magazine, in a cover story on the book in its current issue, says it paid $3,500 for the right to carry as many as 5,000 words of the text but “decided nat to publish exéérpts because the magazine's mandatory verification re. quirements could not be satisfied.” Vengeance tells the story of a five-man assassination team that Mossad, the Israeli secret service, is said to have sent to Europe in 1972 on a missiom to track down and execute 11 Arabs associated with Palestinian terrorism. The motive was revenge for the Sept. 5, 1972, massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. The source, identified only as Avner, approached pub- hisher Malcolm Lester of Lester and Orpen Dennys in 1981 with his story Lester was not available for comment but Louise Dennys, vice-president and editor in chief of the Toronto publishing house, said they spent two years checking in dependent sources and doing research “to verify the story's credibility. “We satisfied ourselves that we had a basis of cred ibility” before they even approached Jonas, 48, who then made several trips to the Middle East and Europe inter. viewing a range of sources. BELIEVED TRUE The publishers decided to keep the word “true” in the “because we firmly believe it is true,” Dennys said. Because of the size of the project Lester and Orpen Dennys brought in William Collins Sons of Canada as co-publisher, and a spokesman said Collins handled publish ing rights abroad. Collins of London will handle publication in Britain. The Canadian publishers have printed an initial 15,000 hardcovér copies. The U.S. publishers, Simon and Schuster, said its first run was 40,000 copies. The book says the mission was sanctioned by the late Golda Meir, then prime minister of Israel. And it says the outcome of the mission was the outright assassination of five of the individuals sought, the indirect elimination of three others and the deaths of four persons not on the list. The mission ran 2": years, cost $11 million and also resulted in the loss of three .team members. Israel has never confirmed any part in the assassin- ations reported and already various experts in the field of international intrigue are taking sides in the debate over the book's authenticity. The book says the plan was initiated at a meeting in Golda Meir's home and that she left Avner, then-Maj.-Gen. Ariel Sharon ahd former Mossada chief Zwicka Zamir to discuss the mission Avner would undertake. DENIES MEETING Maclean's magazine says Sharon recently denied par- ticipating in such a meeting and told the magazine through a spokesman: “It never took place.” ‘The magazine also quotes Avner as saying: “No one will ever be able to verify my story 100 per cent. It is impossible. The publishers will be mad, but I say ‘if you don't believe me, don't buy the book.’ ” Dennys says her firm is “thrilled” with the coverage Maclean's gave the book with its five-page spread — “Never, as far as I'm aware, has it given such coverage to a book.” But, she added, she wishes the magazine had given more ge to thy hodology the p employed in checking the shoentity of the book. It was “a foregone conclusion,” she added, that there would be challenges from various source to the book's title Welcome to MOTHER'S DAY t the Crown Point 1895 Restaurant SUPER DELUXE SMORGASBORD Tip of Beet and Baken Ham Carved to Your Order Assorted Seafood ® Ribs * Lasagna Giant Salad Bar * Deluxe Dessert Table Cotfee or Tea $10.50 Children 6-12: '4 price.

JOURNEY LEAD SINGER Steve Perry has new album By MARY CAMPBELL NEW YORK (AP) — Steve Perry, lead singer of the hot pop-rock group Journey was a one-man band on his first solo album — producing, fi nancing, writing and singing on it. “A solo album means a lot to me,” he said in an inter- view. “I'm totally satisfied with what I've done. “It is an infectuous seed that has been planted for the next solo album, that I know. “At first, I was kind of against the idea of people in Journey doing solo projects because I was afraid it would plant an infectuous seed and pull us apart. “But they continued, Neal Schon has done three. Now I've done mine and I really did enjoy it.” The first single from the Columbia Records Street Talk album is Oh Sherrie. It was No. 20 and climbing on the best-selling singles chart. Street Talk was No. 56 and climbing. Street Talk doesn’t sound like a- Journey album — Perry sounds decidedly more rhythm 'n’ blues. He wrote all the songs with Randy Good- rum and John Betes, neither of whom has never written for Journey. “I like to work with other people. They help bring , producer,” things out in myself I think,” Perry said. No members of Journey played on it. Journey's last LP came out in February 1983 and the group toured until the end of September with 107 shows from Japan to Hawaii. It was their biggest grossing tour. Perry, lead singer with Journey since 1978, isn’t sure he wants a solo career but he'd like to continue doing solo albums. “I don't want to tour as much as seven or eight- month extravaganzas,” he said. “The Rolling Stones have the perfect situation. It keeps them from pooping out. Perry said he needs to “re- charge” himself now and then to ward off burnout. In the future, Perry said he would like to produce other artists. “Tl produce some other people, the next America al- bum perhaps, maybe some other friends, too. It de- pends. “It takes wearing many hats for objectivity to be a he said. “It's an easy thing when you know what the lead singer has to sing already. hear myself exactly like I know what I want it to be.
