But this time will be different. “It's the first time I've ever been in a film and gotten to be funny,” said Carvey, who co-stars in Moving with Rich- ard Pryor. Carvey plays “a very up- standing young man” named Brad Sanders. Pryor is mov. ing his family from New Jersey to Idaho and Sanders is hired to drive Pryor's prize sports car to the new home. “And it's not until later that he finds I'm a world re- nowned, 10-person schizo- phrenic,” Carvey says. “We mostly see three of them. We see him as a straight person. We see him as a sort of Norman Bates- type character, kind of weird. And we see him in a char. acter like Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now. No one can get close to him. Sort of a burned-out character.” Carvey describes the movie as “a fun, free-flowing comedy” that allowed him to improvise Pryor “was incredibly generous to me and just a gentle, sweet person to work with, just generous. There was none of this ‘Get out of the way, kid.’ It was totally ‘What do you want to do?’ and ‘Go ahead.’ It was nice.” For a long time, Carvey was pegged as a bland nice guy, the innocent kid. He was in 1985's Tough Guys as the probation officer of aged con- victs Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas. He also ap- peared in TV shows, playing Mickey Rooney's straight man in NBC's short-lived 1981 sitcom One of the Boys. PLAYS SINGER In October 1986, he got a chance to do TV comedy on Saturday Night Live and introduced audiences to such characters as the Church Lady, burned-out rock singer Derek Stevens and Lord Christie. Newsweek magazine praised him for “almost sing. le-handedly rejuvenating” the show In his second season with the show, Carvey is changing his repertoire. BIG BAND SOUND . . .

Calderbonk IN NEW TV SERIES Stevenson plays 'whacko’' LOS ANGELES (AP) - Parker Stevenson smiles at the suggestion that his char acter on the new ABC series Probe appears to be a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Tom Swift. Austin James is an ec centric scientist who uses his remarkable mental skills to fight crime. His knowledge has made him fabulously wealthy, but he prefers to avoid the think tank he founded and live in an old warehouse he calls the bat cave. “I think of him more as Sherlock Holmes and Elmer Fudd,” said Stevenson, “since there is a fumbling aspect to his personality. I'm playing a whacko. He's clever, but whacko. That's what made me anxious to go back and do another series. I don't see myself getting bored doing this. “He sleeps naked in an isolation tank.

VIEW VALUABLE “Her point comes valuable Stevenson said. “And she's fascinated enough.by what he does to stick around and put up with the grief.” The one-hour series was created by famed science-fic tion writer Isaac Asimov and Michael Wagher, former story editor of Hill Street Blues. Asimov came up with the characters and concept and: Wagner wrote the pilot. “I've never met Isaac,” said Stevenson. “But I'd love to have him come on the show as my mentor and throw me a few words of wisdom if I start to run amok. Isaac lives in New York and won't fly.” Probe appears on ABC at 8 p.m. EST Thursday, where it’s up against NBC's The Cosby Show and A Different World. Fortunately for Stevenson, it's not up against NBC's Cheers, which stars his wife, Kristie Alley. This is the first season for Stevenson since he did a half-season on CBS' Falcon Crest in the 1984-85 season. Before that he.was ip The Hardy Boys in 1977-79.

Nelson's Capitol Theatre reborn By The Canadian Pre: NELSON — The historic Capitol Theatre — where the only scenes this decade have featured water dripping down rotting walls — has been reborn. The 61-year-old theatre that introduced the “talkies” to this town once was home to the Nelson Little Theatre and the Rossland Light Opera Co. It gave area residents an enthusiastically received chance to stage their own theatre productions. But the 426-seat Capitol gradually fell into disrepair. Its resurrection is being called a boost to tourism in this scenic town of about 9,000, which has already been highlighted in movie halls across North America in the films Roxanne and House keeping HAPPINESS IS... . Time for the Two of You at the Sheraton-Spokane Hotel The ascent from oblivion came in the early 1980s, at a time when the entire Koot enay region was struggling more than most areas under the weight of the recession. GOT SUPPORT Residents managed to gather financial support — $325,000 from the federal government, $330,000 from the British Columbia govern ment, $120,000 from the municipality and $268,000 from community contribu tions. Organizers of the restora tion say the theatre will fill a badly needed gap as a per: forming arts centre in the Nelson area. Total cost of the project is $1.2 million, says fundraising chairman Colin McIllwayne, who is in charge of finding the last $55,000. At $2,817 a seat, Mclll wayne says this compares favorably with a new 650 seat theatre in Prince Rupert on the north B.C. coast, costing $6,923 a seat, and the 600-seat Gateway Theatre in the Vancouver suburb of Richmond, which cost $7,833 a seat The Capitol will greatly enhance the West Kootenay BUSINESS PRewreces GOING, GOING, GONE . . .

There were also four mys- the Alberta credit unions suffering the most TORONTO (CP) — Pro- vincial supervisory bodies across Canada are keeping tabs on dozens of credit unions experiencing financial difficulty. Credit unions appear to be suffering the most in Al- berta, where the province's Stabilization Corp. reports 33 out of 113 credit unions are under supervision. In Ontario, 76 of the 800 credit unions and caisses populaires are reporting def- icits, says the Ontario Share and Deposit Insurance Corp. But that doesn't mean co- operative banking is in dan- ger of falling apart. Overall, the system had “a very good Ralph Beslin, at the Canadian Co-operative Credit Society. Assets have grown na- tionally by six to eight per cent a year for the last five years, he said. When a credit union is in trouble, the supervisory bodies step in to try to turn things around. If the local credit union remains non- viable, there are plenty of options to prevent a collapse, such as mergers with other credit unions, said Beslin. But in Ontario, 16 finan- cially unsound institutions have been closed during the last six months and another eight or nine are under scrutiny because they're in serious trouble. George Mc- Intyre, p of the On- Trail Regional Hospital, Trail | tario Share and Deposit In- surance Corp., told the Wind- sor Star. DEFICITS SMALL Ontario credit unions and caisses populaires have assets totalling $8.5 billion, said McIntyre, while the ones in trouble have deficits total- ling about $75 million. Gary Gillam, spokesman for Credit Union Central of Ontario, said 51 of the 76 institutions in financial trouble are earning interim profits and chipping away at their deficits. Nine out of 104 Nova Scotia credit unions are un- der supervision, but only two of them have deficits, said the province's Credit Union Stabilization Fund Board. tery items which were bid on sight unseen while five bonus draws were held for items ranging from a Red Mountain adult ski pass to a microwave oven.

(CP) — The province should take immediate preventive action because an indepen. dent audit found three forest companies wasted usuable wood in their Queen Char. lotte Islands operations, the NDP forests critic said. “I think the report stands as a shocking indictment of the Ministry of Forests,” Dan Miller said. “Clearly the waste levels on the Char lottes were far in excess of acceptable levels.” Miller's call comes after the government-ordered audit of logging operations on the Queen Charlotte Islands found that MacMillan Bloedel Ltd. consistently wasted up LaPresse writers complain MONTREAL (CP) — Thir-. teen senior journalists at La Presse of Montreal have complained to the news- paper’s owner about the treatment of Michel Roy, former assistant publisher and managing editor, who resigned this week. Roy was “forced to aban. don his job in a manner un. worthy of a company that pretends to treat its em- ployees with respect and confidence,” the journalists said in a letter sent to Paul Desmarais, head of Power Corp., which owns the news- paper. Roy, one of Quebec's most respected journalists, re- signed after a dispute with Roger Landry, the news- paper's publisher, over the hiring of staff. to twice as much wood as the ministry allows. In the audit, revealed by Forests Minister Dave Park er, MacBlo and two other major licenses on the Char. lottes were found to have left “excessive volumes” of wood on the ground. Miller, the member of the legislature for Prince Rupert, said the Social Credit gov ernment should end all forms of sympathetic administra tion, which he said the for ests ministry practises when economic conditions are tough in the industry. The government should also increase staffing levels in the ministry, assess waste levels so that holders of har. vesting licenses can be char ged for usable wood left behind, and start an indepe- dent review of the allowable cut to see if forest companies are overcutting on the B.C. coast, said Miller.
