DEPARTURE :
A MYSTERY

é VICO MORCOTE, SWITZERLAND (AP) — One of the
two Oscars on the white bookshelf looked distinctly new.
“They sent it to me last year,” Luise Rainer said with a
puckish smile. “Tt replaces one that was leaning over: metal
fatigue.” ‘
The two Academy Awards, for lead roles in The Good
Earth and The Great Ziegfeld, made her an acting sensation
before the Second World War. But after only Che years, she
left the business.
Like the flight of Greta Garbo, Rainer’ 's sudden
departure became one of Hollywood's classic mysteries.
It’s been a half-century since her meteoric rise to fame,
and the German-American actress looks back on her stint in
the movies as merely one episode in a rich artistic life which
she feels still lacks fulfillment.
“Getting those awards does not mean anything to me,”
she said. “I feel I have not given all that’s inside me.”
‘It.was a typical comment from the 72-year-old actress,
painter and occasional poet whose urge for perfection seems
a dominant feature of a 5; career.
ressed in a white cardigan with matching slacks, with
a page-boy hairdo and the slim figure of a teenager, she
retraced her career during a recent interview in thé'stiidy’of
her villa overlooking Lake Lugano.
_It started with a flop when she secretly went to an
audition at the age of 16 while visiting relatives in Berlin,

The attorney general was com-

The B.C. law required that a judge
impose the mandatory minimum one-

that a person was driving while his
licence was suspended, regardless of
whether the offender know of the
suspension.

The combination of a minimum jail
sentence with the lack of need to prove

MEMORIZED LINES
She had prepared herself by learning the lines of the
y jac Lulu, the in two plays by
Frank kind, the German writer and early
advocate of sexual liberation.

Under the pretext of visiting a museum, she sneaked
into the Kammerspiele Theatre, nervously waiting for her
turn to walk to the enormous stage.

“All I had learned was Lulu’s i lines and that without
knowing the facts of life. I was so terrified that I did not
remember one word,” she said.

Her debut came a short time later with another
Wedekind play at Louise Dumont’s Schauspielhaus in her
native Duesseldorf. j

others followed, including e Great Ziegfeld, an opulent
musical, and The Good Earth, based on Pearl S. Buck's novel
on peasant life in China. She was paid $250 a week.

WON TWO OSCARS

Rainer was heralded as the new Garbo and became the
first actress to win two Oscars back-to-back. Midway
through her seven-year contract she quit in 1938, earning
her the sobriquet “the star who walked out on Hollywood”

‘and a threat from MGM's Louis B. Mayer.

“He told me, ‘We made you and we're going to kill
you,’ ” she said. “He was a monster.”

Several factors prompted her decision — thé lack of
privacy, the impossibility to “develop.”

On top of that came a tempestuous marriage to
playwright Clifford Odets, whom she divorced in 1940. “He
suffered under my so-called fame,” she said. “I could not
ibear having a world success and having this kind of
problem.” ;

In 1945, Rainer married publisher Robert Knittel and
had a daughter. “After this first horrible experience, I
wanted harmony,” she said. “So my life had to go more
toward this little family.”

Her career continues. She memorized all. 900 lines of

Four years ago, Rainer and her husband moved from

But living in picturesque surroundings close to the Italian
border offers little stimulation.

“It's a paradise but it’s the dullest place on Earth,” she
said.

So they spend much time travelling. They were thrilled
by a recent trip to China, where The Good Earth was a
pre-war success. Stills froti that film and others regularly

CALGARY (CP) — Charles
Ng, suspected in nine Cal-
ifornia sex slayings, was
found not guilty of attempted
murder Tuesday, but was
sentenced to 2% years in—

lawful use of a firearm.

The charges were’ laid af-
ter Ng was arrested in a Bay
store during a-bungled shop-
lifting attempt July 6. Sec-
urity guard John Doyle was
shot in the finger while
wrestling Ng to the ground.

Justice Allen Sulatycky of
Court of Queen’s Bench ‘sen-
tenced ‘Ng, a former U.S.
marine and son of a wealthy
Hong Kong businessman, to
18 months for armed rob-
bery, two years for the as-
sault and one year on the
firearm’s charge.

Ng, 24, will be eligible for

attempt

parole in 18 months. Cali-
fornia officials must wait
until then before trying to
extradite him to the United
States where he is accused of
participating in a series of
killings at a rural cabin and
the murder of a San Fran-
cisco dise jockey.

In passing sentence, Sul-
atycky said he took into con-
sideration that Ng-— pro-
nounced Ing — has spent five
months in jail awaiting trail.
. The judge decided on the
term because Ng was carry-
ing a gun, resisted arrest and
was in Canada illegally.

“(The gun) was fully load-
ed, cocked and ready to fire,”
Sulatycky said. “He carried it
into a busy department
store.”
