ENTERTAINMENT JANET TURNER HOSPITAL New novel By ROD CURRIE. TORONTO (CP) — Janette: Turner Hospital, with her exquisite new novel Borderline, illustrates again that’ she must be one of the most stylish writers working in Canada today, except that she isn’t. ‘exquisite’ Australian-born Hospital, 43; burst onto the Canadian literary scene in 1982, winning the $50,000 Seal First Novel Award with the gloriously mysterious and tangy novel The Ivory Swing, set in India. To prove it wasn't a fluke, she followed up with The Tiger in The Tiger Pit, also published Just now she's in Boston, as writer-in-resi at of Te ry. And, classes and commuting home to Kingston, Ont., on weekends, she’s reduced to writing only on Wednesdays. “Still, I've only been there a month and already I've written two short stories,” she says. Her MIT carries a full load — not like Canadian universities where writers-in-residence have a more cosy existence in discussion groups, chatting with students about literature and their writings. “It pays a very good salary,” she says with a laugh, “but with keeping up our mortgage at home, renting a Boston apartment, commuting and long-distance phone calls, I think maybe I'll do only slightly better than break even.” The whole family, including teenage son and daughter and husband Clifford, principal of the theological college at Queen's University, adore Boston. The children were born there, Clifford did his doctorate at nearby Harvard, and much of Borderline is set in the area. FROZE IN FRIDGE She got the idea for the novel from a small New York Times story about a band of refugees, being smuggled across the Mexican border in a refrigerator van, who ‘were abandoned by a panicky driver and froze to death. That's where Borderline opens, with Felicity and Gus, strangers, parked in their cars patiently waiting behind a refrigerator van at the Canada-U.S. border. Suddenly the doors burst open on a scene of horror, huddled refugees, some frozen, and hooked frozen sides of beef sliding about — a ghostly “stampede of dead cattle.” Felicity, an elegant art curator, and Gus, a womanizing, hard-drinking insurance salesman, act with a single mind, stuffing a half-dead woman, one of the illegal immigrants, into Felicity's car and spiriting her away. Now they are an odd couple involved in smuggling a Salvadoran refugee into Canada and caught up in a frustrating and hallucinatory spiral of events. in and d for a number of overseas awarda! Hospital always spins a good story, often at times dreamlike, bizarre or exotic in tempo. But mainly she brings a tingle to the spine of anyone who delights in her stylish use of ordinary words and the way she crafts them to create, for instance, just the correct aroma, odor or Stink she wants. She uses words to paint pictures, to’ fashion mental -images: he has the kind of trust in priests that only Protestants have these days;” “He felt saddened — as when a hearse passes on a fine summer's day;” or, Gus sanding rust holes on his car, when the edges became freshly silver, “the color of a soul after penance.” SCULPTS CHARACTERS She's equally talented in sculpting literary characters — the rough-hewn Gus, seared by his shortcomings but unable to mend his ways, and a pair of superior Boston aunts, as precise as English bone china, ‘their immaculate lace collars set aquiver by even the suggestion of scandal. “No guest urider their roof,” she writes of the Beacon Hill sisters, “could sustain a belief’ in anything they disapproved of.” And of Gus: “Like all Philanderers; he wanted to shield his daughters from men.” Her next novel, Hospital says, will be set in Australia, where the family spent the summer. After that, she feels, it may be back to a Boston setting and a story incorporating the immense effect the MIT experience is having on her. “It's an incredible place, wildly exciting, and full of over-achievers,” she says. “They represent the cream of American undergraduates and are incredibly bright but so tense — terrified of not getting straight As. “Poor kids, I feel like giving them a sort of pat on the shoulder and saying, ‘Just calm down.

The network, which began with eight transmitters in 1975, now reaches about 75 ARSENIC AND OLD LACE ~ LACKS POLISH ACTRESS IN TWO MOVIES Close keeping busy LOS ANGELES (AP) — The ever-astonishing Glenn By RON NORMAN Editor It's usually true that the. larger the cast of a community theatre ‘production, the more uneven the play’s quality. That’s because there are often two, three or four but good actors and ina small seldom a dozen. The result is generally a play that has a solid core, but whose edges lack polish. And that’s the case with Theatre Unlimited's production of Arsenic and Old Lace: The comic thriller was recreated on the Trail Junior | Secondary School stage for three nights last week to receptive, if not large crowds. At the heart of the play are a pair of maiden sisters, Abby (played by Betti Hall) and Martha Brewster (Flo Bullock). The play takes place in the Brewster family home in Brooklyn ( Abby and Martha live with nephews: Tedd; Ingersole) and Mortimer (Jim DeLong) It’s clear from the outset that Teddy isn't “right.” He thinks he’s president Theodore Roosevelt. Ingersole’s Teddy is consistently fun. Played with a lot of zest, Ingersole’s Teddy adds much to the comic side of the play. One of the nicest pieces is when Teddy stops in front of the stairs, lifts his arm and yells, “Charge” believing he’s Roosevelt heading up San Juan Hill (though it begins to wear thin by the fourth and fifth time). It isn’t long before the audience discovers that the delightfully charming maiden aunts aren't all they appear. The aunts, it turns out, have a penchant for knocking off lonely old gentlemen by serving, them -homemade elderberry wine laced with a concoction of arsenic, cyanide and strychnine. “Typical of the play's tone, malicious; they simply think they're doing the poor gentlemen a service. Into the action comes the criminally insane brother Jonathon Brewster (Bruce Fawcett). All this leads poor Mortimer to believe it's only a matter of time before he too becomes unhinged. “Insanity doesn’t run in our family, it gallops,” he says in one of the play's funnier lines. But that’s more than the play does. The pace in the first act is almost as dead as one of the bodies in the basement of the Brewster home. However, the action picks up in the second and third acts as the plot becomes tangled with dead bodies and Mortimer tries to sort the whole thing out. With the exception of the two aunts, Ingersole and Brian Parent as Lieutenant Rooney, the play suffers from ‘poor timing. The actors and actresses spend too much time | waiting for the other characters to complete their lines. Not only does that hinder the play's flow, but results in players falling in and out of character. And while director Lee Mendoza was successful in bringing out the play's comic aspects, the thriller side never really surfaces. g to the program), where (Laurie the aunts aren't Close a dazzling double play this month, appearing on North American screens as three characters in two movies.

Sure, Close seems capable of any acting role, but can she sing and dance? “Yes, in Barnum on Broadway, also in Rex by Richard Rodgers,” she said. She is a lyric soprano who has twice sung The Star Spangled Banner before baseball games at New York's Shea Stadium. Not many Tony winners and Academy Award nominees cam make that statement. The Oscar and Close have been romancing ever since her film debut as Robin Williams’ free-thinking mother in The World According to Garp. She was again nominated for the supporting actress award for her role as the friend who served as hostess for the reunion in The Big Chill and as Robert Redford’s youthful sweetheart in The Natural. No longer a supporting player, she is a full-fledged star in Maxie and Jagged Edge. “I don't see myself as a star,” the actress observed during a visit from New York. “I think of stars in terms of Gary Cooper and Clark Gable, actors who were not totally different in every role. I enjoy getting into the same skin as the characters I play. I like a role when the audience doesn't realize who I am.” ‘And although she seems capable of petayine any age, she is 38 years old. “I'm a late starter,” she said. “I didn't go to college until I was 22. After high school I got a guitar and travelled around. It was a valuable experience in a certain way. I went to college — William and Mary — feeling stupid and eager to learn. I think some kids go to college too soon, not realizing how valuable it is. To me learning was like water on the desert. If I ever had a child, I would advise him or her to take a few years off after high. school.” Glenn Close is her real name, taken from her godmother, a close family friend. The family is true Yankee, dating back. to colonial times in Greenwich, Conn. They are -not staid, the Closes.

Dropping out in the 1960s, Close ‘played the musical. scene, married and divorced a rock guitarist, Cabot Wade. “I'm glad the '60s happened,” she said. “It was a difficult, chaotic period, but it was also a renaissance. I think the effects were positive rather than negative.” GOT EXPERIENCE Asa theatre major and anthropology minor at William and Mary, she blassomed, especially under the tutelage of drama instructor Howard Scammon.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The latest Saturday Night Live alumni to star in a movie is Billy Crystal, that “mah- velous” host of Fernando's Hideaway and the man who acts more like Sammy Davis Jr. than Sammy Davis Jr. With his litany of charac- ters, including the’ Minkman brother and the elderly base- ball player, Crystal had a whirlwind season on NBC's late-night fiesta, a season in ‘which he rose from a slightly known comic to a multi- media star. Today, he’s everywhere — music videos, TV. talk shows, national magazines, and rec- ord albums. His latest venture is MGMUA's Running Scared in which he and Gregory Hines star as Chicago cops who encounter trouble on a vacation to Key West, Fla. The producers are Lawrerice” Turman (The Graduate) and David Foster (The Getaway); the director is Peter Hyams (2010). They were recently filming in a seaside saloon that was supposed to be located in Key West but was actually in Venice, Calif. Between scenes, Crystal relaxed in his mobile home dressing room and marvelled -four at what has happened to him in the past 12 months. “I had been doing OK with Soap, personal appearances and HBO. specials. But I played the same character (gay stepson Jodie Dallas) for years, and people thought that was all I did. HBO was a limited audi- ence, and on concerts I played to 1,000 or 2,000 people a night,” he said. “I loved the pressure of guy who did a term paper on the night before it was due. “But when the offer came, I decided I'd better take it. And amI glad I did. I did only 18 shows, but in them I am able to play everything from a 75-year-old black baseball player toa transvestite piano player in a bar to (TV talk show host) Joe‘Franklin.” His most indelible char- acter has been silver-haired TV personality, Fernando, to whom everyone looks “mah- velous.” The portrait bears an obvious resemblance to the late Fernando Lamas, and recently his widow, Es- ter Williams, told People magazine she found the rou- tine in poor taste. “That surprised me,”.com- mented Crystal. “When I met 4 2 S eo VANCOUVER (0) J 404 presents DON PASQUALE A Rollicking Comedy by Donizetti Presented in an English adaptation TUESDAY, NOV.5 Stanley Humphries High School Castlegar at 8 p.m. Adults $8.00, Members $7.00 Students $4,00, Children $2.00 TICKETS AVAILABLE ATDOOR 2 Libraries & both Drug Stores.
