always seem
searching the
something else.

But now Channels maga-
zine says an aggressive video
marketer is promoting an
idea that he claims is the
solution to the problem.

Ron Berger, president of
the 800-store National Video
chain, proposes to pay the
movie studios based on each
rental of the tape, as opposed
to the current system where
the studio sells the tape once
to a distributor and is done
with it

Berger says the studios
can make “two or three
times” more money, because
they will get steady revenue
from the repeated rental of
hit movies.

However retailers are cool
to the idea, fearing that the
“library” feel of the video
store will sacrifice shelf space
to a handful of hits.

And the studios seem ada-
mantly opposed, preferring
to take the surge of cash that
comes from the sale of tapes
and leaving it to the retailers
to sweat it out after that.

Berger is being secretive
about the progress of his
plan, saying he wants to
protect distributors from re-
taliation by the studios.

Actor Hickey
tough as
marshmallow

By JUDIE GLAVE

NEW YORK (AP) — He may have played the crusty,
murderous head of a New York mob family in Prizzi's Honor,
but in real life actor William Hickey is as tough as, well, a
marshmallow

Weighing a scant 120 pounds, the slightly stooped
Irishman with wispy salt and pepper hair is anything but the
stereotypical Mafia chieftain.

Though he wanted the role that earned him an
Academy Award nomination for supporting actor, the
57-year-old Hickey never believed he could make the
transformation into the 84-year-old Don Corrado Prizzi

The don was supposed to be a tough-talking Italian from
Brooklyn.

The Brooklyn part he could handle.

‘The Italian part was harder:

“I'm from Flaaat-bush,” Hickey said in his best Noo
Yawk accent

“I grew up at a time everyone stuck to their own kind,”
he said in an interview. “The Irish and Eye-talians, that's
what we called them, never, never mixed and so I had
nothing to draw on.”

With the help of actress Julie Bovasso and hours of
listening to records, Hickey began to get the hang of it

“First I heard the music of the language. Once I could
hear the part, I thought, ‘now I can get away with it. ~

LACKS RECOGNITION

The Oscar nomination was a first for Hickey who,
despite 46 years on Broadway in such plays as On the Town
and Tovarich, and in movies (A Hatful of Rain, Operation
Madball), never received the public recognition other
character actors earned.

Yet Hickey is well-known among his peers

On the first day of shooting Prizzi, Hickey wanted to
introduce himself to Jack Nicholson who played Charley
Partanna, a hitman. But Nicholson approached him first and
asked if he was “still teaching down there?”

Down there refers to the H-B acting studio in
Greenwich Village where for the past 35 years Hickey has
plied his trade to such aspiring actors as Dustin Hoffman,
Julie Haggerty and Judd Hirsch

It turned out that Nicholson went to several of Hickey's
classes with some friends in 1956 as an observer. Hickey
asked him why he never enrolled.

The star explained it was because he moved to

alifornia.

“Oh, how did you make out out there?” Hickey dead

inned

It's coming along,” Nicholson shot back

They became instant friends on the set, which may be
part of the-reason why Prizzi, a dark comedy about a pair of
his and her mob assassins, was such a success.

Crowd fills

OTTAWA (CP — An unprecedented overflow crowd
turned up at the Supreme Court of Canada on Tuesday for
Dr. Henry Morgentaler’s constitutional attack on the
17-year-old therapeutic abortion law

Many arrived too late.

“We came all the way from Calgary for this,” Professor
Ted Morton said as he and a graduate student arrived at the
courtroom 30 minutes before the afternoon session began,
only to find it filled to capacity.

It may have been the first time in memory the public,
aside from guided tours of high school students who drop in
for 15 minutes, then leave, has packed the court room.

The last time it was this full was in 1981, when lawyers
fighting the constitutional battle between Ottawa and the
provinces that led the entrenchment of the Charter of Rights
and Freedoms in 1982, océupied the historic building.

Court attendants directed Morton, who teaches political
science at the University of Calgary, to the press room,
where he and other late arrivals listened to the proceedings
through a sound system.

Inside Morgentaler and Dr. Robert Scott sat in
reserved seats in the public gallery. Dr. Leslie Smoling, the
third person appealing a ruling that they must face another

MacBlo seeks U.S.
tariff exemption

VANCOUVER (CP) — Be- not subject to stumpage,

cause much of its timber is
privately owned, MacMillan
Bloedei is seeking a partial
exemption from the United
States agency assessing a
possible countervailing duty
on Canadian softwood lum-
ber.

The Vancouver-based for
est giant said in a letter filed
Oct. 3 in Washington, D.C.,
with the International Trade
Administration that 60 per
cent of its timber is in private
hands and the company
should be granted some relief
from any duty based on
implied subsidies in the Bri
tish Columbia timber royalty
system

“Almost 60 per cent of our
logs come from privately
owned timberlands which are

said John Howard, a senior
vice-president of the comp
any

“We will vehemently re
ject the notion that stumpage
is a subsidy, but even if the
ITA reaches that conclusion,
we feel only about 40 per cent
of our timber should be sub-
ject to a countervailing
duty.”

The U.S. Commerce De
partment is expected to issue
a preliminary ruling Thurs.
day on whether Canadian
lumber is unfairly subsidized

amendment to U.S. Trade
Law which was specifically

case against duties.

courtroom

trial for performing illegal abortions, stayed in Toronto.

Most of the audience were women representing both
sides of the issue pro-choice and anti-abortion. Demon.
strations had been expected but there were none as the
audience was orderly

The seven justices hearing the appeal included Madam
Justice Bertha Wilson, who helped the United Church of
Canada draft an abortion policy in the early 1970s before she
became a judge.

As the hearing began, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney,
his wife Mila and their year-old son Nicolas appeared at a
gathering on Parliament Hill a couple of blocks away to
officially launch National Family Week. Later in the
Commons, New Democrat MP Svend Robinson introduced a
bill that, if passed, would make it legal for women to get
abortions in clinics similar to those Morgentaler operates.

Abortion was illegal in Canada until 1969 when
Parliament changed the law to allow therapeutic abortions
in hospitals, but only after a committee of doctors had
approved the operation

Morgentaler opened his first private clinics in Montreal
in the early 1970s and three juries there acquitted him of
performing illegal abortions.

When the Quebec Court of Appeal reversed the third
acquittal and sent him to jail for 18 months in the mid-1970s,
Parliament decided the courts of appeal could no longer
reverse jury decisions. If they though juries had made a
mistake, they could order a new trial, but appeal court
judges could not convict a person acquitted by a jury

VANCOUVER (CP —
Woodworkers’ union leader
Jack Munro said Tuesday the
British Columbia forest
strike might have ended if
Premier Bill Vander Zalm
had not relied solely on the
advice of his campaign man-
ager during talks with both
sides that ended in failure.

David Poole, executive di-
rector of the Social Credit
party and Vander Zalm's
campaign manager, was
“actively involved” in the
talks, Munro said.

“It was ‘what about this,
what about that.’ It was
terrible.”

Munro said such a role

gardiess of whether you're

have somebody with you,” he
said.

“I didn't know that anyone
there knew or cared that he
was a party person.”

Keith Bennett, chief ne-
gotiator for the forest com-
panies, described Munro's
comments as nonsense.

“The reason he (Vander
Zalm) didn’t get an agree-

said.

Poole said there was noth-
