ENTERTAINMENT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Still glowing from a hot though non- record summer, the movie business enters the fall season with something a little different from the high- budget, body-count films that dominated the last three months.

The warm-weather box office produced some big numbers, with Die Hard 2, Total Recall, Dick Tracy and Ghost passing the $100 million US mark. Daily Variety's Art Murphy

calculates the 1990 summer is only six per cent short of last year’s sizzler, which amassed a record $719 million.

The surprises this year were a pair of romantic fantasies, Pretty Woman (3170 million) and Ghost (climbing to, $100 million in only five weeks.) Hollywood is hoping for more of- fbeat hits in the fall product, which leans heavily on comedy and drama and less on violence.

There are a few promising films among the fall harvest:

Postcards From the Edge, Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine as mother and daughter in Catrie Fisher’s novel, directed by Mike Nichols.

Awakening, Penny Marshall (Big) directing Robert De Niro and Robin Williams as amnesia victim and doc- tor.

fellas, a Mafia yarn based on the, Wok Wise Guy, featuring De Niro and Ray Liota and directed by Martin Scorsese.

Even the

By ROD CURRIE The Canadian Press

Struggling authors take heart — even the mightiest of literary lions have suffered the slings and arrows of rejection.

Spare a thought, for instance, for the young Oscar Wilde who, having submitted Lady Windermere’s Fan in 1892, received the following putdown from a publisher:

“My dear sir, | have read your

manuscript. Oh, my dear sir.””

Or George Orwell, offering his brilliant political satire Animal Farm, only to be informed: ‘‘It is impossible to sell animal stories in the U.S.A.””

Norman Mailer’s eventual best- seller The Deer Park drew this war- ning: ‘It will set publishing back 25 years.””

And Anita Loos’s Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the 1925 novel that became a hit Broadway musical and Marilyn Monroe movie, inspired a disapproving, finger-wagging lecture from her publisher:

“Do you realize, young woman, that you’re the first American writer ever to poke fun at sex?’’

It seems some of the most poisonous, brittle, critical, and humorous writing in literature may

Driving program on Cable 10

Shaw Cable 10 will be televising another progranvon safe driving Aug— 28 at 8 p.m

Fhis—program will be live from Shaw’s programming studio in Castlegar. Host Richard Maddocks will talk to two members of the RC- MP highway patrol and two driving instructors about highway safety.

This program will begin with a short segment that was taped during a typical day for the highway patrol, then the program will go to the studio where the public can call to ask questions of the guests.

Later _in the show, there—will_be another tape segment with the instructors giving a short preview to motorcycle training. The program will then return to the studio for more phone calls.

The phone numbers for this live program entitled Street Smarts 2 will be 368-5501 (toll free from Trail area) and 365-3122 in Castlegar.

New releases lean more on comedy, drama

White Hunter, Black Heart. Clint Eastwood directs himself in a script based on John Huston’s adventures during the filming of The African Queen.

Pacific Heights, a thriller with Michael Keaton as a presumably friendly neighbor to a couple, Melanie Griffith and Matthew Modine.

The Rescuers Down Under, a new Disney animated feature and the first sequel; Bob Newhart and Eva Gabor repeat their voicing of special mouse agents Bernard and Miss Bianca.

Dances With Wolves, Kevin Cost- ner starring and directing an epic of Western America.

Rocky V: The Final Bell, with Rocky Balboa managing another fighter this time.

If the fall season seems a bit serious, that’s because the studios trot out the dramas that might get lost in the summer and, not coincidentally, that might contain potentials for Academy Awards.

Some of the better offerings in- clude:

Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams, an in- terpretation of the great director’s dreams with a mostly Japanese cast

and Scorsese as Vincent van Gogh.

Desperate Hours, a remake of the Humphrey Bogart-Fredric March thriller with Mickey Rourke and An- thony Hopkins directed by Michael Cimino (The Deer Hunter, Heaven’s Gate).

Reversal of Fortune, the Claus von Bulow story starring Glenn Close, Jeremy Irons and Ron Silver.

Avalon, Barry Levinson (Rain Man) continues his trilogy of Baltimore life that includes Diner and Tin Men.

Texasville, Peter Bogdanovich’s return to The Last Picture Show with most of the original cast.

White Palace, Susan Sarandon and James Spader involved in a mismat- ched sexual adventure.

State of Grace, Sean Penn returns to his childtood haunts in New York's Hell’s Kitchen,

Miller’s Crossing, the offbeat Coen brothers (Raising Arizona) return with a mob-oriented drama starring Gabriel Byrne and Albert Finney.

Comedies will also play a major role in the fall season.

Alice is Woody Allen’s return to comedy, with a cast including Mia Farrow, William Hurt, Cybill

Fall films less violent

Shepherd and Alec Baldwin.

Sibling Rivalry stars Kirstie Alley, Bill Pullman and Carrie Fisher in a family comedy directed by Carl Reiner.

Leonard Nimoy directs Gene Wilder and Christine Lahti in an ironic love story in ny About Love.

Action-adventure isn’t being neglected, though the offerings lack the $50 million-plus budgets and high- tech gimmickry of summer films.

A sampling:

Marked for Death, Steven Seagal fights the drug lords.

Quigley Down Under, Tom Selleck in Australia.

Memphis Belle, Mathew Modine and John Lithgow in the World War II air war.

Narrow Margin, Gene Hackman and Anne Archer fleeing by train from mob hitmen.

Steven King’s Graveyard Shift, another offering from the fright king.

Misery, Rob Reiner directs, James Caan in King’s story of a best-selling author captured by a fan.

Night of the Living Dead, an up- date of George A. Romero’s 1968 classic.

Child’s Play Il, the psychopathic killer doll Chucky returns.

If none of the above catch fire, theatre owners can look forward to one of the most promising holiday season in years.

There’s enough to fill a book, and that is exactly what Andre Bernard has done in Rotten Rejections. The slim volume is a collection of some of the most scathing examples of

Publisher rejections, often delivered ‘to writers of books now considered immortal. we.

When Pearl S. Buck, the’ first American woman to win the Nobel Prize for literature, submitted The Good Earth — a sympathetic por- trayal of Chinese peasant life which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1932 — the publisher replied:

“Regret the American public is not interested in anything on China.”’

Pierre Boulle’s The Bridge Over the River Kwai drew this response: “A very bad book.’”

When D.H. Lawrence submitted the shocking Lady Chatterley’s Lover, he was advised: ‘‘For your own good, do not publish this book.’’

If publishers were rotten at times, they also had to live with their costly mistakes. For instance, the one who told a competitor — speaking of John le Carre whose best-sellers included The Spy Who Came in From the Cold: ‘*You’re welcome to le Carre — he hasn’t got any future.”

Another said of H.G. Wells, whose masterpieces included The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds, he’s ‘only a minor writer of no large promise.’”

Or Rudyard Kipling, the mighty poet of the British Empire and England’s first winner of the Nobel Prize for literature: ‘‘I’m sorry, Mr. Kipling, but you just don’t know how to use the English language.”

Finally published in 1934, it has sold about 20 million copies.

Ezra Pound, the poet and great man of literature, must surely have been left scratching his head over this response to a 1912 poem — “‘The opening lines contains too many r’s.””

Samuel Johnson, 18th-century London author, satirist and critic, was more specific in ticking off a

VANCOUVER (CP) — Premier Bill Vander Zalm says the plan by the chiefs of the Mount Currie and Lyt- ton Indian bands to sue him over remarks he made about the Stein Valley Festival ‘‘seems ridiculous."’

Festival organizer John McCan- dless said the chiefs have hired legal counsel and a writ for damages will be filed shortly. He did not say what amount would be sought.

“We will seek damages that result from the premier’s having made

Jim Matkin, president of the Business Council of B.C., said Levinson’s appointment will be good for unions and employers alike and his decisions will be fair and even-handed.

Labor sees the appointment as bad timing.

“*It seems to me someone with a labor background would bea little more prudent in making decisions like that,”’ said Ken Georgetti, president of the B.C. Federation of Labor. °

Georgetti agreed it could be in labor’s interest to have soméone considered a strong labor advocate on the council but said B.C.’s labor legislation prevents council vice-chairmen from making ‘‘reasonable”’

judgments.

Court won't second guess

VANCOUVER — Endorsing the Industrial Relations Council as a specialized and unique agency, the B.C. Supreme Court has refused to second-guess one of its decisions.

“‘There are sound reasons in policy and law for the legislative decision to place great distance in the relationship between the courts and the specialized tribunals,’’ the court said.

Justice Bruce Harvey dismissed a petition in which the B.C. Ferry Corp. sought to overturn a council decision affecting the B.C. Ferry and Marine Workers Union.

The decision involved a ferry worker's allegation that the union

The country gets most of its of- fshore oil — about 350,000 barrels a day — from the North Sea. Only 16,000 barrels a day usually come from Iraq.

“We are-net exporters,’’ Epp said. “The issue has always been not sup- ply_as much as location of supply and distribution.””

Competition within the industry will be a key factor in determining the size and timing of price increases, Dawn Mitchell, a spokesman for Husky Oil, said.

Gasoline prices in Canada have held stable since Iraq invaded Kuwait three weeks ago.

Alberta Energy Minister Rick Or- man said Canadian companies have been fairly responsible. ‘‘It’s-been a lot different from the way the Americans have reacted.””

Gasoline prices in the United States have increased significantly since the Iraqi invasion.

Canadian suppliers appear to have made a decision to deplete existing inventories rather than take advan- tage of chaos in the world oil market, Orman said.

A price increase may not be all bad, Orman said. It will encourage a more “‘rational and reasonable’’ use of fossil fyels, he said.

Higher prices for crude oil are not expected to have an immediate impact on the search for new supplies in Canada.
