Newsletter on King

By JERRY HARKAVY BANGOR, ME. (AP) — Some Stephen King fans recall Castle Rock as the town in which a crippled schoolteacher discovered his psychic powers in The Dead Zone, while to others it's where a rapid dog trapped a mother and child in a

car in Cujo.

The fictitious Castle Rock, set in the Bridgton-Norway area of western Maine, has also been the setting for several

of King’s shorter works.

So it was no surprise that Stephanie Leonard, who has spent the past six years as King’s secretary, chose Castle Rock as the title of her monthly publication devoted to news of the best-selling horror writer.

The name, she says,

“has a lot of identification with

Steve, and besides, I like the sound of it.”

Castle Rock, which made its debut in January, is a newsletter, six to 12 pages long, crammed with information about King’s novels, stories, movie adaptations and other

projects. Written in a breezy, conversational tone — King is referred to throughout as S.K. — it carries reviews, trivia,

contests, cartoons,

and reader contri

Major exhibit

This September marks the 10th anniversary of the Na. tional Exhibition Centre and to mark the milestone, the NEC has planned many ac- tivities.

Changes, a multi-media juried exhibit will be pro- duced by the NEC for Sep tember. This exhibit will fea. ture the work of 20 artists.

Ten artists who have had one-person shows at the NEC in the past and 10 who have yet to have shows will be chosen.

This exhibit will be com. prised of works in all media — sculpture, fabric, pottery, as well as the various media of painting. Pieces will be juried and will be exhibited for the entire month.

Artists interested in sub- mitting pieces for consider-

ation should contact the NEC for details.

To complement this ex- hibit, the NEC is also pro- ducing a limited edition print by artist Les Weisbrich. Special programs for children inelude an artifact identifi- cation contest.

As well, the NEC will conduct a two-day workshop for those people who own an- tiques and would like more information on their care and maintenance.

Other public programming for this event will be an- nounced throughout the sum- mer.

“The NEC hopes that all citizens of the West Koot- enay will join us in this cele- bration,” adds director Luc- ille Doucette.

Irene Gempton pertorms Put- tin’ on the Ritz at the Castlegar Arts Council annual general meeting

LOS ANGELES (AP) — John Travolta, whostrutted to stardom with Saturday Night Fever and then took a tumble with a few movie flops, hopes his interviewing techniques will pay off with his latest project.

He plays the part of a writer for Rolling Stone magazine in the movie Perfect. And to prepare for the role, he did an interview with fellow actor Sylvester Stallone. He gave it to Aaron Latham, who had written the script. He told the actor the story was good and to write some more.

Travolta continued on his new work processor — a gift from Latham and director James Bridges — with stories on Latham, Bridges, co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, Debra Winger, Columbia Pictures president Guy McIlwaine and others. All were printed last month in Rolling Stone. Travolta’s story on Jann Wenner, the magazine's editor and publisher, appeared in Interview magazine.

“What made jt easier was the fact that for 10 years I have been the interviewee watching the interviewer,” Travolta said. “I've seen the highest of ethics to the lowest, as you would find in any profession.”

Perfect is based on a series of Rolling Stone articles by Latham about the sweaty world of California's health clubs. Latham wrote the script with Bridges. The movie, Travolta said, is not merely about body building.

“It's also about the conflict of a reporter's personal ideals as opposed to his paper's ethics,” he said. As Adam Lawrence, Travolta uses his charm to learn secrets about an aerobics teacher (Curtis) and her friends. He writes a sharp-edged article, then submits a blander version after an attack of conscience. Rolling Stone prints its own tough version without his knowledge.

“I developed a great deal of sympathy for the

interviewer,” the 31-year-old actor said. “It seems to me the interviewer is faced with a triple ethic: his own as a journalist; those of his editor and-or publisher; the attitude of the public. Often those three are in conflict. Now I have more understanding of the pressures that an interviewer faces in striving to maintain his own integrity.”

Travolta in new film

Travolta played both interviewee and interviewer during a session at the Bel-Air Hotel, where he had come from his Santa Barbara spread. He is inclined to become the questioner — as he chides Curtis for doing in the movie — and has to be returned to answering. “But I'm really interested,” he protested.

Does he like interviews?

“That depends on how interesting the interviewer is,” he said.

“If I can get on topies that are new, that makes it more worthwhile. If we're in areas that I have covered before, it can be hard. I try to vary my answers so I can keep up my own interest.”

JOINED WORKSHOP

Travolta was born in Englewood, N.J., the youngest of six children. He took tap dancing lessons from Frank Kelly, Gene Kelly's brother, and at 12 joined the Actor's Studio workshop.

He was the class clown in high school and dropped out when he was 16 to concentrate on acting. He did TV commercials and appeared in several off-Broadway productions. He first came to national attention as the “sweathog” Vinnie Barbarino in TV's Welcome Back Kotter.

His first movie was Devil's Rain. But it was Saturday Night Fever that really launched him as a star. He starred in Grease and Urban Cowboy and played in such misses as Moment by Moment and Two of a Kind.

Last month, he took time out from hyping Perfect to join in a Church of Scientology protest over a $39 million fraud judgment against the group and its leader. Travolta has been a member of the organization for 10 years.

He has had a steady romance with Marilu Henner, who plays one of the health club fanatics in Perfect. Now for an old reliable interviewer's question: Does he plan to get married?

I don't know,” he replied thoughtfully. “It really varies with me. At times I feel tired of not having a commitment. Of course I do have a commitment in theory, but marriage is as solid a commitment as you can

get. Maybe I'll do it.”

Christian band plays rock 'n’ roll

NASHVILLE, TENN. (AP) — Petra plays high-octane music with a heavy metal sound using the beat of a smorgasbord of 23 drums.

Though their concerts, enhanced by electronic gear for digital sequencing and programming, have the appearance of a rock 'n’ roll extravaganza, there's also the spirit of a revival.

Between the raging guitars and driving drums are tranquil offerings of Christian witness.

The five-member group is a 13-year-old contemporary Christian rock band, and it's cultivating a loyal following of teenagers lured by the heavy metal music and the prayerful promise from “a higher order.”

Petra is drawing concert crowds of about 4,500 teenagers this year. The programs also bring in a few parents, who are fearful that some rock ‘n’ roll acts are influencing their children “to wear leather and put on chains,” said lead guit: Bob Hartman

And it's alright that Christian messages are sent by way of rock because music was created for God's pleasure, said lead singer Greg X. Volz. “God's not nervous over how loud he said in an interview

Petra plays a rock ‘n’ roll beat that some fundamental. ists have branded “devil music.” In fact, Hartman said, in the band’s early years “some churches prayed against us.”

However, Volz, a father of four, said: “It's not the style of music that is good or evil. It is the message and spirit.”

The Nashville-based Petra plays songs such as For Annie, about preventing teenage suicide, and Hollow Eyes, about world hunger.

At 105 decibels, their loud music is actually about 10 decibels softer than most rock ‘n’ roll concerts.

“The emphasis is on the clarity of the lyrics,” said Volz

“Music for this generation is the No. 1 thing that motivates them. We're trying to take the music the Lord has given and put a positive impact on the kids.”

Callaghan — little big man

TORONTO (CP) — The 'g oak door that is opened in greeting by Morley Callaghan — little old man and literary giant — somehow makes him seem even smaller.

There is a slight shuffle as he leads the way into a big. airy, well-worn living room for a talk about his new book, his life as viewed in his 83rd year, and why it is that he “never hit the jackpot.”

He's thrilled, and mystified, that the Russians love his work and keep on publishing it, charmed that the Chinese call him “a bunch of flowers,” and he chuckles over an exchange with author Pierre Burton who told him, “Morley, you are the most successful failure in Canada.”

Although he still writes, he doesn’t read much any more, A lifelong passion for reading in bed — them all, you see, Balzac, Dickens, Tolstoy . , him with a pain in the neck.

“Instead, I watch television a lot,” he says, pointing to a dark, high-ceilinged den across the broad hallway, filled with framed pictures and momentoes of a glamorous life. It also includes a fireplace, a high-backed leather chair and a TV. It seems a poor reward for a lifetime devoted to literature but, as with most everything these days, he's philosophical.

TV LIKE VALIUM

“Luse TV the way some people use Valium,” he says. “It puts me to sleep, you see. I nap a lot in my chair.”

Aside from this neck business the wit is sharp, the voice resonant and the recall total as he reminisces about

, his early days as the “boy with the golden spoon.”

Callaghan is a living contradiction of the Canadian cliche that to become famous at home one must first become famous abroad. He did just that but still was often taken for granted at home while hailed abroad, even being nominated for a Nobel prize in literature.

“I guess I'm probably famous enough here now,” he says philosophically. “That's the way life is. I don’t know why it was the way it was.”

He already had something of a name as a writer, having published his first novel by the time he graduated from law school in 1928, when he got married and headed straight for Paris. Those were exciting, tangy days mixing with the likes of macho Ernest Hemingway, the handsome, alcoholic F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce and many others.

WERE MILLSTONES

“In a sense, to tell you the truth, Hemingway and Fitzgerald became like a millstone around my neck. The academics sort of pinned us together, you see, but I became almost like a peripheral being.”

Even the dustjacket of his latest novel, OUr Lady of the Snows published’ by Macmillan, mentions his friend ship with the two American literary figures. They were fast friends and learned from each other, Callaghan says, hone he sometimes was embarrassed by Fitzgerald's

and ions with ingway cooled after Callaghan floored him in a boxing match, an event that became something of a sensation among gossips of the day

As stated on the cover, the new novel was suggested by an earlier Callaghan story, The Enchanted Pimp, and there has been some critical carping that it is simply a reworking of an old story. But it's such a good story, peopled by those bright, crisp enchanting Callaghan characters, that it is hard to imagine anyone would feel cheated by this new incarnation.

It concerns an elegant, blonde goddess, a Hungarian who is a whore.

WORKS FROM HOTEL

She operates out of a Toronto hotel that is divided so that its lounges cater to crooks and gangsters but also judges and Rosedale socialities.

Callaghan still lives in exclusive Rosedale, alone in a big. three-storey house now distinguished from its well-manicured neighbors by the cracked walkway and the thrusting dandelions taking over the ill-kept lawn.

The new book is a Toronto story that couldn't be set in Halifax or Rome or anywhere else, he says. He made up the hotel by combining features of several places he knows. “I was very cagey about that. I didn't want anyone to be able to identify it

“I sort of like the notion that it becomes my hotel, sort of Morley’s Place. I can bring in all kinds of people — criminals, whores, whatever. It's a great device for my purposes.”

Callaghan thinks he had two great attributes as a writer. First, he always believed what he was writing was good and would stand the test of time — a faith sustained by the fact he is still widely republished and translated. And second, his ability to mix with all people, to know them and to get inside the characters he creates, be they priests or callgirls.

“A really good book is a mystery story and my idea of a mystery story is my own book,” he says with a chuckle. “The worst ones are the stories that are still a mystery when the book is finished. They call that

ambiguity, you see. It's become very fashionable. It leaves the reader to figure it out; the author obviously didn’t know.”
