ST. MARGARET'S, England (AP) — It’s late in a slow day's filming, but Shirley MacLaine is taking it all in stride.

I don’t live to act,” she says, as she makes her first feature film in four years. “I act to spice up living, so it wasn't as though I needed to get right back to work to prove I was bankable.”

The 53-year-old star won an Academy Award as best

Now, a stage show, two books, and a TV mini-series later, she has the title role in Madame Sousatzka, a $5.4 million film shot at Twickenham Studios, located in the suburban London town of St. Margaret's, The movie, directed by John Schlesinger, is due for an American release next fall from Cineplex Odeon.

‘This is my leap into character acting; it:

really is.' SHIRLEY MACLAINE ... loves story

Russian parentage, and her pupil, Indian boy of exceptional talent, newcomer Navin Chowdhry.

The supporting cast includes Dame Peggy Ashcroft, the Oscar-winning Mrs. Moore from A Passage to India, as Lady Emily, the owner of the seedy house in which Sousatzka lodges.

LOVES STORY

“I love and have always loved the story,” said the film's producer, Robin Dalton, a former literary agent who repre- sented the 1962 Berwice Rubens novel from which Ruth Prawer Jhabvala adapted her script.

Dalton said the material had a powerful theme.

“It's about the triumph of the human spirit and the right to choose not to succeed,” she said, referring to Sousatzka's desire to tutor Manek ina sheltered environment free from the pressures of public performance

“It's about a whole lot of people who do their own thing and survive and don't really know they're not successful

because they don't think about success in worldly terms. MacLaine said she was drawn to the contradictions in the part.

is very She's epic, contra. dictory, and I love to play people who are two things at the same time,” said the actress, costumed in layers of loose, elaborately patterned clothes to reflect Sousatzka’s eclectic taste.

MacLaine spoke to The Associated Press in her trailer while technicians set up the next scene. Her face powdered, her hair curled and pulled back, she looked generations away from the waif-like imp who first came to attention over three decades ago on Broadway and in such films as Irma La Douce and The Apartment.

The actress acknowledged the change: “This is my leap into character acting; it really is. Thi something that Geraldine Page would have done 10 years ago — maybe 15.”

MacLaine said she likes to choose roles she would have a good time doing.

“It's the process of working I now hold as a higher priority, not the goal,” she said. “I can’t look at whether I think something’s going to make a lot of money or be accepted by the critics or be a good career move.

“The process has nothing to do with money, with whether it'll kill your career or be an Oscar. It has everything to do with loving to go to work every morning.”

MacLaine said she was not sorry about the lapse between her last two films and used the time to tackle other projects.

“I wrote, did a lot of stage work and then I did Out ona Limb,” she said, referring to the five-hour television mini-series based on her of past ‘S, both romantic and mystical.

“The whole experience of playing myself 10 years ago was like playing another character I happened to know very well,” she said. “I had a wonderful time.”

By TIM O'CONNOR Canadian Press

TORONTO — With all the tinkering and processing that goes into making records these days, it’s no wonder most pop albums appear as stale as week-old doughnuts.

But Ry Cooder's new LP, Get Rhythm, sounds so fresh it's as though he discovered a new recording technique — when all he did with his 11-piece band was make music the old-fashioned way.

“Playing together in the studio is almost unheard of these days,” Cooder said in an interview. “The modern concept is to work out individual parts and piece them together.

“I can't stand real worked-out music. It just gets real boring.

“But when people play together, they can swing and you will feel that as looseness,” said Cooder, a 40-year-old from Santa Monica, Calif.

In an industry where some drummers have been replaced by machines, it’s comforting to find the wizard of slide is still working his old magic — dusting off neglected relics and bringing them to life with inspired arrange- ments.

Like most of his 10 previous albums, Get Rhythm is full of blues, calypso, country, rockabilly and Tex-Mex. GUITAR BUZZES

The title track, written by Johnny Cash, percolates with Mexican rhythm. On 13 Question Method, Cooder sounds like a delta bluesman wailing away on his porch. On All Shook Up, the Elvis hit, his guitar buzzes like a swarm of angry hornets.

Despite critical acclaim — his 1974 Paradise and Lunch LP is considered a masterpiece — his earlier albums sold poorly. In 1982, he quit making records, finding financial stability in composing and recording

Get Rhythm goes live from studio

soundtracks of such movies as Crossroads and Paris, Texas.

“I wasn't getting anywhere financially or otherwise making records,” he said with a hint of drawl while slouched on a couch, his feet propped up on a coffee table in a Toronto hotel room.

Soundtracks also allowed him to reach more people. When his rustic music was presented with the desert images in Paris, Texas, a large audience could better understand his music, he said.

He also played on John Hiatt’s acclaimed Bring the Family album.

Last spring, Cooder returned to the studio because he believed he and his musicians had achieved a “band sound.”

“You need that, and complementary musicians who understand what their role is,” he said.

“But it just can’t be talked about. So you get to it by playing in a lot of different ciréumstances until those roles are, hopefully, worked out subconsciously.”

Playing as a unit, the musicians experienced a few surprises.

“We were jamming and I remember thinking: ‘This is a great groove, I wonder what it is?’

“I said, ‘This could be All Shook Up, so follow me. Turn on the tape machine. Keep playing.’ ”

Resurrecting songs has been Cooder’s trademark since he went on his own after working as a session musician and playing with Captain Beefheart and Taj Mahal in the 1960s.

“On a lot of those older tunes, you could hear things in them that hadn't been expressed, and I figured, well, this may only be the tip.

“It's like buried treasure — you, just got to keep prospecting and looking.”

The Castlegar Senior Citi- zens Association held its business meeting Jan. 7 with a new slate of officers who were installed at the Decem ber meeting.

New officers are president Gordon Ferguson, treasurer Jean Fitzpatrick, secretary Frances Hunter. The usual mid-week activities are con tinuing.

The social meeting was held Jan. 21, with Gwilym and Eileen Hughes showing slides of their recent trip around the world after Gwilym retired from Comin- co. They visited every cont- inent except South America.

With the slides and Eileen’s interesting com

slides

mentary seniors learned a little more about Japan, China, Australia, South Afri- ca and Europe.

The Hughes spent the most time in South Africa, this being Eileen's birthplace and where she still has family. This country was most fascinating and seniors saw the contrasts of beautiful beaches and arid deserts, mountains, and game pre- serves with their wild ani- mals.

Seniors travelled on with the Hughes to Europe as their tour ended with visits to Greece, Spain, England and Wales.

The enjoyable afternoon ended with refreshments and a social hour.

MARCH TOURNEY

SHSS hopeful

Stanley Humphries secon- dary school will be hosting the high school girls ‘A’ provincial basketball champ- ionships this year.

The tournament runs March 16 - 19 and will feature the province's 16 top single ‘A’ girls basketball teams. About 224 players will take part.

The teams will be coming from all over the province and exactly what teams will show is to be determined through zone playoffs.

A new wrinkle has been added to the usual tourney

program book. Participating merchants have been listed in a “passport” and many will be offering discounts for that weekend.

Passport bearers who visit three or more contribyting merchants will be able to turn in the bottom half of their card as a raffle ticket at the school, with a chance to win a weekend at Ainsworth Hot Springs and other prizes.

These passports will be made available in early March to anyone wishing to have one. They will also be distributed during the tour- ney.

Coke derivitive

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — A deadly new form of cocaine is beginning to sur face, and U.S. ment officials “triple threat” because of its low price, high potency and

quick addictive effect.

So-called basuco, also known as. bazooka, little devil, diesel or coke paste, sells for as little as $1 US a vial and gives a faster and stronger high than the co- caine-derivative crack.

But basuco, the Spanish word for cocaine paste or cocaine sulphate, is made in a simple, éne-step process that produces high residues of lead and sulphuric acid.

“It is incredibly harmful to any individual smoking i said Lieut. Jack Quigley, assistant director of the Ber. gen County Narcotic Task Force. “The coca leaves are soaked in kerosene and the

Fat substitute found

glomerate Monsanto Co. said.

Simplesse does not require regulatory approval in the United States, and products using it could be available within 18 months, said Rob. ert Shapiro, NutraSweet’s chairman and chief executive officer.

Roberson id drug abusers who might be at- tracted to basuco's low price must be made aware of its highly impure nature. “Normally, a lot of con- taminants or pollutants would be removed during the processing of the coca leaf,” he said. “That's why cocaine costs more than crack.”

Shapiro said the substitute would allow calorie reduc tions of up to 80 per cent compared with foods that contain fat.

He said Simplesse is “based on an elegantly simple and totally unexpected dis. covery.” NutraSweet re. searchers found that protein particles of a certain size and shape can “fool the tongue” into seeming like rich foods, he said.
