He casually mentioned that he had signed Richard Attenborough to direct the film version of his latest best seller, "Shogun." Clavell himself is negotiating the picture deal and will appear on the credits as executive producer. His first novel, "King Rat," which turned into a big winner, has come to life again. The German magazine Stern has acquired the rights to serialize the 12-yearold book, which is a semi-autobiographical account of Clavell's wartime prison-camp experiences. Also here were Bill Mason, who got sidetracked from painting and animating into wildlife filmmaking; Australian filmmaker Paul Winker, present for a structuralist/ minimalist cinema presentation, and Canada's well-known Donald Brittain, whose "Volcano," an inquiry into the life and death of Canadian novelist Malcolm Lowry, was nominated for an Academy Award. For $10, interested film buffs were able to spend "The Third Man" concluding the series. "Otets Soldata" (A Soldier's Father), produced in the USSR, the last in the Contemporary Eastern Europe series, was shown by the same group March 15. Neighboring Banff played host to Farrah Fawcett-Majors and her husband Lee Majors for a few days. Mrs. Majors arrived in Banff March 10 to join her husband, who had arrived previously to enjoy a ski holiday. It is expected that the two stars will form their own company and, according to reports, shooting on a made-for-TV movie starring Lee Majors will begin soon. Wain Covert, Warner Bros, branch manager, reports that Blain jr. is just completing another busy year of hockey. Playing in the juvenile ranks, Blain jr.'s team—the Canyon Meadow Cougars—were slated to meet with Brentwood for the city championship in their division. The faculty of the education department of educational foundations at the University of Calgary is presenting a series on world development as a means of examining the situation in the Third World and Canada. Five movies were scheduled to be shown dealing with Latin America, Asia and Arica as well as world perspectives. A different resource person was slated to be at the screenings to comment on the film unreeled. Offerings included the 1974 Danish film "The History Book," "Calcutta" and "The Long Chain," "A Luta Continua" and "Tanzania," "The Double Day" and "Mexico" and "That's the Price" and "The Other Side." a day with Brittain at the National Film Board Theatre, 1185 West Georgia . . .

The Pacific Cinematheque's "In Person" presentation ended March 23 with American Jon Rubin screening and talking about his abstract films. Laera Dalen, producer of the upcoming "Skip Tracer," writes from Highlight Productions to inform that the picture is now fine cut, winding up 94 minutes long. It has been screened for representatives of Odeon, Canfilm, Warner Bros, and CBS, who generally felt the picture has the makings of a winner when scoring is complete. Completion date for the feature has been rescheduled for June 15. The opening of the Capitol Six and the Orpheum as a cultural and music center gave media folks in town an occasion they couldn't resist. Everyone rushed in to interview Irvan Ackery, who had been involved with both houses—the Capitol back in 1921 (as an usher) and the Orpheum for 25 years (as manager). Some of the recollections were priceless, such as the time a very young Susan Hayward was here for an opening and injured an ankle. For two days Ivan had to carry her up and down the stairs for every performance. The best quote, though, came when he said that when he started in the business the pictures were all black and white — "today so many are in flesh tones." New Westminster High invested $9,000 in the school's production of "Fiddler on the Roof." Starring Ross Laidley, the production had a three-day stand. Columnist Jack Wasserman remembers when they mounted a whole week of "Theatre Under the Stars," all professional and all union, for that kind of money! The best story of the week, not relating to show business, concerned a mining type, one of the early Variety Club members here who always signed his letters with the initials IRC after his name—Independent Rock Crusher. He had the status-seekers going nuts trying to figure out who he really was . . . Getting lovely Linda Sorenson for Michel Tremblay's "Bonjour la Bonjour," which opened at the 200-seat Arts Club, was no small coup. She came direct from appearing in two major motion pictures for 20th Century-Fox.
