CARA director 

testifies in trial 

on Ohio bid law 

By TONY RUTHERFORD 

Regional Correspondent 

COLL M BUS. Ohio— After nearly three weeks of 

testimony, the final witness on behalf of the Motion Picture 

Association of America took the stand July 20 in the legal 

challenge to Ohio's anti blind bidding statute. 

The witness. Albert Van Schmus, administrative director of 

the Classification and Rating Administration, explained why 

CARA viewed unfinished prints, although theatre owners 

often had to wait for final prints. 

Van Schmus said that CARA often reviewed a print not in 

final form because a distributor may want to learn the board's 

mandate before ordering 1.000 answer prints. In that way. if 

they desire to make modifications to gain a softer rating, they 

can be made without going to the expense of editing all the 

answer prints. 

TESTIFYING THAT what CARA views is something 

substantially in final form. Van Schmus carefully pointed out. 

however, that CARA did not review a production for commer 

cial qualities. 

Although the anti-blind bidding statute contains an option 

permitting tradescreening of a CARA version if the final print 

is not available, attorneys representing the plaintiffs (the 

MPA A and major film companiesi argue that the displaying of 

an unfinished print could be misleading insofar as judgment of 

quality is concerned. 

Although CARA prints contain, according to Van Schmus. 

all the v isual material and all the sound that may have a bear 

ingon the film's rating, these versions may or may not contain 

music, may be in need of color touch ups and in general still be 

in 

need of polish. 

EARLIER IN THE week. John Tabor, an exhibitor with 

situations in five Ohio cities, testified on behalf of the plain 

tiffs. 

Tabor's testimony indicated he preferred to license films in 

advance of a tradescreening to remain as close as possible to 

national release dates. 

However, it should be noted that in four of the five territories 

in which Tabor operates theatres he has no competitors. 

In addition. Tabor testified that the distributors had been 

fair with him.

'Amityville' campaign fast, furious 

By JIM ROBBINS 

East Coast Editor 

NEW YORK—Twenty-five years 

ago. a S66.000 picture called "The Fast 

and the Furious" inaugurated 

American International Pictures' entry 

into (he motion picture business. Today, 

the title captures the tone of Al's 

56 million national advertising campaign 

for "The Amityville Horror." 

which opened July 27 in over 500 

theatres nationwide. 

Describing the drive to attract the 

metropolitan area public to the horrorsuspense 

film that bowed last Friday at 

90 houses in New York and New 

Jersey, Larry Steinfield. Al's advertising 

and publicity representative for New 

York, reported massive posting of onesheets 

around town and tie ins with B. 

Dalton Booksellers. Also. WABCAM 

and WBAB FM gave away hundreds of 

tickets to their listeners for a special 

series of previews the day before the 

opening. The public's response to both 

radio giveaways was overwhelming, he 

said.

Short to 

with big 'Americathon' 

NEW YORK— Hailed as a breakthrough in 

ihe drive to recognize the short films of independent 

filmmakers. United Artists and 

Lorimar Productions are circulating the nine 

minute "Doublelalk" with the 86 minute 

"Amencathon." 

Exhibitors will be required to show the ex 

tra film but no additional charge will be made 

About 60 prints of the film directed by Los 

Angeles filmmaker Alan Beattie are already 

circulating, and UA will draw up the number 

necessary to accompany the 600 or so prints of 

"Americathon " 

The double bill is scheduled to bow in the 

New York area theatres Aug. 8. 

Arthur Reiman of UA's short film division 

said he recently sent a letter to the company's 

branch managers instructing them to inform 

theatremen that the short "will be right in the 

can with the first reel and it will be included in 

the advertising as an extra added attraction." 

Last year, Reiman noted. "Clay" was run 

ning with "Coming Home" in some locations, 

and this year a short subject about the King 

Tut exhibit was advertised and screened with 

"La Cage Aux Folles" at the 68th Street 

Playhouse. 

But the distribution of a short film on a 

large scale is very rare indeed, said Reiman. 

who added that UA's only goal is to drum up 

some support and recognition for young, free 

agent filmmakers. 

Alan Milosky. the administrator for the 

Short Film Showcase, said he was thrilled with 

the UA/Lonmar agreement. The Showcase, a 

program sponsored by the National Endow 

ment for the Arts. NATO and MPA A. recent 

ly 

launched the second year of furnishing free 

shorts to U. S. Exhibitors. 

Mitosky said the double engagement is "one 

of the single most important things that could 

have happened in getting independent films to 

the broad public." He said the showcase "does 

all right" peddling the films out of New York 

"but when a major gets behind it like this, obviously 

that covers more area than we could 

ever hope to." 

Reiman. who said UA and NAE are spen 

ding millions on the drive to call attention to 

short films, addressed the exhibitors in a 

typically passionate enthusiasm: "You're crying 

about a shortage of films. Here's your 

chance to support young filmmakers. For crying 

out loud, support the program. It's to your 

benefit." 

A few random telephone calls to exhibitors 

inquiring into their reactions to the addition of 

a short film resulted in surprised but positive 

reactions. 

Anthony Mailers, who owns and operates a 

six theatre chain in the Muncie, Ind. , area, 

said he had received "Americathon." but 

hadn't yet taken a look at it. When told a nineminute 

film was included, he said. "Unless it's 

out of taste I would not object to a nine 

minute short with an 86 minute film. If it were 

a 1 10-minute feature, that would be different. 

"If it adds to the program, I can't 

complain," said Mailers. As to the legality of 

requiring the double bill, he said he has "long 

since given up" fighting the distributors over 

most controversies. 

Malcolm Green, vice president of the 

Boston -based Theater Management Services, 

also zeroed in on the issue of running times. 

Saying he has been in the business a long time, 

he remarked. "In general, I feel badly there 

aren't more shorts as there always were. In 

programming, there are fewer shorts because 

features are made too long, shutting out the 

chance for reasonable show times." 

Green did not know if his company, which 

operates about 75 screens (mostly in the Nor 

theastl. has booked the UA/Lorimar release. 

He was also unaware that the Short Film 

Showcase offering was included, but he said 

he favored the move to recognize independent 

filmmakers. He added if the program means 

"diversified entertainment, that's swell." 

Opening gross for 'Dracula' 

brings Universal $3.1 million 

Universal's "Dracula." starring Frank 

Langella and Laurence Olivier, has grossed 

$3,141,381 in the first three days of its release 

throughout the United States and Canada. 

The figure includes the biggest opening day 

($25,342) in the history of the Ziegfeld 

Theatre in New York. The film opened in 500 

theatres, and 455 are currently reporting. 

In New York, at 64 blue ribbon showcase 

theatres, including the Ziegfeld, the film gross

sohoff Productions, which has an exclusive 

releasing contract with Columbia Pictures, 

took the stand. 

Ransohoff. producer of this summer's hor 

ror/mysiery release "Nightwing." expressed 

concerns that producers wanted to know their 

films would be marketed in an orderly 

fashion. He said the prohibition against blind 

bidding could impair releasing schedules. 

Expressing fears that the law designed to 

also curtail mandatory guarantees and ad 

vances might jeopardize film financing. Ran 

sohoff said under cross-examination that the 

removal of tax (shelter) advantages created a 

similar effect as far as financing was concern 

ed. 

Following Ransohoff. Charles Good, who is 

in charge of distribution for Buena Vista, took 

the stand. 

Although similarly noting that blind bid 

ding assures marketability order. Good said 

that in the case of the Walt Disney distribu 

lion arm. Buena Vista, selection of theatres 

that will draw the family audiences Ithose 

located in shopping centers, malls, or other 

places where children can be easily dropped 

off while parents shopl is assured through ad 

vance licensing. 

But he said that Buena Vista maintained a 

nationwide policy of open bidding even before 

enactment of the Ohio statute. An exhibitor or 

his agent may inspect all bids at BV's Burbank 

home office, he said. 

Thus, their unique open bidding 

policy—considered a model for the in 

dustry— places them in virtual compliance 

with the bid examination requirements of the 

Ohio law. (Editor's Note: Specifically, the 

Ohio legislation requires that bids be opened at 

the same time in the presence of at least one of 

the exhibitors who bid and that those bidding 

may within 60 days inspect the other bids. 

Bids are opened and inspections are made at 

the branch office of the distributor! 

Good also said that the policy had removed 

the atmosphere of distrust and suspicion often 

enhanced by blind bidding tactics. 

Ray B. While, the defense's first witness, 

went on the stand July 18 20. While is presi 

dent of Mid Stales Theatres, which has 90 

screens throughout Ohio. Kentucky and In 

diana. 

While said that he was able to belter assess 

a film's commercial value and formulate a 

more accurate bid if permitted the opportunity 

lo view ihe film before licensing.

SUIT 

(continued from page I) 

Kerkonan has withdrawn his defense that 

his Columbia acquisitions were "solely for in 

vestment purposes." His attorneys argue that 

his holdings in MGM and Columbia fall con 

siderably short of constituting a monopoly, or 

restriction of competition, in the business of 

producing motion pictures. 

The Justice Department noled that 

Kerkonan's 25 percent holdings in Columbia 

represent a figure greater than the combined 

holdings of ihe film company's officers and 

directors. 

The defense has mustered a long list of pro 

speciive witnesses to testify on behalf of

the 70s, thus alleged!) indicating his cum 

pany's ability to thrive despite the blind bid 

ding guarantee and advance policies. 

However, it should be mentioned that one 

of ihe theories advanced h> the distributors is 

that b> having a large number of screens and 

pictures, losers can be offset by winners and 

show a generous return on investments. 

DURING THE PRECEDING three weeks 

of testimony the plantiffs repeatedly presented 

evidence and testimony thai moviemaking 

was a high risk business dependent upon peak 

attendance periods, mass media and 

timeliness 

Primarily espoused as one of the major 

reasons for dissolution of the Ohio statute is 

(he (radescreening clause, which film 

distributors say results in licensing delays. 

For instance. Peler S. Myers, vice president 

of domestic distribution for 20th Century 

Fox. said that a marketing plan was developed 

al approximately the same lime as the prin 

cipal photography began. Myers said that oc 

curred a year in advance of release because of 

"the difficulty in tying up the important 

theatres and because of the difficulty of the 

competition for television time " 

BECAUSE, DUE to unavoidable produc 

tion delays, a film may be completed very 

close to its national release date and because 

licensing procedures take a minimum of four 

lo six weeks, the distributors say blind bidding 

is 

essential. 

Delays brought about by the necessity of a 

tradescreening would, the plantiffs say. pre 

vent Ohio exhibitors from benefitting from the 

national 

advertising campaign and publicity 

coverage, deprive the distributor of an earlier 

return on his production investment, and 

allow another production of similar theme to 

reach the marketplace first because of the 

delay. 

On the other hand, the stale's contentions 

are based on the desire of these independent 

businessmen lo exercise their own judgement 

of a film's quality and commerciality. 

GREG YOUNG, one of the trial attorneys 

representing the Ohio attorney general's office 

(ami trust sectionl. said. "It's a question of being 

afforded the opportunity to view it even 

though you yourself may not be able to 

predict with 100 percent accuracy that this 

film will be another "Star Wars' or this won't 

be. At least you make it or break it upon your 

own judgement, not upon what you have been 

told by a distributor whose interests aren't 

necessarily the same as yours, even though if 

one side is successful, they both are." 

include former MGM executives James D. Al 

jian. now with Tracinda. James T. Aubrey Jr 

now with Aubrey Productions, Leo Green

Among those witnesses the Justice Depart 

ment is expected to call upon are A. Alan 

Friedberg, president of the National Associa 

tion of Theatre Owners, which was in opposi

umbia stock. Bernard Myerson, president of 

Loews Theatres. T.G. Solomon, former presi

Open letter to Jack Valenti 

Dear Mr. Valenti: 

How about putting in a little 

more time selling the entertainment in the entertain 

ment industry Just a fraction of the time you use defending the antiquated system of 

blind bidding, and your ridiculous rating system would do fine. 

You have done a super job talking about the rating system, so super in fact that 

many of our customers are more interested in the rating than they are in the picture. If 

we must have a rating system, how about putting it where it belongs—on production 

HOW ABOUT GETTING some of the geniuses who make some of these master 

pieces to rate their efforts when they are being made Let them know that junk is junk 

and it cannot be sold by exhibition; just because they insert a bunch of four letter 

words and some skin, this does not replace entertainment. 

Put the policing where it belongs, on production, when a picture is made, not after 

wards. And if you expect exhibition to police the industry, don't you think we should 

be adequately represented on the board 

1 KNOW YOU FEEL that this is none of exhibition's business, that you get your 

salary from the producers. But don't forget that exhibition pays the distributors, and 

the public pays the exhibitors. 

So let's start doing a job for all of the motion picture industry. Jack, you once made a 

All of this effort is extended to industry "outsiders" in hopes that our problems will be 

solved. Once a verdict is reached in the courts, it is predominantly binding. 

OUR INDUSTRY INVITES governmental intervention. Many of today's problems 

need to go to court. And many do need binding enforcement. Others, however, 

would be better handled if our segmented industry had a facility for internal mediation. 

That facility can easily be located on two fronts: in the minds of each individual exhibitor 

and distributor and at the heads of their respective national organizations, 

NATO and the MPAA. 

Of course, not all problems can be handled by internal mediation, especially those involving 

the bottom line. Still, the industry should keep in mind that court decisions are 

binding, fixed and lasting, and are not as flexible as those "gentlemanly agreements" 

derived through mediation. 

THE MOTION PICTURE industry exists in an ever-changing environment. Peo 

pie change, demographics change and the methods and manners in which business is 

conducted change. 

Let's not lose our flexibility to change with the times by exclusively taking our problems 

to the courts. 

frankly speaking 

statement that you slept better because Lyndon Johnson was in the White House. I 

want to say that exhibition is not sleeping better these days because you are president 

of the the producers'organization. 

WE DESPERATELY NEED a healthy industry, an industry that is healthy in all 

segments, not just distribution. If you don't help the motion picture industry to unite, 

you might not have a job, and certainly we won't have a theatre.

Time in court hurts industry 

Antitrust suits, product -splitting litigation, petitions for exclusion from the consent 

decrees, anti-blind bidding legislation, bankruptcy court hearings and even a liability 

suit concerning a 4 '/2 -year-old script. These are just a few examples of the many courtrelated 

stories in the news. 

That the motion picture industry has long been a frequent user of the courtroom as a 

problem solver is nothing new. Who can forget the consent decree courtroom battles in 

the late'40s and early '50s, and the numerous PTA vs. porn battles raging in the early 

'60s 

TODAY'S COURTROOM activity, however, is a sad indication of our industry's 

segmentation. Distributors charge exhibitors, exhibitors charge distributors and even 

exhibitors charge exhibitors. Under the antiseptic formality of binding courtroom decisions 

lurks an evil monster. That monster is "governmental intervention." 

This industry is spending huge amounts of money and wasting thousands of 

valuable man hours charging, briefing, petitioning, submitting, educating and proving. 

In your July 2 issue of BOXOFFICE you had 

a headline "No more screen ads in New 

Jersey." 

1 wish to inform you that the headline and 

the story were both premature and inaccurate. 

The bill did pass the Senate, but has not passed 

the Assembly. In spite of the capitulation of 

NATO and the lobbyists, there are indepen 

dent theatre owners and advertisers who are 

fighting this measure. We firmly believe it is 

an unwarranted interference in private 

business and a serious violation of constitutional 

rights. 

If for no other reason than this, the in 

dustry, as a group, should have opposed this 

legislation. Once more it shows how indecisive 

the motion picture exhibitors can be. 

Editor's note: New Jersey Senate President 

Joseph Merlin, who introduced the legislation, has 

withdrawn the bill (BOXOFFICE, July 16).

It lakes me while to catch on. You now 

have R rated movies elibigle for the Blue Rib 

bon Award Ihence the blue, hey, hey}. Al least 

you're consistent, because "family" appears 

nowhere on the ballot. So now you're jusl like 

the rest of the awards. Congratulations. I 

guess it's no good to be different, right 

I've been a faithful voter of the awards for 

13 years and have never favored picking up 

my marbles and leaving the action. But if 

"Alien" pops up this month, you can bet your 

sweet "R" that a 'Texas Chain Saw 

Massacre" type will pop up later, and so on 

and so on. 

While it is true that "Manhattan" was an 

exception, most R rated movies are rated thai 

way for good reasons. So while you're coun 

ting, count me out.

CALGARY 

Included in the list of films to be shown 

during July by the National Film Theatre in 

Zeidler Hall will be "Mourir A Tue Teie/A 

Scream For Silence" (Canada, 1979); 

"Fillmore" (USA. 1972); 'The Rowdyman" 

(Canada, 1972); "Janis" (Canada, 1974); 

"Outrageous" (Canada, 1977); "Interiors" 

(USA, 1978); "Alex and The Gypsy" (USA, 

1976); "McCabe and Mrs. Miller" (USA. 

1971); "That'll Be The Day" (Great Britain, 

19741; and "The Red Dress" and 

"Dreamspeaker," both made in Canada. 

John Povill, associate producer of "Star 

Trek," was in Edmonton recently to address a 

workshop sponsored by the Television and 

Film Institute at the University of Alberta. 

Povill had good news for city "trekkies": he 

announced that the long awaited "Star Trek" 

movie should be on local screens during the 

Christmas season. Except for some minor 

shooting scheduled for next month, the film is 

complete. The filming to be done involves 

some special effects for one sequence that the 

producers were not satisfied with the first time 

around. Povill was also story consultant for 

the new movie, but because he has seen only 

the footage that has been shot to date without 

many of the special effects, he said it was not 

possible to assess it properly. Povill is working 

on another science fiction film, which is a 

comedy, and he hopes to produce it with 

Ronald Shusett as executive producer. 

Although the project is in its very early stages, 

he says it will include some new special effects. 

Imagination is the only limitation in film production, 

according to Povill, and he said that 

people were tired of repetition and commercial 

interruptions as offered on television and will 

turn to theatrical presentations. He thinks that 

repetition in films would be produced as long 

as there was a profitable market for them. 

Cinematheque 16 in Edmonton is 

now closed 

for the summer months and will reopen for 

the fall season on Aug. 31.

Stanley Kramer to attend festival 

MONTREAL— Stanley Kramer, one of the 

most distinguished director producers of 

American films, will attend The World Film 

Festival— Montreal 1979, to be held here 

Aug. 30 Sept. 9. 

His new film. "The Runner Stumbles," star 

ring Dick Van Dyke and Kathleen Quinlan. 

will be among the 20 entries in the official 

competition, it was announced by the festival. 

A tribute will be made to another outstan 

ding filmmaker attending the festival with his 

latest work, Chuck Jones, whose global 

reputation was established by the animated 

films he created for Warner Bros. His latest, 

"The Great American Chase," is a nostalgic 

compilation of sequences from 30 of his films 

featuring his most popular characters such as 

Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Road Runner, 

Elmer Fudd and Porky Pig. 

Along with Kramer's film, four other en 

tries to the official competition have also been 

announced: "Vengeance is Mine," directed by 

Japanese Shohei Imammura; "Keiko," 

directed by Quebecer Claude Gagnon, who 

CHICAGO 

As the time for opening "Breaking Away" 

draws closer, the enthusiasm for this new 20th 

Century-Fox film is growing. The somewhat 

tepid response which caused some concern 

several weeks ago is being superceded by 

favorable reaction among exhibitors and the 

press after a series of screenings. 

During the past weekend some of the prin 

cipals were in town for interviews. Included in 

the group were Peter Yates, director; Dennis 

Christopher, who has the leading role; Paul 

Dooley, who plays the father; and Dan Stern, 

an off-Broadway actor who appears in his first 

movie role in "Breaking Away." Yates was 

especially pleased to read some very favorable 

reviews during his visit here. 

The film, produced with a budget of $2.5 

million in Bloomington, Ind., last summer, is 

also getting a lot of support from the Universi 

ty of Indiana people. The University alumni 

supported several screenings, and letters aler 

ting alumni to the movie have been circulated 

on a nationwide basis. 

A report from the National Association of 

Concessionaires' headquarters in Chicago 

notes that more than 80 percent of the exhibit 

space for the 1979 Motion Picture Theatre 

Equipment and Concession Industries Trade 

Show has already been reserved. Called the 

1979 Supershow, it will be held October 

30-November 1 at the Los Angeles Bonaven 

ture Hotel. N.A.C., the National Association 

of Theatre Owners and the Theatre Equipment 

Association are co-sponsors. 

Chicago is to be the locale for "My Body 

Guard." Tony Bill, who starts shooting in a 

week or two. is using Chicago talent for a big 

part of the cast. 

has been living in Japan for the past 10 years. 

"Pays Portatil" (Portable Country) by Ivan 

Feo and Antonio Llerandi of Venezuela, and 

"Delivrez nous du mal" (Deliver Us From 

Evil) by Pal Sandor of Hungary. 

In addition, the festival announced the first 

four of 10 films to be shown in the Latin 

America section. They are: "Queridos Com 

paneros," a Chile Venezuela production 

directed by Pablo de la Barra, "Columbia Connection" 

by Gustavo Nieto Roa of Columbia; 

"Los Sobrevivientes" by Tomas Gutierrez 

Alea of Cuba; and "Amor Bandido," by 

Brazilian Bruno Barreto. 

Stanley Kramer's film is an adaptation of 

Milan Stitt's play, which appeared on Broadway, 

and is an incident that took place in 

Washington in 1926. A priest, played by Dick 

Van Dyke, falls in love with a nun, Kathleen 

Quinlan (of "I Never Promised You a Rose 

Garden" fame), only to be accused later of 

murdering her. Other Kramer productions in 

elude such film classics as "Ship of Fools " 

and "High Noon." 

"La Cage Aux Folles" (Birds of a Feather) 

is set for a first exclusive showing at the Brot 

man Near North Carnegie. 

The Dohlberg Theatre Circuit has, like

Since Chicago Pix Booking Service recently 

relocated its headquarters to the Tri State 

Towers at 9575 W. Higgins Rd., Rosemont, 

III., there are some personnel changes. Anna 

Rotandi, known as the C.P.B.S. Girl Friday, 

will be leaving August 25 to go into produc 

tion work with her husband, John Tiberi. 

Welcomed to the staff were Kathy Spavone 

and Linda Johanns. 

Doug Hugelmaier, who handles advertising 

and publicity for American International in a 

seven state area, has been in the midst of some 

intensive promotion on behalf of "The 

Amityville Horror " He has set up a series of 

interviews for Rod Steiger and James Brolin, 

stars in the film, and also for the Warrens, two 

psychic researchers who were called in by 

ABC's Channel 5 news team to investigate the 

happenings faced by the Lutz family, occupants 

of the Amityville house for a time. 

Lew Altz, general manager of Chicago Pix 

Booking Service, became a grandfather for the 

fourth time. It's a grandson, Gabriel Craig, 

whose parents are Barbara and Craig Gordon 

of West Palm Beach, Florida. 

There is a very favorable feedback resulting 

from a tie in promotion arranged by Lee 

Philipson for Columbia's "Just You and Me, 

Kid." The primary segment of this promotion 

involves free vouchers given to patrons who 

visit theatres where the movie is being shown. 

The vouchers are honored by Big Boy 

Restaurants, a large food chain in the 

Midwest, with half price for a second meal 

Philipson has also been working on "The 

Villain" promotion. Activity for this film star 

ring Kirk Douglas and Ann-Margret will 

center in St. Louis, where Philipson will join 

director Hal Needham in talking about the 

movie. 

ST. LOUIS 

The world premiere of "Delirium," filmed 

entirely in St. Louis, began July 20 at 

Ellisville, Halls Ferry, Ronnie's, Hi Pointe, 

Avalon, Stadium 2, St. Ann, St. Andrews, 144 

South Twin and Rock Road drive-ins. A 

special premiere benefit performance was held 

July 19 at St. Ann Cine and proceeds will go 

to the Detective Sergeant Jay G. Noser Fund. 

Noser of the Florissant Valley Police Depart 

ment was critically wounded in an attempt to 

stop a bank robbery. 

The plot of the $200,000 production con 

cerns a police investigation of a brutal murder 

which uncovers not only a psychotic killer but 

a group of vigilantes composed of St. Louis 

businessmen. The businessmen take the law 

into their own hands to punish and even ex 

ecute criminals who often escape imprison 

ment through loopholes in legal procedures 

As Peter Maris, producer, expresses it, "The 

story tries to bring attention to irresponsible 

people who take innocent lives and get off 

scot-free." 

The film was made with the cooperation of 

the St. Louis Police Department and Police 

Chief Eugene J. Camp appears in the film Joe 

Pollack, staff member of the Post Dispatch 

and film critic for both the press and televi 

sion, has the role of a reporter. Dorothy Krell 

of University City is perhaps the oldest per 

former of the local talent, making her film 

debut at age 82. Her son, Edward Krell, was 

the screenwriter for the World-Wide Production. 

Co producer with Maris is Sunny West. 

Maris was also director Stars include Turk 

Cekovsky, Debi Chaney, Terry Tenbroek and 

Nick Panouzis as "Charlie." 

"The Amityville Horror," based on the best 

seller by Jay Anson, opened July 27 exclusive 

ly at Wehrenberg Theatres' Cinema 4. Halls 

Ferry, Ronnie's 6. Des Peres 4 and Stadium I 

Burt Reynolds is contributing to a sizzling 

summer in "Hooper" in wide multiple release. 

The comedy action drama, also co produced 

by Reynolds, stars Jan Michael Vincent, Sally 

Field, Robert Klein and Brian Keith. 

"Dracula," a new Universal release, appears 

to be heading for a top spot among the 

films being shown during summer 1979. Dur 

ing the first opening days, patrons leaving the 

theatre after viewing "Dracula" seem to like it 

and called it "very entertaining ." 

In a variety of remarks about the film, a 

Chicago Tribune movie critic says, "I'm reluc 

tantly giving the film a three-star rating 

because Langella's performance is worth see 

ing. But a word to shock film fans. This 

'Dracula' is more romantic than shocking. 

Don't go if you hope to be zapped in your seal. 

This picture isn't that frightening." 

Michael J. Kutza Jr., founder and director 

of the Chicago International Film Festival 

and its affiliate Cinema/Chicago, advises that 

"Games," a contemporary dance film from 

Poland, and "Ruth Page, An American 

Original," which is a documentary by director 

David Hahn, won the Gold Hugo iGrand 

Prix) at the Dance Film Festival, part of a re 

cent series at the Village Theatre. 

There are some exhibitors who appear to be 

interested in what "Goldengirl" is all about. 

This new Avco Embassy movie is about activi 

ty in the sports world. Susan Anton, the star, 

is a young athlete who goes to Moscow in 

1 980 to win gold medals in the 100, 200 and 

400 meter track events. Backed by a consor 

tium of money men who see a triple gold 

medal winner as a $20 million endorsement 

jackpot, the sprinter is seen going through a 

punishing kind of physical and psychological 

programming, including hormone injections 

and electric shock training. "Goldengirl" is 

rated PC. 

Lindy Holmes has joined Columbia Pictures 

as secretary to Les Philipson who heads up the 

company's publicity activity in the Midwest 

territory. 

"Patrick," Cinema Shares' contribution to 

the horror-suspense genre, begins a wide 

multiple Aug. I. Robert Thompson is cast as 

the telekinetic young killer, who, while lying 

in a hospital bed in a coma, still has powers to 

horrify and create a wave of terror. 

Martha Baker awarded four stars to "Just 

You and Me. Kid" in her Globe-Democrat 

review of the film on view at Shady Oak, 

Cinema 4 and Ronnie's. She calls star George 

Burns "a real professional, a comic who knows 

timing the way some people know their 

tailor." Of Brooke Shields. Burns' co-star, she 

states: "She acts with uneasiness, never seem 

ing to find the boundaries of the character of 

the troubled adolescent." 

Exhibitors upset 

over cooling law 

CHICAGO— Industry reaction to Presi 

dent Jimmy Carter's energy speech is, as might 

be expected, mixed. There was no specific enthusiastic 

response and about the only com 

ment concerned the president's intent to enforce 

temperature control. 

Generally, exhibitors are concerned with 

costs and they favor controlling air condition 

ing from an economic standpoint. Most ex 

hibitors were positive about holding 

temperatures to a degree that will not keep 

business away. Some exhibitors indicated they 

would "try to get along" but if eventually the 

comfort of patrons is a consideration, that 

comes first. 

Harold Klein, Plitt Theatres Inc. vice presi 

dent, expressed the opinion that imposed 

regulations on temperatures "will 

kill business." Plitt owns 60 theatres in the 

Chicago area. He said, "People can't enjoy a 

movie while their clothes are soaking wet." 

Oscar Brotman, head of the Brotman 

Theatre Circuit, said the setting of controls 

would depend on such factors as the relative 

temperature outside and on the size of the 

crowd in the theatre. 


Muppets set Minneapolis records 

MINNEAPOLIS-The Muppet Movie" 

in its first week at the Skyway II Theatre here 

(June 29-July 5) set two records. One was for 

the largest gross to date in the Skyway II, part 

of the Plitt North Central Theatres Inc. cir 

cuit. The second was for the largest atten 

dance in any of the Skyway I, II or III 

theatres. 

"The Muppet Movie" posted a whopping 

gross of $46,064, which surpasses the previous 

record of $43,951 set by "National Lampoon's 

Animal House," in its second week (Aug. 

11-17, 1978). Prior to "Animal House," the 

house record was held by 'The Enforcer" 

(Dec. 22-28, 19761 with $42,031 in its first 

week, which, of course, included the key 

Christmas period. 

"The Muppet Movie" also set a record for 

the largest oneweek attendance at the 

Skyway I, II or III theatres. It exceeded the 

complex's previous high posted by "Alien," 

which played in Skyway I May 25-31, by 

3,747 admission.

Arson of Gem Theatre 

blamed on local police 

ST. JOHN. Mo—Two St. John policemen 

and a former sergeant have been arrested in 

connection with a fire that caused SI 00.000 

damage to Harman Moseley's Gem Theatre, 

formerly the St John's Theatre, on April 30 

Charged with arson and burglary in war 

rants issued July 1 3 were patrolmen Randall 

Plaggenburg and Perry Myers, and Michael 

Dunn, a former sergeant who had resigned 

from the department in May 

In the months preceding the fire. Moseley 

had accused local police of "incontrovertible 

acts of unwarranted harrassment" of his 

teenage patrons. Police had accused the 

youngsters of loitering, drinking beer and 

smoking marijuana on the premises, and had 

threatened to jail teenagers if they were found 

in ihc Gem I 'heatre. despite, adds Mosely. an 

absence Of X raied films. 

Moseley and his wife held two formal 

meeiings with officials of the City of St. John 

and sought help through the American Civil 

Liberties Union, the FBI and the U.S. Justice 

Department, but none was offered. 

The blame for the fire was placed at first on 

a popcorn machine that had supposedly been 

left on all night Moseley immediately accused 

St. John police of having set the fire, but in 

vestigators continued to blame the popcorn 

machine. 

The investigators' attitudes were changed, 

however, when Moseley turned over to police 

a letter that a local woman had sent to the 

theatre The woman, who offered Moseley 

moral support, was grateful to the theatre 

owner and his wife because they had once 

returned a wallet lost in the theatre with S23 

LINCOLN 

The Cinema 1 & 2 seem to be in a neck 

biting syndrome this summer, as "Nightwing" 

closes July 12. and the "bloody good" 

"Dracula" opened on Friday the 13th, the 

next day. On the sister screen of the duo 

The Plaza 4 theatres has a crowd drawer 

with "The Inlaws" at the Plaza 1. Word of 

mouth must be circulating, because the film 

keeps drawing larger and larger audiences. 

"Bloodline" is doing only fair, while "The Ap 

pie Dumpling Gang Rides Again" is doing 

tremendous business for the theatre complex. 

The disappointing "Butch and Sundance: the 

Early Days" left July 1 2 and is being followed 

by "CHOMPS." 

At the C uiiper Lincoln. 007 and 

"Moonraker" combined to produce a bang-up 

Fourth of July week. The James Bond film is 

staying until early August when it will be 

replaced by "Just You and Me. Kid." which 

management is hoping will be another "Oh. 

God!" 

Wednesday and Thursday matinees at the 

Cooper/Lincoln are special "Kiddie Shows" 

which produce long popcorn lines and lots of 

empty candy boxes. 

The Cinema 1 & 2 has just hired Len 

Vyhlidal as its new assistant manager. He is 

scheduled to start Sunday, July 1 5. The Plaza 

4 is still continuing its search for a new 

manager for the quadplex. 

"Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Celebration" 

opened July 13 at the Stuart for two 

weeks, and was followed by "The Muppet 

Movie" July 27. A special premiere on July 26 

and promotion for the film were in the works 

still inside. 

Her letter also mentioned a rumor that said 

a policeman directing traffic at the scene of 

the fire told another policeman they had "gone 

too far" in selling the blaze. 

The investigation was redirected, and 

because Dunn and Plaggenburg were the only 

two policemen at the scene of the fire, they 

were immediately suspected. 

Dunn at once admitted everything and tokl 

investigators that he had also set his own car 

on fire two days before the theatre fire to col 

leel insurance money. 

He said that on the night of the fire, he and 

Plaggenburg, who were on duty, and Myers, 

who was off

Catherine Chapin, movie critic for the 

Charlotte Observer, had this to say about 

"Meatballs": "Some critics will gripe because 

'Meatballs' doesn't represent real camp life. 

They'll bluster at idiotic behavior by 

counselors who would rather win at the 

camp's social mixer than at intercamp sports. 

But let's all loosen our hard handed grip on the 

critical pen and enjoy. The mass chaos of 

'Meatballs' is an enjoyable mix of "Saturday 

Night Live's' TV humor and 'M*A*S*H's" 

loudspeaker irreverence. It steals shamelessly 

from both, down to "Saturday Night's' prime 

time player, Bill Murray. But if you like 

lowbrow yuks, this is your movie."

Eric Gerber, in the Houston Post, wrote, 

"not to damn with faint praise, but 'A Little 

Romance' is a pleasant little film, one the 

work 'charming' seems coined for. It is, if you 

can imagine, what might happen if Disney 

Studios and Francois Truffaut collaborated " 

Gerber wrote that "The Villain," "to get right 

down to it, is a Chuck Jones 'Road Runner' 

cartoon moved to the Old West and executed 

with real (well, flesh and blood anyway) people. 

Now. the easy thing, the practical thing 

here is to lie and say I didn't laugh at all and 

simply write 'The Villain' off as 'Blazing Sad 

dies' for mouth breathers. But that's not exactly 

true. I laughed here and there, amidst much 

groaning and seat shifting. Shucks, I guess I 

even breathed through my mouth once in a 

while, though I definitely reached my satura

JACKSONVILLE 


Tom Chitwood, film buyer for Henn 

Theatres, was in Jacksonville this week calling 

on film distributors. Also in town from Atlan 

ta was Wayne Chappell calling on customers 

in the Jacksonville territory. 

AMC film buyer Dick Vollberg went to 

Atlanta during the week of July 16 to call on 

customers and visit the AMC Atlanta office. 

Willie Tan and his father were in Jackson 

ville July 19 from Hong Kong, calling on their 

business associates Harry and Belton Clark of 

Clark Films. The Tans represent L and T 

Films of Hong Kong, producers of kung fu 

films distributed by Clark Films. 

The WOMPls assisted with a dance for 

handicapped teenagers on July 19 at the 

Woodstock Community Center. The Jackson 

ville WOMPls are busily preparing for their 

club's 26th International Convention to be 

hekl here at the Hilton Hotel in September. 

Cinema's Cross County 8 is featuring a 

"Hollywood Comes to Cross County Mall" 

costume contest in which people are asked to 

dress as their favorite actor or actress. First 

prize is a trip for two to Hollywood, Calif. Ad 

ditional prizes will be gift certificates from the 

new mall shops. 

Dick Westerling, Cross County 8 manager, 

said another contest is planned for July 27. A 

coloring contest for youngsters in three age 

groups will offer a $25 game or toy as grand 

prize in each category and theatre passes for 

runners-up. The flyers for coloring are being 

distributed. Westerling said there has been, 

and will be, a Disney motion picture showing 

at one of Cross County 8's auditoriums for the 

entire summer. 

United Artists Theatres introduced a new 

policy in the area. Early bird admission 

specials of $1.50 are good every day until 6 

p.m., with the exception of Sunday and 

holidays, at which time 2:30 p.m. is the 

deadline. Golden Agers, 60 and over, are ad 

mitted for $2.00 after 6 p.m., except on Sun 

days and holidays. 

practical jokes to run in competition with 

Murray's off the wall dialogue. Some of the 

jokes—spoken and practical— fall short, but 

then there's always another not far behind 

that's likely to be a winner." 

Bob Polunsky, in his reviews in the San An 

tonio Light, said that "Dracula" comes to 

town and "the bloody gentleman has never 

been so romantically charming as he is in the 

person of Frank Langella. He makes the 

character different from the legendary Bela 

Lugosi type. It's not that kids should stay 

home, but they may not fully understand the 

implications this time around." Polunsky said 

that it would be "un American to criticize 

'The Muppet Movie.' It's a film with 

something for everyone. But it's unlikely to 

have a sequel. The Muppet characters can on 

ly do so much, and they do it all in their first 

feature length film." He wrote that "Lost and 

Found" "is an example of an old fashioned 

idea that doesn't work anymore. The per 

formers and the audience are past this stage of 

comedy entertainment. Comedies without 

substance don't come off like they did in the 

1930s." 

NEW ORLEANS 

The weekend amusement sections featured 

large ads for new titles on the marquees for 

last week: "Just You and Me, Kid," "Meat 

balls," exclusive engagement of "A Little 

Romance" at the Lakeside, "Dracula" and 

"The Hitter." 

"Bloopers, Pari Two" has been held over 

for a third week at the Plitt Theatre. 

Richard Dodds, movie critic for the Times- 

Picayune, writes, "If you blinked, you pro 

bably missed 'Players.' The tennis themed 

soap opera proved to be that rare breed of ma 

jor release to play but a week. But at this point 

in the film's life, little faith probably remained 

in the hearts of Paramount Pictures for its 

creation. The critical drubbing suffered by 

'Players' certainly rivals 'Moment by 

Moment's' sorry reception. 'Players' isn't the 

inept fiasco as some would have it, but it is 

consistently mediocre."

American International held a tradescreening 

of "The Amityville Horror" on July 17 in 

the AMC screening room. On July 19 AI 

screened "10" in the Plitt screening room. Fox 

held three tradescreenings of "Breaking

After almost 56 years, Irwin W. Speckles 

has closed the Cozy Theatre in Schulenberg. 

Mr. and Mrs. Speckles are both in their late 

70s and felt the time had come that the many 

problems of the industry would force them to 

give it up. They will be greatly missed and we 

wish them well in their retirement. 

Because of the bad health of his wife, 

veteran film salesman W. J. "Dutch" Cammer, 

decided to leave Dallas. He has moved to Tucson, 

Ariz. 

Bob Davis, branch manager of AFD, 

reports they are busy working on 'Treasures

October, followed by "Arabian Adventure," 

which will break in this area on November 16.

According to Steve Wiener, Plitt area super 

visor, although the "Summertime Morning 

Fun Shows" are doing satisfactorily, they are 

being hurt by the gasoline shortage. Dropping 

children at the theatre and calling for them 

after the showing involves a four-time trip and 

many mothers, unless they have shopping in 

the nearby area, will not make the trip. 

Wiener, however, is happy to note that the gas 

shortage has affected evening admission 

favorably. "People seem to be patronizing 

their neighborhood theatre more than ever," 

he said. 

Robert Brugger, Budco district supervisor, 

reports a great deal of Hollywood-style 

glamour is taking place at the Palm-Aire 

Cinema, Pompano. Several recent interior

wife, son, stepson, sister, brother and five

Eloy Centeno, owner of the Cine Mexico I

Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays when ad 

mission from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. is $1 for adults 

and 50 cents for children. The policy is also in 

effect on Saturday and Sunday from 1 1 a.m. 

to noon. 

Don Huff in his Herald column, 

Weeksworth, said that "Nightwing" "is 

another nasty progression of summer horror 

fright films. This time vampire bats are the 

bete noir. In a lumpy blend of the old and new, 

nothing is truly settled except that an 

oilfield—a point of contention for white man's 

avarice and red man's superstitions— is incinerated, 

ruining the plot, leaving everything 

more or less up in smoke." Huff, in his review 

of "Bloodline," said it was "a best -selling pulp 

boiler turned into a film of equal mentality 

though larger pretentions. An international jet 

set family of world industry gets caught up in 

a gothic mystery of succession after the presi 

dent of their 'homey' company is murdered It 

turns out that nearly everyone in the near or 

immediate family had the motive and equally 

lacks an alibi." 

The Alameda Theatre, one of the city's 

Spanish language theatres, presented a special 

stage show featuring a group from across the 

border, including Chespirito, El Chapulin, 

Colorado, El Chavo and Florinda Meza. The 

theatre is operated by Texas National 

Theatres, which operates theatres in San An

featuring Spanish language films. 

Among the new film titles are The

Walt Disney's ( hnstmas entry in the 

science fiction sweepstakes— "The Black 

Hole"—was represented by a tantalizing one 

minute trailer before a recent press screening 

of "Unidentified Flying Oddball ." 

While a baritone voiceover gravely an 

nounces "the journey begins where even thing 

ends," the blackness of space backgrounds a 

constantly moving computer grid pattern that 

gradually becomes an ominous vortex. 

The trailer also gave the credits, which in

WASHINGTON 

"We'll keep our movies, sure," slated a 

Washington Post editorial on the energy con 

servalion war titled "Culture Without 

Wheels." However, filmmakers may have to 

learn to "cut back," the editor wrote, on 

"helter skelter automobile chase sequences, 

such as those made famous in The French 

Connection' and 'Bullitt ' 

There will be losses. 

But there may be gains as well. Deprived of 

cars and garages and the open road, script 

writers may turn to new forms of energy, like 

the rest of the country, and invent characters 

who can actually live outside their cars, and 

talk to each other, and even think without a 

lift."

by Joseph Friedman, executive director of 

ihe New Jersey Motion Picture and Television 

Commission. Frank Capra Jr. will produce the 

original screenplay by Daniels, and Steve- 

Carver will direct Gary Victor Dubin will 

serve as associate producer. 

Budgeted at S5 million. "Wigwam on 42nd 

Street" is set in 1 650 when Peter Sluy vesani 

arrives in the New World attempting to buy

own district neighborhoods. Director Carver's 

credits include "Capone" and "Steel." 

I he efforts of a community group for a year 

and a half to save the Midway Theatre, once a 

flagship of the Stanley Warner Theatres 

chain, failed as demolition of the 46 year old 

landmark in the Kensingtin section of the city 

got under way. KAN. a coalition of civic, 

business and church groups, tried to get the ci 

ty 

to buy the 2.724 seat theatre and convert it 

into a community center and a small theatre 

When lhat effort failed, the group appealed to 

the city zoning board and later to the courts in 

an unsuccessful attempt to hall plans for a 

Burger King restaurant. The fast food 

restaurant will be built on the site after the 

theatre's demolition. 

The Midway Theatre first opened on 

Christmas Eve. 1 932. with the showing of a 

Joe E. Brown comedy. "You Said a 

Mouthful." and it played films on a first run 

neighborhood basis. A lack of upkeep and the 

expense of heating and cooling the huge 

theatre led to us closing in October 1 977.

The Third Cleveland International Film 

Festival in May was quite successful in all 

ways except financial. It wrapped up at the 

Cedar Lee Theatre May 31, leaving Jon For 

man, its director, "a little bit in the hole " But 

Forman's spirits are ebullient, said Donna 

Chernin in an article in the Cleveland Plain 

Dealer. 

Forman was disappointed that the festival 

didn't do better at the boxoffice. However, he 

fell 

that they scored big points in terms of exposure. 

This year's festival included guests, 

film retrospectives, a music composer series 

and a children's series, as well as the premiere 

of foreign films. Forman notes that he received 

handwritten letters from Frank C'apra and 

Herbert Ross commending him on the quality 

of the festival. 

Of a total of 66 programs during May, the 

total attendance was 13,000 and the total 

revenue for all events was $43,000. The best 

attended programs were the foreign films. Approximately 

9,000 people attended the 

premiere foreign movies, and the live appearances 

and film tributes drew about 1.200. 

As for audience response, Forman notes 

that once again the International Tournee de 

Animation was the top-drawing selection. 

This has been the case for three years in a row. 

The best received foreign films were "Pardon 

Mon Affaire II." "Slevie" and "Wifemistress," 

which was brought back after the festival. Of 

all the festival's special guests. Frank Capra's 

visit drew the strongest and most favorable 

response. 

Lou Ratener, owner of the Fairlawn Drive 

In, adds his comments to the effects of the current 

gasoline shortage. Ratener said he 

thought families were concerned about taking 

moderately long trips and that the family 

could easily get in the car and drive to the 

nearby drive-in theatre for entertainment and 

relaxation. He is not only "holding his own," 

but Lou said that he has seen a little increase 

in the grosses. He said that he has seen 

families that haven't attended his theatre in 

years now returning. 

More chitchat from the exhibitors in the 

screening room was that the $ 1 .50 houses are 

luring the older generation back to the movies. 

These are people who have not been condi 

tioned to the $4 ticket, but will spend a smaller 

amount. If they like what they see, they may 

become steady patrons once again. 

Screenings this week included: "Rich Kids" 

from United Artists, "More American Graf 

fiti" from Universal, "10" from Warner Bros, 

and a critics screening of "Dracula" from 

Universal. 

Seen at the screening of "10" was Bob

spotlight on new england 

By ALLEN M. WIDEM 

Regional Correspondent 

The energy crunch, inflation or whatever 

may be dampening spirits in some quarters of 

the exhibition community across New 

England, but summer 1979 will be 

remembered for a strong show of ebullience by 

and small-town cinema owners 

both big-city 

and operators. 

Merrill G. Jams, president of the South 

Burlington-based Merrill Theatre Corp. a ma 

jor Vermont independent circuit, is not one to 

sidestep the use of meaningful words in daily 

advertising copy. Even with relatively simple 

matters of holdover attractions, Jarvis goes his 

competition one better by proclaiming "2nd 

Fantastic Week!" (United Artists' 

"Moonraker"). "3rd Smash Week!" (Warner 

Bros.' "The Main Event"!, "4th Smash Week!" 

(UA's "Rocky H"l. 

"Getting people enthused about our pro 

duct." Jarvis tells Boxoffk E, "is the prime in 

gredient in building and sustaining atten 

dance. If we lose our enthusiasm for what 

we're selling, we ignore the business building 

tools that gave exhibition the necessary boost 

in much leaner days." 

Leave it to Dave Brown to come up with 

something distinctive in ad copy for a reprise 

booking. Playing UA's "The Pink Panther 

Strikes Again" and "Revenge of the Pink Pan 

ther," the redoubtable Brown, who heads the 

Edmond' Town Hall Theatre, Newtown, 

Conn., advertised: "Pink Pink Panther Pan 

ther/Double Double Feature Feature/ 

•Revenge of the Pink Panther'/'The Pink Pan 

ther Strikes Again'/Come Early— Stay 

Late—See One or Both for Just One Dollar!" 

The Wellfleet Drive-In, on the 

Eastham/Wellfleet, Mass., town line, is 

modestly advertising its Sunday flea market as 

"Cape Cod's Biggest & Best." Antiques, arts 

and crafts are featured; sellers are charged $5, 

and buyers are admitted for $1 per car. The 

Chelmsford (Mass. I Twin underskyer, mark 

ing "Grand Opening" of a Sunday flea market 

policy, charged $2 per space for sellers and ad 

mitted the public free. Also in the Bay state:

carload. The Redstone Neponset and Revere 

drive-ins, with flea markets, too, are charging 

$8 per space for sellers. 

off to a flying start. After that rather thrilling 

opening, a free-fall wrestling match which is 

smartly photographed, 'Moonraker' floats 

steadily downward like a large balloon sprayed 

with two coats of lead paint." 

Jim Adams, in the Manchester (N.H.I 

Union Leader, was not completely impressed 

with Columbia's "Nightwing," saying. 

"Despite all the buildup from the PR people. 

'Nightwing' isn't the shocking and frightening 

film promised . don't get us wrong, 

it's not bad. but it's a long way from what it 

could have been " 

Michael Janusonis, reviewing the same at 

traction in the Providence Journal Bulletin: 

"The special effects range from pretty good to 

not so hot, and there is an especially grisly se 

quence in the middle of this PG-rated film in 

which the bats attack a campfire group. It 

could scare small children, although the teen 

agers in the audience. I fear, were rooting for 

the bats." 

Jim Doty, city manager in Rochester for 

Loews Theatre, lined up a massive radio pro 

motion on WMJ.Q for the regional premiere of 

Universal's "Dracula" at the Pittsford Triplex. 

During a five-day period, the radio station 

aired 55 30 second spots inviting listeners to 

call in for "vampire protection" kits (promoted 

by WMJQl and some guest tickets provided by 

Doty.

by gas shortage 

By AVERY MASON

BOSTON—Although all outdoor show

theatres and theatres in tourist areas around 

New England are deeply affected by the cur 

rent gasoline shortage, downtown and subur 

ban film theatres seem unaffected. Attendance 

is down by 50 percent in tourist are^s. A. Alan 

Friedberg. president of Sack Theatres, NATO 

and TONE, said that Sack Theatres, which 

has 40 screens throughout Massachusetts, is 

"probably benefitting from the gas shortage. 

We do not see any discernible effects of film

and that is probably because the typical

In Boston, the Mayor's Office of Cultural 

Affairs sees the gas crisis as a boost for 

downtown business, and especially the motion 

picture theatres. Downtown Boston film 

theatre managers think that the gas crisis is 

keeping people in the city and that the theatres 

are benefitting from increased weekend 

business, when patrons can take public 

transportation and not have to use their cars.

Ivan Reitman, co-producer of "National 

Lampoon's Animal House," stepped from that 

success into the directorial ranks and has now 

turned out "Meatballs," which might be dubbed 

a junior high school version of "Animal 

House." The boxoffice lure will be Reitman s 

relationship with "Animal House" and star 

Bill Murray's television exposure on "Satur 

day Night Live." 

After those promising credits, everything is 

slightly downhill in this effort to turn out an 

"Animal House" style comedy about children 

at a summer camp and the antics of their 

slightly older camp counselors. 

As head counselor, Murray turns in a low 

key performance that ranges from comic to 

philosophic. His one liners frequently hit 

home with wit and wisdom, but with very lit 

tie 

bite. 

After the kids arrive for the camping 

season, Murray befriends Chris Makepeace, a 

12 year-old misfit who is always on the verge 

of going home. Through Murray's subtle 

guidance, the child's confidence is built up and 

he learns to jog In the final athletic contest 

with a rival camp, he wins the big race—and 

his own self assurance. 

Murray achieves all this even while trying 

to make time with Kate Lynch, head female 

counselor who had held him off successfully 

last year, but succumbs by the end of the 

season. 

Just about everybody at the camp is supposed 

to be an inept, fumbling, bumbling comic 

character. Harvey Atkin, as the camp director, 

is the victim of a running gag in which kids 

and counselors take advantage of his heavy 

sleeping habits. Once they hoist him and his 

cot into a tree, where he continues sleeping as 

the children's parents arrive for Parents Day. 

At the film's end, they launch the sleeping 

Atkin out into the lake on a raft. Somehow, 

these episodes don't create hilarity. They start 

out funny and then peter out.

Just as the lovely female victims are drawn 

to Dracula's will, any moviegoer who has had 

even the slightest interest in the adventures of 

the Transylvanian count will be attracted lo 

this impressive new version produced by 

veteran Walter Minsch. The biggest asset is 

Frank Langella, who brings to the screen a 

good dose of the dignified eroticism thai mark 

ed his acclaimed Broadway performance. And 

from now on, this classically trained, expert 

actor will give any decent film a big boost. 

Working hand in hand with the script by 

WD. Richter (who penned "Invasion of the 

Body Snatchers"), Langella strides a gripping 

balance between a witty, charismatic 

nobleman who says he "never 

drinks 

. 

and a scary, undead vampire 

prone to acts of wild-eyed violence. 

The R rating stems not from a shedding of 

caped tuxedo or nightgown, but from the 

ways some victims die: several throats are ripped 

out and insect-eater Tony Haygarth gets 

his neck broken at Langella's hands 

Costuming and set decoration spare nothing 

in the way of Victorian detail. Dracula's 

crumbling Carfax Atbey (actually a castle in 

Cornwall, England) is a splendid hangout for 

the count with its rats, spider webs and 

ominous looking stonework. Composer John

too late to save his daughter but in time to

falls in love with Langella with little

Night Fever") adds a blood-red, otherworldly 

laser effect to the Nelligan Langella 

love scene. (Other special effects, which are 

credible, include Langella's transformation in 

to a bat and a wolf.) 

The stunning conclusion takes place on the 

ship in which Langella and Nelligan escape to 

Rumania. Just as Olivier is about to drive a 

stake through the sleeping count's heart, 

Langella awakens and skewers Olivier to the 

inside of the ship. 

With his last breath, Olivier shoves a huge

When George Burns and Brooke Shields 

were chosen for the roles of Bill and Kate in 

"Just You and Me, Kid," the filmmakers no 

doubt saw the possibility of a great teamup—the 

classic, always in tune Burns 

sprouting one-liners to one of Hollywood's 

youngest and most beautiful actresses, Brooke 

looking pretty darned cute in the process. 

Perhaps it's not the ageless vaudevillian's in 

credible acting, but rather his simple and 

funny as-ever style of just being himself that's 

such a delight to watch and laugh with. The 

same style that has worked for so many years 

still does. It's a good thing that style is still 

powerful, because "Just You and Me, Kid" 

would really have been lost without it. 

The plot concerns a young runaway 

(Shields) who turns up one day in the trunk of 

Bums' car. She hides out from a dope pusher 

at Burns' fancy mansion, much to the surprise 

of an assortment of neighbors and friends. 

Burns essentially plays himself, an old 

vaudevillian who revels in telling stories of his 

experiences to Shields. There are many 

chances for laughs here. 

The comic crack-up which Burns brings to 

the picture might have been buried if it 

Shields could be turning into one of those 

lovely-to-look at but-can't-act-too-well 

weren't for this actor's natural, 101 percent effort. 

The picture, which primarily serves as a 

showcase for Burns, delivers way below its 

potential. Producers Irving Fein and Jerome 

M. Zeitman no doubt share equal blame with 

director Leonard Stern for the mostly 

mediocre effect, but maybe they expected too 

much from co-star Brooke Shields. 

actresses, 

if this is an example of the best she has 

to offer. Maybe she is still too young and inexperienced. 

In this effort, she is as gorgeous as ever but 

her acting seems to have been whittled down 

to a few coy smiles and innocent stares. 

Perhaps director Stern told Brooke to 

downplay her acting so Burns could he 

Shields. 

There are definite possibilities there, and 

Burns makes the most of every line, seeming 

to savor every second he has on the screen and 

highlighted. Or maybe she, like Burns, is just 

being herself. If the latter is true, a few acting 

lessons may be the prescription before audiences 

start comparing Brooke's acting range 

to Farrah Fawcett-Majors'. 

Still on the minus side, it's sad to see veteran 

performers like Ray Bolger and Keye Luke, 

among others, tossed in like grass clippings 

just so Burns would have someone his own 

age to converse with. They all handle their 

parts (which amount to guest appearances) 

quite well, but there are too many on the 

screen with not enough to say or do. 

On the plus side, nosy neighbors Andrea 

Ex-vaudevillian Bill (George Burns) shares a tomato juice toast with Kate (Brooke 

Shields), a runawav who accidentalh enters the older man's life in "Just Vou and Me, 

Kid." 

Howard and John Schuck are just fine, as is 

William Russ' interpretation of the bad guy 

out to get Shields. Extremely good is Lorraine 

Gary as Burns' married daughter, who gives 

her role an air of professionalism that the pic 

ture desperately needs. Unlike the other pot 

pourri of actors, Gary is perfectly cast. 

The overall effect of this picture is that it's 

funny, touching and often very good, but it 

could have been so much better. If the film 

does one thing, it proves that George Burns is 

as funny as ever and still good enough to turn 

a muddled effort into an above-average picture. 

Even so, above-average is still disappointing 

when you think of how remarkable it 

could have been. Stu Goldstein.

Some of your patrons could maybe 

be comfy sitting in a beanbag ashtray. 

For them, maybe you don't need us. 

But not everybody's a lightweight. 

Most folks would really 

appreciate all the delicious 

luxury and comfort of our 

new Loge line of theatre 

chairs. For them, you need us. 

The new Loge chair line 

began with Irwin's proven 

styling and durability. Then, we made 

our seat cushion a lot deeper—our 

armrests longer and half again as wide 

— and gave our backs a lot thicker 

padding. 

We've now got the most 

Irwin Seating 

comfortable theatre chair 

available. Anywhere. Even

LaVezzi VKF 

sprocket 

Murphy's law is at work in motion picture projectors! If anything 

can go wrong it will And where it is often likely to occur 

In the film. A film can be projected repeatedly Then 

without warning, perforations tear Film is damaged and requires 

immediate repair The movie audience is irritated. 

LaVezzi has developed the VKF sprocket that can reduce 

film damage caused by abnormal contact between 

the film and sprocket The new VKF sprockets are shaped 

with the widest possible teeth compatible with the narrow 

CS CinemaScope film perforations, as well as the wider KS 

perforations. Each tooth is meticulously profiled with 

rounded corners to eliminate any contact with the corners 

of the perforations— the place where tearing often starts. 

With no sharp edges on the sprocket, it reduces the 

chance of cutting, tearing, or abrading the film—even 

under heavy tension, uneven film travel, or other abnormal 

condition. 

The new VKF sprocket does much more! It reduces 

"film dust" caused by shaving, and the resulting projector 

wear and costly maintenance. Sound and image projection 

are improved to the appreciation and continued patronage 

of the audience. 

Change to the new VKF sprockets throughout your 

projectors They will prove Very Kind to Film! 

Consult with your theatre equipment dealer for details 

concerning the VKF sprockets, or write or call us direct 

for more information

The Filmûlt 

Our heavy-duty, light weight ICC case. 

At last, an ICC case that can take it. Made of highly durable 

structural polymer material, it's ruggedly designed to withstand heavy abuse 

in shipping and handling. Yet the Film Vault is light weight — 

about 50% less than old-fashioned metal carriers. Stackable either horizontally 

or vertically, there's never a problem with rusting, scratching 

or denting shut. And it's always easy to open; never any prying with a screwdriver. 

In the most popular size, for 3-reel shipping and storage.

Think of Lumens- Per-Watt 

as Miles-Fer-Gallon, 

and you'll know why EPRAD's Universal 

Xenon Lamphouse belongs in your booth. 

Miles-per-gallon tell you a lot about an automobile's efficiency. Just as lumens-per-watt are 

the real measure of Xenon Lamphouse performance. 

The Eprad Universal Xenon Lamphouse delivers 17 lumens per watt (17 miles per 

gallon). 

A glass mirror cannot deliver more than eight lumens per watt (eight miles per gallon). 

So, for a glass reflector lamphouse, you need twice as big a bulb guzzling twice the power 

to get the same results an Eprad Universal Xenon Lamphouse will give you. 

Savings in the purchase of equipment or conversion kit are minor— around $400.00 to 

$600.00 per lamphouse and rectifier. And, the larger size bulb needed, with its shorter life 

and big appetite for electricity, can wipe out those savings in less than a year! 

So, $600.00 or so saved on the original equipmen m^m 

t 

costs for a one time purchase isn't really 

HtjfiDHB r^B Iff 

"saved" at all. Over a span of ten years, ^g^-__ 

ijjr| 9 

I 

your added cost for xenon bulbs and 

electricity can run $6,000.00 or more. 

That's several times the price of a complete, 

super-efficient Eprad Universal 

Xenon Lamphouse with all-new Eprad 

designed and built power supply. 

Ask your Eprad dealer for complete 

details about Eprad's Universal Xenon 

Lamphouse and Power Supply. Or, get 

in touch with us. 

All-New 

EPRAD Xenon 

Power Supply 

Brilliantly designed, 

quality built, by Eprad. 

Special circuitry and 

components protect 

against damage by lightning 

and occurrence of 

"spiking". Three sizes: 

1800 watts, 3000 watts 

and 4000 watts with 

three phase rating of 208 

and 240 volts. Variable 

voltage capability. 


EPRAD Universal 

Xenon Lamphouse 

The only lamphouse capable of 

lighting any size screen, indoors or 

out. Use with any brand and size 

bulb from 700 to 4000 watts, with 

appropriate Eprad Xenon Power 

Supply.

that meets the strictest 

AISC and ACI code standards. 

Then capture the inherent drama 

of Selby's 24-hour service guarantee, 

promising that the show 

will go on—with Selby crews 

and equipment ready to prove it.

Iff you're interested in saving 

money in your theatre operations, 

here's a tip: check the bulb in your 

lamphouse. Iff it's anything but an 

OSRAM Xenon bulb, chances are 

it's costing you extra money! 

That's because OSRAM Xenon 

bulbs last longer. Though they're 

covered by the most liberal life 

warranty in the industry, many 

exhibitors report that these 

remarkable light sources last 

hours and hours past their 

warranteed life. 

The result is the lowest 

cost-per-hour for any motion 

picture projector bulb. This 

incredible efficiency explains why 

more theatres, worldwide, use 

the OSRAM Xenon bulb than any 

other brand. 

If you're using a different Xenon 

bulb, check with your OSRAM 

distributor, or call us toll-free. It 

will be your first step to significant 

cost savings.
