ationsh But no later than the turn of the century, hunger, pollution and over-population will have been virtually eliminated, along with militant nationalism, crime and political corruption Material comfort will be achieved for everyone under the rule of this well-ordered management society. This is the fundamental premise of producer-director Norman Jewison’s new futuristic film “Rollerball.’ starring James Caan and co-staring John Houseman. Maud Adams. John Beck. Moses Gunn. Pamela Hensley. Barbara Trentham and Sir Ralph Richardson The film is released by United Artisits, an entertainment services of Transamenca Corporation, and will open Friday at the Pickwick Theatre. Syracuse “RoHerball ' takes its title from the brutal physical contact sport which, in tomorrow’s world, will provide the masses with their pruv cipal vicarious outlet for violence and hostility The game will be watched by audiences between two and three billion each week via the ultimate communications medium of Multi-vision. Each major city will, of course, avidly support its own Rollerball team, playing the game under the corporate colors of the major conglomerate with which the city is allied Houston. Texas, for example, is an Energy city and, at the time the film begins, the city which sponsors the World Champion Rollerball team, led bv a battle-scarred

veteran named Jonathan E„ played by James Caan. Rollerball has been his entire life for more than eight years and he enjoys all of the privileges accorded to the top player of the game. Because he is becoming an international folk hero, however. Jonathan is asked to retire by the corporation executives. who feel that his stubborn independence of spirit is a threat to their carefully controlled comfort-motivated society. When he refuses, out of loyalty’ to his team, the executives decide to let the game itself take care of him, bv eliminating enough of the rules to change Rollerball from a rough sport into mayhem. “RoHerball” is based upon William Harrison s original short storypublished in Esquire. In Jewison's opinion. “Rollerball” concerns several pertinent aspects of contemporary life — the increasing violence and brutality in audience sports today, as well as the diminishing threshold of individual shock and outrage at the creeping depersonalization of life that has accompanied the rapid development of our comfortable materialistic, computerized and franchised society. He honestly believes, although he hopes it never happens, that the possibility of a vicious game like RoHerball becoming popular is far from fantasy The show will be on a double bill with Woody Allen's ‘Love and Death'. Balls return from confab Arden. Charmaine and Becky Ball have returned from the National Convention of the American Camping Association. "Camping in the Spirit of ‘76”. held March 2-6 in Philadelphia. Arden Ball represented Camp Alexander Mack of which he is resident director. The ACA convention brought together in Philadelphia more than 2.000 camp directors and staff members representing over 3.000 agency, church and privateindependent camps in the United States. The convention keynoter was Nido Qubein. editor-in-chief of “Adventures with Youth magazine and recent recipient of the Outstanding Young Man of America award. Other featured speakers were Judge Lisa A. Richette. author of "The Throwaway Children” and Henry W. Taft, president of Outward Bound, Inc. The Balls also participated in special workshops designed to keep the camping profession up to date and visited over 100 professional exhibits displaying the latest in supplies and services for organized camping If you sacrifice your principles for popularity, you lose much and gain nothing worth having. It’s easy to see which children get adequate attention from their parents and those who don’t.

You gotta be good with the best/ says Reynolds

“If you are running with oughbreds you are forced to be good.” says Burt Reynolds, referring to his work on "Lucky Lady” in which he co-stars with two Academy award winners : Gene Hackman and Liza Minnelli. The hugescale action adventure, set in the year 1930 against a background of rum-running on the high seas, was made over a perior of 19 weeks in Mexico this summer. “I’ve never been known for lacking in candidness about people I’ve worked with” Reynolds continues “So when I talk about Liza and Gene I'm not being conventionally polite. I have made two friends for life. I had heard they were true professionals but I've heard that about other actors before starting a movie and I've had some unhappy experiences. “But Liza and Gene made a difficult film a happy one for me. If you work with Fonda or JimmyStewart or Duke Wayne who've been in the business 40 years or more you expect this standard of professionalism but these two are young .. my generation, and both have won Academy awards. Yet neither tried to take a line or a laugh from me; they went out of their way to contribute to my performance. "Gene Hackman is an exceptionally- complicated man. He hides the fact that he’s a romantic, emotional sort of man behind a rough, gruff exterior. He doesn't say much and when he feels he's got to relieve his tensions he takes off in his little aeroplane and buzzes around It's his safety valve. “Liza is just the opposite — everything is on the surface; it's a hummingbird, it's a butterfly. You'd have to be a fool not to be fascinated by her. She’s constantly bubbling over with enthusiasm, never complains, never acts up or makes demands, which was a great pleasure and a surprise to me.” In “Lucky Lady” the three superstars play the roles of Kibby (Gene Hackman), Claire (Liza Minnelli) and Walker (Burt Reynolds), seeking a fortune through bootlegging, and because so much of the action is at sea aboard a 60 ft. racing cutter. they were together for days on end, and sometimes for nights on end. in extremely cramped circumstances.

"Lucky Lady" would put to sea with 50 people aboard —a crew of eight and the remainder cast

filming during which the company was based in the Mexican fishing port of Guaymas on the Gulf of California, a town that offered next to nothing to do on rest days. Reynolds describes the situation — "Four months in cramped quarters, nowhere to go at night, language problems, a multi-racial company in which people had ways of doing things that were different to what you were used to — tempers in those circumstances get short, you get to a point where you can’t stand to see anyone. Which is why I’m so grateful to Gene and Liza, for they were the reasons why I didn't go off my rocker during the film.” The actor also feels confident that he gives a better performance as Walker in “Lucky Lady” be cause he was playing alongside Hackman who set a standard Reynolds was determined to match. “It may seem, from some of the things I’ve said in the past, that I’m insecure as an actor." he continues, “that screen playboy image certain columnists have slapped on me has had a lasting effect on my opinion of myself. This isn’t so.” During the making of "Lucky Lady” Reynolds saw very few press people and the remoteness of the location made for singleminded concentration on the work in hand. “In retrospect,” says Burt Reynolds, “it was a gruelling film to make, one of the toughest, not because of the ruggedness of the locations or the hazards of filming at sea but because of the confinement. the feeling we all had of wanting to be somewhere else. We survived, and I believe it was worthwhile. The script is the finest I have ever read, the only script except for ‘Deliverance’ in which I didn’t want to change one word.” “Lucky Lady” was directed by Stanley Donen. written by WUlard Huyck and Gloria Katz, and produced by Michael Gruskoff. The 20th Century-Fox release premieres Friday at the Goshen Theatre.
