§ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, April 28, 1964 HAZARDS ALL OVER Unions, Teen Mobs Bug Beatles Movie LONDON (OP)--The_ making of the Beatles' first movie, sup- posed to be a rush job, moves ahead at a snail's pace, On the. set, it's mass hysteria; outsde it's mob violence. Occasionally the outsiders get inside and the scene defies com- parison with anything since they quit turning out the old cream-pie - in - they've qoome- dies. When this happens, the man with the megaphone cries halt. London bobbies, like so many Keys'one Kops, skitter -across the set to intercept the invad- ers, dozens of screaming girls in hot pursuit of their 'mop- topped idols. And the Beatles flee to the security of a small back room and resume a continuing card game until the coast is clear. Finally the scene is set again and the Beatles, by now larking about in the background, are} corralled by indulgent assist- | ants and herded into the spot- light. | Then a sign, one of the props | col'apses. Just as it is repaired | a light bulb, for no apparent | reason, bursts. DIRECTOR WEEPS And when this happens, the man with the megaphone cries. In fact, after watching one session at the Scala Theatre in London's Soho district when a whole morning was consumed in fi!ming one short, no-dialozgue scene, you wonder if it wouldn't be more fun simply to make a movie of the Beatles making a movie. Only the Beatles, apparently, are not bugged by all the high- pitched . confusion. To them making a movie, like every- thing else, is just a big laugh. They happily admit they can't act .but in this film, A Hard Day's Night, it doesn't matter-- they're playing themselves. Aside from the fans, the movie makers have been har- assed by union troubles that de- veloped when other actors dis- covered the 350 happy fans ad- mitted to the balcony to provide the agonized sound effects were not being paid. Finally the man- agement cut the bit players to 150, expelled the rest, and naid the union rates of about $10 a day, plus meals, SOME NEW SONGS Author Alun Owen, man who like the Beatles was raised. in Liverpool, travelled with them for' several weeks before starting the movie script. 'He admits the plot, centring around difficulties the' Beatles encounter on a trip to London for a television appearance, is pretty thin. But the movie will have seven songs, including several not previously released. Owen, known to Canadians through the CBC productions of his TV _ scripts, including -After the Funeral and. The Stag, says Paul McCartney--he's the one with the choirboy face--is the most adult member of the four- sqme. ben) a Weish-| RULE RELAXED RANGOON (AP) -- Burma's strict military rule was re- laxed for the annual water- throwing festival in which everything got soaked except festival floats and police cars. The festival marks the end of the Burmese calendar year in a tradition invoking the good spirits to bring heavy rains for the key rice crops. FARMS ARE SMALL . About half the inhabitants of Cyprus are farmers,' raising such crops as. potatoes, citrus fruit': and grapes on farms 'He has a keen sense of re- sponsibility," says Owen, while John Lennon, at 23 the senior' partner, chist." Drummer Ringo Starr, in- clined to stay quietly in the background, is the most under- rated of the Beatles, says the author. "Often, in his pictures, jhe looks a little dopey but in fact he is very sharp--he has a great sense of humor." EASY TO LIKE Of George Harrison, Owen Says: '"'He's just a wonderful guy. He's the easiest fellow in 'is just a happy anar- the de ha to get along with. A marvellous disposition." The original idea was to rush the movie through by June and give it speedy, world-wide dis- tribution in case the Beatles' popularity started to sag. But since then the group has jumped backinto the British top 10 with two new songs, taken over several places in the United States list, sparked riots in Australia and mob scenes in Toronto among fans seeking tickets for their forthcoming tours. So it seems there will still be lots of fans around late in July, the film's new release date. ~y Slaps At Paper For 'Ignoring Race Problem WINDSOR, Ont. (cP) ee discrimination is more ent in western Ontario and Nova Scotia than any other area in Canada, says A, Alan Boro- voy, director of the Ontario La- bor Committee for Human rights, Addressing the Institute on Human Rights at the Univer- sity of Windsor during the week- end, Mr. Borovoy said there is less discrimination to Toronto than in Windsor ". . . not be- cause we are more virtuous in the East. It is because there ate more colored people in the West." Dr. Howard McCurdy, a pro- fessor of biology at the Univer- sity of Windsor, said the situa- tion is worse in Windsor than anywhere else in the province because there isn't enough ef- fort beifig made to educate the community against discrimina- tion through newspapers, radie and television. Dr. McCurdy, a Negro, is also president of the Guardian Club, an organization concerned with racial discrimination affecting Negroes in the area, He criticized the Windsor Star, the city's only rile tm saying: ", the paper sistenthy ignores Rage od very per problems of racial and other discrimination that exists Windsor, For two years it has refused to even publish letters to the editor on the subject. "Whatever public . response we get to the work we are do- ing to combat racial discrimi nation, it is not printed. "The idea that to air the problems would be a _ black mark for Windsor. I feel it is more of a black mark to ignore them.' DEPLORES IMMORALITY IBADAN (Reuters) -- Educa tion Minister D. K.
