Staff photo dress to it as The Island of Nose beautifully illustrated book The Island of Nose is one of the most beautifully illustrated books to come out this year. In fact the full paged illustrations (reminiscent of Morris Sendak) quite over- shadow the printed pages they face. The story by Annie G.M. Schmidt has been translated into English from the Dutch original, and concerns a little boy with outsized ears who saves the Island of Nose by bringing back the four seasons. The original imaginative ideas belong to the writer--the car shaped like a dragon, (with a rock band inside it), the mechanical frog ferry, the order of the Golden Nose, but these ideas have been so superbly interpreted by artist Jan Marinus Verburg that each huge 'The Fonz' has new role in movie Heroes by Terry Dupuis Coming soon to the Odeon Theatre in Midland is Heroes, a comedy drama starring Henry Winkler. Winkler is best known to his millions of T.V. fans as "The Fonz"' on the Happy Days series Heroes is Winkler's first starring movie role He had a role four years ago in a film called The Lords Of Flatbush, but that was before he gained television popularity. In Heroes Winkler stars as a disturbed Vietnam war veteran. Four years earlier he developed a guilt complex when a friend died in action saving his life. After returning home, he developed fantasies to help him shut out the memories of the war. Winkler escapes from the Veterans' hospital and sets out for California, where he plans to start a farm with some ex-army friends. Along the way he meets a runaway bride (Sally Fields) who is also trying to escape from her past. The two team up and encounter various ad- ventures and misad- ventures as they travel across the country to California Many episodes are hilarious, others are poignant. Winkler and Fields make an engaging and offbeat team. In the Supporting cast, two performers who also stand out are Olivia Cole as the wife of one of Winkler's war buddies, and Harrison Ford as a race car driver. (Ford gained movie prominence last summer as_ the cynical space pilot Han Solo in Star Wars.) Heroes bears some Movie review similarities to another winning movie of several years'. back called The Crazy World of Julius Vrooder. That one starred Timothy Bottoms as a Vietnam veteran who lived in his own fantasy world. But Vrooder was a box-office flop, whereas Heroes has become a box- office hit One On One Another recent hit is the basketball drama One On college life to be not at all the ideal he had expected, but his experiences there mature him. Robbie Benson is a new talent who on the basis of One On One _ seems destined to go far in movies. He not only offers a fine performance in this movie; he also wrote the original script himself in collaboration with his writer father.

Robbie Benson gives a memorable stars as a high school graduate who is sent to college on a basketball scholarship. He finds performance in One On One as a college senior who at first looks down on Benson, but who gradually comes to love him. One On One skillfully combines"~ sports, romance, drama and humour in much the same way as Sylvester Stallone's film Rocky did. One On One is able to stand up quite well in comparison to Rocky, and both films ended up on my 10 Best Movies of the Year list back in December. Playing with One On One at the Pen on the same program is the suspenseful science-fi- ction thriller Starship Invasions.

Here's an example of the wit and crazy realism in this splendid art work--On the cover Tom stares benignly at the reader, big ears and all. And on the back cover, he's painted in the same position, from the rear, and there's the artist, pallette in hand, painting the cover portrait. It's a gorgeous book, and the illustrations with their mass of wide-eyed detail, will be pored over long after the story has been read.

The book contains comments by _ Isaac Asimov, Lester Del Rey A.E. van Vogt and others, and covers everything from Mary Shelley to Clockwork Orange.

Alice Barrington, forced to flee her com- . fortable (and venerable) New York apartment because it's being torn down, reflects on her life as a member of a wealthy New York family at the hidebound by tradition and free thinkers are all lovingly explored in a series of flashbacks. "Alice felt occasionally that she spent as disproportionate amount of her leisure time reflecting on the past. But what else was there to do? Approaching her mid- nineties, there wasn't much point in speculating on what the future might hold." From her new home in British Columbia, she tells us what it was like to be living in the world of the Vanderbilts, the Rockerfellers and the Whitneys and of her occasional (and futile) attempts to rebel against such a life. turn of the century.
