Miss: Universe : pageant in

CALGARY (CP) — The Calgary Tourlst and Convention
Bureau, an ambitious group, is hanging from a shapely
limb after signing a contract to hold the 1934 Miss Universe
beauty pageant.

The pageant is three months away. and organizers have
yet to announce who will pay ihe $1.2-mlllion cost, The only
statementa have come from those who won't,

The Alberta and federal governments have sald they will .

City council decided the bureau could use'$962,000 Incivic
grants tohelp pay for the pageant, butsaid the money.must
be paid back and eventually be spent on more traditional
methods of promoting the elty.

The bureau signed a $500,000 contract with New York-
based Miss Universe Inc. for the right to hold the pageant
during the Calgary Stampede, Production expenses are
expected to cost another $700,000.

Adams said he expects the sale of Canadian television’
Tights — those outslde Canada belong to Miss Universe Inc,
— tocovera big part of the coat.

But a senior CTV executive, who said the network is
prepared to outbid others because its Calgary affiliate has
been hired to produce the Miss Universe program, said the
contract will bring in only about $130,000. The official
requested anonymity.

Adams refuses to be specific about income sources,
saying too much public information could kill chances of
winning lucrative contracts,

But hé said hotel owners have prom sed reduced rates on
200 rooms, saving the bureau about $200,000 in

Jackson stars in ONeill revival

LONDON (AP) — Few actors would willingly undertake

a five-hour play; but fur Academy Award-winning star |

Glenda Jackson, doing a revival of Eugene O'Neill's
Strange Interlude is-just what the doctor ordered,

“There is no continuum of work for an actress when she
gets to be my age," the 48-year-old performer said in an
Interview in her dressing room In Croydon, south of London,
where the 1928 play is having a try-out.

“The parts are almply not there, and it’s very dlificult to
find stuf you want to do that colneldes with what
nanagements want to do," she said, “I suggested Strange
Interlude to Triumph-Apollo (the production team)
expecting them to say no, but they sald OH." . .

Gasaner to “a large impressioniat novel,” will begirt a 10-

PARIS (AP) — Karl Lagerfeld showed the firat ready-to-

The designer worked for Chive until his contract expired
last Dec. 31 and turned out a smashing Chatiel ahow
“Monday, But he outdid himaelf today by opting for subtlety
over splash.

Lagerleld’s big news was the use of fan shapes In fashions
that featured small waists and flared trousers a la gaucho

to make a comeback, winning out over the tight styles now

polnting out Lagerfeld’s “sophisticated, refined details,"’

Among the great looks was.a black-bordered fan jacket in

Soft pleats and buttons gave class to everything,

week runatLondon’s Duke ol York's Theatre on Aprils,

For Jackson, whose sharp wit and intelligence shone
through her Oscar-witning performances In Women in
Love and A Touch of Clasa, Strange Interlude marks her
second theatrical risk in a row.

Last summer, sbe appeared on the Weat End, London's —

Broadway, in Great and Small, a play by the West German

writer BothoStrauss, in which ahe appeared as an allenated

woman named Lotte who ends up as a bag woman,

Written In 10 fragmented scenes, Great and Smalt had a
stormy try-out, marked by audience protests and walkouts
and some harsh reviews.

“I was only perturbed by the controversy surrounding
Great and Small — if people left with the impression that
siraust was a bad author or that 1t was @ bad play,” she
5a.

PRAISES AUTHOR

“I think he's a remarkable author and. thatit'a a tertific
Play,” she said.

Jackson ix adamant about Introducing the unexpected
inta the commercial theatre mainstream, and she has
sharp words for London's celebrated subsidized theatres —
the Natlonal and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

“f particularly wanted. to do Great and Small in.a
commercial context because of my feeling that, at its more
natural home like the National or the RSC, it would have fit
neatly into thelr cultural slot, which means nothing at all
would have happened,”

Jackson expressed concern that “we're creating
subsidized audiences rather faster than subsidized theatre
~ people whose obligations are fulfilled by going to the
place, and that’s it.

“There'sa certaln amugness about a lot of the work that's

going on at the moment,” she continued, “Theatre has:

become a spectator sport, which I don't think it should be.”

Whatever her qualms about the present theatrical :

situation in England, Jackson comparesit favorably to New
York, where her 1980 London success Hose became a 3981
Broadway failure,

A DISASTER

“We were a disaster,” she said of the Andrew Davies play
- in which she portrayed a discontented school teacher,

dJeasica Tandy played her mother,

“But it was partly our fault in that we tried to inflate the
production to something called Broadway alze, which Is
ndiculous,”’ she sald. ;

Jackson, who sald her days of playing comic fol to the

- likes of Walter Matthau and George Segal are behind her,

has some film projects in the works,

She appears opposite Jason Robarts in the recently
completed Sakharoy, a filmabout the noted Soviet physicist
and dissident Andrei Sakharov, And she will star in The
Turtle Diary, a project funded by the new United British
Artists, whose directorate Includes Albert Finney, Harold

Pinter, John Hurt, Maggie Smith and Jackson.

Beyond that, she admits the job altuation looks bleak —

“unless there's a sudden vogue for. middle-aged ladies,
which, after Shirley MacLaine wins the Oscar (for Terms af
Endearment), there may well be."

And if no satisfactory work appears, Jackson said she
might give up acting altogether and return to achool or
become politically involved.
