This was the first city he stopped at on a quick tour that would take him across many of the western states, “The trick to a tour like this is being able to sleep in planes, the backs of limousines, and the corners of T.V. studios,” Heston said. The movie was filmed high in the mountains of British Columbia. The director zof photography, Richard Letter man, brings some very John’s paintings at hospital show Art Museum.

When asked about filming in the mountains, Heston /eplied; “I’ve evolved Chucks law which is, ‘any location is photographically attractive in direct ratio in how tough it is to shoot it’.” a In “Mother Lode,” Heston plays a reclusive Scottish miner name Silas McGee. For 30 years he’s been looking for a hidden cavern believed to be plastered with gold. Heston plays somewhat the villian in this film, in which he plays a dual role as McGee’s brother Ian. His character is convincing as the crusty old miner, but he’s also very unpredictable. Throughout the film, it’s hard for the viewer to tell if he’s the good guy or the bad, which on ly adds to the excitement. The other principal actors in this film are Jean Dupre (Nick Mancuso), and Andrea Spalding (Kim Basinger). They start up into the mountains in an old float plane that’s more trouble than it’s worth, looking for Spalding’s boyfriend who Charlton Heston went looking for gold earlier in a warehouse in Vancouver and never returned.

The old tuality an elaborate set built float plane they were using was solely for this film. Heston ex supposed to make a smooth plained that the mine was built landing on a lake, but overturn - Photo by Rodney Robbins ed instead. It makes for in teresting viewing. Even though it’s an action packed story from the begin ning to end, the viewer really has to pay attention to details to know what’s going on. This film will either pull you right along with the action or leave you rolling in the dust of the mine. “Marne” to open for holiday season The Broadway hit musical Marne opens on the Mainstage of Portland Civic Theatre on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25 and runs Thursdays through Saturdays, through January 15th, with special holiday per formance dates. Cyndy Ramsey stars as Marne and Stephen Jenkins as Young Patrick. “Marne,” by Lawrence, Lee and Herman, is based on the novel by Patrick Dennis and the play “Auntie Marne” by Lawrence and Lee. It is a rollicking musical journey on the shirt tails of the most un conventional Aunt of all time. The year is 1928 when the newly orphaned Patrick (Stephen Jenkins) arrives in New York to become the ward of his only living relative— Auntie Marne (Cyndy Ramsey). Marne is a wealthy social butterfly given to riotess living and thumbing her nose at convention. She is surprised at her “wonderful present”--10 year old Patrick. He changes her life. When Patrick is en trusted to her care Marne become his loyal and loving protector, in her own inimitable way. This most improbable of aunts steers her beloved young nephew through financial misfortune and romantic en tanglements to a secure and happy adulthood (portray by Ron Brallier), to a home and family of his own. Marne lost none of her zany sparkle and sumptuous flamboyancy as she urges the timid to be daring, the glum to smile, and the stingy to open their pocket books as she dances and sings her way through life. She is joined by her many friends, Vera Charles (Linda Greep), Agnes Gooch (Gayle Millage), Dwight Bab cock (Charles Bernard), Beauregard J.P. Burnside (Bob Lamberson), M. Lindsay Woolsey (David Pickrell), to name a few. Marne is full of tuneful gems like “Open A New Window,” “We Need A Little Christmas,” “My Best Girl,” “Marne” and “If He Walked Into My Life.” Patsy Maxson directs.
