BY MICHAEL KUCHWARA The Associated Press NEW YORK "Big River," a musical version of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and the Royal Shakespeare Company each captured 10 Tony award nominations Monday, but three musical categories were eliminated because there weren't enough qualified candidates. Clriclnnatian Rick Stelner, a co-producer of "Big River," was en route from New York to Cincinnati late Monday and could not be reached for comment. "Big River," opened April 25 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre.

The book Is by William Hauptman and the score by Roger Miller. Both were nominated for Tony awards; the show Itself was nominated for best musical. Acknowledging that the 1984-85 Broadway season was one of worst in recent years, the nominating committee, composed of 11 retired critics and academics, declined to nominate candidates for best actor in a musical and choreography. Last Thursday, the Tony administration committee, which determines eligibility for Broadway's highest honors, removed the best actress in a musical category because there was only one eligible performer, Leilani Jones of "Grind." She was placed in the supporting actress category and did win a nomination. "THE WORD on top of the ballot Is 'outstanding' and the Tonys always try to stand for excellence, and we thought that none of the Martha Swope JIM DALE, left, and Stockard Charming were nominated for best actor and best actress respectively for their roles in the play "Joe Egg." people were outstanding," said Henry Hewes, a member of the nominating committee.

"We thought it was in the best interest of the theater and the Tonys not to present a slate of people who had not performed excellently in their art." Several special awards will be given, Including one. to to Yul Brynner for his record of more than 4,500 performances in "The King and Another award will be given to the Steppenwolf Theater Company of Chicago for continued excellence by a regional theater. Nominations will now be mailed to about 660 theater pro I Cincinnati's 5-year-old ON TV subscription television service will cease operations at the end of this month, replacing the late-night recent-release movies with older, free ones. Steve Kent, president and general manager of Will-TV (Channel 64) and ON TV, said Monday the service will end after May 31 because the company which supplies the movies by satellite, Oak Media is stopping operations on that day. Either of the two alternative ways to continue providing the subscription service would have doubled the monthly customer cost, Kent said.

There are only about 3,200 subscribers currently, he said (the high several years ago was Rather than decrease the size of what he said was a "very close to break-even" operation already by raising prices, the company decided to discontinue the service. KENT SAID he learned of Oak Media's decision more than a week before a Cincinnati Police Division confiscated several ON TV films for alleged vice violations. At the time of the confiscation, he said, he and other company officers were weighing their PARIS FLEA MARKET AT FERGUSON HILLS DRIVE-IN SAT I SUN 7:00 A.M. TO 4:30 P.M. I ll'M I.
