Huston, Bean Continued from Page 17 trailer was. a- bearded man crowded, with silvery blond hair, the show's star: Paul Newman. He was locked into a conversation with his partner and "Roy Bean" producer, John Foreman, a man with a serious, balding pate. It looked like it was easier for Foreman to frown than 'smile. The' trailer, while Spartan; bore a few unmistakable Huston touches--a well-stacked bar, books on pre-Columbian and Etruscan art, and the fact that it seemed to be the social center for the entire company.

Billy Pearson. a jockey and longtime: Huston confidant, came in with the caterers carrying steaming plates of fool covered with aluminum foil. With him was his tiny daughter, Sarah. "We're a little behind schedule," Foreman said. Huston nodded, taking a sip of vodka.

"Tomorrow if we shoot up the street for the fall we can save a set-up." Huston nodded again. "Or we can shoot day for night in the afternoon, we can wrap by dark tomorrow." As Huston listened he wadded his aluminum foil into a baseball and began playing catch with Paul Newman. there's a storm moving south. Could hit uS tomorrow night. That means we may have to wrap by dark.

Those stretchouts would never make it off this hill in a blizzard," added Foreman. Soon little Sarah was in the game. and it became keepaway with her in the middle. They wadded up more balls until each was throwing two at a time. And the penalties we'd have to pay if that crew was stuck out here in a blizzard Foreman was getting worried.

"John, you're forgetting we lose Roddv tomorrow, night." said Huston. "We can't keep hint on. He has a call at Fox on Thursday. If I don't get his close-ups. tomorrow, we'll have to do it back in town.

To hell with the weather, to hell with stunts. We only have one thing to worry about tomorrow. The rest will have to wait." Meanwhile Sarah, oblivious to the problems of "Roy Bean," had intercepted a Newman pass and stuffed the wadded foil in Huston's sock. "I seemed to have acquired a bump on my ankle," he intoned. "Perhaps we should call in a specialist." But Sarah has her own cure.

Giving Huston a big hug, she says, "I love you, Uncle John." A stuntman came in to discuss a fall. The desert wind ripped the door from his hand and it banged against the side of the trailer: Sarah curled up in Huston's lap. "Uncle John," she asked. "The man who got shot today, is he going to be all right?" "Yes. dear, he'll be fine.

It was only make-believe. Everything we do here is make-believe." The stuntman flinched at the answer. "Is Roy Bean make-believe too?" "Oh no, dear. He was a real man. He was a hanging judge." "What was he like, Uncle John?" "Il'ell.

he was very brave. Many people. especially outlaws, didn't like him. They were always trying to shoot him. So Judge Roy Bean just faced each day 35 it came.

He thanked God each time he saw the sun rise and lived that dav as fully as he could. And because he did it with a flair, that makes him very special." "Was he a mean man?" "No, but he had to act mean. A hanging judge can't go around passing out flowers now, can he? People expect their hanging judges to be mean. That's what they get paid for. He just acted a certain way for people.

just like Paul is doing in the movic. Roy Bean played the part of his own legend." CHARGE your instant ticket entertainment to great CONCERTS SPORTS Orange County Int'l.
