"IT COULD BE a detrimental boondoggle," said Wayne Kubacki, the manager of Essanay Studio and Lighting 1345 W. Argyle the top studio in Chicago when the city was the filmmaking king, before Hollywood claimed the title in the 1920s.

"It's extremely doubtful that they're going to bring this big increase in feature activity," Kubacki said "Meanwhile, my tax money is going to subsidize one of my competitors." Essanay and RAH are two of Chicago's three major studios where many television commercials and industrial films that make up half the city's $500-million-a year industry are produced. In contrast, only $30 million a year is generated by Hollywood feature productions, according to Screen magazine, an authoritative weekly on the Chicago industry. The Chicago film community is a friendly one, where the studios sometimes share each other's facilities when they are heavily booked. But the proposed studio complex threatens that camaraderie. "THE PEOPLE in this industry have always gotten along well, I hope this doesn't change that," said Richard Kruse, the owner of Chicago Studio City, 1058 W.

Washington which worked on the highly successful 'Ttisky Business." "It's going to create competition for us," Kruse said. "If you're going to spend the money, promote the whole city, so a guy like me can practice the free-market system." Frank Hobbs, business manager for the Chicago local of the Motion Picture Studio Mechanics Union, said he strongly favors the studio. But he concedes that his membership is split. "They have mixed emotions. There's a lot who don't think the city money should be put into one of the studios," he said.

Opponents of the project say its ideas, such as the minority training program, can't work. The training program is "totally preposterous, an absurd premise, said Ruth Ratny. publisher of Screen. "You can't train people for the film business overnight, not even in six months. And no producer wants a bunch of interns on the set." RATNY ALSO says the complex won't lure feature films.

"Feature films come to Chicago for 'the look' and to save money. They are interested in filming the lakeshore, the skyline, the gritty look, an urban city feel," she said. ''And they want to save money. The prices are right here." Indeed, cost plays a big role in bringing films to Chicago, filmmakers say. Producers of many of the feature films made here have rented high school gymnasiums or armories for indoor scenes, instead of using a studio.

Some say that's because its cheaper to rent the schools. Others say it's because the city doesn't have a studio big enough to handle them. Despite their differences, the film community agrees that more film producers are looking to move outside of Hollywood where high production costs are hurting the HOnca bv meg SELENIUM $099 13 99 mm lot) MVt S100 Bm A Hie IS US' I M0 II 20 ni Continued from page 1, this section video piracy law in 1982. CULLERTON SAID it was because of the recent growth of pav -TV services, and the resulting theft problem, that the General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the video piracy law. The law calls for fines of up to $1,000 and one year in jail for people who use, manufacture and sell decoders or other electrical devices designed to receive a television transmission without authorization.

The law also establishes civil penalties that enable cable companies, or subscription television services like ON-TV and Spectrum, to recover civil damages up to three times the actual financial losses from illegal interception of programs. Thus, a person who stole $300 worth of subscription programming could face civil penalties of up to $900 plus court costs, according to the law. Cullerton said it will be hard to prove violations, particularly the criminal offenses, because of the difficulty in getting into a television viewer's home to find the illegally used equipment. That will require a search warrant or permission from the owner. "The whole bill will be difficult to enforce," he said.

"That's why we have the civil penalties. someone is watching a television service that others are having to pay for, that is theft of services, he said. "I have no compassion for those who buy one of those devices to illegally unscramble the signal." SPACE, MEANWHILE, said it will fight any attempt to bring owners of microwave dishes under the new Illinois piracy law. Similar battles have been fought in other states, and all have been successful, Brown said. "Our position is that someone who owns a satellite earth station violates no law by viewing any of the programs that are available from satellite," he said.

"There is no law in our view that says it is illegal." Brown said that about 40 channels of programming are available by satellite 25 of them on a daily basis. He said 90 percent of the dish owners live in rural areas that are not served by cable or other subscription video services.

industry. New York is clearly the Second City in filmmaking, but other cities, including Chicago, are fighting for a bigger share of the business. Illinois has been successful, drawing 110 major feature films, TV shows and TV pilots since 1975. Each time one of those productions comes to town, it creates jobs and spurs the economy as the visiting performers and crews spend for hotels, meals and other living expenses. To its proponents, the film complex is crucial to bringing more filmmakers to Chicago, perhaps even regaining the heavyweight crown it lost some 65 years ago to Hollywood.

But they say time is running short. "WE'RE RIGHT at the crest of a mountain. It the complex is going to say, we're willing to risk some of our money to get your industry in here. That's a risky step to take, but it's necessary' said Lucy Salenger, the former director and now a consultant for the Illinois Film Office, who is largely credited with the increased film activity in the state. "We're losing a competitive edge," said Ratner of the studio foundation, who predicted the next three months will make or break the film complex proposal.

"We had to write a four-page essay about him in class," said Jacqueline Alexander, 15. "We get a triple if we write about Martin Luther King in social studies. If we don't, we get a triple YET, SOME Chicago school officials fear the emphasis on King lessons have fallen on deaf ears, arguing today's students are no longer interested in the civil rights leaders. Earl Rowe, acting principal of Nathaniel Pope Elementary School, a predominantly black school at 1852 S. Albany Ave.

on the West Side, said he stopped holding special assemblies honoring King a few years ago and let his teachers decide instead how much time should be devoted to him in the classroom. "The new generation of kids don't seem to care as much about King," Rowe said. "They don't have the fervor that the older kids did. Anyway, a lot of what went on in the assemblies went over the younger kids' heads." Even Whittier's principal, Paula O'Malley, has done some soul-searching about King and the civil rights movement, as she told the youngsters at Thursday's assembly. "I was pretty young then, and I probably didn't get as involved as I should have," O'Malley, who is white, quietly said, her head down.

"I say that to you very softly because I'm not very proud of it. You should not forget what we did today, it's real important stuff. Nobel Peace Prize. He was a preacher. He was born in Atlanta, in 1929.

And his father took over his church when he died." The Chicago Board of Education encourages teachers to include lessons on King in their regular course of instruction during the school year, but does not set any specific teaching guidelines. "WE DO NOT like to use the approach that this is a one day holiday and you talk about Martin Luther King for one day," said Alice Jurica, director of the Chicago Board of Education's bureau of social studies. "We think Martin Luther King, like all black history, should be integrated into regular social studies."

Some of the youngsters appeared to have learned their lessons well.
