GROVE Aside from celluloid, money is now the lowest common denominator in the New Hollywood as film production and marketing costs escalate. Film after film breaks into the $10 million to $15 million range once reserved only for blockbusters.

A school of thought maintains it's virtually impossible for a major film company to make pictures today for under $5 million. Indeed, the New Hollywood appears more willing than ever to spend really big bucks say, between $20 million and $35 million in hopes of striking box office gold than it GOOD TIMES LOUNGE 62 N.

While there are, of course, predictable differences between these elephants and mice of the film industry, there is also an interesting similarity. Movies have largely become a director's medium in recent years, but where pictures with either very large or very small budgets are concerned, producers now appear to play a much more significant role. This is evident from recent conversations with Andrew J.

Fenady, producer of "'The With Bogart's Face" (which cost Melvin Simon Productions under $5 million), and William Frye, producer of "Raise the Titanic" (a $32 million Lew Grade presentation). "That's more than our picture cost," Fenady laughs, referring to one exaggerated report that the model of the Titanic alone had cost about $5 million to build. The report turns out to be somewhat inflated. ship, itself, cost around Frye corrects. However, it was necessary to build a deep tank facility in Malta in which to raise the model and this "cost a little over $3 million to build." The model of the Titanic is 55 feet long, 12 feet high and weighs 10,000 pounds, according to Frye, and because of its size they had no tank to put it in.

"Stanley Kramer, who was on the picture a good 10 months to a year before I was, planned to raise the Titanic in the ocean off Long says Frye. "We found (that) extremely difficult and impractical to do because the Titanic's supposed to be at a depth of 12,500 feet. There's no fish down there no life of any kind." Various alternatives were explored, but the decision to build an enormous tank in Malta was made because, according to Frye, a surface tank was already available there to shoot the various parts of the picture after the Titanic was up. The resulting $3 million in construction costs was more expensive than they thought. Soil erosion and leakage in that particular area were problems.

The tank had to be reinforced to a much greater extent than they originally planned at an approximate cost of an additional $1 million. The tank, which holds over nine million gallons of water, will not be abandoned once "Titanic" is completed in July (after over two years in various stages of production.) "Lew Grade has first refusal on all of the facilities there for 10 years," Frye explains. Then the tank reverts to the Maltese film company. A Maltese tank was one thing the "Bogart" company didn't have to worry about. Fenady brought his picture in with only 45 days of shooting.

Asked if that wasn't a bit lean, he replies: "I don't think so. I did a picture called which wrote and produced (in 1970) with John Wayne and Death claims Dore Schary NEW YORK (UPI) Playwright and film producer Dore Schary, who wrote the award-winning play Sunrise at Campobello, died Monday in his Manhattan home following a long illness. He was 74. Schary, a native of Newark, N.J., began his show business career by singing in his familys restaurant. He later worked as an actor, newspaperman and theater director from 1926 to 1932 and wrote 35 screenplays between 1933 and 1937 when he worked for Columbia, Paramount and Warner Bros.

From then until 1941 he worked as a writer with MetroGoldwyn-Mayer Studios. After leavng MGM, he worked as a producer at Vanguard Productions and became head of production at RKO. In 1948, he rejoined MGM for an eight-year stint as production head. Following his return to Broadway in 1956, Schary won an Antoinette Perry (Tony) Award for Sunrise at Campobello, a drama about Franklin Roosevelts battle with polio. During his movie career, he supervised production on more than 250 films, including An American in Paris, The Blackboard Jungle, Young Tom Edison, Bataan, and Lassie, Come Home.

Schary encouraged the production of films on touchy subjects such as racial and economic problems, but insisted dramatic elements be paramount over propaganda. Every film should have an element of risk, he once said. Every story should have a point of view. Schary served as national chairman of the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith from 1963 to 1970 and was a member of the council of the Southern California American Civil Liberties Union. He also served as New York Citys Commissioner of Cultural Affairs for one year 1970.

A private funeral was today. A public service is scheduled at the national headquarters of the ADL Thursday. Schary is survived by his wife, the former Miriam Svet, his children two daughters and a son and seven grandchildren. Feted for anniversary A surprise party was held in the Shenandoah Amvets in honor of Mr. and Mrs.

John Micko on the occasion of their 25th Wedding Anniversary. Hostess for the affair was Mrs. Mary Martin and her committee of Irene Avenoso, Audrey Palubinsky and Mary Ann Puza. After Invocation by Rev. Charles Sperlak, a delicious meal was served by the capable Amvets staff.

Music was furnished by The Diamonds. Mr. and Mrs. Micko were married June 11, 1955 in St. Canicus Church, Mahanoy City, by Father Thomas Calpin.

Guests were from Shenandoah, Mahanoy City, Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. PLEASE NOTE! EFFECTIVE FRIDAY, JULY 11, WE WILL CHANGE OUR HOURS OF OPERATION BANKING FACILITY 9 A.M. To 3 P.M. -4 4 P.M. To 6 P.M.

Fenady doesn't subscribe to the now-popular New Hollywood view that you must have at least $5 million to play with if you want to film anything. "There's no doubt that prices are skyrocketing," he says, "But they're not beyond control. It all depends on the producer's attitude. If it's a cavalier one you say, 'We'll just go out and spend. If it takes an extra $1 million, so Frye also believes that good projects can still be made for relatively short money in spite of escalating production costs.

His next picture, which he hopes to begin early next year, is an original very amusing murder mystery that can be made for $4 million. It's called "'The Murderess." All Frye will say about it at the moment is that he's going to prove that it can be done (for about $4 million). It's in England right now being re-budgeted.
