1976 Kirk Douglas Leaves Producing For Acting HOLLYWOOD (UPI) Kirk Douglas pioneered the movie star as i concept, a i him a multimillionaire and paving the way for other actors to follow suit. Now, with his Bryna Productions 21 years old. Douglas will quit producing to focus his attention on acting. Over the years Bryna's name was affixed to more than a score of lop films, among them "Paths of a a Days in May" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Far from i or selling Bryna, Douglas remains president of the company but has turned over most of the day to day business to his sons. Peter.

21, and Michael. 30. It was Michael who ramrodded Nest" through production. Young Peter is producing the company's newest project, "Something Wicked This Wdy Comes" from Ray Bradbury's i whic'h Jack Clayton will direct. "I'm being nice to all of them because I see a gre'at part in that picture for me." Douglas said.

"And they'd better come through i it soon or I'll revert to the SOB I'm supposed to be at heart." Douglas was having lunch hear a i He is a rf in a a a a a bellied and i i with kinetic energy. He's starred in a movie every year since 1948 when he made his screen debut in "the Strange Love of Martha Ivefs." His roles have covered the spectrum from ancients to cowboys to contemporaries. He's never been except off screen, paradoxically as a tough to get along with arid a charmer of a social lion. Douglas doesn't believe he's earned either distinction. But he is proud of a i won three Academy Award nominations for "Champion," "The Bad arid the Beautiful" and "Lust for Life." He jokes about rearing his sons as employment insurance 1 for the lutur'e.

"Let do all the work behind the camera and they can hire hie in my old age." Douglas said. "I've been president of Bryna since it begah but I have a feeling they're about to kick me upstairs. "I've quit producing and I do-n't want to direct. The trap is doing too a i i a of concentrating on what I like best acting. "I'd like to act in a picture with Michuei.

He's 30 too old to play my soil but old enough to play my younger brother." Douglas laughed and ran a hand his long, graying a i "You know how Bryna got its a he asked in a quick change of subject. "Many years ago. when I first became an actor, I told my mother someday I'd put her name in lights. "My parents were peasant Russian immigrants. They were poor and uneducated.

The fact that I went to college and became a movie star were miracles, to my mother, whose name was Bryna. "Well, when 'Spartacus' opened in New York there was a huge sign in Times Square that read a i Presents Mother's name was up there in the biggest lights wo could find. "When our limousine drove past a sign on the night of the premiere I pointed it out to her and tears of pride spilled down her cheeks." Douglas currently is starring in NBC T.V's "The Money changers." a six four, four part mini series. "This isn't the first television picture I've done." Douglas said. "I did the London musical version of Dr.

Jekyll arid Mr. Hyde' three years ago. I thought it was good and if did well in England but it hud very little impact here." Douglas draws no distinction between movies and television. Tiilike such superstars as Redford and McQueen, he doesn't believe his film career will suffer from exposure on the tube. "So far as I'm-concerned." he said, "this is a movie they happen to be showing on television.
