The Herold-News, Tuesday, March 19, 1968 23 Uy BOR THOMAS LAST TIMES TONIGHT "VALLEY GF THE CGUS" STARTS, TOMORROW 1ST RUN SHOWING the only acting winner tire- ident, Gregory Peck, made a personal plea to a number of former Oscar winners such as Greer Garson, James Stewart, Jennifer Jones, Charlton Hes- ton, Jane Wyman, Marlon Brando, Lee Marvin, Joan Crawford, Jack Lemmon, Norma Shearer. "We in the academy are proud of our award winners and urge that you become -part of our anniversary celebration by accepting this invitation," wrote 'Peck, who invited the winners to be the academy's guests at the awards and the. board of governors ball afterward. The acade-ny has also been exerting ils influence to-get as many of-the actingnomineei as possible into the April 8 audience. One device is to fn-vite them to be presenters on-the show.

"Some of the nominees-Dame Edith Evans, for example prefer to be in the pro-' gram," an official explained. "In that way, they don't feel so embarrassed if they have HOLLYWOOD (AP) The Motion Picture Academy is striving to avoid a no-show show, with the 40th annual awards on April 8. Last year's Oscar cast was considered a scandal by some of the academy's supporters. They deplored the fact that only pne of the major acting winners was present at the Santa Monica- Civic to collect his Oscar. The audience itself lacked the glamor that is expected at the awards; stars stayed away in droves.

Outspoken Walter Matthau, night she explained. But she will come from New York fosj the awards, as will Anne Bancroft Audrey Hepburn 11 fly in from her Switzerland home, and Dame Edith Evans will make the trip from England. Only Katharine Hepburn of the best-actress nominees will not appear. She is making a film in Nice, France. But then, she has fa'hd to attnd the awards when nominated irt other years.

Dustin Hoffman, Rod Stei-ger and Warren Beatty have accepted their invitations. Spencer Tracy is dead. That leaves Paul Newman, who has declined. He "ays he's too busy editing the film he directed. All of the supporting actor nominees are expected to be present, except Michael J.

Pollard, who will he arparin in "Leda Had a Little Swan" on Broadwav. Two of the supporting actresses are also in plays. Es-telle Parsons is aDpearing in a new Tennessee W'lliams drama and won't come to Santa Monica. Beah Richards, who will be playing "The Little Foxes" in San Francisco, is expected to be excused to attend the big night. sent, said he felt it was poor taste that the other victors couldn't be present Their excuses seemed lame.

Elizabeth Taylor was in the south of France making a picture, Sandy Dennis was in few York doing the same. Paul Scofieht was too shy to appear, sorne- one said. In these times' of jet travel, it seemed to local observers that the Misses Taylor and" Dennis could have been, ex-, cused from their films to attend the film industry's most important 'event This year the academy pres MGM Aitihonv Anianeffe Charles' iMillJ- VI ifd'iuiilLnlll FRANSCOPE and METROCOLOR come 6,000 miles just to be a loser."

"Directors who shoot a scene again and again aren't necessarily perfectionists; They're just waiting for that moment that little moment, I can't put it into words -when everybody knows it was done right. On The Other Hand "Ford, on the other hand, always tried to shoot a scene only once, counting on spontaneity to carry the day. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn't. But it had nothing to do with improvisation in any case.

The" French directors like Godard whoike to improvise everything are cheating themselves and their actors. They give nobody a chance to listen for react; everyone's thinking about what they're going to do next. "But sometimes, all the same, a little moment will come when everything is right You get involved. The sweat glands start to work. You tremble a little.

And people will remember those scenes for years. They'll forget the whole movie, but remember the scene." Stewart put his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair, staring up at the ceiling. 'Til never forget once, we were on location in Canada, up in the ice fields," he said. "It was rainmg, and we had fire; the company was trying to keep warm. An old man he must have been 70 came walking out of the rain and the wilderness out of nowhere.

Just a Moment "He said, 'which one of you" fellows is Stewart? I said I was. He said he'd seen me in a lot of picture shows. He said he remembered one scene real well. I was in a room, he said. "There was a girl in the next room.

There were fireflies around. I said a piece of poetry to her. The old man said he'd never forget that scene. "Well, at the moment I couldn't remember it myself. But finally I did.

That was from 'Come Live with and the girl was Hedy La-marr, and we made it in 1941." Stewart shook his head, remembering. "A moment like that will stay with you and the whole movie will fade away," he said.

I can go through motions to my own satisfaction. "But then, when it comes right down to it, none of the technique means a thing against those moments when you're in front of the camera and something takes place entirely in addition to the lines and the movements.

Plan Everything "Hitcneock "and Ford both worked that way. They'd plan everything in advance. They'd foresee everything that could possibly be foreseen. 4 And then, when they got us in front of the cameras, they'd sort of throw it all up for grabs, to see if anything exciting would happen. Within the technical framework, you cross your fingers and wish for magic." Stewart shook his head and smiled wryly.

"I remember Ford used to have a speech. His theory of movie-making. He'd say, don't talk about it Don't analyze it. Don't rehearse it. Don't think about it.

Come prepared, and then get in front of the camera and d(A it and see how it comes out. Never Rehearsed "Ford never rehearsed. I never like to rehearse anyway, for that matter. I learn, my lines and think about them but if I'm doing scene, I want to know the camera is operating. Unless the camera is moving, the scene isn't alive, and the rehearsal is technical stuff.

By the time you get to the cameras, the scene is dead.

Special to The Herald-Mews And Chicago gun-Times EL PASO, Texas The morning after the world premiere of "Firecreek," his 70th -motion picture, James Stewart pulled a -maroon dressing gown on over his shirt and slacks to ward off the chill in his hotel suite. That took a minute or so, and then he sat down, crossing his arms, rocking back and forth slowly, trying to frame the. right words to answer the question.

Been Asked" "Oh, I guess I've been asked often enough' when I'm going to get around to playing a bad guy," he said at last. "I never have. Seems like everyone else has taken the John Wayne. Henry Fonda." You could see the grin beginning around his eyes. It was a slow grin that took its time working around to the rest of his face.

The Stewart grin. "I don't know," he said at last, "I just really don't know if I could play a heavy. I've played heroes all my lie, and now well, it would be like playing Hamlet. It's not that you don't want' to, but you just don't know if you could. I've never seriously considered it." In He sipped from a mug of.

black coffee, "It wouldn't be in character, would it? he said! "The a r.t character usually isn't aggressive enough to be a bad guy," Stewart mused. "It's all he can manage to be the good guy. He'd rather just plod along, getting through life without too much commotion; but somehow he stumbles into a dangerous situation and has to get out. "That's the kind of character I play in 'Firecreek' a part-time sheriff who gets paid two bucks a month and doesn't want to shoot out nothing with nobody." The Same Type That was also the kind of character in "Rear Window." -wasn't it? "Right." Stewart said. "The guy who has a broken leg, and discovers a crime by accident-He gets involved against his" better judgment.

For his trou- bles, he gets another broken leg. Some hero." As Stewart spoke, his voice fell into the famous drawl. It is not an act. It is the way Stewart talks, and it is catching. After five minutes with him, you're likely to discover to your embarrassment, that you're doing a Jimmy Stewart imitation.

He Wonders, Too "Don't let it bother you," Stewartsaid, times I wonder if I'm doing a Jimmy Stewart imitation myself. All of this "he waved vaguely at the suite" wasn't ptenned. I'm a lazy person. By nature I would have planned a quieter life. I don't act.

I react." John Wayne said something like that about westerns once; that they were divided into action and reaction. In the- action Western, the hero says, let's chase them down. In the reaction Western, the hero says, let's make a plan "I make plans," Stewart -said. "I think my strength on the screen is that I can react. When you think about "Rear Window," you'll remember my role largely consisted of reacting.

First Hitchcock would show what I was seeing through my binoculars: Then he'd show my face, and I'd reflect what I saw. I spent an astonishing amount of time looking into the camera and being amused, afraid, worried, curious, embarrassed, bore'd, the works." Cuts a Sweet Roll He divided a sweet roll into four parts, selected one, and washed it down with more coffee. "You know what the real mystery is? he said.
