"I confronted Bob with this and he said: Well Ali had something to do with finding ta just the right way: She put him down" the actor recalled "Paper Moon" was filmed in Hays Kan and St Joseph Mo Tatum seems to have enjoyed herself immensely As for the director O'Neal remarked "Paramount wants Peter to do with Tatum He doesn't want to do it 1 don't think he ever wants to work with Tatum Anyway says O'Neal "Paper Moon" will be Tatum's farewell appearance until she grows up "I've seen what has happened to child stars" he remarked "And I saw what they did to kids when I was in Place' said O'Neal who first attracted notice in the long-run television serial we had babies in the scenes they cried so much you couldn't hear the dialogue So the kids were given sedatives to shut them up They were simply knocked out "Once we had a scene in which the baby was supposed to cry The baby was knocked out with sedatives so what did they do? They stuck pins in the kid's foot so it would yell" Tatum is the child or O'Neal and his first wife actress Joanna Moore It's an odd name for a girl haby but it came from Miss Moore's Southern family O'Neal went along with it at that time Goose Tatum the basketball player was an idol of mine" Tatum's parents divorced and O'Neal saw little of his daughter during her early years He remarked with a note of irony: "But die could see me three times a week on Place' And to think that for a year I was suspected of murder Not a very good image for a father" Last year O'Neal took over custody of Tatum When school is out in June she will join him in England where he expects to be working six months on a film with Stanley Kubrick By BOB THOMAS LOS ANGELES (AP) Acton have been warned against playing scenes with dogs and children but when the scene ealer is your daughter how can you resist That is at least a partial explanation by Ryan O'Neal concerning why he costars with his 9-year-old daughter Tatum in "Paper Adhering to tradition she steals the picture from him although advance reviewen gave him plaudits too "Paper Moon" is a new film by Peter Bogdanovich who became a major director with "The Last Picture Show" and "What's Up Doc?" Ryan O'Neal is a smooth-talking con man of the 1930s Midwest and Tatum plays a daughter who can out-coraiive him Not bad casting O'Neal is no con man but he knows from hard experience how to survive in the Hollywood jungle As for Tatum her father admitted that she is somewhat more than a handful The blond actor told how he and his the property: anyway it's only a small percentage' Small percentage! She ended tg getting a million dollars "1 told him I was quitting the tour 'You can't do that' he said I can' 1 said And I Bogdanovich finally convinced Evans to patch up the feud with O'Neal and the actor was cast for "Paper Moon" Bogdanovich's production designer Polly Platt suggested Tatum O'Neal for the part of Addie Pray heroine of the novel by Joe David Brown "Are you sure you'd want to work with Tatum?" O'Neal asked Bogdanovich "You know or course she's 8 going on 18" The director came to O'Neal's beach house and Tatum knew that she was being considered for a film "She treated Peter Director dictates his own TATUM O'NEAL WITH FATHER RYAN IN MOON Corpus ENTERTAINMENT AND FEATURES SUNDAY JUNE 3 1973 ENTERTAINMENT: 1-4 BOOKS ART: 5 TRAVEL: 6 Show" won an Academy Award his "Targets" made money and up also showed a large profit The young director created that title The movie was made from a book called "Addie Pray" by its author Joe David Brown title means Bogdanovich said bluntly Paramount (Paramount Pictures financed the movie under its new directors' company consisting of Rngdunovich Francis Ford Coppola and Billy Fricdkin) wanted to keep the original title 1 told them I wouldn't make the movie "Not that the Paramount people were being mean It was just that they were thinking of the 125000 people who'd read the book But if I made a movie for 125000 people that would be the world's biggest flop of movie title Moon' doesn't mean anything but I liked it So we wrote a scene to bring in the old song and Paramount said 'Fine' we use much of the book at all But now there's a paperback version of the book undpr the new title and it's selling like holeakes so I wasn't Bogdanovich has hardly been wrong in any of his calculat ions He used the book's characters and the situation for "Paper Muon" and he worked with screenwriter Alvin Sargent for several months before he began shooting the movie Sargent says the director created most of the imjxrtant sequences in the movie Other scenes were created by Bogdanovich "Paper Moon" is about a girl of 9 fatherless the daughter of a bar-girl a lone wise child seeking her real father and thinking she's found him in Moses Ray a Bible salesman and con-man who turns up for her funeral The child wonderfully acted by Tatum O'Neal the 9-year-old daughter of Ryan O'Neal win plays Moses Pray is an expert con-woman She makes herself indispensable to Moses who uses her skills without scruple smarter than he is" Bogdanovich says of the character Council terms well he has the advantage because she loves him" Bogdanovich says he Moses is the girl's actual father but hc'a left it open ambiguous in the movie Maybe he Ishimas is maybe not but the child regards 1 her father That can explain the somewhat distasteful sequence in which Addie gets rid of a carnival dancer who has attached herself to the man and the child The girl arranges a $25 assignation for Trixie the dancer and also arranges for Moses to walk in on the event Does Bogdanovich find this episode distasteful? No but he did shoot the following sequence when the girl felt a bit guilty over her trick from the back in order to achieve some distance for the audience make a movie for me not for the he says emphatically the audiences dislikes the $25 episode that doesn't interest me I can believe it happened not endorsing what Addie dies there but 1 don't fed an that corrupt amusing clever and also ambiguous What Addie does comes out of a real impulse But from that point on the movie dors become darker in feeling "I intended the ending to be sad not a happy solution because the worst thing that can happen to Addie is to remain with Moses But she loves him asa father and she must go with him me the ending is intensely sad The child's rejection of a real home for a gypsy life with a con-man foreshadows her doom her repetition of her mother's life But the ending is appropriate for the characters" After making Moon" Bogdanovich has decided a mast important function is to get good performances out of actors This he has done with enormous success in this film "Of course you have to have a good srript to begin with" soys the young but the performances come first Everything else is The performances by O'Neal his daughter and Madeline Kahn as Trixie are what make the movie So again Bogdanovich is right try to feature different sections of the band said the conductor to show the soloists In the past we have had piano solos including in and the Grieg Piano Concerto" Manager of the band is Ferris Arnold who is band director at Carrol High School The concerts which are free to the public are made possible by a grant from the Music Performance rust Find under agreements with the American Federation of Musicians co-sponsored by the City Park and Recreation Dept and Del Mar College The group prepares the show in one rehearsal on Sunday afternoons from 4:30 to 6 pm Persons are encouraged to bring the entire family and possibly something to sit on under the evening sky feel the Bay forms a beautiful background for a Starlight Concert" said Kole "i 'j A By FRANCES TAYLOR Newtiouse News Service NEW YORK Director Peter Bogdanovich at 33 is so successful as a filmmaker that he can dictate terms change movie titles and rewrite books His fifth movie which opened recently and will probably rack up profits comparable to those made by all but one of his works The one exception is a documentary which has not had a commercial showing" is his newest creation His Last Picture SECTION pm Monday through Saturday La Retama Library 503 Mesquite Monday through Friday 9 am to 9 pm Saturday 9 am to 6 pm Sunday 2 to 6 Parkdale Branch Library 4444 Gollihar and Greenwood Branch Library 4044 Greenwood Monday through Thursday 9 am to 9 pm Friday and Saturday 9 amto6pm Dos Patos Gallery Paintings drawings jewelry and ceramics 915 Tancahua 10 am to 4:30 pm Monday through Saturday Frances Carson One-man Show Carriage Square Nursing and Convalescant Center 2322 Morgan sponsored by the Corpus Christi Art Guild Del Mar Student Exhibition Art Gallery Art Department Dd Mar College open during school hours Collector's Corner Antiques and European paintings 603 Staples Monday through Friday 10 am to5 pm June Chambers On exhibit at Memorial Medical Center Cafeteria 2606 Hospital 7 am to 6 pm Janet Stien burger One exhibit at Deux Cine Theatre 4701 Staples La Verna Williams One-man Show Physicians and Surgeons Hospital 4226 Weber Gallery of Art Exhibiting South Texas Sculpture and paintings 618 Elm Rutland 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday Saturday 9 am to 1 pm New Collection by Jerry Seagle -Browning Brothers 2001 Staples Monday through Saturday 8 am to6 pm Bonnie Rose and Sara Von Harvard Exhibiting at St Episcopal Church 600 Bclmeade Parish Hall Monday through Friday 8:30 am to 5 pm Jan Dubose One-man Show Friendly Finance Co 4517 Staples Monday through Saturday 10 am to 5 pm s- 4 A-yV- 1 5 -rt Starlight concerts set daughter happened to do the picture When Bogdanovich proposed O'Neal Paramount production chief Robert Evans replied not!
