Bill Smiley
My movie career
Several Items this week, none
of them large enough to write a
cOlutnn about, but each of them of
atu h vital iitnportance to the state
Of the: world that they must not be
ignored.
Germany: a couple of left-
overs. Prostitution is legal there.
In Kaiserslautern, there's a
rather bleak four -storey building.
Probably financed by American
aid. It is a (uh, shall we say?)
house of ill repute.
In their rude and licentious
way, the soldiery call it, "Four
floors of whores", which has a
nice echoic ring to it. But what
caught my .eye, at 11 a.m., was
the huge neon sign on top of the
building. It read, "SEX MIT'
heart". The word heart was not
spelled out, but represented by a
huge, red, Valentine -type heart,
in neon. A nice touch.
Another place in the same city
was "Harry's". He has a good
gimmick, which I'd like to see
Eaton's or Simpsons adopt. It is a
clip joint for suspecting North
Americans. There are no Ger-
mans in the place. But you can
buy anything from a Hummel
figurine to a vast, lousy painting.
However, his gimmick getsem.
When you walk in the door, you
are offered a coke, a coffee or a
beer. And when you leave, you
are offered a free gift; comb,
nail -file, plastic car -key -holder,
something. It's chicken stuff, but
it's smart. In a lot of Canadian
Stores, all you are offered is a
slice of cold shoulder,
Trees. The Germans treat their
trees as we would roses. They are
carefully husbanded - and even
wifed - and produce the expectant
harvest. They are then cut up as
carefully as bread. We whack
ours down and burn them.
Not that I'd want to live in Ger-
many. Who wants to live in a
country where the trains run on
time, and highways signs say
something as vulgar as Aus-
farten?

MOVIES: Recently I was
involved in the ,making of a
movie. I am here to declare, by
the Grace of God, that I do not
now, or ever, want to be a movie
star, a supporting actor, or an
extra.
You guessed it. I was an extra.
Unpaid. I spent a beautiful spring
afternoon running up and down
hills, shouting, "Get him! Kill
him! Hang him!", in a soldier's
uniform, and brandishing a stout
club.
Why I, as a soldier, was
carrying a club, instead of a
musket, I don't know, but extras
DON'TTHROW IT AWAY, we
buy old furniture, complete
households and estates. Givens a

don't question DeMille, de t ?
Trouble was with the r
that we extras didn't know what
the hell was going on. We p. ted
up and down the hills, ,got .slapped
in the eye by willow switcbee, and
jumped over logs, waving our
clubs menacingly. It was pretty
exciting. The first time.
Then we did it over and over
again, because someone had tort.
gotten to take off the swills ,,
or the watch. It was a period
piece, and the beer cans and coke
bottles didn't fit into the 1.
century milieu.
Must admire the cameraman,
though. He climbed about forty
feet into a tree, to take "down'*
shots of us idiots running through,
the woods, yelling, "Kill him! Get
him ! ", and such. Then he lay
under a 'log, shooting up, getting
crotch shots and feet shots as We
did the same thing. Then he
waded into a river (in April) and
did the same thing. Finally, he
ran backwards with a hand
camera while we raced (or stuln-
bled) toward him, shouting the
same stuff. He tripped a couple of
times over trees cut down with a
1974 chain SA' ".
Biggest problem we not to
laugh during shooting (es we call
it).
There la somethingemin n ly
hilarious about. it Wit%
middle-aged pew, some
Of
them with hernia and heart at-
tacks, walking back up a _hill' for
the fifth time, in order .to ;e
running down it again, blecauze
some silly ass had cried, in the
excitement, "Go get him, Mike!"
instead of "Kill!' Knill;!" and the
sound man .bad picked up the
modern expression.
DEPRESSION: Not the psy-
chiatric kind, the economic kind.
I feel it in my bones. There's a big
depression coming. Jolly good, is
what I say. We"haven't had a do-
cent depression in this country
for years.
There's almost a desire•for one.
The kids, of course, don't even
know what one is. Heard a girl
say today to another, "Vu gotny
money?" Theother replied,
"Yabudy. Yabudy goddagetsum
cigrets." Priorities.
But the old folks know. In fact,
they almost have a nostalgia for
it. They brag *bout it. LumPY
porridge instead of Krfnhly
Krunchies Hamburger, two
pounds for two -bits. Mailmen
working and creed Med to have
a job. Railwaynnen ditto.

Loot Years. And i didn't feel they
were lost. Ask anyone. If you can
