Will Chamberlain inherit
Charlton Heston mantle?
NANCY ANDERSON
HOLLYWOOD — Since
!:els Chamberlain played
Nth an effective Count of
Monte histo in the television
drama of that name, adding
the role to an imposing list of
costume interpretations
("Hamlet," "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac,' etc.) it seemed rea-
sonable to ask whether he's
the new Charlton Heston.
Is he the actor most likely
to be put into leotards, a toga
or a suit of mail whenever a
period picture begins cast-
Dick took the question with
good humor.
"It wouldn't be bad to in-
herit Charlton Heston's man-
tle," he laughed, "but I don't
think I'm going to. I like to
Imp bouncing.
"But I do seem to be able to
wear costumes, and that's a
knack which involves, I think,
being a romantic.
"I firmly believe that I'll
find Merle Oberon standing in
the heather and that the
world will be a better place
for it.
"My favorite costumes are
Edwardian. That was a stun-
ning period. The clothes were
heaven. It was a very sexy
time."
Though Dick is currently
considering offers of another
costume picture as well as
another television drama in
costume, he points out that
be's also been offered a con-
temporary picture and his
most recent film, "The Tow-
ering
owering Inferno," is set in the
present.
"And I've been asked to do
a horror play on Broadway,"
Dick adds.
Dick didn't have to learn to
wear costumes. He came by
that naturally. But he did
have to learn fencing for his
numerous period perform-
ances.
"The first time I had to
fence was in 'Hamlet,'" he
relates, "and I found fencing
massively difficult.
"Now " I da it more easily,
but I still pant a little."

M. Drapeau's little game
amem..000ii"
I think we'll all agree that there
is nothing quite so downright
miserable and annoying as the
persop who delights in saying, "I
told yeal so." Certainly, all mar-
ried men will agree with me.
Most of us know perfectly well
that we are poor little lambs who
have lost our way, that we have
feet of clay and bones for brains.
But we hate being reminded of it.
It seems to me that there is
nothing?mgre red indant than to
wake up with a hafagover, mouth
full of the bottom of a birdcage,
head full of porcupine quills, and
have a smirking, self-satisfied
voice grating "Well, I warned
you, but you wouldn't listen to
me."
Who needs it? Who needs a
post-mortem, when he is still
alive, though barely? I speak not
from experience, of course, but
from hearsay. Not admissible in
court.
After that preamble, I have to
admit that I told you so. I told the
whole nation so. But nobody lis-
tened.
It must have been a couple of
years ago, when I warned, in no
uncertain terms, that the rest of
us were going to be picking up the
tabs for Napoleon Drapeau's be-
lief that he is really a reincarna-
tion of the infamous emperor.
Or maybe it's Caesar he thinks
he is. Certainly he is giving us
members of the populace bread
and circuses, as Caesar «: sd.
Mighty light on the bread and
heavy on the circuses.
II said it right here, in black and
wlite, that the mayor of Montre �
was going to take us for a fast
buggy -ride, when he got the
Olympic Games. For Canada?
Don't be silly. For Montreal.
The handwriting is now on the
wall, loud and clear. And as fast
as M. Drapeau rubs it off, or licks
it off with his eloquent labial
organ, it reappears.
It seems inevitable that you
and me, sistern and brethren, are
going to be picking up a big, fat
tab for the 1976 Montreal Games.
And games is the word, if the
Olympics consist of running in
ever -decreasing circles until you
disappear up your own you -know -
what.
Let's not blame it on the con-
struction strikes m Montreal.
Let's not blame it on inflation.
Let's blame the $300 million
dollar deficit (and who knows
how much more?) on the delu-
sions of grandeur of the rolyiest-
polyiest' con man since P. T.
Barnum made that immortal
statement: "Never give a sucker
an even break."
Hank Bourassa of Quebec and
Pete Trudeau of Ottawa knew
they were dealing with a greased
eel when they tangled with
Drapeau, but all they did was
make polite political noises, as-
suring the suckers that it wasn't
going to cost more than maybe
seven cents each put on this
extravagoraana.
Some of us, those possessing
the gift, and a memory, knew
perfectly well that we were going
to be reamed like an old pipe, but
they wouldn't listen.
Oh, well, what ,. the hell. A
prophet is without honor in his
own country. You in your small
corner, and I in mine.
My severest critic of my point
of view is not my wife, as is most
often the case. She thinks the
Games are something the teen-
agers play down at the Olympia
restaurant. The only connection
is that the proprietors of the
Olympia are Greek.
No, my chief opposition comes
from my assistant department
head, which only confirms my
long -held view that she is bigoted,
thick-headed, disloyal to her
chief, and a lousy shuffleboard
player.
Her argument goes like this:
"The Olympic Games are for all
of Canada. Why shouldn't all
Canadians help pay for them?"
Well, she's all wet, in which she
wouldn't weigh 85 pounds, soak-
ing.
Nobody asked me if I wanted
the stupid Olympic Farce in
Canada. And even though I
wasn't asked, I said NO.
By me, the Olympic Games

If Mayor Drapeau had shown
any desire to clean up Montreal,
which has the worst slums, the
worst sewage system, probably
the highest crime rate in Canada,
I'd buy a whole ten4dollar lottery
ticket, instead of splitting one 40
ways. He's not interested. He
wants coliseums, palaces, and
probably wouldn't object to a few
graven 'images of himself scat-
tered about the city.
Did you notice that when the
Olympic Committee was on the
edge of the abyss, looking into it,
there• wasn't exactly a scramble
among the world's nations to pick
up the tab?
The only tentative offer was
from the Arab swingers, who are
in similar circumstances to the
old lady who lived in a shoe. They
have so many barrels they don't
know what to do. Admitted, bar-
rels are better than children
these days, but there's a limit.
Say. Pardon me for a moment.
Just had a thought. Those Arabs fit
are buying up practically any-
thing these days. Wonder if
they'd be interested in some fine
moose pasture I own up north.
Used to be called mining stocks.
Probably not. However, maybe
they'd take a flyer on a pure-
bred hybrid cat. Half wolf, half
pig. And by golly, the price is
right. This gem, this jewel, this
loving, lovable creation is going
for four quarts of oil and a
one -billionth share in the Holy
Old Eruption Oil Company.
Now, how did I get away off
here in the oil fields? Let's see.
Trudeau, oily. Bourassa, oilier.
Drapeau, oiliest. •
