The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-10-27, Page 32PAGE 10A—GODERICH SIGNAL -STAR. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27,1982. Round.- 'n' About with Martha Reithburni Martha Rathhurn I want to tell you a bit about an interesting, busy man named Les Kimber of Calgary, Alberta. Les is the son-in-law of a very nice lady many of you know - Irene Sparks - wife of Ross Sparks now (deceased). Les is married to Joyce, Irene's beautiful daughter. Les Kimber, production manager on the movie "Mother Lode" has had over 20 years experience in most capacities of film production in Canada and the United States. A partial list of his credits both as production manager and associate producer includes: "Death Hunt" starring Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson", "To Elvis with Love"; Paramounts "Ski Lift. to Death"; "Locusts"; Dino. De Laurentis'. "ORCA"; "Buf- falo Bill and the Indians"; "Superman", on which Kimber served as produc- tion manager on the Cana- dian unit; "Pioneer Woman", starring William Shatner; "Prime Cut", star- ring Lee Marvin; "Amber Waves" produced by TIME LIFE FILMS, starring Den- nis Weaver, and "Wild Horse Hank" starring Linda Blair and Richard Crenna. • Les told Fred Haencker of the Calgary Herald in an. interview: As 'production manager 1 would make deals for the land, organize the hotel situation and hire the technical crew. I'm also responsible for the day to day running of • the production and the setting up of the shooting schedule'." • Movie making is a glamorous occupation and Les Kimber• is one of only half a dozen or so, motion picture. production managers' in Canada. He spends a lot of time an- swering questions on movies and "live",Theatre. A native Calgarian, he started as an actor in the mid 1950s and discovered there was a shortage of technical, people' while he toured with . the stage productions . in Canada and. the United States. In .early 1960, he returned to Calgary to work - as producers Stage manager and actor for the 'Allied Arts' Centre, the "MAC 14 ' Society" and finally. "Theatre Calgary". His. first feature film, Naked—•._Flames"_.. vas. a. Canadian picture shot in the • area of Cosmore, over 20 years ago. • "I ended up as prop manager", sajrs Les, "that movie went down the drain." "At one point we had to MOVE the interior of the `Paris Tea Room, QUT of Banff, overnight." • Kimber was involved in more than 300 stage plays but found movies gave more scope. "With a motion picture, the whole world is a stage", he says. He kept in touch with films and corking locally, • produced travelogues, but it "wasn't until 1969 that Arthur Penn's "Little Big Man' gave him a chance, to break into major features, as Most of this was t,shot in the foothills west of Calgary. As manager. of Canadian .productions, he learned many 'tricks of the trade' from the picture's overall production managers: 15n Hollywood "productions, one worked with some of the best technicians • in the world. Th'ir ing bac% on some of the- -movies, e--movies, Kimber said -the Canadian film, 'Wild Horse Hank', with Linda Blair, - finished up in Dinosaur Provincial Park and Nevada, U.S.A.-In the block- buster "Superman", an old" farmhouse in Blackie, Alberta functions as the "Man of Steel's' boyhood home.
