Western Carolinian/March 28, 1985 "Lady Hawke" Flies Into Theatres Soon "Etienne Navarre and ksabeauvof Anjou. Their love was stronger than anything that could stand in its way. Until they were betrayed...and the black powers of hell spat up a terrible curse. "She was to be a hawk by day and he--a wolf by night. Only for a split second, at sunrise and sunset, could they almost touch..." More than seven centuries ago, in an age of enchantment and adventure, the dungeons of Aquila were the most notorious in the world. Only one man is said to have escaped their depths...Phillipe Gaston, "Phillipe the Mouse," occupation cutpurse. Wriggling through a narrow drain, then swimming the catacombs, the young thief emerged beyond the city's walls, grateful to God forthe wonder of freedom. More wondrous still was a figure which crossed his horizon...a knight, in black armor, astride a prancing black stallion. Perched on the rider's outstretched arm was a glorious hawk with glinting green eyes. By nightfall, Phillipe would know the pair in a new and frightening way...when the bird became the bewitched maiden, Isa beau, and the nobleman's form changed to that of a prowling wolf. "Ladyhawke," A Lauren Shuler Production and A Richard Donner Film for Warner Bros, release, stars Matthew Broderick, Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer. Leo McKern, and John Wood and Ken Hutchison co-star in the legendary adventure, directed by Donner and produced by Lauren Shuler and Donner from the screenplay by Edward Khmara, Michael Thomas and Tom Mankiewicz. Harvey Bernhard is executive producer. Music composed and conducted by Andrew Powell. The story of the lovers, fated to be "always together, eternally apart," has its origins in the 13th century. It has since been retold in countless forms, from paintings on the walls of the Mausturm Castle in the Rhine Valley to the "loupgarou" legend of France's Auvergne Forest to the fables of the beloved Spanish storyteller, Rodriguez de la Fuente. For his version, director Donner went as far back as he could into medieval mythology, striving in cinematic terms for the "blend of mysticism and reality" with which the minstrels of the Dark Ages enlightened their audiences. "What attracted me to 'Ladyhawke' is that it's an impossible love story which is ultimately resolved," says Donner. "It's adventurous, outrageously romantic and pure escapism, which I prefer to films which set out to show how dull everyday life is...and generally succeed." Classifieds As in the French...and other versions...of the myth, the spell is ;ast by a corrupt and powerful churchman. Portrayed by John Vbod, who starred on Broadway n "Death Trap" and "Amadeus," ,t?e Bishop of Aquila is not a man given to Christian mercy. Spurned in his passion for Isabeau, determined that if he cannot possess her, no man will, he strikes "an unholy bargain with the Evil One." Now, two years later, he moves through the vast stone Cathedral of Aquila like a wraith, cbVnforted only by the cries that drift, like smoke, from his dungeons below. One of those cells is the temporary residence of Phillipe Gaston, whose size has earned him the nickname "the mouse" and whose crimes have earned him a sentence of death. Unlike the Bishop, "the mouse" has a cordial relationship with his Maker. As he slithers through the sewers, he swears that if God will only guide the way, he will never steal another purse. If not, there will be no hard feelings. Phillipe is played by Matthew Broderick, the video wizard of "WarGames," who starred and won a Tony Award on Broadway in Neil Simon's "Brighton Beach Memoirs." That script also called for witty asides. "But 'Ladyhawke' is different," Broderick points out. "In Brighton Beach,' I turned to the audience, almost as a nervous habit. And since the audience changed every night, so did our 'conversations.' "In this story, I'm a bit of a con artist, reasoning with myself by talking to.God. I know that the Bishop's troops have orders to kill me on sight, if only to protect the prison's perfect record...that no one is released, except to the hangman." The knight Navarre, cares little that his traveling companion is on speaking terms with God. There are other reasons why the i thief seems heaven-sent. For two years, Navarre has sought a way to f enter Aquila, catch the Bishop unaware and take revenge. If a "mouse" can get out of the labyrinth beneath the city, a "mouse" can get back in. Phillipe would undertake the mission, he assures Navarre, were he not a common criminal, unworthy of the honor. On the other hand, he admits, as a sword whistles past his head and cleaves a nearby tree, perhaps his answer was too hasty. The journey to Aquila takes the trio--knight, thief and hawk- across an ever-changing terrain, from lowland marshes to rolling meadows of winter wheat to glacial mountain passes. The only constant is danger as they penetrate deeper into the Bishop's domain. The courtyard of a friendly pub becomes a place of ambush... a peasant hovel hides a man-and- wife who augment their meager earnings by butchering travelers... a forest floor is set with traps by a wolf hunter who matches his prey in cunning and appearance. But it is an aimless arrow, shot by one of the Bishop's bowmen, which threatens to end Police Academy 2 Seal the manhole covers! Send those Beverly Hills cops scurrying back to Gucci's! Innocent bystanders take cover! That Police Academy crew in blue is back and coming on like gangbusters in "Police Academy 2: Their First Assignment," a Warner_Bros. release. Having outgrossed almost all other movie comedies (SI56.5 million worldwide to date, and still going strong), the raw recruits of "Police Academy have graduated to a new high in everything from crime to hilarity as they band together once more to protect and serve a city where no one is safe, particularly from them. Paul Maslansky, producer of the Warner Bros, release, can be credited for starting it all. The concept for the original was born when a bunch of cops guarding a film location Maslansky was overseeing did their jobs so poorly, only Maslansky's sense of humor came to the rescue. That occasion inspired the idea of a comedy about a big city police force that let down all barriers for eligibility. The result, which proved to be an open call for oddballs, created sheer pandemonium—on the force and in theatres everywhere. And now, the ink still wet on their diplomas, and most of them still wet behind the ears, these raucous rookies are on the prowl in "Police Academy 2: Their Inst Assignment." directed b\ Jerry Paris—acclaimed for guiding two smash television series through their paces-'"! he Dick Van Dyke Show" (96 segments) and "Happy Days" (all 255 segments over 1 I seasons)—with a screenplay by Barry Blaustein and David Sheffield, who honed their humor writing tor "Saturday Night Live." The result is a high-speed pursuit of laughs, as the fledgling crime fighters attempt to thwart a gang of spray-paint terrorists' whose relentless graffiti has brought a city to its knees. Cooke Art Exhibit In Chelsea Cullowhee—An exhibition of oils, acrylics and mixed-media works by S. Tucker Cooke will be displayed April 2-May 12 in the Chelsea' Gallery of Hinds University Center at Western Carolina University. The exhibition will open with a reception at 7 pm Tuesday. April 2.

A member of Who's Who in American Art, Cooke earned a bachelor of fine arts degree at Stetson University and a master of fine arts degree at the University of Georgia. . "In my work I am constantly searching for balance—of light and shadow, figure and non-figure, real and unreal, intuition and deliberai on.'.' Cooke says. If one aspect ovei whelms another, the battle begins and in this respect the visual surface becomes a playing field of mystical elements with no set rules except my own. Ther is no winning or losing: the playing continues until the balance surfaces, the piece with its battle sears emerges intact."

He is brother Imperius, the drunk, disheveled friar—and sole occupant-of a ruined abbey atop a craggy mountain peak. It was he who betrayed the lovers to the Bishop. Now he will use a magic which1 extends beyond medicine to make amends. If only Navarre and Isabeau will listen...he has found a moment in time when night and day are one and evil consumes itself.
