Everyone is welcome and there is no charge for admission. by Shirley Whittington Santa Claus has been getting a bit of bad press lately, as the patron saint of greed, but The Father Christmas Letters, by J.R.R. Tolkien restores some of the fun and magic that used to be associated with the jolly old elf. Tolkien is best known as the writer of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Their precious blend of whimsy and gentle sensibility has Movie review Bronson back In action incrime thriller 'St.lves Three Days of the Condor by Terry Deupis Charles Bronson is back in action again in a new crime thriller called "St. Ives', which begins tomorrow at the Pen Theatre for three evenings. For those who are wondering about the movie's title, St. Ives is the last name of the character Bronson portrays in the film. Bronson's role seems a little different than usual in this one. He portrays a writer - a former jour- nalist who quit his job with a newspaper to write anovel. But St. Ives' book is coming along badly and he sees a chance to make some easy money when an eccentric millionaire asks him to deliver a $100,000 ransom for some important ledgers which were stolen. I won't reveal any more of the plot than that, except to add that from here on Bronson becomes involved in assorted fights, shoot-outs and murders. The script is interesting, containing a good combination of wry humour with lots of ac- tion. Charles Bronson does his customary job of entertaining his audience in this latest picture. And although his wife, Jill Ireland surprisingly has no role in St. Ives, the supporting cast is a good one. John Houseman, memorable in The Paper Chase, Rollerball and While your children enjoy a FREE made them classics. Tolkien was a teacher, and a writer, and it ap- pears he had an annual secret life. For twenty years, he wrote long and delightfully _ illustrated letters to his four children from Father Christmas. Sometimes the postman brought them, in unique, hand-decorated envyel- opes, and sometimes Father Christmas himself left them behind on Christmas Eve. Father Christmas' handwriting is a little creates another good characterization in St. Ives as the eccentric millionaire. Lovely Jacqueline Bisset is his mistress and Maximilian Schell portrays a mysterious psychiatrist. All in all, St. Ives is very good Bronson en- tertainment and a worthy and successful follow-up to such previous Bronson flicks as Death Wish, the Mechanic, and Mr. Majestyk. On the same program at the Pen is the latest Clint Eastwood movie, "The Outlaw Josey Wales". In it Eastwood makes a welcome return to westerns, after going modern in Magnum Force, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, and the Eiger Sanction. The Outlaw Josey Wales also marks Clint Eastwood's fourth movie as .a director. He previously directed himself in High Plains Drifter and The Eiger Sanction, and directed William Holden. in Breezy. Eastwood directs himself well in The Outlaw Josey Wales and the rest of the cast too, a cast which includes Chief Dan George, John Ver- non, Sondra Licke jand Sam Bottoms.

The misadventures he describes in his letters are enough to make anyone tremble. Elves put holly in his bed and black ink in the fireplace. His Polar Bear helper falls down the stairs with an armful of parcels and smashes some of them. In 1940, Polar Bear went upstairs for a relaxing bath after wrapping and tagging the parcels for England, and he fell asleep in the tub. Water poured through the set against the background of a typical day at a busy car wash. The film deals with the various characters whose lives touch briefly at the car wash, ranging from the owner of the business and his employees to the owners of the cars. All kids are invited to the Odeon Theatre's ceiling, and swamped everything Then, Goblins invade the north pole, and tunnel their way into the cellar where the presents are Stored. "Polar Bear: boxed one or two flat," writes Father Christmas, "and said some very nasty things to them all."'

In spite of television and air hockey, SCRABBLE = survives There are plenty of Scrabble players about. They are the people who can't start the day until they've done a crossword puzzle with their morning coffee. To all such, I recom- mend the Scrabble Players Handbook, edited by Drue K. Conklin. There's no whimsy here. The subject is taken with the utmost seriousness and readers are warned against not capitalizing SCRABBLE or using the term in a generic sense. People don't play SCRABBLE, they play the SCRABBLE Crossword game. Offenders are threatened with legal action There's a full chapter on rules which are ex- panded considerably from those on the cover of the box.
