And Charley Parlanna keeps the honor of Brooklyn Mafia monarchs The Prizzis. close to his heart right beside his gun. Prizzi's Honor, now at the Frederick Mall. is a bizarre comedy about Mafia hit man Charley Partanna (Jack Nicholson) who falls in love with Irene Walker (Kathleen Turner), a gor- geous LA. blonde who just happens to be his female counterpart. Partanna is ehforcer for the Prizzis, one of the richest crime syndicates in the couhtry. _ Irene Walker is a freelance killer secretly contracted to 'ice' or eliminate someone who betrayed the Prizzis. But Family politics are so convoluted that poor Charley doesn't know who this Walker woman is until after the Mexican marriage vows. Walker is well-briefed on Partanna, but is unaware of the Don's outcast daughter Maerose Prizzi, a dishonorable family member, and garish black widow, who is still in love with Partanna. and will do anything she can to dissolve his gangland union. Writers Richard Condon and Janet Roach adapted Prizzi's Honor for the screen based on Condon's 1982 smash best-selling novel of the same name. Nicholson and Turner play two professional killers who perform their trade with lethal efficiency - 'no blood'. no muss, no fuss, and then go home for a nice quiet evening. "Condon belongs to the school of 'paranoid surrealism', along with noted wordsmiths, William Burroughs. Joseph Heller, and Thomas "mammmmmmmaa.

Prizzi’s funniest scenes stem from devout seriousness, through the characters in this all-American fairy tale of all-American suc- cess. The film is grotesquely appealing, with a vicious sense of humor and a touch of the sur- real. Every member of the Prizzi mob acts straight with two feet firmly planted in mif-air. - Berger. Charley Pananna is another departure for Jack Nicholson, his Brooklyn 'gangsterese' infectious, as he plays the simple, but earnest son of the Prizzis. He's a Mafioso diamond in the rough, eventually surrendering to the environ ment into which he was born. Of the 40 diversified films in his career, Prizzi‘s Honour is another hit for 'hit man' Nicholson. As Irene Walker, Kathleen Turner is cool, calculating, yet vulnerable, giving her role womanly charm and sophistication. To the strains of Italian music master Puccini, she and her mate execute cold-blooded deeds, with Walker understanding too well the Fami- ly’s attitude to ‘Polack outsiders'. Black sentiment, points of honor, and absurd humor make Prizzis Honour, a slick. and powerful piece reeking of evil but elegant com- posure. The great fun of this film stems from Condon's outrageous dialogue and observations. mixed with John Huston's shrewd direction, and from the Prizzis themselves. , Tradition day camps are a dying breed. The camper of today is no longer satisfied with the customary fun and games that filled their days in the past. These activities are enjoyable, but today's campers want more. They want something different and parents want a camp that will give them the most for their leisure dollar and will prepare their child for the future. And what better represents the future than com- puters'? University of Waterloo Arts Computer Expe- rience 'trs (ACE) is the alternative day camp. Now in its third year of operation, ACE '85 has even more "hands-on" computer time with nine hours of instruction per child each session. Two qualified UW computer students provide, not only game time, but also teach the children basic programming. The camp’s Director, Marian Spieker says. “no matter what past computer experience the campers have had. they will learn helpful skills, geared to their level, and progress toward computer literacy which will undoubtedly help them in school."

Chemtée9oS+ The staff of ACE 'tm recognize the short attention spans of children and have developed a very diverse program that keeps the campers very busy _ and happy. Counsellors guide the children from class to class. Each activity lasts about an hour. Performances by guest artists, daily swim. ming and waterplay activities and a trip to London's Children Museum enrich the pro- gram. A Parents' Night each session gives the children the opportunity to introduce their counsellors, show off their work, and entertain their parents in the UW Theatre with skits and songs prepared during camp. with a 6 to l sttadentio staff ratio, the campers are always well supervised and receive a great deal of individual attention. it's a camp with a difference. Fees are $100 or $175 a session (depending on where the Civic holidays fall) and there is still some limited space available in two of the sessions for T to 12 year old children. new: to m: Sumner Stock arrangement are8taatdareavattattheatthedoor,'Pieesa st.E.6ereist_eatir-N-eeertrto avoid ‘!:;rtm. play to Ttee-tt a different angle to the nudi-
