Joe Jackson’s. Body and Soul stand out

It may not be his moat
commercial work to date,
but Joe Jackson's Body
and Scull (A and M
Records) stands out from
his seven-album

catalogue fo its keen.

sense of sophistication
and broad-based appeal.

It’s a coup of sorts for
Jackson, a product of
Britain’s new wave
movement who only three
oe four years ago was
Bpinning his wheels in
frustration over what he
saw as a rock 'n’ roll
wasteland. Shucking all
sense of pop convention,
he emerged with an
album of ’403 swing, and
followed up a year later
with his excellent Night

Mafia

CHICAGO (AP) — Her
childhood Santa ‘Claus
was played by a loan
shark. Her first lover was
a family priest. And her
daddy was a mob kingpin.

Antoinette Giancana
says that's what growing
up was like as the
daughter of Sam (Momo)
Giancana, a man
described .by crime
experts as the most
powerful mobster since
Al Capone.

As Giancana’s
daughter, she luxuriated
in the world of Mafia
privilege and power:
Paris fashions, Las Vegas
nightclubs and Hollywood
celebritles.

But Antoinette
Giancana was daring.
And she says she paid for
her indiscretions.

Beatings from her
father. A back-room
abortion. Suicidal moods.
Shock treatments in a

mental hospital. And
ostracism from her
family.

Now, Giancana, 48, is
rebelling once again,
breaking a Mafia code of
silence. This time, she’s
on the road promoting her
book, Mafia Princess:

Catholic church

ROME (AP) — The
Roman Catholic Church
is increasingly turning to
advertising and other
publicity campaigns to
attract men to the
priesthood,

Dioceses and -religious
orders have put up
billboards, taken out
advertisements in
magazines and
newspapers and
organized conventions to
recruit young men.

The message is driven
home by Pope John Paul,
who makes a point during
his foreign travels of
asking families to
“contribute a son to the
church,”

The Vatican’s most
recent statistics show
there were 413,600 priests
among the world’s 790
million Roman Catholics
at the end of 1980, a drop
of 12,000 since 1975.

and Day, a release which :

was remarkable for {ts
percussion-heavy~ rich
textures and its total lack
of guitars.

Jackson back-pedals a
little on Body and Soul to
engage ina limited return
to the pop norm. But the
album is dominated by
his clear love for more

vintage ~—- and more
-highbrow — musical
devices, Including

elements of jazz, salsa
and even classical music,

Body and Soul is neither
a rock album nor a work
ag drastically opposed as
his Jumpin’ Jive exercise
in swing. Rather, it’s an
intelligent blend of old
and new.

He acknowledges
contemporary forms with
his funky You Can't Get
What You Want (Till You
Know What You Want)
and the popish Go For It
and Happy Ending, But
he scores highest with
such weightler cuts as
The Verdict,
Loco, Heart of Iee and the
beautifully evocative
instrumental Lolsalda.

_ Jackson's vorals have
never been stronger, best
evidenced by his wark on
the ballads Net Here, Not
Now and Be My Number
Two. The latter, moody
and melodic, is a true
gem.

Bardot controversy

OTTAWA (CP) — French actress Hrigitte Bardot,
who devotes much of her time to the protection of
endangered anjmal species, has touched off: an
international incident by donating an ivory bracelet
for a Quebec City auction.

The bracelet, sent to Quebec’s Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is made from the
tusks of elephants — an endangered species.
Producis from elephant ivory are banned from
import into 86 countries under an international treaty
observed by Canada and France.

Bardot, 49, who for years hag publicly opposed the
annual seal hunt off Newfoundland, contributed the
bracelet, valued at $300, to help the society offest its
$96,000-deht.

But the bracelet, which arrived by mail at the
Canadian border Wednesday, was confiscated by
Customs Department officials.

Federal officials in Ottawa will now study Bardot'’s
bauble to determine If it really is ivory.

If it’s fake, it will be turned over to its intended ©
recipient, M.A. Gallup, assistant:deputy minister in
the department sald Saturday.

But if it is real, it could be locked up forever in a
Revenve Department showcase to remind Canadians
of the danger of importing goods fashioned from
endangered animal species.

However, the French government can secure its
release with the appropriate export permit,
accompanied by a Canadian import permit obtained
by the society.

Society president Serge De Beaumon said he has
asked Revenue Minister Pierre Bussieres to help the
group get the bracelet.

De Beaumon sald he is certain Bardot would never
purchace an item made from endangered animais.

"She probably got it (the bracelet) aa a present,
and because it was made out of an endangered
species, decided to give it to us to help animals.”

The society has already postponed its auction,
scheduled for the first week in May, so the matter ¢ can
be cleared up, De Beaumon said.

Technical Oscars:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Research that

led to an improved light source, the fundamental -

ingredient of film production and projection, has been

honored with an Oscar at the Academy of Motion ,

Picture Arts and. Sclences technical awards
nresentation.

The academy presents such awards, often for work.
not readily understandable outside the industry, in
advarice of its annual acting and film awards next
Monday. It cited 11 contributions to motion picture
technology in a ceremony Saturday night.

The Academy Award of Merit went to Kurt Larche
of the OSRAM Research and Development
Laboratories, who developed the :xeénon short-arc

discharge lamp for theatre motion picture projection. .

Continuous development has improved reliability
and light output, and the introduction of lamps that
operate efficiently vertically or horizontally has
made automated projection systems possible, the
academy said.

The Gordon E. Sawyer Award was presented to.

John Frayne for developments in the selence of
motion picture sound.

Plaques for sclentific and engineering awards went
to four men.

Jonathan Erland and Roger Dorney of Apogee Inc.
won for engineering a reverse bluescreen travelling
matte process for special effects photography. Thelr
process reduced costs and gives greater freedom to
film-makers.

Gerald Turpin of Lightflex International Limited
developed an on-camera device for contrast control
and special effects.

Gunnar Michelson was cited for improving an
electronic, highspeed precision light valve for film
printing machines,

Technical Achievement Awards were given to:

— William Krokaugger of Mole-Richardson Co,
who designed a ‘portable 12,000-watt lighting-control
dimmer for projection.

— Charles Watson, Larry Langrehr and John
Steiner for an electro-mechanical fader for use on

_ tontinuous contact printers.

— Elizabeth De La Mare for continuing research
and development of special effects pyrotechnics or
explosives.

— Douglas Fries, Jobn Lacey and Michael Sigrist

for designing a 35-mm reflex conversion camera .

system for special effects photography.

— Jack Cashin of Ultra-Stero Labs Inc. for a four-

sound track reproduction.

— David Degenkolb for designing an automated
silver recoverer for film laboratories.
