New Mexican receives Hallmark fame
LOS ANGELES (AP) — For a
teen-ager who attends high school
in New Mexico, Neil Patrick Harris
has a rather impressive film career.
He co-starred with Whoopi
Goldberg in “Clara's Heart" and
was in the TV movie “Too Good
1b Be True." with Lonnie Ander-
son and Patrick Duffy.
This Sunday, he co-stars with
Barnard Hughes, Robert Prosky
and Sada Thompson in "Home
Fues Burning," a Hallmark Hall of
Fame presentation on CBS.
He plays Lonnie Tibbeus in this
drama set in a small Southern town
at the end of World War II. Hughes
is his grandfather. Jake Tibbeus,
Ms. Thompson is his grandmother
and Prosky plays Jake's best friend.
“My father s been in the war
since I was a child," Harris said of
his role. “He's coming home. I live
with my grandfather, who’s got a
large grudge against my father. My
mother was killed, and Jake blames
my father for the accident. I’ve
lived with my grandparents most of
my Nfe, and I have to straighten out
things between Jake and my fa-
ther.
Harris was in Los Angeles with
his parents, who are lawyers in Al-
buquerque, to promote the show
and interview for new projects.
They recently moved there from
Ruidoso, N.M.
Unlike a lot of 15-year-olds.
Harris is completely at ease with
people, articulate and seemingly
never at a loss for words.
He described Lonnie as a “quiet,
intelligent boy."
“His Grandpa’s almost his best
friend,” he said. “He’s close with
his family, but confused with his
mother gone and his father in the
war. It affects him greatly. He's
curious, he gets into trouble. He’s
pretty much a normal kid."
“Home Fires Burning" was
filmed on location in Craw-
fordville, Ga.
“It was interesting because of
the accents, the food and the cul-
ture.” he said. “I've been on loca-
tion four times, and each time I had
a different guardian. I think once
Goldwyn: Remake the film flops
was enough for each of them. So
far it’s t»en my mother, father,
grandma and my brother Brian,
who’s 18."
r His first professional job was in
an episode of the syndicated com-
edy series “Throb.” He was also in
a movie called “Purple People
Eater” with Ned BeaUy and Shel-
ley Winters.
“It all began when I was 5 or 6
and living in Ruidoso," he said
"My folks took me to see the na-
tional road show of ‘Annie.’ I fell
in love with it I bought the
soundtrack album and the music
book. I was going to be Annie. All I
needed was a wig.
“I've always loved to watch
plays. Whenever I’m in L.A. I go to
the book stores to buy scripts of the
latest plays. I love plays. I was
John Darling m ‘Peter Pan’ in Al-
buuueruue. I like the spontaneity of
a play. If you mess up, you have to
cover up. And you always mess up
and you cover up and you get ap-
plause every night."
As much as he wants to do a
play. Harris recently turned down
an opportunity to play Jack, of Jack
and the Beanstalk, in the road show
of “Into the Woods." The voice re-
quired was too low for his range
and it would have kept him away
from home for six months.

Associated Press Writer
At a time in the 1950s when Hol-
lywood was indulging in an orgy of
remakes, wise old Sam Goldwyn
observed: “It's foolish lo remake
hiu. You can't make them any bet-
ter than they were. What you
should remake is the flops. Those
you can improve."
Goldwy
wynian theory gels a
Rot
ire application with “Dirty Rotten
counarels,” a*remake of the 1964
The
rare
See
dud, “Bedtime Story." The earlier
film starred David Niven and Mar-
lon Brando as a pair of swindlers
trying to outfox each other on the
French Riviera. The only lesson to
be learned from the movie was that
Marion Brando should not attempt
comedy.
The lesson of “Dirty Rotten
Scoundrels" is that expert players
and production glitter can almost
offset a far-fetched script The film
has some genuinely comedic mo-
ments, and the overall result is
pleasant if not uproarious enter-
tainment
Michael Caine plays one of the
title roles, a polished con man who
poses as royalty and bilks rich
American women who arc eager to
support his homeland's “freedom
fighters." Onto his turf comes
Steve Martin, a gross, nervy
American who somehow manages
to swindle women with equal ease.
Martin blackmails Caine into
teaching him the polish needed to
invade the biglime. Part of the deal
is a bet: The man who first extracts
$50,000 from the next unsuspecting
victim becomes king of the
mountain (which was the first title
of “Bedtime Story").
Along comes a naive American
soap heiress (Glenne Headley) who
is almost too easy a touch for
Caine. The stakes are raised: The
con artist who gets her to bed first
wias the bet. But the soap heiress is
not what she seems, and com-
plications set in.
“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” can
be jolly fun, as long as you don’t
question the logic. Caine's gambit
with the ladies seems amazingly
foolproof. And Martin doesn’t seem
bright enough lo con a kid out of a
lollypop But the two stars are a
delight to watch as they interplay
with disparate comedy styles.
Glenne Hcadly makes a wonderful
foil for both.
Frank Oz (“The Little Shop of
Horrors”) directs with a light touch
befitting the feathery material The
script is credited to Dale Launer as
well as the "Bedtime Story” au-
thors, Stanley Shapiro and Paul
Henning. A major asset of
“Scoundrels” is Miles Goodman's
witty, melodic score.

Declarer's error came at trick four
Rather than discard a low club from
his hand, he should throw the three of
hearts The play will then go as before,
declarer taking the heart finesse and
then playing king and ace of clubs
Now. however, when the remaining
two high spades are cashed declarer
will let go the 10 of clubs from dum
my If East throws a club, declarer
plays a club to the queen and a heart
back to his ace, and his last club is a
winner If East throws a heart, declar
er cashes his heart ace. and East s
king falls making dummy good.

One of the moat famous missing
persons in history. Judge Joseph F
Crater, disappeared on Aug 6. 1030
There were plenty of high-card
points for the no-trump game, but the
nasty opponents began proceedings by
running the first four diamond tricks
On the last diamond declarer threw a
spade from dummy and a club from
his own hand, while East shed a spade
West next led a spade, declarer win-
ning the king in dummy He played a
heart back to his jack and then cashed
the king and ace of clubs Alas. East
had the clubs stopped and the heart
king protected Declarer cashed two
more high spades, hoping a miracle
would happen, but East simply dis-
carded the same suit as dummy
