'Animal
House'
Legacy
By VERNON SCOTT
UPI Hollywood Reporter
HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - Tim
Matheson exploded to fame
overnight in "National Lam-
poon’s Animal House" as the
most attractive of the slobs that
rambled through the college
humor wreckage.
Although he’d been acting
since childhood, until "Animal
House" Matheson had failed to
connect with audiences.
It’s enormous success
brought him to the attention of
producer Steven ("E.T.") Spiel-
berg who cast him in a major
role in "1941,” Spielberg’s only
bomb.
Even so, the handsome,
athletic Matheson survived. His
dark good looks and youthful
demeanor continued to attract
producers’ attention.
Disney Studio plucked Mathe-
son from the wreckage of
"1941" to co-star witt Don
Knotts and Tim Conway in
"The Apple Dumpling Gang
Rides Again," which crashed
and burned.
Then 20th Century-Fox
starred him with Jack Warden
and Susan Blakely in
"Dreamer," bomb three.
Matheson hung in there,
starring in MTM’s first feature
film, "A Little Sex" and HBO’s
"Bus Stop."
With fewer feature films in
production, Matheson turned to
TV, starring with Kate Jackson
in "Listen To Your Heart," a
two- hour CBS romantic comedy
to be telecast this season.
Currently, Matheson is star-
ring with Catherine Hicks in
"Tucker’s Witch," a new
sitcom, which finds itself
slotted against "Dynasty," one
of the top 10 Nielsen shows, and
old favorite "Quincy."
Luck, apparently, is not one of
Matheson’s strong points.
“It’s not easy for a new show
to crash prime time and stay
there," he said, philosophically.
"Three out of four new shows
are cancelled. Maybe it’s nine
out of 10.
"But there’s some hope.
Networks are sticking with
some new shows despite low
ratings, like ‘Hill Street Blues’
and •Fame.’”
"Tucker’s Witch,” deals with
husband and wife detective
team. Mrs. Tucker is blessed
with hit-or-miss powers to
make inanimate objects move
and precognition, neither of
which help the Tuckers solve
crimes.
The hour-long series com-
bines a little of "Mr. and Mrs.
North" with "Hart to Hart"
with a touch of "I Dream of
Jeannie.”
Matheson is resigned to the
inevitability of "Tucker’s
Witch" being wiped out by
"Dynasty" in the ratings but
thinks it may top "Quincy," if
their first head-to-head ratings
are any indication.
"We beat ‘Quincy’ and it’s
been on the air seven years,"
Matheson said. "Being opposite
Dynasty’ isn’t that bad. It’s
better than going into an open
time slot and having CBS
expect us to win it.
"It’s okay being an underdog
and not having to be number
one in our time slot. All we
have to do is make a good
showing and take second. The
network likes our concept and I
think it will hang in there with
us."
Matheson is no stranger to
television. "Tucker’s Witch" is
his fourth venture into episodic
series.
A decade ago he spent a year
each as a regular in "Bonanza"
and “The Virginian." Thereaft-
er he co-starred with Kurt
Russell in "The Quest," a
series that Matheson would like
to forget.
"Tucker’s Witch’ hasn’t set-
tied down yet," he said. "TV
shows don’t have the luxury of
out-of-town tryouts like Broad-
way shows. You don’t have a
chance to find your stride
before they drop you right into
a competitive situation.
"The show is improving
every week but I think we’re
only about 65 percent of what
we will be in the future.
"I enjoy making feature
films, but I’d rather be in a
good TV series than mediocre
movies.
"Right now it’s important for
me to keep busy. I played
Pertruchio in ‘The Taming of
the Shrew’ in Austin (Texas)
and last summer I did 'Nude
With Violin’ at the Williams-
town (Mass.) theater with
Eileen Heckart.
"Anything is better than
sitting around waiting for the
right movie to come along. I
lose my edge when I'm sitting
around the pool not working. I
look for the best available
property and take it."
Suit Filed In
Popcorn Case
DENVER (UPI) — A couple
filed a $400,000 suit against a
theater that had them thrown
out and arrested fordisturbing
the peace because they took
their own popcorn to a movie.
David R. Schulz was acquit-
ted of disturbing the peace in a
jury trial last March. A Denver
County judge ruled there was
not enough evidence to bring a
similar charge against his wife,
Mary Lou.
In their lawsuit, the couple
claimed they were removed
from the Tamarac Theater
Nov. 21, 1981, by employees.
They said the policy of Mann
Theaters Corp, subjected them
to malicious prosecution, false
arrest and slander.
The Schulzes said they took
their own popcorn into the
theatre because they do not like
popcorn sold at theaters. They
denied assertions they dis-
turbed other patrons, claiming
they refused to leave the
theater only after employees
refused to refund their money.
Schulz was handcuffed, car-
ried out of the theater and
jailed for five hours after

•During my administration the Perry Improvement Fund was
established for revenue from the city's oil production money.
Many city improvements have been made possible from this fund
without asking for tax financing or bond issues.
•If you will permit me to serve as your Mayor again, I will continue
i the street improvement program and expand the work as funds are
I available.
) • It is my plan to upgrade the water distribution and treatment needs
1 as funds are available.
•During my previous term, the city built and paid for an extensive
electric expansion and line loop out of available funds without
additional tax or need for a bond issue.
Perry needs the 6 years of experience which I can use to
solve many of our problems, keep our finances at a responsible
level and restore sound government to Perry.
