NEWS ITEM TAKEN FROM "THE HERALD DISPATCH" - LOS ANGELES



"JUST GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE - Warner Brothers Pictures were astounded when
PRINCE called and requested a meeting with them. He wanted to star(in) and
produce a film that he wrote about a fading musician who uses blackmail and
murder to reach the top again."



"The studio wasn't that excited about working with PRINCE again , but
they are considering the project. If the singer will allow them to have
artistic control, they might be convinced to produce the film under their
banner. Of course, this is something that PRINCE in the old days would never
go for - but since he is so anxious to be recognized as a motion picture
force, he might bend a little ,and accept the Warner
Bros. terms" (E N D)



ok , let me set this one up.... I came across this local Los Angeles
newspaper named the "HERALD DISPATCH", its a small 5-6 page 'Black'
community circular thats published weekly on thursdays . there is a
column in this publication called 'MICHAEL ST. JOHNS CONFIDENTIAL FILE", i
believe its a syndicated gossip column that carried in many other small
'black' newspapers across the U.S. This paper is well respected for its
journalism,and reputable- it is in no way tabloid-ish!! i wish i could put
up a link to this article , but unfortunately, they dont have a web site
up.
