McKnight,” he relat­ ed. Wes said, “Can you start on September 1?” Jack Dennett and Strange started on the same day.. That's nearly three years ago. “And I think that my job as announcer for CFRB is the biggest job in Can­ adian radio,” Strange said, in all seriousness. “I’m leaving it because the stage is my first true love. I’m now going to make my profession in the theatre and the movies. I could' have gone to United States, but I’m very pro-British, and I’d never give up my British citizen­ ship. No matter where I -am I shall always be a Canadian. I shall come back to Canada one day. I believe, that Canada is due for a great up­ surge in the arts and the theatre. Canada has some fine talent. They are sincere. They are good. They could hold their own anywhere. Later on I shall bring back to Can­ ada the knowledge gained in Brit­ ain.” As I talked with Cy Strange I felt that I was talking to a future lop movie star. Canadians will wish him good fortune.
