United States of America.
Although she was just in
Michigan, it might as well been
halfway around the world. I'm

mOther who frets when her
children are out of sight for a few
days, but this was just a little
different. This time my child was
living with strangers — nice
strangers, . mind you but
nevertheless, strangers,
I began to wonder if they
would understand my darling
daiIJ1t r'— the sweet little
precious dear who loves to make
peanut butter and honey
sandwiches in wee small hours
of the morning and leave the
kitchen counter all sticky and
gooey.
I wondered if they would pick
up the trail of clothes she
invariably leaves strung out
behind her — a sock here, a pair of
unmentionables there, a new
dress crumpled somewhere else.
And would they comprehend
her pack-rat qualities — like
hording a bunch of banana skins
just because they are the right
shade of yellow to go with the
wallpaper?
But more than anything else,
would they be able to appreciate •
her insatiable desire to
accomplish everything all at once.
She's the only youngster I've
known who can dry the dishes,
talk on the telephone, do her
homework, watch television,
listen to the latest album and read
the new issue of Mad magazine all
at the same time. Honestly, this
girl has executive qualities if we
can ever harness all that ability
into one sensible stream of effort.
What got me worrying, of
course, was our daughter's fear
that she might just happen to get
homesick while she was away
from the fold. It has happened
before with her.
When she asked me if her
father and I would come to get
her if she got homesick we told
her we certainly would not. Well,
we couldn't tell her we'd rush
right over the border the moment
she cried a little or felt the
slightest winge of anxiety.

Directors and partial casting
fdr the three premiere
productions at the Avon Theatre
this season have been announced
by Jean Gascon, Artistic
Director of the Stratford
Festival.
Arrabal's The Architect and
the Emperor of Assyria, opening
July 20, will be directed by
Chattie Salaman, who was the
director of the Comedie de
Saint-Etienne production in
France earlier this year. Miss
Salaman—who is the sister-in-law
of actor Alec Guinness—has been
living and working in France for
several years where she has been
associated with the Comedie de
Saint-Etienne. Her most recent
productions for that theatre
include The Beggar's Opera and
Pinter's The Dumb Waiter. This
is her first Stratford Assignment.
Raymond Gerome, the
Emperor in the original Paris
production of the play in 1967,
will have the same role at
Stratford this season, Mr.
gear her for a weeklong stay, If
she went with the idea she was,
staying, no matter what, until her
time was up, we figured it would
be hotter for her.
I don't know. It could be we
prepared her too well for the
event, because to date we have
not heard one word from her.
That's right, There has been not
one single line of correspondence,
nary a telephone call, a telegram
or a message in someone else's
letter. It has been utter and
complete silence.
What does it mean?
Is she so homesick that to
write a letter would be painful
ordeal? Is she so busy she has no
time to think of letter writing? Is
she so happy she hasn't given her
stodgy Canadian parents the
slightest thought? Or has she
written and the letter is lost in the
crazy mixed up postal
department somewhere between
here and there?
Your guess is as good as mine,
But since I'm her mother, I am
the one who is doing the
nail-biting.
Her oldest brother was a big
help. He figures she has fallen in
love with the U.S.A. and wants no
part of the land of the MapleiLeaf
until it is absolutely necessary
again.
"If she wants you to move to
the U.S.A.," our eldest ranted,
"tell her I'm not going. I don't
want to live there and get mixed
up in all those racial riots."
Now I've got something else to
worry about. I just hadn't given
the white-black situation any real
thought until my son brought it
up.
Oh well, tomorrow she comes
home again. It will be-0°d to see
her and get a reading on what's
been going on in that adolescent
brain of hers.' I've missed her, I
guess.

Gerome, a leading actor of both
stage and film in Europe, holds
the Critics' Circle Award as best
actor of the year for his role of
George in Who's Afraid of
Virginia Woolf? in Paris in 1965.
This is his first Stratford
appearance but he has
performed before in Canada,
touring Racine's Britannicus
with- his own company in 1958
and during Expo'67 when he
staged a special presentation at
the French Pavilion. He
appeared during the 1969 season
in Paris in The Martyrdom of
Saint Sebastian.
The Arrabal, play is a
tragi-comic account of the
ramifications resulting from a
confrontation between intellect
and nature. The playwright's
world is peopled with
Chaplin-like figures who play the
game of life with the clown's
innocence but their simplicity
can be deceiving and their view
of the world is always, at the
very least, unusual.
Kurt Reis, Artistic Director
of the Manitoba Theatre Centre,
will direct Arnold Wesker's The
Friends, opening July 22. The
Vienna-born director has been

Theatre in Toronto, associate

Anyone who thinks that folk
music is a thing of the past and
that young people today only
want rock, rock, and more rock,
would have had their eyes
opened if they had visited
Education '70 last week and
Central Huron Secondary
School.
One ,i,of the most popular
places during the three days was
the music centre and it was
never more popular than when
John Lodge, a folksinger from
Goderieh, was on hand to
perform.
On the one occasion we had
to drop in, the room was packed
and students listened from both
the hall and from outside the
building through open windows.
Many of the rapt listeners
were girls which might attest
more to the singer's charm than
skill, but enough boys were
present to assure that he was
recognized for his talent. We
didn't have that good an
opportunity to listen to him but
the couple of numbers he did
offer while we were there were
well performed. Hi's version of
The Cruel War was very moving.
Then he changed tempo
altogether to offer a rollicking
version of Rock 'n Roll Music,
the Peter, Paul and Mary hit.
His performance proved again
that where there is talent, folk is
still a going concern. To be sure,
folk is not the fad as it was in
the late 50's and early 60's when
the Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul
and Mary, the Limelighters and
many others rolled out hit after

assignment for the Stratford
Festival, he directs a new work
by one of the original "angry
young men" of Britain. In this
play Mr. Wesker views the
changing social order in his
country through more mature
eyes as he introduces us to a
group of people forced to cope
with an awesome change in the
course of their own lives.
Colin George, who directed
Stratford's production of The
Hostages for the National Arts
Centre in Ottawa in February,
'returns for the Festival season to
direct SI a womir Mrozek's
Vatzlav, opening August :11.. Mr.
George has been director of the
Sheffield (now New Sheffield)
Playhouse since 1965 where his
work has included • The Cherry
Orchard, King Lear and The
Caucasian Chalk Circle, among
others. He has directed Richard
III at the Old Vic; A Man For
All Seasons, with John Neville in
Malta; Romeo. and Juliet at the
National Young People's Theatre
in Belgrade and several
Shakespearean productions at
the Ludlow Festival where lie
was for two . years Artistic
Director.
Vatzlav will be designed by
Brian Jackson, whose numerous
Stratford productions include
Henry VIII (1961), The Cherry
Orchard (1965) and Waiting for
Godot (1968). English-born, Mr.
Jackson came to Canada in 1955
to head Stratford's propertied
departrilent. He has designed for
Canadian Players, Manitoba
Theatre Centre, the Canadian
Opera Company • and the
Vancouver Playhouse, where his
productions include Arms and
the Man, Salome and Royal
Hunt of the Sun.
Vatzlav is a bitter, high
comedy about the human
condition in a paranoid society
by a playwright who comes by
his knowledge first-hand, having
been banned from his homeland
for his political beliefs. Mrozek's
denunciation of the invasion of
Czechoslovakia in 1968 led to
withdrawal .of his passport in
Poland, his place of birth, and a
ban on his, plays in Eastern
Europe,
Additional casting for the
Avon Theatre will be announced
