said Hardee Lineham,
explaining his attraction to
the summer festival,
Hardee, returning to Blyth
for a second seaSon, will "be "
.playing the parts of Fudge in,
John .aid the Missiis -and
George in I'll Be Back For
.You, Before Midnight.;
"'This theatre in. Blyth is
Probably the most intouch
theatre with.the community,
of any other place in Can-
ada," he, Said.
'Hardee, Who liVet 'outside
of Calgary,, said he still sees,
. problems in Western theatre.
"Theatre I think' is still
'struggling in the west," he
said.
"Theatre has •to be im-
Mediate, In the. west, I think
it is a bit museum oriented, it
doesn't relate to.,now."
-A National Theatre School
graduate in 1971, • Hardee
said acting in professional
'theatre came fast for him. He
said he moved from high
school to theatre school -in
Montreal and' then, onto
Professional theatreso quick-
ly, he needed time to get
over the hurdles. - •
He explained it was for
that reason he left acting for
awhile' and concentrated on
'building his. log home.
The house has a total of
1,100 ,square feet of living
space with an upper storey.
Hardee, said it took about 12
months to complete the log
structure,,
He said homes like his are
built with much• more mod—
erri methods than before and
they've become a popular
home alternative in proV-
!flees like British Columbia
where the wood 'is available.
He added he worked as a
professional builder for eight
months after he had com-
pleted his own log hotne, but
soon fohnd he wanted to go
back to the theatre.
"I found Out log building is
tougher than theatre," he
said with a smile.
NoW that he has had the
time to understand his mot-
, ives, for taking a break from
theatre, Hardee said he: has
returned with a 'greater over-
view and objectivity, he felt
he never had before'.
Blytli theatre, said Hardee .
has , become, increasingly
popular Over the past few
. years' in the western prov-.
inces., "I'm not •exaggerating •
when I say this place is. really
on the map.

Acting has been a lifetime
effort for Tom Hauff, con-
•sidering he`started iri aCi":1C
children's television series at
the age of 12.
Born in Austria, Tom said
what started out as elocution
lessons as a child, ended up
as acting lessons and an
audition at' CBC in Vancou-
ver. ,
This year playing the part '
of Matt in John and the
Missus, and working on the
collectiye production of The,
Life Thht Jack Built': 'Tom
said he thinks he doeS, better
work in 'film and
"I think I do better' vvoric
film and television, but stage
work is harder and better for
me„ I learn more," he said. •
"It makes me open up
much more," he added.
Theatre like that in Blyth is
important because Canada
has to develop a sense of
identity, said Tom.
"Canada has to develop a,
sense of what Canada is, the
only way you can find out in
peacetime is in the arts. You
have to be shown an identity
That you can relate and aspire
to.'
"The only way we' can
develop a pride in the coun-
try is 'to be shown how
interesting it is," he said.
"With the state of the
world arid the state of the
provinces, there has to be' a
sense of country - of place,"
he added.
Raised in. Vancouver, Tom
moved to Toronto in 1974
where he acted in CBC's
Police- Surgeon, The Peep
Show and Six War. Years.
Tom has performed'in suer
al movies including ' The
Brethren and Who. Has Seen
the Wind when he played the
part of Mr. Digby.
Receiving an ACTRA
award nomination .-for his
performance in Summer
Children; Torn' said , he felt
complithented with the noin-
ination.
. "I used to think . the
ACTRA awards ,.were gar-
bage, btit once I was'monain-
ated, I thought it was a
,tomplitnent because it comes
from yOUr peers."
