Sponsor Meeting
The Ausable River and Mait-

sponsorship of a conservation
information meeting to be held
in the Zurich Arena, May 23

being in an Authority area and
to answer the questions raised
by residents of the Bayfield
Creek watershed.
The guest speaker will be

of this movie is such that it has

The Mothers' Day edition of
'Flashback' was about the most
interesting of the season, with
such personalities as 'Henry
Aldrich' and Wrong -Way Corri-
gan adding so much to the eve-
ning. And the greatest mo-
ment of all came when Mar-
garet Morris' mother was intro-
duced, to Maggie's obvious
surprise. Her mother, Mrs.
Beale, lives in England, and
Maggie had not seen her since
last year. After a tearful re-
union, a few words with both
her and her mother, and a vote
of thanks to all involved with
the show, Maggie quite under-
standably questioned, "Who am
I to thank?" She broke up in
tears, you'll remember, at the
sight of the old 'Happy Gang'
members, a few weeks ago,
but this event must have result-
ed in the greatest emotional
tug at her heartstrings, since
the series began. 'Flashback'
may be slowly dying, (it's
doubtful that it will return for
another season) but no televis-
ion production can equal it for
bringing lumps to the throats of
sentimental participants and
viewers.

" To have it come elegantly,
naturally, spontaneously, —
that's great!" Those were Mor-
ley Callaghan's words on
"Quest" when he was interview-
ed by Toronto critic Nathan
Cohen, last week. He was talk-
ing about writing, but he could
have easily been referring to the
way he was speaking, because
that is exactly how he came
across -- 'elegantly, naturally
and spontaneously'. One of
Canada's greatest writers but,
like all others, having received
more recognition in foreign
lands, he was a real joy to lis-
ten to and watch, and at all
times, was completely honest
with his interested audience.
Unlike most writers, he wasn't
forever 'sipping gin' (or even
coffee), nor was he a chain -
smoker. He had come there to
talk, and talk he did! Although
I have read little of his works,
I have no doubts about their
superbness, if he comes through
on paper anything like he does
in conversation. I intend to
latch onto "That Summer in
Paris" as soon as possible; may-
be you oughta do the same. To
many people with whom "Quest"
has made its reputation as 'turn -
it -off' time, I can only say,
"You missed a good show, for
once!"

Edward Albee's plays are
confused, foolish, a little dis-
gusting, and even a mite hard
to understand, but I must admit
that they are also entertaining.
That is, if last week's 'Festival'
presentations arc any examples.
Two of his plays, " The Ameri-
can Dream" and "The Sandbox"
were produced by Mario Prizck
for the CBC. The casts of both
included Cosette Lee, Joe Aus-
tin, and George Cooper; and
the reason why the plays were
so entertaining: Ruth Spriitgford
as the 86 -year-old 'Granny'.
Without her, the show would
have been a complete 90 -
minutes' waste of time. Alhee
is a young playwright who has
been called everything from a
'genius' to a 'cad', I wouldn't
go so far as to call him a
genius; his plays ate not of the
By Vonni Ler
variety to which I would care
to listen too often. But I think
he is 'different' and may one
day become an excellent com-
edy playwright, Right now, he
is being made rich by a little
item called "Who's Afraid of
Virginia Wolff?': It is playing
to packed houses on Broadway,
and stars Uta Hagen and Arthur
Hill. During the earlier part of
the season, their roles were
taken over in matinee perfor-
mances, by Shepperd Strudwick
and Canada's Kate Reid, who
is now rehearsing at Stratford,
It is still considered the top
drama on Broadway, and every
night is entertaining many
people, perhaps shocking even
more.

Wayne and Shuster came up
this month with a real winner
for their last show of the season.
Their skits were top-notch, al-
though I must admit that I
thought Johny's clowing was a
bit overdone in their 'Mutiny on
the Poopdeck'. To begin with,
their opening song " Teamwork",
which was a repeat opener, was
a well -executed production
number. The Russian and
'Professor' sketches which fol-
lowed, were extremely funny,
although the interruptions in
film were distracting, in the
latter. And why did the com-
edy in the Russian skit have to
come during that beautiful mel-
ody "Midnight in Moscow"?
Most of it was completely
drowned out by laughter. Their
take -off on "Mutiny on The
Bounty" may not have been
their funniest effort of the sea-
son, but it surely was their most
realistic! If they don't catch
cold from that drenching, I'm
amazed! Don Gillies showed
his regular genius again, and
Shirley Harmer looked as love-
ly as a brunette as she did when
a blonde!
