One Moment, Please
By G. C. Mitchell
Bluevale, Ontario
The gospels are the most
important part of the New
Testament because they tell
the story of the earthly life of
Jesus. Mark wrote the first gos-
pel. He was the son of Mary
of Jerusalem in whose house
the disciples often met with
their master. It was there that
the Last Supper was held.
When Jesus was captured in
the garden of Gethsemane and
taken to the judgment hall of
Herod, the soldiers passed by
Mark's home near midnight.
He was awakened and ran out
to see what was happening.
Some one caught him and tore
off his night clothes. He fled
back to his house naked.
Mark joined Paul and his
cousin Barnabus on the first
missionary journey to Cyprus.
He spent several years there
with Barnabus, and before
Paul's death in 64 A.D. joined
him in Rome.
We ask ourselves why the
story of Jesus' life was not writ-
ten earlier. The answer is that
the disciples expected His re-
turn to the earth. They could
ask Him anything they wished
to know. But after the death of
Peter and Paul in the Neronian
persecution, Mark realized that
there was danger that the ac-
count of Jesus' earthly life
would be lost. He therefore
sat down to write in the spring
of 05 A.D.
He concentrated on the
ministry of Jesus and especially
the last two weeks, which we
call Passion Week and Holy
Week, He did not tell us about
Jesus' birth and early life. No
problem about Jesus' birth had
arisen. That came later and
an explanation was offered by
Matthew and Luke.
We should be happy that one
who knew Jesus so well wrote
the first gospel. Mark not only
loved the Master; he knew all
the disciples and worked with
them to spread the glad tidings,
that there is a glorious eternal
life for all who believe that
Jesus is the Son of God, and
that He gave His life to show
us the road to heaven.
Oh, 'twas love, 'twas wonder-
ous love,
The love of God to me.
It brought my Saviour from
above,
To die on Calvary.

1'he recording industry held
its big evening of the year on
Wednesday, May 15, when the
Grammy Awards were presented
in three different cities, Holly-
wood, Chicago, and New York.
The 'Grammys' are the equiva-
lents of the movie 'Oscars' and
television ' Emmys' and are
given for outstanding perform-
ances on recording singles and
albums. This year's top winner
was Tony Bennett, who won for
both the best single recording
of 1962, and also the best al-
bum of popular music. His
record was called "I Left My
Heart in San Fransisco"; the al-
bum went under the same name
and is more than worth owning.
Award for best jazz album
went to the best in the business
—Ella Fitzgerald, for her album
"Ella Swings Brightly with Nel-
son Riddle." Best comedy al-
bum was Vaughn Meader's
"First Family", the take -off on
President Kennedy. The 'song
of the year' honours went to
"What Kind of Fool Am I?"
from the Broadway show "Stop
The World, I Want to Get Off'.
It was written by British star
Anthony Newley, who also stars
in the show, Bob Goulet was
named 'best young artist of the
year'. Jazz awards were pre-
sented to "Desafinado", the
Bossa-Nova rhythm number by
Stan Getz; and Stan Kenton's
Album "Adventures in Jazz" .
The albums taking awards
for 'best original cast record-
ings', were Broadway's "No
Strings" by Richard Rodgers,
with Richard Kiley and Diahann
Carroll; and the Metropolitan
Opera's "Aida" by Verdi, with
Leontyne Price and Robert Mer-
rill. And thee top single pop
recordings of last year were
"Funny Way of Laughing" by
Burl Ives (best western record);
"Alley Cat" by Bent Fabric
(best rock-and-roll); "If I Had
a Hammer" by Peter, Paul and
Mary (best folk song); and "I
Can't Stop Loving You" by Ray
Charles (best rhythm-and-
blues).

I was disappointed in the
coverage given by the CI3C, of
Astronaut Cooper's space fl*ght,
While all of America and even
Europe was watching the flight
with interest, not a trace of it
could be found on Canadian
television. Sure, we received
a report eventually, but by the
time we did, the dramatic re-
sults of the day's happenings
were old -hat; we already knew
what had occurred! This was
the greatest space achievement
by the Americans; it should
have been carried live by net-
works, so everyone could share
in the excitement!

The McGuire Sisters have
called it a day. Phyllis, the
youngest of the trio and the
one who sings lead, announced
last week that she is now on
her own and would be playing
night-clubs, with an interest in
stage work as well. Before you
get any ideas though, there is
no discord in the group; Chris
and Dorothy both are too pre-
occupied with their family life
and agree completely with the
plans. Each is the mother of
two sons, and their homes are
far scattered in localities.
Chris lives in Florida; Dorothy
in Calgary, Alberta. Since
their responsibilities keep them
at their respective homes so
much of the time, it has be-
come impossible to continue
their act, considering the travel,
rehearsal time, and odd hours
it involves. I am well aware
that Phyllis has the finest voice,
is very pleasing to watch, and
will have no career problems
whatsoever. But I doubt if she
will ever make the impact on
the world, that was made by
their trio. The world of show
biz' will miss them. Let'shope
good friend Ed Sullivan can
lure them to New York periodi-
cally, so they won't be corn-
pletely forgotten.

If you are travelling south
for your vacation this summer,
I'd like to recommend a stop at
Minneapolis, Minnesota for
some fine stage entertainment
at the new Tyrone Guthrie
Theatre in that city. Sir Ty-
rone Guthrie, who is largely
responsible for the success of
the annual Shakespearean Fes-
tival at Stratford, Ontario, is
presenting four productions in
the first season. He has also
gathered together a most im-
pressive cast; Hume Cronyn and
his wife Jessica Tandy; George
Grizzard, the award-winning
actor from Broadway; Austra-
lia's Zoe Caldwell, who has
appeared at Stratford; and one
of liollywood's top young act-
resses, Rita Gam. Sir Tyrone,
himself, and Douglas Camp -
hell, who starred at Stratford
last year, are directors, The
season opened on May 7tli
with "Hamlet" starring Griz-
zard and Tandy; followed by
the comedy "The Miser" fea-
turing Cronyn and Caldwell.
On June 18th, " The Three
Sisters", a play you'll remem-
ber from CI3C's 't -estival', will
he presented, starring Mr.
Cronyn, Mr. Grizzard, and
Miss Tandy, Miss Gam, and
Miss Caldwell in the title
roles. Later, on July 16th, the
fourth play will join the reper-
toire. This is Arthur Miller's
