Joarpildne Jaen Ste- WINGHAM, Diad 357-1561 Page 8 ^ Wingham Advance -Times,, Thursday, May 7, 1904 Perhaps you are one of the people who stood .outside in the spring dampness in order to get tickets to see the Beatles when they come to Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens in Septem- ber. If you are, you needed a head -doctor then and probably need medication now so you'll be rid of that pneumonia be- fore they arrive! Tickets for their show went on sale last Wednesday and from the Sun- day morning previous, a line- up (and not just teenagers) waited for the box office to open. Within two hours of the opening second, the tickets for the evening performance were completely sold out and they started selling tickets for a ma- tinee performance, even though a matinee performance is not on the Beatles' agenda. A lot of disappointed people will be left holding their tick- ets if they can't arrange an af- ternoon sing -song. The show will be on September 7th, which is Labour Day, the last holiday before schools begins. The boys are being paid $30, - 000 for the one-night stand, which is part of a North Ameri- can tour that they will be be- ginning in August. Right now, over 'ore in England, they are working on their first motion picture for United Artists' stu.- dio. Whether or not they can act remains to be seen; if Ringo is the brain he's supposed to be, he's already doing a mightly good job of fooling the public! I doubt if any ofthem will claim next year's Oscar, though. If they can't act, it must be the only thing that some of the boys can't do. John Lennon, th'e only married member of the group, and Paul McCartney are responsible for writing most of the songs they have recorded. And now Len- non has his 'John Henry' on, of all things, a book which he has written. The book is called "In His Own Write" and was published in April. Within two days 20, 000 copies were sold, 'Tis Show BIZ By Vonni Lee .and since that time orders have been pouring in like there was no tomorrow. Now, talented John is planning to write a sec- ond volume which will nes doubt also be a hest -seller. Don't vote admire a boy with ambi- tion to get out and earn a few bucks? After all, why settle for twenty million if you can make it twenty-one? By the way, they'll he making another appearance with Ed Sullivan soon (this one filmed in Eng- land) so watch for them there. Peter Sellers suffered a heart attack while in Hollywood for his umpteenth motion picture, "Kiss Me, Stupid", for Billy Wilder, at the beginning of this month. It was reported to be a mild attack at first, but later complications set in and the :38 -year old English star was fighting for his life. Doc- tor's bulletins said he was 'sink- ing'. But like the pro he is he bounced back and last week was able to leave Cedars of Lebanon Hospital and begin his long convalescence at his Cali- fornia home. He was forced to bow out of the movie, though, and his part went to a friend of ours, Ray Walston, the star of TV's "My Favourite Martian". (What a break for him:) Sel- lers is the kind of man you just can't hold down. He has been piling motion picture on mo- tion picture these past few years, hardly taking time to turn around between them, In some, he has played many dif- ferent roles in the same pic- ture. He is right at the top of the list as far as today's comedy stars are concerned. So let's hope he takes things easy until he's able to be back at work. At his side during his. illness was his gorgeous blond wife, Britt Eklund, the 21 -year-old Swedish actress whom he mar- ried in February after knowing her for only a few weeks. The movie in which she was working in London has now also found a replacement. England realizes Business an . Professional Directory PHONE 524-9521 Roy N. Bentley PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT P. O.

Peter Seller's life story, which was written by Joe Hyams, a former entertainment columnist and now a freelance writer, has been sold to a Lon- don syndicate for a price of $90, 000. The proceeds are to be split in half, the writershar- ing with the star. Apparently his biography is among the most interesting among show folks, not only the story of his acting career, but also the highlights of his personal life. 0--0--0 Big headlines out of Holly- wood last week, which are most too idiotic to report - Twentieth Century Fox studios are suing Elizabeth Taylor for twenty million dollars, Richard Burton for five million, and both, jointly, for twenty-five million. The charge is breach of contract. The list of accu- sations is as long as your arm, but in a nutshell the bigwigs did not like Liz' and Richard's conduct when they were away from the camera during the filming of "Cleopatra". Their conduct there, they say, ishurt- ing distribution of the film now, and they are not making the money they think they should. Well, big deal! NOW they come with a lawsuit! So they were shocked by Liz' behav- ior. Well, who did they think they were hiring- Patty Duke? Everyone else in Holly'd pre- tends to know her like a book; where have they been living? And why weren't they com- plaining when 'Cleo' was in the making? Then the publicity was helping their picture and they were quiet as mice. May- be their picture is suffering at the box office, but it has noth- ing to do with what happened two years ago in Rome. Rich- ard and Liz no longer hold the same interest for the public; they're married now and stories about them have stopped light- ing up the front pages. Why don't these jokers at 20th start work on another epic and stop dreaming up lawsuits? Don't get me wrong; I'm not fight- ing in the Burton -Taylor army now. I just hate to see anyone become the victim of sneaky tactics, and these take the iward for the sneakiest!

Larry Elliott Conducts Meeting BLUEVALE-The Explorers met in Knox Presbyterian Church on Sunday with Larry Elliott presiding. The meet- ing opened with the motto, and roll call was answered by quot- ing Scripture. Larry Elliott read Scripture and Paul Moffatt led in prayer.

Dod and Tolga went to the hospital to see the boy with the injured eye, The boy's family prepared his food at their camp and brought it for him as rela- tives did for other patients. They watched the building of a new hospital ward. Dod went with the men to find more lum- ber. The boys had an interest- ing week watching the sick coming to the hospital to seek help.
