MARY CAMPBELL received a pin from Mrs, Walter Brown to mark 11 years of perfect attendance in the Wednesday Night Ladies' Bowling League. The presentation was made at the banquet Wednesday night in the Royal Canadian Legion Hall.—A-T Photo. It may not have all the in- gredients you would think a winner of a multitude of Acad- emy Awards, one of them 'best picture of the year', might have, but its performers make "My Fair Lady" a joy, one of the most 'loverly' motion pic- tures of all time. Eliza Doolittle has arrived in Western Ontario, and she has captured audiences here, just as she has conquered audi- ences all over the world, We have 'grown accustomed to her face' is probably the way Hen- ry Higgins would put it! The 'My Fair Lady' story is, of course George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion"; the story of the transformation of a dirty little guttersnipe, a Cockney flower- girl, whom English Professor Henry Higgins finds on the streets and attempts to make in- to a lady. The Cockney por- tion of the dialogue is at times very hard to understand, and Audrey Hepburn who plays Eliza, tends to speak it too quickly. But her life as a Cock- ney flowergirl is short-lived af- ter she meets the Professor, so we don't have many problems there. Naturally, he succeeds mar- vellously with his experiment and when she makes her ap- pearance at the Embassy Ball, resplendent in diamonds and silk, she is mistaken for a Hun- garian princess. Despite his rough treatment of her, Eliza has come to love the Professor, 111111111111111E11111111111111111111111111111B111111111111r FEATURE EVENT DIRECTORY 1114111211111111111411111111111K1151111i1E `for your entertainment pleasure in TORONTO UNIVERSITY THEATRE May - June Winner of 5 Academy awards, the breathtakingly beautiful film "DOCTOR ZHIVAGO" ROYAL ONTARIO MUSEUM April 29 - June 5 Art treasures from Japan O'KEEFE CENTRE May 23 - June 4 Al Hirst, The Frivolous Five, DIahann Carrol HORSE RACING at GREENWOOD RACEWAY May 28 Inferno Stakes—Handicap 11111111111111111111111•11111111111111E11111111N111111 FREE WEEKEND FOR YOUR WIFE AT TEL Lord Simcoe Hotel *Treat your wife to a weekend at the Lord &male Hotel free.

The last scene reunites them, though in a fast, fleeting, rather un- dramatic moment. The scenery, though it does not always show the best side of London, is appealing. The costuming, particularly in the Ascot scene and at the Ball, is breathtaking; no wonder it won an Oscar. The music, written first for the Broadway version by Alan Lerner and Fritz Loewe, will live for years and have be- come standards in the record- ing industry. Really, though, it is the stars of the picture that make it as great as it is. Rex Harrison is the Professor, the role he played for, years on Broadway, and for which he received the movie's highest honor, the Academy Award as best actor. Audrey Hepburn in the role of Eliza is 'magnificent', which is the word Henry uses for her. As you watch her, you wonder how on earth Julie Andrews, who did nothing spectacular in "Mary Poppins", could have won an award that should have belong- ed to Audrey. Audrey is no singer, so her words are sung by Marni Nixon, and Audrey mouths them on the screen. To me, this would require much more talent than merely stand- ing and 'doin' what comes nat- urally' : The marvellous English star Stanley Holloway is Eliza's fa- ther, and his presence on stage means great entertainment, His words are not always with the sound track, but you overlook this. You know he's singing, you know he has talent to bum, and that's all that matters. Wil- fred Hyde-White plays Colonel Pickering, good friend of the Professor; and Jeremy Brett, who has a fine singing voice, is Freddy Eynsford-Hill, the man whom Shaw, in his play, says that Eliza will eventually mar- ry because she 'is too strong- minded a girl to fetch Henry Higgins' slippers for the rest of her life' "My Fair Lady" is great fam- ily entertainment. It is a War- ner Bros. release, directed by Academy Award winner George Cukor. Go see it! JOHN GAUNT of R.

The 1966-67 president is Ross Tarlton of Hamilton This- tles, and George Inglis of Bel- more was elected to the execu- tive. Some of the rules were changed at the meeting. The British Consuls Trophy winners shall be decided by a double knock-out with 16 divis- ion winners instead of a round robin, which will be played off in Orillia in 1967, A new competition for the intermediate group, ages 40 to 55 will be played off at Glen- briar in Waterloo, March 1967. The Ross Harstone Trophy will be awarded to an individ- ual player nominated after the 1967 Brier finals, which will be held in Ottawa. The annual award will go to a player selected by an advisory group of 11 members. Winner of the trophy will be chosen for ex- emplary conduct on and off the ice, observance of rules, and his contribution in keeping curling a sport for real gentle- men. Annual reports will be print- ed without the names of mem- bers of associated clubs as they are always a year behind.
