ntertainment
Blyth Festival is pleased to
welcome back Graham and Eleanor
Townsend to its stage. Following
their rousing, toe-tapping perfor-
mance in April of 1994, the
Townsends return on Sunday, April
2 for an afternoon of fantastic
fiddle music.
Both Graham and Eleanor
Townsend are fiddle champions in
their own right. Graham stunned
the fiddle world at age 11 by being
the youngest player ever to win the
CNE fiddling contest. Eleanor also
broke new ground by becoming the
first woman to win the Canadian
Open Old-Time Fiddling Cham-
pionship.
A studied master of virtually
every style of fiddling, Graham is
equally at home playing country
and western, bluegrass, jazz,
Southern, Cajun and western
swing. Eleanor is a self-taught
fiddle player who learned by
listening to the records of Al
Cherny, Ned Landry, Don Messer,
and...Graham Townsend. The two
of them met, married, and
combined their talents to form
North America's only
championship fiddle team.
Graham and Eleanor Townsend
bring their award winning
combination to the Blyth Memorial
Community Hall on Sunday, April
2 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 each
and are available by calling the
Blyth Festival Box Office at (519)
523-9300. (Tickets are also

Grand announces season
Patrons of The Grand Theatre in
London as well as first-time
observers, will be treated to a 1995-
96 season which will "engage the
mind, reward the senses and cele-
brate life and spirit in the London
community."
That is the description given by
The Grand's Artistic Director Des-
ignate Michael Shamata during his
announcement of the upcoming
year.
The six productions range from
comedies and musicals to evil and
personal conflicts.
The season opener is a bitter-
sweet comedy, Later Life, which
tells of a reunion of old acquain-
tances, their reminiscences and
exploration of what could have
been or may be.
Pulitzer prize-winning story, Cat
Mention The Ziegfeld Follies and
big, bright, bountiful productions
come to mind. Extravagant
costumes, lavish sets, hysterical
comedians, and the most beautiful
women 'in the world - they were
what made the Follies unique.
Some of the stars who found
their way to, and got their start on,
Florenz Ziegfeld's stage were
Fanny Brice, W. C. Fields, and
Eddie Cantor. One of the most
popular was Will Rogers.
Now, there's the chance to see all
the glitz and glamour of the follies
era when The Will Rogers Follies
takes the stage at Kitchener's The
Centre in the Square on April 6 and
7.
Winner of six Tony awards, The
Will Rogers Follies is a musical
extravaganza that tells the tale of
the life of America's classic
humourist through Rogers' own
home-spun tales and antics, with
the help of Ziegfeld-style dazzling
showgirls and splashy dance
numbers.

The renowned story of Dracula
tells of his effect on a doctor, his
daughter and her fiance in a tale
filled with love, evil and despera-

In January, Joanna McClelland
Glass's humorous and heartfelt
play, If We are Women, details the
attempts of the "older" generation
of women to pass on advice to their
18-year-old daughter/granddaugh-
ter.

There is great fun in The Will
Rogers Follies. The six canines,
billed as Brackney's Madcap Mutts
(five daredevils, one showoff), are
incontestably the best thing on 24
legs. The stairway to paradise (or
thereabouts) is a silvery vision.
And the razzle-dazzle of 16 chorus
girls, who clap their hands, pat their
thighs and cross and uncross their
legs in crisp patterns is enough to
boggle anyone who ever had
trouble rubbing his stomach and
patting his head at the same time.
