Carroll sings
Lerner & Loewe
at K-W’s Centre
Lyceum shows art movies
By Janice Becker
Citizen staff
The Wingham Lyceum Theatre is
providing a wonderful opportunity
to movie lovers of all ages, the
chance to experience some of the
best films ever created.
Spanning the history and cultural
diversity of cinema, moviegoers
will be treated to the latest in inde
pendent-release and art films such
as The Red Violin, which is receiv
ing wide-spread acclaim, to foreign
films such as The Full Monty from
Britain and Shall We Dance from
Japan.
They are even planning to show a
Buster Keaton silent film, said
Shelly Paulocik, who was instru
mental in bringing the Monday
Night Movie Series to Wingham.
Paulocik said the idea has been
ruminating around for about two
years after a conversation with a
Teeswater friend Gord Ripley, she
said. It was actually his idea to get
better movies in the area.
Then last spring, Paulocik decid
ed to do something with the idea
and approached Lyceum owner
Dale Edgar.
He was very interested, she said.
He is open to any thoughts of other
uses for the theatre.
A distributor for the types of
movies they were looking for was
soon found.
With the idea formed and a
venue available, Paulocik said she
got great assistance from Nelson
Frank of Triangle Discount in
Wingham, who volunteered his col
lection of 16 mm films, John
Schedler who runs Videofax, and
The Citizen publisher, Keith Roul-
ston, who was a consultant for the
project.
Aside from previewing films of
interest, Paulocik said moviegoers
will be asked to fill out surveys to
determine choices for the future.
Since the first run in June, she
said one of the most requested
movies was Elizabeth. "Almost
everyone had it on their list." It is
the last of the winter series and will
be showing April 12.
Paulocik said one of the best
things about the series is the mix of
films which will be shown.
They started with the Canadian
"The Sweet Hereafter" and showed
movies such as Britian's Mrs.
Brown, Smoke Signals, a work
completely created by native North
Americans and Shall We Dance.
"Shall We Dance was so great,"
said Paulocik, "that there was spon
taneous applause. We even got
phone calls afterwards."
Because of the mix of foreign
films, Paulocik said there will be a
few with subtitles, but they try to
keep it to one or two per series.
Even at that, she said many atten
dees say once they get into the film,
it's not as difficult to follow as they
may have thought.
Paulocik hopes to interest high
school students and is encouraging
teachers to bring their classes, par
ticularly for the historical films.
If attendance numbers can be
increased, Paulocik said there may
be consideration given to Sunday
matinees.
Shows are currently run the sec
ond Monday of the month at 8 p.m.
The shows in the winter series
will be The Red Violin, Feb. 8; Next
Stop Wonderland, Mar. 8 and Eliz
abeth, Apr. 12.
Tickets can be purchased at the
Lyceum Theater during its regular
business hours, at Triangle Dis
counts in Wingham, Clinton and
Teeswater or through many who
have been attending the shows.
International film and television
star Diahann Carroll will be in
concert at Kitchener's The Centre
In The Square for one performance
only on Thursday, Jan. 28 at 8 p.m.
This is Carroll's only Canadian
appearance on her current tour.
Along with Carroll, 'Almost Like
Being In Love - The Lerner &
Loewe Songbook' features a cast of
four Broadway performers and five
on-stage musicians in a song and
dance celebration of classic Lerner
& Loewe music. Songs featured
will include / Could Have Danced
All Night, They Call the Wind
Maria, The Night They Invented
Champagne, I Talk to the Trees and
many more.
Beginning as a teenage model
and singer in New York, Carroll
first appeared in films and
television in the early 1960s. Her
first starring role came in 1962 with
the award-winning Broadway
musical No Strings, for which she
won a Tony Award.
In 1968 Carroll made television
history when she starred in Julia,
becoming the first African-
American actress to be featured in
her own weekly television series.
The film Claudine brought her an
Oscar nomination for Best 'Actress.
Fans of Dynasty will remember her
portrayal of the glamorous
Dominique Devereaux.
In addition to her hundreds of
television appearances, Carroll
continues her singing engagements
and theatrical roles. She starred as
Norma Desmond at the Ford Centre
for the Performing Arts in the
Canadian premiere and tour of
Sunset Boulevard. Carroll also
starred in the highly praised feature
film Eve's Bayou with Samuel L.
Jackson.
