Odds n' Ends

On April 8, the 47th annual
Academy Awards were broad-
cast. Millions of people, in-
cluding me, were glued to our tv
sets for two -and -one-half hours.
Most of us hoped to catch a
glimpse of our favourite stars.
Some of us tested our ability to
select the top actor and acttess
and the best motion picture of
1974. Of the five nominees for best
picture, I saw only one,
."Towering Inferno.- so I had a
good excuse for picking a loser.
This year's Oscar presen-
tations was the best I've seen in
several years. The pace seemed
faster than in previous programs.
Of course, we heard the usual
eloquent acceptance speeches
and the long lists of thank yous.
One winner stated a political
view. which the Academy
promptly disclaimed. Director
Brands Ford Coppola became
--the most familiar face in the
crowd. He made several trips on
stage to receive awards for his
contribution to "The Godfather
Part II."
In spite of the impressive
setting in the Los Angeles Music
Centre, the show emphasized
people - stars of the past and the
present. The four emcees and the
celebrity presenters maintained
a quick tempo. The musical
numbers and the purely en-
tertaining segments were
tastefully inserted into the
program.
Cameras scanned the star-
studded audience, and tv viewers
saw more celebrities than ever
before - almost 200. We noticed
the customary low-cut gowns and
the tuxedos and bowties.
Detectives prevented a repeat
performance by last year's
streaker.
Film clips from old Oscar
shows paid tribute to former
0
0
winners. Some of the scenes were
sentimental; they brought back
memories of tine actors and
actresses of the past. Other
scenes were humourous; they
recalled the confusion and the
mistakes that occurred from
time to time.
Finally, tidbits from the five
films, nominated for the best
Motion picture of 1974, were
reviewed. The presentations
climaxed with the announcement
of the winner, which was "The
Godfather Part II." This film
reflects the hold that corruption
has on modern America.
Another candidate for the top
picture award was "China town,"
which also portrays corruptive
influences in public and personal
life.
One of 1974's comedies was
"The Longest Yard." Convicts
were converted to heroes by way
of a football game. I thought
football couldn't turn me on, but
this game did. In this fantasy, the
establishment. which was
represented by the prison guards,
took a beating. The audience
loved it. Some moralists, who
resent blood and violence, didn't
understand how this movie could
be classed as a comedy.
Besides crime and corruption,
catastrophe was a popular movie
theme in 1974. Two of the most
successful disaster films were
"Towering Inferno" and
"Earthquake." The latter
received acclaim for its special
effects. With the innovation of
"sensurround." movie-goers not
only watched a simulated ear-
thquake but also felt its
tremours.
Recently I checked an en-
tertainment page in a daily
newspaper. Of the eighteen films
listed. seven were restricted, and

The club girl has learned how to
select clothes to suit her figure
type, considering lines, colours
and textures of fabric. Each
member has made a blouse
which will harmonize with her
wardrobe.
Miss Jane Pengilley, Home

be conducting Achievement Days
throughout the County. In this
area Achievement Days will be •

Summertime fashions flair at
Spring into Summer showing
"Spring into Summer" was the
theme of the Wednesday fashion
show when over 200 ladies from
the area gathered at the Pine
Ridge Chalet to view the spring
and summer fashions.
The show was sponsored by the
Huron Country Playhouse Guild.
Fashions were from Boyle's
Ladies' Wear of Exeter. Mrs.
William Schlegel of Grand Bend
did the commentary.
Modelling thefashions were
Connie Johnston of Exeter, Helen
Kleinstiver, Dashwood, Dorothy
O'Connor, Grand Bend, Jo Anne
Dinney. Exeter, Elaine Bogart,
Exeter, Beth Jean, Grand Bend,
Rose Marie Martens, London,
Cathy Day. Exeter and Nancy
Wright. Hensall.
The clothing was displayed in a
setting of gingham blossoms in
all the spring colors.
The door prize for a centre
piece 'was won by Mrs. Jessie
Armstrong.
The draw on a Van Raulte robe,
donated by Lottie Roff, was won
by Mrs. Anne Masse.
nine were adult entertainment.
One manager warned that the
film playing in his theatre con-
tamedlanguage which might be
offensive to some people. No
wonder few families attend
movie theatres.
Some films tastefully handi-e'\
sensitive subjects; others
capitalize on the public's lust for
sex and brutality.
Many box office smashes of
recent years consist of violence
corruption and or disaster. If this
is what we call entertainment, we
don't have to pay to see it. We can
stay home and watch the news.
A proven way to make your
home look better is to price the
new ones.
