His great canvases - Jack Pine, North- ern River, and The West Wind - are a treasured part of our national heri-- tage, and the mystery of his death in Algonquin Park in 1917 remains unsolved to this day. Jim Betts, one of Canada's most talented compos- er/playwrights, tells the story of Thomson's life and art in his Col- ours in the Storm, a startling new musical play full of humor, passion and intrigue, coming to the Blyth Memorial hall for one performance only, 8 p.m. Sunday, May 8. Colours in the Storm is the story of a man who at age 34 discovers what he wants to do with his life and for the next five short years fu- riously pursues his obsession: to capture in paint the exact quality of the colour he finds in the northern landscape. As well as the obsessive artist, Thomson is revealed as a gregarious and charismatic charm- er, who stirs up dark passions in those around him. Thomson was a Toronto photo- engraver when he met Ben Jackson, who first took him to Algonquin Park in 1912, along with some of the other artists who would later form the Group of Seven: J.E.H. MacDonald, Franklin Carmichael, Frederick Varley and Arthur Lis - mer. The circumstances of his death remain a puzzling and haunting mystery. On July 16, 1917, ten days after he disappeared, Thom - son's body was discovered floating face down in Canoe Lake, with fishing line wound 16 times around one of his ankles and a 4" gash on his head. Accident or murder? Was Martin Bletcher jealous enough of Tom's relationship with Winnie Trainor to kill him, or did Annie Fraser's kindness for the painter en- rage her suspicious, hot-tempered husband? Jim Betts leaves us with the mystery. His play is about Thomson's life, the struggle to be- come what he was, and his fight against time. Betts subtitles Colours in the Storm "A Gallery of Scenes and Songs on the Life of Tom Thom- son." It is a play with music, the original score influenced by folk and Celtic traditions. The songs are representations of the paintings, de- scribing the emotional and physical landscape around Thomson. Tickets for the single local per- formance of this touring production by Tapestry Theatre are available for $17 each from the Blyth Box Office at 523-9300. .Eclipse Hairstyling, Esthetics and Tanning is happy to welcome Charlotte Webber Charlotte has 12 years of experience and has worked in Alberta, VanCOUVOr,Victoria and Uppsala, Sweden Charlotte specializes in long hair and perms.
