But playwright George Bernard Shaw once said, "A lifetime of happiness—no man could bear it; it would be heli on earth". And we must admit, too, without rain to help in growth, all living things would dievery quickly. George Bernard Shaw—his humor,his wisdom, his talent, were shown to us, in part, last Wednesday evening in a special co-produced by the CBC here in Canada and England's BBC.. It was shown in Britain on October 1 in a one-hour version; for us it was lengthened to a 90 -minute special on the man who once called himself 'the greatest play- wright in the world'. The man behind the film was Harry Rasky, a man born in Canada who has become interna- tionally famous as a film-maker and won many awards for his work. This is probably the deep- est study ever made of Shaw; in addition to scenes from many of his plays, we saw rare film of Shaw himself in some of his moments of greatest thought and wit. The show was filmed on loca- tion, in Britain, Ireland, France and Canada and was a year in the making. Rasky used Canadian talent; Christopher Plummer narrated the story; Barry Morse recited part of "Man and Super- man" in a First World War veter- ans' cemetery; Genevieve Bujold did a scene from "Saint Joan" in a Montreal jail cell; John Colicos excerpts from "Major Barbara"; Paxton Whitehead, artistic direc- Cub News By Chris Foxton Hello again; here we are back. for another Cub night!

See you next week, Cubs! tor of the Shaw Festiva) at Niag- ara -on -the -Lake, an excerpt from "The Doctor's Dilemma"; and Jack MacGowran from "John Bull's Other Island". One of the highlights were the scenes from the Japanese version of "My Fair Lady" which was of course, the musical adaptation of Shaw's "Pygfnalion". "The Rain in %pain" never sounded so strange before! Shaw did not approve of his works being studied in schools; he wanted people to read his plays because they wanted to, not because they had to; he did not, iri his own words, want to be `hated like Shakespeare'. But ul- timately his magical talent, the wonderful way he had with words, had to find its way to the school curriculum and he was not merely entertaining, he was teaching. This television special began with Shaw's early years in Dublin where he was born on July 26; 1856; through his career as play- wright, to his death at Ayot St. Lawrence at the age of 94. No greater talent could he have had to perform his great works; three cheers to Rasky for using our own great stars. The Great Man would have been proud. Speaking of Chris Plummer (remember him from the early, days at Stratford?) word is out that he will play the title role in the musical version of "Cyrano de Bergerac" on Broadway. He played the dramatic role on Stratford's stage (opposite Toby Robins) and never had Cyrano aroused so many emotions within. the human mind; he was bril- liant ale has never been noted for his musical talent but he can do everything else so why shouldn't he be able to sing? Michael Lang ham, also a Stratford friend from bygone days, is set to direct the show, and Plummer will be work- ing on a percentage basis, rather than straight salary. lithe show's a hit; which it just might be, you know where that puts Plummer; like, would you believe, in the money; honey?! 11,C Junior Bowling Junior Bantams o Standings are sure close in the ,junior Bantam division.

The only penalty of the period went to Brussels when Kellington sat out three minutes for elbow- ing at 2:15 of the period. In the third period the Wing - ham boys came out really fired up and played excellent hockey, but couldn't capitalize on several scoring opport ities. Wingham spirits were roken however, when at 11:2 of the third period Cousins scored for Brussels from Kellington and Watson. Only 15' seconds later Cousins scored again unassisted to make the game out of reach. Final score, Brussels 4, Wing - ham 1.
