r. J'ressup wows 'em
Children participate in live show here Thursday
The laughter• and screams of deligltr
were offered Heartily in the (iDCI
auditorium 'Thursday as television show
host MVlr. I)ressup presented two live shows
before au enthusiastic audience.
While the hundreds in attendance were
mainly of ti ie pre-scHiml variety, Ernie
Coorttbs, alias Mr. Dressup, made sure
they were involved in the show front begin-
ning to end. .
Sp nasored by the Goderich 1.1gurc
Skat ng Club, Coorinbs' visit to Goderich ,
was she beginning of a tour that would take
Him to Walkerton, Midland and Milton.
Mor than 1,3011 tickets were sold for the
t wo l er•forutances here Thursday. '
As the curtain opened to the familiar
strai of the Mr. Dressup theme song,
hand •eds of children were wide-eyed at the
pros ect of seeing the.child#'era's show host"
in pe `coir. And agaiu,•l'here were shrieks of
delig it as. he . appeared ' on stage .and
welt coed them to his show.
Du'ing the 65 minute. shows, Coombs
enter twined wild magic tricks, sang songs,
play :d instruments, dressed up, perform-
ed ci •cus• tricks and.,
ensured that Iris par-
tisan audience was involved iii the show.
And i'volved they were.
The children were a big part of ltis show
singit'g . the songs, playing the part of
jungle animals in one of the final skits and
assisting Mr. Dressup on several of His
stag adventures by shouting out warnings
or in tructioms. '
He involved the children from the start
and (ne of their first assignments was to
help r•. Dressup open the three latches on
his f mous bright orange Tickle Trunk.
With help from the children, the latches
are t ckled in just the right -way before
operii ig. ,
Th trunk, as is the case with the televi
' sion how, was an integral part of the stage
show as he pulled costumes, instrwnents
and jjist about anything from down inside
it.,
Sinmer-composer ,Jinn Parker was a hit
with his guitar and songs and he also
'manipulated the puppets, Casey 'and Fin-
nigan, who joined , the television show
about 19 years ago. "' - •. •
Th two puppets, designed to represent a .
four- ear old boy and his dog, have
becor a an integral part of the Mr.
. Dres up show and were favorites of the
children at the live shows Thursday.
In an interview before the showy,
Coobr s, 57, said that's it through Casey
and innegan that he is able to react'
children. "1 ,think Casey really acts a role
'node for children and they can empathize
with 1 int."
• Co ribs has been a rather• successful
• survi or in the children's market, con-
diseri tg that CBC chose to' axe Friendly
Giant recently. While the show has been
airin for 21 years, the ratings are getting
bette
"W 've survive ,e ecause children tend
• to sta with the•:i�, .• better , than others.
It's s ower pages;''_. -%explained, "They
can 1opk at the shoW ar dihink. it's real."
The futurelooks "good" for Mr. Dressup
and Coombs saki the ratings "were the
• best t • is yearthan they have ever been."
Th speaks well of the special relation-
ship oombs has with children and it was
much in evidence at the live shows. ,The
television show is slow-paced and speaks
to children at their pace and their level.,
. As for the future of the television show,
Coornbs said they seemed • to have
developed a successful formula and that it
' would "try to keep up with the tirnes and
social developmentof children." •

Most people would be

But Volvo engineers are
harder to satisfy than most peo-

made improvements in the Volvo

heated front seats, more com-
