When •"Pork of the Moon" recent Folio play, was PrOS01110d by the London Little Theatre a. few years ago it marked the first stage performance for Tommy Hunter. Tommy Played the guitar and sang the ballad of Barbara Allen throughout the play from a corner of the stage, The production was entered in the Dominion Drama Festival and was taken to Victoria for the finals. -Tommy • was 16 at that time, "We worried about 'hint be- muse he'd never been that far from home alone before," his mother told me, "but he had a wonderful time and he gained a lot of experience too." Paul Anka, slated for an ap- pearance an Ed Sullivan's show is reported to have cancelled out. The Sullivan show is proof that you can't stay on top forever in TV. Ratings are falling as the. show becomes more hackneyed, stilted and boring each, week. Though I am far from being a devotee of horse operas even I would prefer .to watch Maverick, the western that is on in the same tine slot, if I had the op- portunity. In addition to his weekly "Musiemakers" show, Jack Kane has just finished recording an 1p 'Kane is Able' and also did the arrangements and conducted a long -play for Dorothy Collins (the ex -Windsor girl who is the 'ex -star' of American Hit Par- ade). When Jack was arranging music for the Jackie Rae show last season he did such fine ar- rangements for EyrtieDonnie,. when she guested on the show, that she asked ,him to do her next records. Steve Lawrence, another Rae guest, did the same thing • and now Jack Kane ar- ranges for both these singers. Eydie and Steve were married recently. Both Tugboat Annie and Last of the Mohicanswhich were, filmed in Canada by 'American concerns have been well -re. ceived. Now more series are be- ing planned. One, about a French-Canadian detective, has passed the whisper stage and it looks as if it will soon be filnied.. Although the stars of these se- ries are usually American the supporting players are always chosen from among local per- formers so the news of a new se- ries will be well received by Toronto actors.
