'Tis Show Biz If you were one of the thou- sands who saw Christopher Plummer in last year's product- ion of "Cyrano de Bergerac" or "MacBeth", at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival, it would be of great interest to you to view "Thirty Minutes, Mr. Plummer", a presentation seen this month on the, French- Canadian documentary series "Temps Present", This was a study of what occurs in the dressing -room of a star between the last 30 -minute call and the time when the curtain rises for the show. Although Mr. Plum- mer was the principal player, Kate Reid and other Stratford performers were also featured. It must have been very inter- esting for the French-Canadian people, for Chris Plummer was raised in Montreal, a true native son who has made it big. But it was every bit as fascinat- ing for us, not only because Stratford is a town in our midst, but also because many of us had seen him in these roles and really did wonder how he bad prepared himself for them. As you may have guessed, the show was filmed while the stars actually were preparing to go on stage last summer in the Festival Theatre. Anne -Claire Poirier wrote, produced, directed, and edited the film and, along with a cameraman and a sound man, spent a month in Stratford last year while working on the pro- duction. After the Festival • S��MABEL, BLACK LABELZ Try Black Label... and you'll know why it's Canada's best-selling beer By Vonni Lee closed last September, Mr, Plummet went to the U, S. where he repeated his Cyrano role on NBC-TV, Following that, he went to Europe where he filmed a part in the movie "The Fall of The Roman Em- pire" in Spain, with Sophia Loren, Sir Alee Guinness, and James Mason, after turning down a leading role opposite Liz, Taylor. His future plans include a four-month Broad- way appearance in Brecht's "Arturo Ui"; then he will return to Spain, to the new Madrid home that he and his wife, former London columnist Pat Lewis, recently purchased. They were married a short while before he carne to Strat- ford last year; his former wife was Broadway star Tammy Grimes, Stratford's record- breaking "Cyrano" is being repeated this year with John Colicas in the title role. 0--0--0 One of the world's most harmonious couples has parted company. Singer Mary Ford and her guitarist -partner - husband have decided to take separate paths after a 12 -year marriage. Their music, and such hits as "How High the Moon", " Viya Con Dios" , "Mockingbird Hill" , etc. has made them famous and earned for them as much as half -a - million dollars a year. But this is all over now, and it will surprise me if either can do as well as a single. The music world is not the only group who will suffer, though; the Pauls have two young children, whose custody will no doubt be sought by their mother 0--0--0 Another recent announce- ment from Hollywood which really shocked no one, was when the engagement of Bo Belinsky and Mamie Van Doren died a slow death. The play- boy and former pitcher of the Los Angeles Angels, who is a few years younger than bomb- shell Mamie, is trying to forget his sorrow in Hawaii, where he is now under contract as a ball- player only. Mamie is drying her tears with $1000 ,bills, many of which she earns nightly in her club act. Like I say, this move surprised no one, feast of all the two principals involved. 0--0--0 Time for an added footnote, but none the less important — congratulations to Al Cherny for winning second prize in the old-time fiddlers' contest in Shelburne last week -end, First prize, in case you hadn't heard, went to 21 -year-old Graham Townsend of Toronto. Winner in the novelty class, was Wayne Sleepy' Marlin of Louisville, Kentucky. Again, we're proud of you, Al! And we were all pulling for you! ATTENTION HUNTERS! The Ontario Resident hunting license that has in the past be- come valid on September 1st, now is valid on September 20th.

SLIPS THAT PASS "Other restaurants have increased their prices but our dinners are the Shame as be- fore." Off the Wires .. "Bring 'ern back alive" Johnston, the talented and fear- less staff photographer who captured the spirit of the Niag- ara Glen so ably for this issue, also brought back a fearsome serpent of gargantuan proport- ions during his sojourn with nature. Convinced he had overcome an attacking Massasauga Rattle- snake, rumored to inhabit the Glen, Ted Johnston lost no time in phoning the Royal Ont- ario Museum. The conversat- ion went something like this: "I believe 1 have captured a Massasauga rattler in the Nia- gara Glen. It struck at my hand as I reached for a wild strawberry. It coils up, rattles its tail and strikes. "How long is it?" asked the authority. "About 10 inches and really Blyth Wins Two 6-3, Evens Series Blyth Intermediates evened the best 3 out of 5 series at one game apiece by defeating Bel - grave 6-3 after Belgrave had won the first game 4-1 in Blyth.

"When you view it from above, can you see both its eyes clearly?" "Oh yes -- and it keeps striking at a pencil when I poke it in the box." "Is that so? -- does it have brown saddle -like markings? And are they edged with grey and brown about the shade of a freshly peeled horeschestnut?" "It has, and they are," repli- ed Ted with growing certainty that he had the rare and dead- ly rattler in his shoebox. "Now," questioned the still imperturbed voice at the other end of the line, "is there a small, grey or white spot in the middle of its head, and is there a "Y" shaped marking behind the eyes?" "Yes, yes," sputtered Johnston, trembling just a trifle at his derring-do in subduing the viper. "Fine," said the voice from the museum, "you have a healthy young milk snake." The last Ted saw of the little beast was as it slithered over the edge of the gorge on its way back to the strawberry patch, where it probably re- mains to this day, harassing innocent photographers. The snake, Ted reports, was rattl- ing its tail, spitting in all directions and thumbing its nose as it disappeared. In Ted's defence, it can be said that there are two native snakes to Ontario which are often mistaken for rattlesnakes. One is the milk snake and the other the fox snake. Is is estimated that 95 per cent of reported observations of rattlers in Ontario can be attributed to mistaken identity. One other thing, if he had found a rattler in the Glen, it would likely have been a timber rattler, and there hasn't been a confirmed observation of a timber rattler in the Niagara Gorge for over 50 years. Rare though they may be, rattlers can be bad medicine, and they rate a good deal more respect than was accorded the indignant young reptile in the saga above. Besides, a photo- grapher has no business picking strawberries on the job. — Ontario Hydro News.
