'Tis Show Biz lay Voogd Lee After a hard knock in New York, Don Francks was back in Toronto, and featured on "Front Page Challenge" last week. He has always been the type to say exactly what was on his mind, no matter who it stung. I suppose everyone figur- ed that he would come back to Canada with a bitter, "I was great; it was the show that stunk!" when asked about the failure of "Kelly" which closed after only one performance on Broadway. They were pleasant- ly surprised. He knocked no one, and blamed the failure on the fact that it had undergone many changes before opening night. He was his same honest self, being a little too modest as he threw out a quick 'No' when Betty Kennedy asked if he was a well-known entertainer, before he was identified. He wise -cracked with Pierre Berton and the others, but he was best when he put Gordon Sinclair in his place when Gordon accused him of flopping on the New York nightclub circuit. He didn't flop, he said, the critics just didn't dig his kind of crea- tive entertainment. Bravo for him! Gordon Sinclair thinks that if you don't earn $50, 000 a year you are a flop! Why, he couldn't begin to play in the same league with Francks, even if Francks were a pauper! Don got a bit carried away when trying to convince Old Money- bags that he was a hit in the U.S. , but if that list of future engagements is 'for sure', I don't think he will be idle too long. I hope he doesn't forget his homeland; we'll miss excep- tional talent like his. 0--0--0 Another Canadian about to get the big build-up in the U. S., is Stu Philips, singing host of Winnipeg's "Red River Jam- boree" which is seen every Wed- nesday evening at 8. Stu's last appearance on the show will be on March 31st, then he will move to the U.S. where he will be host of a country music and modern rythm series called "Country A Go Go". The show will originate in New York City, with some to be filmed on lo- cation in different parts of the continent. It will be seen on U.

Thirty-one-year-old Stu has been host of the Winnipeg show since 1961. He has written more than 150 country songs and made successful recordings of many of them. For the past few months, he has been com- muting from Hollywood or New York to Winnipeg each week; some new shows have already been filmed and shown in New York. There is also talk that he may have a starring role in an upcoming country music movie. So be around to bid him adieu on the 31st; we may not see him for a long while. His replacement will be ano- ther Westerner, Reg Gibson, who has made guest appearan- ces on that show and many others out west, and with Juli- ette in Toronto. He is 32, was born in Carman, a beautiful town which can boast some marvellous people, near the Canada -U.S. border, and has been singing since he was four years old. He will be introduc- ed by his predecessor on the 31st, and will take over the hosting duties on April 7th. 0--0--0 Did you know that it was exactly one year ago this week, the 15th to be exact, that Eliz- abeth Taylor became Mrs. Rich- ard Burton in Montreal? And people said it wouldn't last! All kidding aside, though, Eliza- beth Taylor is still blissfully happy, and marvellously healthy, which in itself, is an accom- plishment. She usually decides to become violently ill when she thinks that attention has shifted to someone else. She is fighting to be listed on bill- boards and marquees as Eliza- beth Burton, she loves her new name that rnuch! The Burtons are now in Dublin, Ireland, where 'Deah Rich-ud' is work- ing on his new picture, " The Spy that Came in from the Cold", in the role in which he replaced Burt Lancaster (Lan- caster didn't want to be sepa- rated from his family, but when you'remarried to Liz Taylor, you take your family and 150 pieces of luggage with you!) When he finishes this, they will return to Hollywood, where she will work on "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"; she will have the role played by Kate Reid in Broadway matinees of the Ed- ward Albee hit. They may even make it back to Tinseltown in time for the Oscars on April5th; he is a best actor nominee for his work in "Becket". 0--0--0 A television production which could not be equalled anywhere, will be repeated for a third time on CBC's "Festival" this week, the 17th. It is Fletcher Markle's wonderful adaption of Katherine Anne Porter's "Pale Horse, Pale Rid- er". If you did not see it one of the other nights it was shown, and even if you did, take 90 minutes to watch it, It is a beautifully poignant story, and stars Joan Hackett and Keir Dul- lea will make it live in your heart for many years. This week's "Telescope" will be a tribute to Mr. Hockey, Foster Hewitt, who has been broad- casting hockey games for 42 years. Next week's "Show of the Week" (Monday 22,8 p.m.) will be of interest to the kids, for it stars England's Petula Clark, singer of the pop hit "Downtown" . The viewing high- light next week, if all goes well, will be the space flight by Virgil Grissom and John Young. Television coverage will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, live from the CBS in the U.S. WEDNESDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE The end of the regular sea- son is now in sight, and after carefully reviewing the present standings and adding up the re- maining points that any one team can possibly attain, we have come to the conslusion that the Kats will definitely get the cup for the regular season's play. The Kats have 106 points and the nearest to them are the Tigers with 83. If the Kats do not get any more points(which is highly unlikely) and the Ti- gers take seven points a night for the three remaining nights, they will still only have 104. The Packers have 81; Rovers and Hawks are tied with 68 and the Larks have 56. The men's high single went to Ken Saxton,with 278 and the triple was taken by Bob Angus with a 6'79. For the ladies, Win Carter took all the honors, with a high single of 263 and a triple of 538. Special thanks to spares Sonny and Ruth Shropshall and Connie Foxton. 0--0--0 COMMERCIAL LEAGUE With two more regular garnes left, the pressure is be- ginning to build and everyone is really trying. One consola- tion to those who won't take first or second place in the reg- ular play, there is still the play- offs, and as we have seen be- fore, anything can happen then. So, don't give up just yet, gang. Our thanks go to spar es Jack Walker, Walter Brown, Gord Rapson, Jim Deneau (who chalked up an extra two points for the Cougars), Joan Yeoman and Helen Casemore. Ladies' high single went to Shirley Storey with 268 as well as the high triple of 652. Jim Deneau had the men's high re single with 316 and also the high triple with 770. Not a bad night's work, Jim. Team standings: Lions 111; Seals 104; Wildcats 93;Cougars 91; Tigers 83; Beavers 70. On behalf of the League, best .wishes are extended to President Joe Schneider and Vera, who celebrated their 33rd anniversary on St. Patrick's Day, and also to Carl Lott, whose birthday is the same day. 0--0--0 LADIES' LEAGUE The Wrens still hold the lead this week with 62 points and trying their best to over- take them are the Orioles with 56 points. The Canaries have 52, the Budgies 49, the Robins 45 and the Bluejays 36. Sharon Sangster took the high single with 302 and Ruth Tiffin took the high triple with 714. 0--0--0 THURSDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE Mac's Mules gained three points on the top team with a total of 84. In top place, even though the points for this week were zero, are Matt's Meeces with 90 points. Ian's Idiots zoomed ahead with seven points for a tie of third place with Wayne's Woofers for a total of 79. Hap's Happy Gang with 67 are being chased by Bill's Boobs who took seven points this week. Bill's Boobs have a total of 63. Gwen MacLaurin of Matt's Meeces bowled 264 and 687 for ladies' high single and tri- ple. Mac Ritchie of Mac's Mules bowled 270 for men's high single with Bill Edwards of Bill's Boobs bowling 720 for men's high triple. Divorce Judge: "How long have your relations been un- pleasant?" Woman: "Your hon- or, my relations have always been pleasant; it's his relations that are the trouble makers." CURLING CAPSULES By Ernie Richardson Although most of the ma- jor bonspiels are over by this time, curling interest in general is still in full swing. This time of the season is excellent for reviewing all the instruction you have re- ceived, reading and person- al coaching and demonstra- tions. It is an ideal time to re- view the games you have played, good and bad. It is also the time to study the shots you made, or should have made, and your play in general. This includes points of strategy that you used successfully and those, if any, that backfired. Many curlers keep re- cords of their games, espe- cially in open competition against rinks with more ex- p e r i e n c e. Others have friends score their games, and those of the rink, to keep a check on the effi- ciency of each player. However, like in golf, the majority o f players who have been curling for any length of time can go back over important shots in ma- jor competitions throughout their career. That is one of the most eeneral and grati- fying features of locker - room companionship. Recalling the curling style s, shot -making and strategy o f other curlers and, comparing them with your own, can be helpful be- cause there is still plenty of time to experiment with your game if you find a change would improve it. We would not particularly advise imitating the style of another curler unless it is suitable to your stature and athletic ability. A long, and difficult sliding delivery would certainly NOT be suitable for heavy or older men. If you can find expert coaching it is still a good time to correct faults that might have been picked up during the season. Faults can develop in the play of the best curlers in the coun- try. Even they need advice from someone else in order to detect their faults. Brooming is one point in the game that should be checked closely at all times, and especially now when you are trying to get in as many matches as possible before the season ends. Make a study of your brooming on both intern and outturn shots. and if there is a weakness in one or the other. try and correct it before you hang up your broom for the season. We hope that these arti- cles have helped improve your curlingbut even more important, that they have made your curling games more interesting and en- joyable. We have certainly enjoyed trying to help. a Lions Region Public Speaking Contest W.D.H.S., March 19, 7 p.m. THE PUBLIC 1S INVITED Stone School Loses 8-3 GORRIE-Gorrie won 8-3 over Stone School in the Belgrave arena on Saturday night, the second game in the best -of - five series in Inter -County In- termediate W.
