The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-03-25, Page 16Page 8 Wingharn Advance -Times, Thursda , Mar, 25, 1965 'Tis Show BIZ Review week March 10-1'7 Perhaps for some people, "Country Hoedown" has not been the same this season with- out the Hames Sisters who had been regulars since the show be- gan in 1956. They sang lovely close harmony, brought three more pretty faces before the cameras, and although they can't dance Horth two hoots and a holler, they were good sports and always willing to try anything. This year they de- cided to quit 'Hoedown' and branch out into something dif- ferent. They talked about their new work on" Take Thirty" with Anna Cameron and Paul Soles last Monday afternoon. They are now travelling in Canada, playing one-night stands, I presume doing some TV work (although they haven't been back on the CBC much, looking. forward to the summer fairs, and entertaining in a few night clubs where, Marjorie admits, 'we don't fit in too well'. They look the same as they did;they aren't the type who change their hair -color to match every new dress or mood. They are singing nicely too, and this, in itself, proves that they have not been idle. When some singers return to television it is most painfully obvious that their singing has been limited to the shower in past months! But not the Hames kids. They do one of the best arrangements Ihave ever heard of "This Little Light of Mine" which they often sang on 'Hoedown', and now they have the opportunity to sing pop songs and beautiful old standards by Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Richard Rodgers, Hank Mancini, etc. , which would have been out -of -place on a country show. All the girls still live in Toronto; Norma and Jean are busy housewives, Mar- jorie still resides at home with their parents and spends her spare time writing arrangements for them to sing. She and Nor- ma are going to play western fairs during the summer and autumn months; Jean will stay in 'lofbnto awaiting the birth of he -first child, She is mar- ried'to Dave Newberry, a Tor- onto musician who accompan- ied them on their appearance here in 1960. These will not be the first little feet to patter about during their rehearsals. Norma has a young son, Alan. 0--0--0 "Razzle Dazzle", the popu- lar kids' show on CBC each weekday, has gained new rec- ognition with the arrival this season of a new host who is re- ceiving rave reviews for his kV Vona lee efforts. Ray Bellew has been a familiar face in CBC dramatic shows like "Playdate", "On Camera", "Quest", "Heritage", "Festival", and many more for a number of years, but this is the first time he has hosted a show and been allowed to play himself. Ray was born in Mon- treal, and raised in Nova Sco- tia. At the age of 16 he made his television debut, and has worked steadily since that time in radio, on television, on stage, and for the National Film Board. At 25, he has yet to make it to our Stratford, but no doubt, he will be seen there before too long. He is married with two children, a boy and a girl. His hobbies are playing chess, writing, listening to jazz, fishing, watching movies, and reading. So if the young folk in your house have fallen head over apple cart for this handsome lad, there's a wee bit of info about him. 0--0--0 Hollywood's most eligible bachelor girl has left the ranks and probably disappointed more gossip -mongers than bachelors. Kim Novak, at the ripe old age of 32, which must be a record for Hollywood, was married for the first time last week, to an English actor, Richard John- son, who worked with her on her latest picture "The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders". He has been married once be- fore and is now divorced. Kim has been linked romatically with almost every unmarried man in Hollywood, and quite a few elsewhere. Once, she was expected to wed Mac Krim but that faded; she moved on to Rafael Trujillo, son of the Dom- ii__can Republic dictator, who bought her cars, furs, and jewels; then to movie director Richard Quine who divorced his wife to marry Kim, then backed out; and television producer Jack Haley Jr., whom she met while filming "Hollywood and the Stars". He is the producer of that show. Last year, while in Ireland to film "Of Human Bon- dage" , she met English writer Roderick Mann, and when she came home to America he fol- lowed her. The English have the inside track lately, but it was Richard who followed her and spent Christmas with her and her parents, sister and fam- ily, in Chicago. "This must be it!" everyone whispered, and they were right! The wedding took place in Aspen, Colorado, while they were supposedly on a skiing vacation.

The final encounter was played in Listowel Tuesday evening. The team includes, front, from the left: Gordon Rinn, Keith Elston, Neil Beiman, Larry Robinson, Wayne Hopper, Owen Fear, Clayton Bosman, things like this and when I do, they're often wrong. But much as I would like to see every- thing come up roses for Kim, I have my doubts. She is a very ambitious gal, and after receiv- ing so many corny roles she is only now beginning to prove that she can act. She will fight to get to the top, and if any- thing or anyone interferes, there will be big trouble. Of course, married life may change her; I hope so. Pee Wee Team Takes Trophy BELGRAVE- Congratulations to the Belgrave Pee Wees who on Tuesday captured the trophy for the Tri -County league.

Luck o' the Irish Holds for Belmore BELMORE-Irish or not, they must have said that they were, and a Belmore rink surely had the magic blessings of the 'lit- tle people' when it walked off with first prize in the 11 dclock Curlers Active During the Week The members of the Wing - ham Curling Club were invited to a friendly game at Stratford last Wednesday. One rink com- posed of Mrs. Joe Kerr, skip, Mrs. Don Nasmith, vice, Mrs. Norman Elliott, second and Mrs. Doug Rathbun, lead accepted the invitation.

JUDGE RELENTS The hardened prisoner, who had served 45 of his 73 years in jail, was again before a judge for sentencing. I find you guilty on all 26 counts," said the judge, "and I sentence you to five years on each count to be served con- secutively," The prisoner burst into tears. "But that's 130 years, Judge," The Judge said in a softened tone. "I didn't mean to be so harsh. I realize I have im- posed an unusually harsh sen- tence, entence, so you don't have to serve the whole 130 years." "Oh, thank you, Judge," the grateful prisoner replied. "Just serve as much as you can," the Judge added. draw in the St. Patrick's mixed bonspiel held at Harriston on March 17.
