It will be a musical-comedy en- titled "Ligging About -, a hit revue that ran for more than five months in a Toronto tav- ern called The Dell. It is an hour of sketches and songs tak- en from the revue, which was written by Paul McDowell, The Festival hour will be produced oy Norman Campbell and dir- ected by Allan MacMillan. It stars the original four members of the cast - Diane Stapley, ;udy Armstrong, 13rian Crabb, and Paul Soles, No doubt, some of those names are familiar to you. Diane Staple)! and Brian Crabb appeared in a Festival produc- tion of "Iolanthe" last year on the CBC; Diane is a pert and pretty up-and-corner who is not only a talented singer and dancer but also a successful dramatic actress. She first gained fame a few years ago when she played the lead femme role in "The Fantas- ticks" on stage in Toronto.Judy Armstrong is a young western gal (Alberta) who wasn't well known at all last year but has rocketed to the top of the heap this year. Her CBC TV appear- ances led to guest spots on The Danny Kaye Show and the John Gary summer replacement series in the U.S. This sum- mer, she starred in two musi- cals at the Charlottetown Fes- tival in Prince Edward Island. Paul Soles is no stranger to us, being the star of the after- noon CBC show "Take 30". His first love was acting, though, and he had his first acting role at the age of four. lie's a Lon- doner, and an old pal to those of us who have at one time or another watched CFPL-TV. Since his high school days he has acted in or directed about 35 plays and a number of re- vues. In 1060 he won the 'best actor' award in the Dominion Drama Festival in Hamilton. Last year he played a dramatic role on stage in Toronto, quite a switch from his "Ligging About" antics. At the same time, as he was starring in 'Lig- ging', he was also faithfully holding down his little stool on "Take 30", a hosting task that he has held for the past three seasons. This past summer he wasn't exactly sittin' round doin' nuttin', either! He jour- neyed to jolly old England and other parts of Europe on a two- week assignment in London and Paris. He also did a series on Toronto's CBLT called "Char- lie Had One But He Didn't Like It So He Gave It To Us-, ( !I ) 'Now 35, Paul is papa of a young son, Jonathan David. His pretty wife Jean, who comes from near Paris, Ontario, studi- ed interior design before her marriage. "Ligging About" was taped before a studio audience, peo- ple seated around small tables in a night-club type of atmos- phere. Sets were designed by Robert Lawson. It should be a highlight.

The script is apparently great; and all the performers are fantastic alone so must be even more so together. 0--0--0 Wedding bells rang loud and clear in show biz circles last week. In New Jersey, actor Fabian Forte married a pretty Hollywood starlet named Kathy Regan. He's the fellow who dropped his last name and walk- ed on stage saying recitations. Some people thought it was singing, and he became the biggest thing since talking pic- tures! He is now a successful actor, and because of his com- mon sense and good planning is likely to remain one for a long time. In Germany, actress Maria Schell, sister of actor Maximilliam (Oscar winner of a few years ago) married her second husband, an Austrian producer named Veit Relin.
