I could never understand why movielovers had to tolerate. a ten-minute monologue from Carson or Hope when all they really wanted was to see the winners and watch for their favorite stars in the audience. This year's Academy Awards special telecast was the best we've seen in years. Four different producers got rid of all this extra riffraff and moved the show along quickly, to little over three hours, almost an hour shorter than last year's boring production. Other awards shows would do well to follow their example. Acceptance speeches were limited 'to 45 seconds; in- troductions were kept short and sweet; and production numbers were limited to presentation of the five nominated songs (with fantastic >,dancing by Ann Reinking and Debbie Allen), which is really all that viewer's wish to see. The big winner of the evening was "Amadeus",` the story of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was named best picture and won Oscars for actor F. Murray Abraham, director Milos Forman, writer Peter Shaffer, art directors, costume designers and those working on sound and makeup. An emotional winner was Sally Field who claimed her second Oscar for her per- formance as the young widow fighting to save her late husband's farm in "Ptaees -in---the Hear -t" -4t- would have been wonderful if the Academy had honored Vanessa Redgrave for not only her superb work in "The Bostonians" but her in, credible talent in everything she attempts. What a nice touch of happiness it would have added to her day in England where, she was preparing for her father's funeral. But Vanessa's outspoken nature and un- popular views do not rest well with a grout, of artists who do not like to ruffle feathers. Another emotional win was that of Haing Ngor who took the supporting actor award for his first film role in "The KlllinjFields'.-This, story revolving around the Cambodian war closely depicted Ngor's own life and, more than any acting praise, he was pleased to win this for his people. Best supporting actress was Dame Peggy Ashcroft who starred in "A Passage to India", films a diversion from her usual career home on the stage. "The Killing Fields" also took awards for film editing and cinematography; "A Passage to India" was also cited for original music score :and Robert Benton won an Oscar for his original screenplay of "Places -in the Heart". Original musical score won an award for Prince of '`Purple Rain" fame; he looked as though he had just stepped out of a monastery! Stevie Wonder won the original song Oscar' with his "I Just Called to Say I Love You" from "The Woman in Red". Canada claimed an Oscar for the animated short, "Charade", produced by Jon Minnis, and a Canadian was also on the makeup team that won for "Amadeus". Special awards were won by producer David L. Wolper, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and Jimmy Stewart, for 50 years -of -outstanding. contribution-._ to the film world. A special award for us was the gathering in one place of superstars like Gene Kelly, Kirk Douglas, Burt Lan- caster, Cary Grant (how disgusting to see someone in his 80s looking that good!) and Sir Laurence Olivier, a magnificent performer sadly bowing to the -indignities of old age.

And I ffeel a 'little sad that my children and their chil- dren will never have a• chance to,visit such a vener- able institution because stores like McGillicuddy's have nearly all gone the way of the horses which used to be anchored in front off them. There are of course still stores in our country town, but they are not really country stores. They are all so bright today and so very busy. And for all the fantas- tic variety of goods now beg- ging for your dollar, many of the items which were staples at McGillicuddy's and his competitors have long since passed from the sight of men. Items such as stove black, lamp chimneys and wicks, Aladdin mantles, harness leather, waterglass (to winterize eggs), Dan- delion butter color, Pea - body's overalls "wear like a pig's nose", Royal Purple, guaranteed stock foods, Radway's regulating pills (one for a man two for .a. horse), sago, O'Keefe's stone ginger, Hire's root beer extract, surprise soap, gold soap, P and G soap (6 bars for 25 cents), Shamrock plug smoking; blackstrap brown syrup and coal oil in barrels, andcheeses you could sample before a hunk was cut off for you. , "Old cheese you're hankerin' for Pat? One with whiskers on? Well hang on till I go down cellar and un- chain one for you!" And the nerve centre of such an institution was of course the pot-bellied stove which, at McGillicuddy's radiated its Irish welcome between the merchandise counter on the right, the cub - by hole post office on the left and .with the nail kegs, feed bags and barrels behind. Contrary to popular legend the arguments which erupt- ed here were not always about bulls, boars and big potatoes; the politics of Richard 'Bonfire' Bennett; and the hockey of the Toron- to. Maple Leafs. And one winter Wednesday I shall al- ways recall with a smile the topic under discussion - there being no women present - concerned a cer- tain aspect of female anatomy. "Now this here you hear tell about tliem there Oriental women bein' built in a different direction, you think there's Any truth in that, Mike?" And Mike Finucane was just beginning a story he'd heard once from a sailor just back froth Shanghai and Singapore, when McGil- licuddy's, warning 'cut him short. "Change the subject, quick, lads! It's Himself comin' down the road for his Family Herald! ' `Himself' was Father Kir by, the priest. Which should have occasioned no surprise because the noon train was long gone, the mail all sorted and . this was the day the Family Heralds came. Father Kirby was a neigh- borly sort quite capable of banter, but there was never- theless a refinement about him which, when he finally went out the door, , left a rather disturbing odour of sanctity behind. And per- haps as a sort of atonement for being so lately titillated by the alleged talents of the women of Shanghai, the con- versation now turned to re- ligion. "Wouldn't you wonder now," Mike said, "just why it's us Micks and them there Baptists that does the most worryin' about hell? Us that's supposed to have the best chances of not arrivin' there? ..." It was a long discussion and most uncomfortable. One full of chains, whips, brimstone and burning sul- phur. Of being eternally chased by imps with red hot pitchforks. "Mind you," Mike said, never seem to hear Himself preachin' to us about them there red hot pitchforks. But he does talk sometimes about Lazarus down there with his tongue bakin', and beggin' for one lousy drop of water!" Someone tried to relieve the squirming by telling the others about a postcard he got sent- once from Ireland, "It was a picture of one devil chasin' another devil," he said. "Chasin' him with one of them there pitchforks you keep on mentioning! `Just one 'damned thing after another' the title said." But no one laughed right. Now next to Himself, Mc- Gillicuddy was probably the smartest man around, and because he had been listen- ing so quietly to all this fevered discussion, it was in- evitable .that he should be asked to contribute. "Well now," McGillicuddy began thoughtfully, "I don't doubt that I'm more of a skeptic on hell than an auth- ority, but I can't see the Good Lord being miserable enough to permit those red hot pitchforks and all those other discouraging things you've been rehearsing .. Mind now lads, I do think there's a hell! Oh yes, it's. in the . Book all right! Only there's noteally much 'about its geography and cli- mate in the Book and I'm pretty sure it's mostly a place of ' remorse, that's all . You know, a place- where we'll have to just sit around for a while - like we're doing right now may- be - only being made to re- flect on what damn silly fools we. were when we were up here on earth!" At which point old Matt Sheehy, who hadn't uttered a wordall afternoon, picked up . his Family Herald and head- ed for the door. "By God now, McGillicuddy," he said fervently, "But you do be takin' an awful load off my mind today!" And after the laughter had evaporated, the .discussion switched again to those won- drous women of Shanghai.
