Townships week a____as IhBGUVU Friday June 26 :v * F Orford’s music festival page 3 - 2—TOWNSHIPSWEEK, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1981 Mary Martin accurately depicts her area’s scenery By MERRITT CLIFTON KNOWLTON - The Eastern Townships’ scenic spiendor can’t really be captured in any museum, but Mary Martin’s 40 new oil paintings almost do it for the Brome County Historical Society.On display through this Sunday, June 28, Martin’s 40 cover much of Brome-Missisquoi and the Austin’s Bay region, with exquisite color and detail.Increasingly recognized as the Townships' leading scenic artist, though still young, Martin not only lives up to her past reputation, but also hints at branching out Her style remains precisely realistic, yet is less and less so-called ‘photorealism.' Paintings such as ‘Crittenden’s Sugar-Shack’ and ‘Sandy Martin’s Sugar-shack’, contrasting, can be viewed as either literal representations of traditional maple sugaring.t Mary Martin's work shows signs that she may be considering branching out and trying new types of paintings.or as emotional renditions of early and later spring, an- I ticipating environmental change Without directly-depicting people, or providing any sort of overt literary content, Martin suggests the shifts in attitude underway, from viewing the land as an exploitable resource to considering it a priceless heritage - almost too late to save some of the best of it.Any Martin painting of a historical site tends to embrace the history as well as the present atmosphere there.Abandoned buildings on Clayton Manual’s farm near West Brome gain perspective from an old-fashioned hayrake rusting amid tall grass.Here we see at a glance the transition from family to corporate agriculture, and the result in people leaving the land.Martin might do more from imagination, and could grow by tackling human as well as scenic and architectural subjects.Meanwhile, no one else assembles as impressive an array of old barns - round barns, gabled barns, barns of every size and purpose, each drawn with uncompromising accuracy and W The artist captures the feel of the object that she is trying to depict in her painting without resorting to photo-realism infectious fascination.Martin's barns alone would make a significant museum exhibit, an exhibit equally worthy of the National Gallery, the Museum of Man, or the Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa.Her lakes and ponds capture the essence of ecology, acknowledging the importance of each plant, each animal, where most scenic artists tend to emphasize the eye-catching and dismiss the rest in blurs and shadows.Martin never paints blurs.What she paints, she paints to be seen, and to be un- derstood.Her work is not only recognizable, but vividly, intensely the sense of presence of the original subject.The Brome County Historical Museum archives and records room isn’t the great outdoors; filled with Martin, however, it almost smells of hay and trees.Czech composer tries not to bore OTTAWA (CP) — “I don’t want to be bored, and I try not to bore the audiences,”is the way Vaclav Kaslik, internationally-recognized Czech composer-conductor-stage director, says he approaches his work.He and Josef Svoboda are here to co-direct their third opera in the National Arts Centre’s July festivals, now-known as Festival Ottawa, Opera Plus.Together they did Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades at the centre in 1976 and it was revived here in 1979.They returned in 1977 to do Ariadne auf Naxos.Now- they are undertaking one of Mozart’s lesser-known works, Idomeneo, which opens the festival July 4.The opera rarely is performed in a full stage production, although its music is often heard in concert.FIRST MATURE WORK Idomeneo, the tale of a an ancient Cretan king, is Mozart’s first mature work.Commissioned by the Munich opera 200 years ago this year, it contains some of Mozart’s finest musical inventiveness.For the Ottawa production, U.S.tenor George Shirley will sing the title role.Mark DuBois, Toronto-born tenor who won the CBC Radio Talent Festival and has been with the Canadian Opera Company since 1978, will sing Idamante.Comedy course makes people comedians LONDON (CP) — Maybe you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but you can teach a new dog old tricks, especially when it comes to comedy writing.That’s the idea behind The Television Comedy Writing Course, a program that has been making comedians out of otherwise normal people in Britain for several years.Now the course is being offered to Canadians as well.The program was devised by British funnyman Brad Ashton, who has been a successful television scriptwriter for 25 of his 52 years.The way he sees it, almost anyone can learn to be funny.“Comedy can be manufactured,” he says confidently.Sherbrooke hospital holds benefit night The Sherbrooke Hospital Ladies’ Auxiliary is sponsoring a Benefit Night at the Piggery Theatre on Friday, July 17 at 8 p.m.The play that night will be a current Broadway hit: Death Trap (a thriller - comedy) starring Canadian actor Michael Shepherd.The play will be followed by a Wine and Cheese, and an opportunity to meet the play’s cast.The cost is $10 per person and an enjoyable evening is promised.Contact Mrs.Joan Abdalla at 565-0537 for further information and tickets."Writing is not an art, it's a science.Anyone can learn the ingredients, the formula.” The formula is explained in eight lessons that take the student from how to invent gags and rewrite old ones through to writing sketches, satire and situation comedy.The final lesson tells new writers how to sell their scripts.It’s basically a correspondence course which Ashton runs from The Comedy Writing School in London, a tiny attic office crammed with reference books on humor.OFFERED IN TORONTO In Canada, the course is run through the Granton Institute of Technology in Toronto, although Ashton hopes to start a course in Montreal soon.There are just over a dozen incipient comedy writers taking the course in Toronto this spring.They read the extensive study material provided at a cost of $240 and then send their own scriptwriting efforts to Ashton for criticism Students in Britain have the added advantageof lectures, which Ashton gives periodically during the eight-week course.Graduates, he says, are qualified to write scripts, although he concedes they won’t be of the highest standard because that takes experience.He can’t guarantee a job for his students, but hastens to add that there is a large international market for comedy writers.Of more than 200 students who have taken the course in Britain, Ashton claims 68 have earned back more money than they paid for the lessons.“You don’t have to end up as a comedy writer," he also says.“Two of my students ended up as dramatists.” Kaslik, composer of three operas and three ballets in his own right, says Idomeneo is being produced on three levels First, it is a story out of the Greek classics.Second, it was written and is being produced in baroque style.And third, it has a modern application, the conscience-stricken experience of a man returning from a bloody war.WORKED AT EXPO Svoboda, chief designer and technical director at the National Theatre in Prague for 30 years, is probably best known in Canada for his design of the Czech pavillion at Expo 67, the Montreal world's fair.He also has taught at the Banff Centre school of fine arts.For the opera, he has carried out the classical theme in his set — a stage-filling sculptured head of Neptune.It comes apart in layers to be regrouped about the stage as a backdrop for various settings.Kaslik will carry the baroque nature of the opera through in the costum es Resigned by Richard Lorain of the CBC, and in his directSn of stage movement.Because of the ornateness of what people wore 200 years ago, they were accustomed to stand and move differently than they do in modern dress.The director staged a similar production of Idomeneo recently in Vienna.The opera is being staged here for four performances in Italian.This summer's Opera Plus festival also includes five performances of Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto and three of Benjamin Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, opening July 11 and July 17 respectively.There will be concert versions of two other Mozart operas, Bastien et Bastienne and The Impresario, and 11 chamber music concerts. TOWNSHIPS WEEK, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1961-3 Orford’s music festival attracts thousands By Nelly Young The annual migration to Mont Orford Provincial Park is more than a holiday trip for nature lovers and campers Like the Pied Piper, Jeunesses Musicales of Canada has, for the past 30 years, beckoned aficioados of refined music to the Orford Arts Centre.Nestled at the foot of the mountain, occupying 222 acres of park land, the Orford Arts Centre opens its doors to over 400 students in the summer.These 14 to 30-year-olds come for master classes in music, mime, theatre and art history, taking part in one of three three-week sessions.But thousands more flock to some 60 events which make up Orford’s annual international music festival.From June to August, the Arts Centre is the site of regular concerts, colloquia and art exhibitions.According to publicity director Bertrand Morin, last year's International Music Festival was the biggest and best yet.The big attraction was a series of four concerts by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Charles Dutoit, which took place for the first time at the Eglise St-Patrice in Magog Its climax was the first full performance with choir of Beethoven's Symphony No.9 in the Eastern Townships.Every year, it seems a new highlight is introduced to the Festival.In past seasons, events were scheduled for five days each week.This year, the entire week is laid out and each day has been earmarked for a specific type of event.For the first time, Sundays will feature special activities.In the afternoon, there will be hour-long excursions into the woods where enchanting airs will greet visitors from all corners.Guides specializing in botany and ornithology will be on hand to provide information on the park’s wildflowers and bird population while student musicians make music.Each Sunday, two such “Sons et Nature" outings will be accessible to visitors (at 2 and 3 p.m.) free of charge.Early Sunday evening has been set aside for light music from around the world.Depending on the weather and on the particular style of music, these concerts may be held outdoors, in the dining hall or the Gilles Lefebvre Concert Hall.And to satisfy appetites whetted by the hot rhythms of South America, the gay operettas of Vienna, the swinging sound of American jazz or the marching gait of German oompah-pah, a culinary feast of hot or cold buffets, national dishes from whichever country happens to be highlighted musically on any one Sunday, will be spread out for the hungry.Those who care to indulge whole hog will be set back $6.The concert alone is $3, the meal, $4.50.The rest of the schedule follows the pattern set in previous years.Fridays and Saturdays are reserved for the main concerts of the week $7 and $8 respectively.Heading the list of accomplished performers to be heard on these occasions are the world-famous Prague String Quartet, the renowned Borodin Trio (whose members defected from the Soviet Union in 1976), virtuosos violinist Jacques Israelievitch, well-known Quebec pianists Claude Savard and Louis-Phillipe Pelletier, Uruguayan classical guitarist Alvara Pierri, Chuck Israel and the National Jazz Ensemble and many more.Again, Charles Dutoit and the Montreal Symphony will offer concerts in Eglise St-Patrice, but only two have been planned this year.The Abbaye St-Benoit du Lac will continue to host Saturday afternoon recitals.Some of the above-mentioned performers, along with others, like organists Genevieve and Bernard Lagace, the Montreal Brass Quintet, violinist Martin Foster and pianist Henri Brassard, appear in this pristine setting Mondays have been set aside for vernissages.On exhibition will be paintings by Richard Sylvestre and Michel Perrin, silk screens by Rachel Gaudreau, Doucet-Saito's exquisite pottery, photography by Eric Daudelin, prints from the Banque Nationale collection and wood engravings by Rene Rivard, sculpture by Jacques Huet, Andre Bergeron’s lithography and the tapestry of Paulette-Marie Sauve.In addition to these exhibits, which can be seen in the various salons and lobbies at the Centre d’Art d’Orford for at least a two-week period, public workshops and demonstrations will be held throughout the summer from two to four in the afternoon.Resident craftspeople will preside over sessions in painting (Sylvestre), jewellery (Pierre Brassard),batik (Arlette Carreau-King-well), diamond engraving (Gilles Desaulniers ), sculpture (Jacques Huet) and prints (Helene Richard).A variety of speakers will give talks on music or the visual arts on Tuesday evenings.Young artists will have an opportunity to show off their talents during regular Wednesday night recitals ($5).Among those to be heard are the vocal Ensemble Anonyme, 15-year-old Ontarion cellist, Ofra Harnoy, the Robert-Marcotte-Gray trio of violin, French horn and piano.Free student concerts take place regularly on Thursdays at 16:45.But, on Thursday, July '** i

a student concert ( which takes place earlier in the day), there will be a rather special evening performance by the Orford String Quartet Formed in 1965 at the Jeunesses Musicales camp which their name enshrines, the Orford Quartet will return to its origins for a concert celebration marking 30 years’ existence of the Centre d’Arts d’Orford The Centre developed gradually from rather humble beginnings.In August of 1951, the Quebec government offered Jeunesses Musicales of Canada two abandoned chalets on the park grounds By 1966 the JMC Orford had received a provincial charter.Ten years later it had an autonomous administration under the general direction of its present artistic director, Jean-Claude Picard, a professional tenor and music prof who, last August, was elected chairman of the International Federation of Jeunesses Musicales.Orford was the first camp of its kind to develop within this federation.Gradually a complex of buildings emerged in the skirt of the woods.The first was a 500-seat amphitheatre - the Salle Gilles Lefebvre, completed in 1960 by Clermont Pepin who was inspired by Our chef is ready to go crazy for you!

I’m so tahred of bubbling under.” Hawkins began bubbling under in 1957 when he left Arkansas and drove to Canada in a '52 Chev.He played the Toronto bar circuit, for three years had his own club, the Hawk’s Nest, and consistently assembled great backup bands; in fact, the Band —-Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson and Richard Manuel.He blames congenital bad luck for the stardom that never quite arrived, the record deals that died, the part in the disastrous movie Heaven’s Gate.Ronnie Hawkins had to fill in at the last min-ute for Mitzi Gaynor.Hawkins saw the opportunity as a chance to promote his new record.,‘wmÊÊm'WÊÊBtemÊÊÊmn Levon Helm - Gut-wrenching vocals and innovative rhythm patterns PHOTO/JEAN LAPORTE MiM Ex-ringer watches Peace tower work CANADIAN PRESS What does the country's official bell-ringer do when he is deprived of his bells?Gordon Slater, the Dominion Carilloneur, has been studying ball bearings.And playing guest recitals, cataloguing his music and generally keeping an eye on the reconstruction of the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill where the 53-bell carillon is undergoing some modifications.The tower closed on Labor Day last fall.The federal works department is installing a new elevator to the observation deck, just below the clock, and making other improvements for the public — and for the people who, like Slater, have their offices and work situated high up in the 110-metre structure.The carillon was installed and officially dedicated on the 60th anniversary of Confederation in 1927.It was part of a revival of keyboard-played bell instruments which began at the turn of the century after lying dormant for about 200 years.MACHINERY OUTDATED But it was already out of date from a mechanical point of view.The conservative English instrument makers didn’t use all the latest ball-bearing and spring devices which could have made the Peace Tower Carillon a superb instrument.Some of that work now is being done.The metal rods, levers and weights that connected the keyboard to the bell clappers were set in bronze bearings that had to be kept greased and oiled, attracting dust and grit which caused wear and heaviness in the action.Slater has been studying new ball-bearing devices, along with stainless steel rods and other devices that will be installed to make the bells easier to ring, more flexible in volume and generally more responsive to the recitalist.Normally Slater plays a recital every day at noon on the Peace Tower bells.He has made two long-play records, Peace Tower Christmas and, with the Canadian Brass, Bells and Brass, and hopes to make more once the carillon is restored in the spring or summer of 1982.QUARTERS IMPROVED Life will at least be more comfortable for Slater when the tower work is completed.The tower will be air-conditioned and it will have running water for a washroom, something the original builders considered an unnecessary luxury.Until now, the Dominion Carilloneur had to leave a window or door open so he could hear the music above the clatter of the keyboard.That wasn’t pleasant in winter temperatures dropping sometimes to 30 Celsius.Even in his office in the tower, with all the storm windows the works department could install, drafts would blow the papers off his desk.And in the summer, the sun blazing on the one-metre-thick stone walls of his tower office converted it into an oven that took weeks to cool off.In the rebuilt tower, the keyboard for the bells is being moved to a more central location, so that the linkages to the 17 big bells below him and the others in two storeys above him will be less complicated.He will also have an electronic monitor — a kind of super public address system — so that he can hear better what he is playing or adjust the tension on the keyboard more precisely by turning up the volume.These adjustments have to be checked every time he plays because of climate changes. TOWNSHIPS WEEK, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1981-5 Stratford Season misses spark: Shaw misses mark Without Festival Len-noxville this summer Eastern Townshippers are being forced to turn to the other remaining drama festivals to get their annual dose of theatrics.The Stratford festival, attempting to revive its dying reputation will present four new plays this year and the Shaw festival, whose popularity relies mostly on the playwright from whom they get their name will be presenting five.The Stratford Festival’s 1981 season, which opened recently with four plays, is clearly a conservative effort to regain its shattered confidence.Each of the productions has merit, but none of the opening performances was completely satisfying to this reviewer.None of the shows had that elusive stylistic spark that in recent years set Stratford apart fromother theatres in the country.The festival since last fall has gone through an emotional administrative and artistic wringer in the selection of a successor to artistic director Robin Phillips.John Hirsch, the new director, suggested when he took on the job in January that it might be better to close the festival for a year.It was primarily the loss of jobs and the disruption to the local tourist economy that would have resulted that brought the festival together to stage this year’s program.Opening this week were two Shakespeare plays — The Taming of the Shrew, and Coriolanus — a Moliere classic.The Misanthrope; and a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, H.M.S.Pinafore.Four other plays are to join the repertory in August and September.Everyone will make his or her own assessment of the production.These are this reviewers thoughts about the new season, based on 40 years of play-going and almost a decade of watching Stratford closely in particular SHREW POPULAR Likely to be the most popular in box office appeal is the Peter Dews production of Shrew starring Len Cariou and Sharry Flett in the widely known battle between lord and lady-wife for mastery of the newlywed household.Moliere’s The Misanthrope.directed by Jean Gascon, the country’s foremost authority on the classic French playwright, starred Bedford in his fifth season here, and the role is one that seemed to ha ve been written specifically for his stage manner.But it is not typical of Moliere and did not prove on opening night to be as exciting a piece of theatre as Stratford audiences expect in these times.H.M.S.Pinafore was treated with fresh good humor by director Leon Major, and the music directed by Berthold Carrière had all Sir Arthur Sullivan’s distinctive wit and lilt.Eric Donkin had the required foppishness for Sir Joseph Porter, ruler of the queen’s na-vee.But if anything, the others were almost too well cultured musically.Instead of lightness and farcical bite, the production tended to reach for the standards of grand opera.The Shaw Festival now underway opened three productions last week which are to run in repertory until October, with one of them to be called back to the bench and replaced at mid-season.Only the obscure English farce, Tons of Money, can be counted as a real hit The flagship of the festival season, George Bernard Shaw's Saint Joan, was fine in conception but faulty in performance.It might settle in as the season progresses and perhaps become a second hit The third entry, Nikolai Erdman’s outlawed Russian political satire The Suicide failed to win many plaudits An awkward play, it was performed as broad farce when it might have worked better as comic drama played with bitter seriousness ADDS OTHER WORKS The Festival will add five other works to its repertory as the season progresses, including two more Shaw plays — In Good King Charles’s Golden Days, and Man of Destiny — Arthur Wing Pinero’s The Magistrate, Robert David MacDonald’s Camille, and the Broadway Mountie musical, Rose Marie.From July 4 to mid-September the festival will occupy three theatre spaces in this historic old village, Upper Canada’s first colonial capital.It hopes next season to replace the tiny Court House auditorium with a new 600-seat, tent-like Pavillion Theatre.The opening week’s program raised the key question, what is summer festival theatre supposed to do?Preach?Condemn?Or just entertain?Tons of Money does the latter, without a doubt.The whole tone of summer festival theatre was clinched when showers of colored balloons rained down on both cast and audience at the final curtain calls.It was the only one of the week’s openings with enough festivity to win an ovation.English director Derek Will Stratford's seats be as empty this year as they were last year?Festival organizers are praying that they won't.Stratford is known for more than just its Shakespearean productions.The Servant of Two Masters was one of the plays presented last year.1 71 P Goldby and clown-comic Heath Lamberts shared honors with Barry MacGregor, Robin Craig, and Jack Medley in the play.Lamberts, MacGregor and Medley also appeared in Saint Joan, directed by festival artistic director Christopher Newton MacGregor was a fine chauvinistic English curate, and Medley an excellent French archbishop.But as the Dauphin, Lamberts hadn’t an opportunity in the confines of Shaw’s script to 14J U.S.AIR : £ -j o 1 n UJ O X ë display his comic talents as he might.Joan of Arc was played valiantly by Nora McLellan as a sexless patriot driven by her vision to save France from the English in 1472 She displayed pert simplicity, purpose, humiliation when forced to knuckle under to the Inquisition, and exultation when recanting and going to the stake.One of Shaw’s most awk ward plays, Saint Joan at the Shaw Festival employed many Siratford Festival theatre-in the-round tech niques.Costumes were gorgeous, sets sparse, and there was meaning in the play’s action mounting from earth to sky.i oCe provençal RESTAURANT (Elfef (£uenU|er (Biiomacn (ülom) uiljo tfaa been aeruing
