Photo by Grant Simeon tMMv- w ¦¦i i up 2—TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, AUGUST 12.1988 Gélinas has success with English Passion at Piggery By Rossana Coriandoli NORTH HATLEY—Gratien Gélinas and Huguette Oligny brought an endearing presentation of a love that lasts despite the years to The Piggery Wednesday night.The Passion of Narcisse Mon doux is Gélinas’ latest play after more than 20 years of literary silence.The author, one of the greatest figures of both Quebec and Canadian theatre, is also making his way back anglophone theatre for the first time in many years.On opening night Wednesday, Gélinas starred in the play he wrote in 1985 especially for himself and Oligny, his wife of 15 years.And the crowd lapped ip up.The Passion is a warm account of the town of St-Esprit-en Bas’s ‘Master Plumber’, Narcisse Mon-doux and his attempt to win the heart of Laurentienne, the woman he has loved since his youth.On the advent of Laurentienne’s hus- band’s death, Narcisse finally finds the courage to make his move.LIVING OR LOVING Gélinas’s portrayal of the town’s ‘Master Plumber’, as he likes to call himself at every opportunity, goes further than simple comedy.For the audience he becomes the widower who is not yet finished with living or loving.But where Gélinas really endears himself to the audience is in his portrayal of Narcisse as the aging man who does not quite know how to deal with all the changes going on around him.As for Oligny, another great veteran actress of Quebec theatre, film and television, she was nothing less than captivating.As Laurentienne, she plays the widow of the town councillor who has political aspirations of her own.Oligny is wonderful as a woman who is a little afraid of the freedom she now has, but who is willing to take some chances in order to make her dreams come true.Gélinas script is a wonderful blend of comedy and tenderness, and his love for both Laurentienne and Narcisse is evident in every line of the play.The Passion of Narcisse Mon-doux, expertly translated from French, is worth every penny.This season’s winner for The Piggery.Stamps are proof of U.S.and Canada’s peaceful co-existence Gratien Gélinas and wife Huguette Oligny star in Gélinas’ first play in 20 years, The Passion of Narcisse Mondoux at The Piggery.It was eleven o’clock on the morning of April 25, 1959 when the Royal Yacht Britannia struck up the band and led an anxiously awaiting whistle blasting procession of ships through the St.Lambert locks of the St.Lawrence Seaway.It was the unofficial opening of the greatest canal in the world.Once more the countries of Canada and the United States showed the world how two peoples could live and work in harmony and peace.The official opening of that great event took place on the 26th of June of the same year when President Dwight D.Eisenhower and Queen Elizabeth attended the official ce- Restaurant up to the end of August, Thursdays and Fridays from 5 P.M.Summer Sfeast

countries issued identical stamps in design.First day covers were issued in various forms.I think the most important were those issued by the St.Lambert Stamp Club showing the St.Lambert Locks with a combination of Canada and U.S.stamps and, the first day covers issued from Mas-sena, New York, the site of the American locks.The Canadian issue of the stamp made headlines when an inverted center variety was discovered.The event was well imprinted in my mind for, April twenty-fifth was my wedding day and I had a front row seat, viewing the whole event from the balcony where we were to live, alone for my last few hours as a bachelor.You begin to realize you’ re not as young as you used to be when, twenty five years laterCanada and the United States issued dissimilar issues commemorating a quarter century of existence of the Seaway.There have been many border stamps issued by both countries to show the world how we live in peaceful co-existence.On August 2, 1948, the U.S.issued a stamp depicting the Niagara Railway Suspension Bridge.The caption reads, A Century of Friendship — Canada-United States.August 4, 1977 saw Canada release a twelve cent stamp depicting the PEACE BRIDGE.It was to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of that bridge connecting Fort Erie.Ontario and Buffalo, New York.The one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the birth of Sir Casimir Gzowski, the engineeer who built the International Railway Bridge across the Niagara River was marked by the release of a stamp by Canada featuring Gzowski with the bridge and an engine in the background.Canada’s Centenary was commemorated by the U.S.with the release of the May 25,1967 issue depicting a Canadian landscape.Benjamin Franklin, among other things, was the deputy postmaster general for the colonies from 1753 to 1774.To mark the U.S.Bicentennial, both Canada and the United States issued a stamp of similar design on June 1, 1976.The stamp shows Benjamin Franklin and the map of North America.The CAPEX ’78 souvenir sheet issued by the United States shows the wildlife that roams freely on both sides of the border.Despite the pettiness of our politicians, we have proved to the world that a peaceful co-existence between two nations can exist.Our stamp issues have proven that.There are other border stamps issued by both countries.It’s just a matter of looking for them.Your comments are welcome and may be sent to P.O.Box 688, Richmond, Quebec, JOB 2H0.4 TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 198Ü-3 Don’t treat politicians with respect, says Tadeusz Something that has gone oddly unnoticed by the public press is Canada’s new power to grant its own armorial bearings.Our freshly created College of Heralds encourages applicants to develop domestic emblems and not rely on the Old World’s belligerent mailed fists, birds of prey or ferocious beasts “red in tooth and claw.” In fact, Canadians are such nice people they might best be represented by “On a field Vert, a woodchuck Or, peacably fattening himself for the winter.” And for motto ; “Have a nice day, eh?” *** The World Court at The Hague has decided Americans should compensate Nicaragua for mining its harbors and killing its people.Rompin' Ronnie and his Bucka-roos say they won’t pay and are contemplating renewed military aid to the Contras so the killing can go on and on.The Sandinista government just celebrated its ninth anniversary by booting out the U.S.Ambassador for openly encouraging rebellion but the U.S.has been doing that there for at least 133 years.It is still to be decided whether Nicaragua will be governed for the benefit of Nicaraguans or Americans.FREEBOOTER Interference began when gold was discovered in California and Americans discovered Nicaragua had a convenient route from one ocean to the other.Cornelius Vanderbilt set up a steamboat-and-carriage line he called the Accessory Transit Company and had a financial interest in the way the republic was governed.In 1855, American freebooter William Walker landed with 57 just like him, overthrew the government and set himself up as President.The United States quickly recognized his government although he proposed — among other things — to re-introduce African slavery, but then there was a falling-out among thieves.Walker cancelled the charter of the Accessory Transit Company and Vanderbilt, no man to overlook a slight when profit was involved, sent his own agents to evict Walker and install a more amenable President.And so it went.When two other Americans were executed for fomenting rebellion in 1909, the U.S.Marines landed.They landed again in 1912, again in 1927 and that's when Cesar Augusto Sandi-no, then only 29, took to the mountains with his followers and vowed never to surrender until the Ameri-cans and their puppets were evicted.The Marines withdrew at last in 1933.Sandino surrendered and was promptly murdered by the U.S.-trained National Guard under General Anastasio Somoza Garcia.The General then deposed the president and took over himself.UNHAPPY LAND And so it went.The general was assassinated and his son took power.When he died, another son took over.When the Sandanistas won out at last, there were half-a- Who’s who By TADEUSZ LETARTE______ million homeless, 30,000 dead and much of Managua still in ruins from the devastating 1972 earthquake.The United States, instead of helping rebuild the economy, began encouraging yet another rebellion.And so it goes with that unhappy land.*** “.jes back from Nashville — Nashville, Tennsy?— en we had a wunnerful tarm, jes wunful!

(AP) — Paloma Picasso is not resting on her father’s laurels.At age three, she started drawing alongside her famous father, artist Pablo Picasso, who was then 71.Some of his talent seems to have rubbed off.Tiffany is selling her jewelry, she has her own line of perfume and she’s designing accessories that sell under her own name.During a recent interview, she took time out from talking about her own life to slam the latest biography of her father.Picasso: Creator and Destroyer, written by Arianna Stassinopoulos Huffington, is a gossipy, not well documented best-seller that has generated storms of critical protest.Sitting in a hotel bar near the Louvre, Picasso and her husband, Rafael Lopez Cambil, were in Paris to take in some fashion shows en route to Madrid for the opening of a new museum.“I haven’t read the book all the way through,” she said.“It bores me and I get upset with it.” “What I’ve read shows Arianna indeed doesn’t know anything about art.She just portrayed one side of the man, the negative side.It’s a self-serving book, written to prove its title, that Picasso was a destroyer.“I wouldn’t change anything about my father.We had a very strong relationship.” HARD TO FIGURE She doesn’t understand how the author persuaded her mother to co- she mebbe rat?Yew thenk she is?.Hello?.Hello?.” *?* It isn’t often politicians are praised in this corner—and it probably won’t happen again.The only sure way to maintain power in the people of a democratic society is to treat all government as an enemy.Start treating politicians with respect and they’ll be encouraged to treat the public with contempt.And vice-versa.COMMON SENSE But Gabrielle Bertrand’s speech before the House of Commons on the emotional issue of abortion must be singled out for its extraordinary common sense and understanding.She had pondered the subject a great deal, consulted her conscience, asked advice of her constituents in Brome-Missisquoi, family and friends, physicians and theologians.“They could only offer me their best wishes,” she said.As a Catholic, she said, she had to oppose abortion.As a woman, she could not inflict her morality on someone who might be desperate, or someone who “for reasons of her own and according to her conscience, holds convictions that are different from mine.” Abortion is an ugly business.Even those most devoted to the position that women should be allo- operate on the book.“I think it’s a shame,” she said.Françoise Gilot, the mother of Paloma, 39, and Claude, 41, lived with Picasso from 1944 to 1953, but was never married to him.She is now married to Dr.Jonas Salk, a medical pioneer in polio, and lives in California.After their mother, a painter, left Picasso in 1953, Paloma and Claude were raised in Paris and in their maternal grandparents’ home in the fashionable suburb of Neuilly.But they continued to see their father.He allowed Paloma the rare privilege of watching him work.“I was a quiet, little girl,” she said.“He would give me a pencil for sketching or let me color something he drew for me.But he never taught me how to draw ; he loathed the idea that art can be taught.” When Picasso died without a will in 1973 at age 92, his surviving relatives fought over the vast estate estimated at $240 million US.In 1977, an agreement was finally reached, giving Claude and Paloma a share valued at about $20 million US ech But they did not merely lie back and relax.Paloma, particularly, has kept very busy since she started designing jewelry for Tiffany 10 years ago.SEEN IN VOGUE She was photographed for Vogue, met and became a friend of Yves Saint-Laurent and was soon an avid fashion fan.Then came the Tiffany contract, and six years ago she and her husband moved to New York.wed to do whatever they choose with their own bodies must recognize that ugliness.Mme.Bertrand said she could support neither side, not the shrill ‘pro-lifers’ who count all life sacred no matter what misery it brings or the equally shrill ‘pro-choicers’ who believe even the father — though held equally responsible — must have no say in approving or disapproving an abortion.As in all such knotty problems, Mme Bertrand concluded, the thrust of legislation should be to en-courage and not to punish, to create the sort of society where women will want to have babies, not to make criminals of those who don’t.The government’s proposal satisfied neither side and both declared victory when it was defeated.Most of us were thankful we didn’t have to decide.VOTE ON ABORTION Henry Morgentaler picked Gabrielle Bertrand’s speech out from all the passionate rhetoric and praised it for its calm good sense.Francois Gérin of Megantic-Compton-Stanstead and Jean La-pierre of Shefford joined her in opposition while Sports Minister Jean Charest of Sherbrooke voted in favor.Both Brian Baloney and Gentle- “I love it,” she said.“It’s dynamic, stimulating.You can accomplish so much there.” More than a year ago, she laun ched her own perfume.Her sense of scents was another family gift, from her mother’s side.Her grandfather, Emile Gilot, was a parfumeur.He left his secret formulas in old books, and Picasso said she not only borrowed his ideas but General Sandino, leader of insurgent forces in Nicaragua.1 A*»/ Y man John Turner demonstrated their true commitment to difficult problems by making themselves scarce during the vote.Baloney, campaigning later in B.C., came out as opposed to abortion — whatever that might mean.His mother’s opinion was not recorded.used his elegant calligraphy for some of the scarf patterns in the new line.“Now we’re in a gypsy period,” she said.“We travel all the time, often to see artisans and factories making my accessories in other countries.Sometimes I have to work on things to make them work.” j-i t ; i't "FOR SHEER ROLLER-COASTER THRILLS, THE PICK OF THE CROP IS'DIE HARD'!" —Dovid Ansen, NEWSWEEK BRUCE WILLIS DIE HARD CINEMA CAPITOL 59 RUE KING EST SHERBROOKE 565-0111 Wl: 3:00

Stratford is less than a two-hour jaunt into the agricultural hinterland.Located, very much like its namesake, on a rich, rolling plain, this one-time market town hosts Canada’s tribute to the Bard and other theatrical fêtes.Setting out on a Wednesday or Saturday morning, one can lunch by the beswanned Avon River, catch a matinee, sup at one of the town's fashionable eateries and attend an evening performance before heading back to the city.On our most recent visit, we took in All's Well That Ends Well and King Lear — an equitable mix of comedy and tragedy, we thought.All’s Well is a play which anyone with modern sensibilities has difficulty swallowing.Helena, orphaned daughter of a physician, sets out to win the love of Bertram, son of a dowager countess who raised her.By curing the king with one of her father's remedies, she gets a royal edict to receive Bertram’s hand in marriage.Bertram objects to her low social standing but does not dare refuse the king.Instead, he escapes to sow his wild oats and seek adveneture in the wars without consummating the marriage.Bertram vows he will never accept Helena until she is in possession of his prize ring and bears him a child — something he will never allow.Discovering Bertram in pursuit of a widow’s daughter, Helena persuades mother and virginal daughter to assist her in a plot to entrap him.Were it notforthe title, All's Well might easily be mistaken for a tragedy.This is especially true given the production, directed by Montrealer Peter Moss, artistic director of Young People’s Theatre.We picked All’s Well because of our lackof famliarity with the play and the added bonus of Lucy Peacock in the starring role As expected, Peacock’s portrayal is worth seeing, a little melodramatic but what choice did she have with the play set in the inter-bellum American South?The atmosphere of magnolia and fortunes gone with the wind does not lend itself to raucous comedy.Lucy plays the innocent southern belle doing anything required by the times to get her man, but there’s no Rhett Butler to make it worthwhile.Bertram is a despicable character who lies, violates the moral code and shirks responsibility to maintain his freedom.It would require a gifted actor to convince us that Helena is not tragically humiliating herself in chasing him.Nigel Hamer is not the man for the job.He brings little more to the part than a belief in his own good looks.LABORIOUS PLAY Bernard Hopkins, who in the late 70s was head of Drama at Bishop’s University, creates the most interesting character in the production.Significantly, he is dressed in the garb of a European hussar and in his manner not hamstrung by the Southern code of ethics.Pa-rolles, who is all words and no substance, is the symbolic companion of Bertram.Hopkins brings life to this otherwise laborious play.It was an error in staging to posit the play in Dixie, an error in judgment to attempt to turn it into a melodrama and an error in casting or direction to tolerate the male lead as Hamer played him.The only truly moving moment in All’s Well is the grand entrance of Helena at its conclusion.But was the painful development worth it?King Lear has more life, probably because it is a production of Stratford’s Young Company, once again under the skilful direction of Robin Phillips.However, most of the major parts are in the hands of veterans.William Hutt appears as special guest artist while Peter Donaldson (Sheila McCarthy’s hub-bie) and William Webster put their considerable talents to good use not only in performance but also as counsellors to the Young Company.PRODUCTION’S ROCK No one has seen more battles than Hutt (102 productions at Stratford alone).Having grown long in the tooth in the profession, he has earned the right to play the king of tragedy and does a masterful job.Susan Coyne and Marion Adler, the ungrateful daughters, are young but seasoned, cold, calculating and beautiful.Donaldson as Kent, William Webster as Gloucester, are rocks upon which the production is built.The debutantes and those in their second season are the ones to watch for in the Young Company.They are challenged to compete with the best in the field and encouraged to take creative risks under Phillip’s tutelage.John Omerold, Albert Schultz, Stuart Hughes and Vincent Dale have the meatiest parts and make a meal of them.All members of the ensemble carry their weight but Hughes as the scheming bastard son and Schultz, the innocent rightful heir, make that extra effort and stand out, bringing something new to the parts primarily through body language and youthful enthusiasm.Youthful energy carries this potentially plodding play along.In the few instances where it does seem to bog, it is the old codgers who drag their butts, enjoying the angst of its poetry.SELLING LIKE HOTCAKES What else can you look forward to at Stratford?How about Murder in the Cathedral, a deadly excuse for a play by one of this century’s great poets.Thomas Beckett’s martyrdom by Henry II is certainly dynamite material but T.S.Eliot should have stuck with poetry rather than try his hand at verse-drama.Still, word has it that Cathedral is selling like hot cakes.People not in the know see it as a whodunit by the author of Cats.Stratford opened this, its 36th season with Richard III, first presented in the festival’s inaugural year, 1953.The solid cast includes former Festival Lennoxville standouts Goldie Semple and Susan Wright as well as regular Townships visitor Ann Casson, one of this country’s most under-rated actresses.Whatever we think of John Neville as Stratford’s artistic director, he shows his mettle as an actor in the role of Henry Higgins.Lucy Peacock is his Eliza Doolittle, an excellent choice for the role were it not for her weak singing voice.But, with a strong supporting cast, which includes Douglas Campbell (Casson’s husband) as Eliza's father, excellent writing and some of the best music ever created for Broadway, this is a winner.LATE SEASON Richard Ouzounian, former ar tistic director of Festival Lennoxville, always enjoys a good romp in his efforts to please a mass audience.What better vehicle than the staging of Dumas’s The Three Musketeers'! This swashbuckling production has just opened Stratford’s mid-season with the dashing Geraint Wyn Davies as D’Arta-gnan, an always engaging Nicholas Pennell as crafty Cardinal Richelieu and a supporting cast that responds well to Ouzounian’s fanciful flights.There are three more late-season productions.Irma la Douce, again with Douglas Campbell, and a double bill by the Young Company that may be hard to pass up — John Murrell’s new adaptation of Sophocles’ Oedipus and The Critic, a scathing comedy by 18th century playwright and politician Richard Brinsley Sheridan.For Townshippers, getting to Stratford is a long haul.The reward can be good theatre.Occasionally, it’s less than that.But the production values often make even a mediocre interpretation or disappointing work worthwhile.Where else can one see plays with a cast of thirty or more, fabulous costumes and breath-taking special effects?If a theatrical holiday is too much of a commitment, there’s always the possibility of catching a couple of plays on either a Wednesday or Saturday without even having to bed down in Stratford — should you happen to be in Toronto or the environs.The season runs right to the end of October.r John Neville as Henry Higgins and Lucy Peacock as Eliza Doolittle star in the Stratford Festival's production of My Fair Lady.Etpplecobe inn (819)838-4296 700 Ripplecove Road Ayer

everyday of running a farm is what Doreen BenenatVs art is all about, and her understanding of that life shows right through.By Rossana Coriandoli IRON HILL — Her paintings reflect the land surrounding her home.The rolling hills, cows, tractors, flowers, the everyday of running a farm is what Doreen Bene-nati’s art is all about, and her understanding of that life shows right through.Benenati’s art education was in graphic arts and painting, at Sir George Williams College, in her native Montreal.But she says she doesn’t like to be considered a graphic artist.She only went into the profession after she graduated in 1966 in order to support herself, as she knew she couldn't do it as an artist right away.Then, in 1985 she had her son, Stewart.“That’s when I started to paint,” she said.“Because I had to work.But it’s really hard, they (children) are so demanding.” “That’s when you realize discipline and will-power have a lot to do with it,” she added."A lot of women give up everything” when they have children.So Benenati tries to keep to a routine.She works three or four hours almost every night of the week."I got a good collection of paintings now,” she said.“You can’t stop or you get lazy.” Relaxing in what could be considered a back yard but is more like one large piece of land surrounded by the rolling hills in Iron Hill near Bromont, Benenati talked about what attracted her to painting rather than graphics."I enjoyed that part of it the best,” she said.“Advertising is part of the rat race.There are so many people involved, it’s never your own.“With painting it’s all my own," she said.Although she insists her style does not have any resemblance to the primitives, there do seem to be definite influences from that art form.But Benenati is adamant in Doreen Benenati is happy to say she is finally up.“Can’t stop now.I’m only at the bottom of the ladder — no, one rung up,” she said while relaxing among the beauty of her home in Iron Hill.: .- ¦ - j explaining the similarity away.“It ’s almost realistic, I won’t call it naive," she explained."Naive is Grandma Moses.No.it’s not naive.Everything is composed and calculated.” Whatever her influence, her paintings are definitely a style apart, particularly as the subject matter is taken directly from her every day life.One example of this is her use of Stewart in a few of her paintings, notably in last year’s Brome Fair poster.In it she depicted him pushing a wheelbarrow full of vegetables surrounded by a cow, a pig and a tractor.The painting the pos ter was printed from is about as representative of her style as could possibly be.It has all the elements of a Benenati piece.POSTER BEING SOLD Her involvement with the Brome Fair began in 1986 when one of her paintings was used by the organizing committee as the black and white cover of the fair's handbook.When someone saw the painting, they suggested making a poster out of it.Benenati followed the advice, and in return for permission to sell the posters during the fair she gave organizers the right to use the poster for advertising purposes.The poster is sold in poster stores around the Townships as well as at The Rose Window, a Knowlton art gallery which will hold an exhibition of her works in September.“It’s my first serious exhibition,” she said.“‘Serious’ means in a registered gallery.” Benenati said she has had exhibitions of her work in the past but it was “years ago, in those hippy days,” and never in an art gallery, only in “a waterbed store and a store where they showed student’s works.” She added it is difficult for an unknown artist to hold an exhibition at a recognized art gallery.“When you’re no one, you’re no one,” she said.“But one exhibition can open doors.” CHRISTMAS CARD But things are taking off for her.Not only is she about to have her first ‘serious exhibition’, but she has been selling her works to private and corporate collectors thanks to a friend in Montreal.And one of her paintings is also being printed as a Christmas card for fundraising purposes by Charcot Marie Tooth International, a support group for people with this muscular atrophy illness.But Benenati says she is not about to start relaxing now.“I have to keep producing,” she said.“Can’t stop now.I’m only at the bottom of the ladder — no, one rung up.“I’ve been at the bottom forever.” Benenati says she likes to touch on all subjects in her works, people, landscape, domestic animals, farm equipment.But she has certain preferences.“I lean towards masculine subjects more than feminine,” she explained.“They’re more fun.A tractor is very complicated, and the more detail in an object the more you have to sit down and study it.” fr-TOWNSHIPS WEEK-FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1988 Godspell opens with enthusiastic cast at Lac Brome By Rita Legault KNOW ETON — The final production of the Lae Brome Theatres summer menu, Godspell, opened Wednesday night with the two most important ingredients for big success: anentusiasticcastandan enthusiastic audience.The musical by Steven Scwartz, which includes such long time favorite tunes as Day by Day, was a big success on Broadway two decades ago.It is still pleasing crowds, although the version being presented here is somewhat updated to include more recent pheno-menoms like moon dancing and regional references to such local food as poutine.The eight actors/ musicians starring in the production are talented and, yes, enthusiastic.A lot of hard work by director Jack Langedijk has gone into the the characterizations, but the actors are natural and just seem to be having a lot of fun.The theme of the play, as its title implies, is religion.The source of material is the Bible and the characters act through a variety of scenes with which to make you laugh and make you think.The music is great and the choreography by Jeffrey Marc Rockland of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens is lively.BENEFIT PERFORMANCE All the members of the cast have splendid voices and do justice to the score, belting out up-beat songs and singing mellower ones with tangible emotion.Several cast members also accompanied the group including Eric Armstong on the flute, Dave Clarke on keyboards, Marc Ruel and Eileen Sproule on guitar, Julie Loma on piano and Tyrone Benskin on bass guitar.The cast is rounded out by Jasmine Roy and Nancy Irena Wood.Last evening’s play was a benefit performance for the Brome Lake Land foundation which since its inception last year has acquired important marshland around Quil-liams Brook.A cheque for the proceeds of the opening night performance on Wednesday was handed over to Peter Wade, one of the directors of the foundation marshland who explained the motivation behind the or- ganization.DECIDED TO ACT ‘When we realized that the cry of the loon became a little less frequent and we werent sure if the blue heron would come by and stand one-legged on the ends of our docks anymore we decided to act." he said.Wade said the swamp acts as a filter for water running down to the lake keeping harmful nutrients from geting to the lake and turning it green.Therefore the land trust has acquired this land to keep it in its natural state, Wade said.You can see this production of Godspell at the Lac Brome Theatre untill Labour Day when the theatre closes its curtains on its first season.Jf 'T- v*5 IN

YOUNG JOKESTER Born Paul Rubenfeld in Peekskill, N.Y., in 1952.he grew up in Sarasota where his parents ran a lamp store.Young Paul was a jo-kester, always putting on shows for the neighbor kids, later graduating to summer stock.After high school he spent a year at Boston University, and was then turned down by the Juilliard School and Carnegie-Mellon University.So he enrolled at the Disney-endowed California Institute of the Arts in Valencia.“When I first came out (to Hollywood), I thought people would discover you.then you became a movie star and they figured out a way to keep you a movie star,” he reflected.“I had an unrealistic view of what it was all going to be like.When I realized that I wasn’t going to be one of those people who were discovered, I decided I’d better discover myself.” In 1979, he began developing the character of a would-be comedian who is hopelessly innocent and un-talented.Pee-wee came from a one-inch harmonica, Herman from an obnoxious childhood acquaintance.Pee-wee Herman became a one-hour show he performed for a year at the Roxy theatre on the Sunset Strip, then taped for HBO.Late Night With David Letterman brought him more attention, followed by Steve Martin TV specials and appearances on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson.Pee-wee’s Big Adventure proved the comedian had wide appeal.He was one of the few who wasn’t surprised by the film’s success. TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY.AUGUST 12.1988-7 An oath to capitalism: The Donald Trump story Kaleidoscope By RICHARD LONEY ¦ \\ J L S ( ) N The Art Of The Deal: TRUMP by Donald J.Trump, with Tony Schwartz (RANDOM HOUSE) $27.95, 246 pp.As with everything else he touches, Donald Trump’s book The Art Of The Deal has been imbued with the midas touch that allows him to reshape the Manhattan skyline into megabucks Trump monuments.The book has become a bestselling non-fiction entry that attests to the curiosity the average reader has about how millionaires are created.Often maligned for his gigantic ego — the mouth that ate Manhattan — Donald Trump tells all about his developer strategies that have transformed the son of a successful Queens and Brooklyn building contractor into one of the richest entrepreneurs in New York City.Trump and his ghost-writer Schwartz fill in the interesting background to such projects as the restoration of the Grand Central Terminal and building the Grant Hyatt hotel adjoining it; the fabulously ornate Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue and 56th Street adjacent to Tiffany; the Trump’s Castle Hotel and Casino and the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City ; and the projected plan to build the world’s tallest building (superceding the Sears Tower in Chicago) and a giant complex to be known as Television City on a 100 acre waterfront tract that was formerly the west side railway yards.Trump provides a very cursory survey of his childhood, education and private life with his wife Iva-na, an ex-model whom he met during the Montreal Summer Olympic Games in August 1976.The focus of the book is the fascinating play-by-play descriptions of how Trump goes about putting a deal together.He can be mercilessly parsimonious — as revealed during his pursuit and eventual purchase of Mar-a-Lago, the Lake Worth, Florida home of Marjorie Merriweather Post, the cereal heiress.Mar-a-Lago was offered for sale at 25 million, with Trump eventually bidding 8 million and having his bid accepted — all this after his 15 million bid had been rejected and several insolvent bidders had made deals for the property which fell through.Deals are the substance of Trump’s narrative, but surely the most interesting aspect of this insight into a billionaire developer’s mind is the care that Trump takes with meticulous detail at his projects.He is a stickler about contractors bringing their buildings in on or under budget and on time.Reading about the enormously complex building projects Trump has guided through to completion on budget is a tragic reminder of the horror and graft that accompanied the Olympic Stadium fiasco in Montreal.Donald Trump would have brought it in at 30 million or so, and it would have been a masterpiece of design instead of the unsightly concrete (crumbling) toilet that exists! The Art Of The Deal is not concerned with the boring percen- tages and amortization figures of the number-busting cost-accountants, but it is a revelation about the outrageous gambles that daring speculators like Donald Trump have to take.Although Trump is often at pains to point out that his projects are most often funded by bankers’ monies, and the only time he personally guaranteed a contract was when he entered into the short-lived U.S.F.L.football venture.This book, along with the two by Lee lacocca, offers a glimpse into the machinations that create the enterprising capitalistic system that America seems to thrive on.After 18 years of choking Trudeau socialism.Canada is just beginning to realize that Donald Trump’s spirit is the alternative to the government-controlled, bot-ched-up economy that heaps taxpayers' money on useless dead-end projects.RECORD REVIEWS Brian Wilson Brian Wilson (Sire-Reprise-WEA) (Compact Disc) After waiting over twenty years for the rumoured album creation titled Smile.Beach Boys’ fans have been generously treated to a complete album by one of rock’s bona fide geniuses.Smile is reportedly forthcoming, but in the meantime we have this remarkable rebirth of the granddad-dy of vocal intricacy.Between 1962 and 1966 the elder Wilson sibling composed, orchestrated and choreographed vocally some of the most enduring “summer fun” music in rock history.After a long bout of mental instability and creative aridity Brian rises Phoenix-like in 1988 with an absolutely indispensible album/CD for any listener who appreciates the intricate, talent-inspired vocal aspect of rock and roll.Wilson, whose inspiration for early Beachies’ vocals was fostered by days of seclusion with only George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody In Blue” and a stack of Four Freshmen albums to digest, has found the sixties’ magic anew.This solo album attests to late brother Dennis's pronouncement once that “Brian is the Beach Boys ; we are just Ms messengers”.Brought back to a revitalized state of physical well-being by his analyst/pal/executive producer Dr.Eugene E.Landy, Brian pulls off the kind of opus mirabilus that lovers of the Beatles always hoped would materialize if only the Fab Four could have reconvened.Wilson has scads of auxiliary vocalists and instrumentalists on this record — Jeff Lynne, Christopher Cross, Dean Parks, Andy Paley — but the controlling rock intelligence is the inspired Beach Boy himself.To listen to this album and refrain from singing along with either the lead or background vocals (or both simultaneously, as aficionados failingly attempt!) would be an impossibility for any true lover of vocal rock.The eleven tracks range from the smooth harmonies of tunes like “Melt Away ”, or the authentic top-down, cruise-around song cowritten with ELO’s Jeff Lynne, “Let It Shine”.“Rio Grande” is an eight minute track that is a minor masterpiece — a rock suite that manages to showcase everything Wilson ever learned or imparted to his fellow Beach Boys about vocalizing."Baby Let Your Hair Grow Long” or “Night Time” would be the kinds of tracks that whole albums might be built around, but here they are merely two more songs that are woven into this album that leaves such an indelible impression on the istener.“One For The Boys” is an acapella vocal workout that openly salutes the miracle transformation Wilson pulled off in marrying Four Freshmen barbershop harmony chord-sliding with the infant rock genre in the early sixties.These songs cannot be lightly dismissed with the “surfin’ music” appellation that Beach Boys detractors usually sneer about.Brian Wilson’s genius for crafting pop rock has been buried in that giant sandbox he installed in his living room all those years ago.Either Dr.Landy — Brian’s private muse — or some god kind to aging rock stars has seen fit to use Brian’s one good ear (deaf in his right ear.the songwriting wonder has never heard his creations in true stereo!) to wonderful advantage.Brian Wilson is full of fun and melody the way that the sixties music was.In a decade that appears fixated on the nostalgic and the roots of rock, Brian Wilson should be a runaway bestseller.VIDEO SCREENINGS Good Morning, Vietnam (TOUCHSTONE VIDEO) After milking the Vietnam experience for about five pictures in a row Hollywood decided to inject a morsel of comedy into the genre, a la M.A.S.H., and who better for the task than Robin Williams.The consummate ad lib genius in the Jonathan Winters tradition, Williams plays Adrian Cronauer, an Air Force disc jockey recruited by the Army to spice up their morning show for the servicemen in and around Saigon in 1965.Cronauer, when Williams is allowed to play him at his manic, uncontrolled best, horrifies the army authorities with his irreverent wit and his desire to tell-it-like-it-is to the troops.The best parts of this rather broken-backed movie are the on-air segments when Williams is doing his droll voice bits — a faggoty fas- hion consultant worrying over what the men in the jungle are wearing for colour ; the black dude that he consults about the weather; or the soldier who’s been working in artillery who wants anything as a request, as long as it’s played loud.The alter-ego to Williams’s inspired comic banter is his contact with the actual folk in Saigon, when he becomes enamoured of a young Vietnamese girl and takes over her language class so that he can effect a meeting with her.This plot side-trip takes the movie into the relevance and commentary regions, with Williams able to see the di- MONTREAL (CP) — Torontonians will get to see pop music stars Bruce Springsteen, Sting and Tracy Chapman belt out their hits during a worldwide tour to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Amnesty International officials confirmed Wednesday.Confusion had arisen about the Toronto show because of venue problems, but Roger Clark, secretary general of Amnesty’s anglophone section in Canada, said the show will be held at Maple Leaf Gardens.The six-hour event will take place Sept.15 or 16, he said, adding further details will be

course be a moment of entertainment but also a moment where the people hearing the artists and seeing the films could become more aware about what’s going lemmas created by the American presence in Vietnam.Because the comedy is so good, this social bit apears almost tacked on, but it does serve to add some dramatic moments to a film that would have been rather limp without it.Williams goes far

Chapman and Sting, the core performers will include Peter Gabriel and Youssou N’Dour.Local acts who will take part in Montreal are Michel Rivard and Daniel Lavoie.Organizers said 10 Quebec acts had been approched but only Rivard and Lavoie, both Amnesty members, answered the call.The artists will not be paid but techicians will be.Amnesty concert tour making it to Toronto 8—TOWNSHIPS

the best of plots, but the movie tends to appeal to the highschool crowds it portrays.The showtime is 7:15.Also at the Princess is, again, Who Framed Roger Rabbit.This movie is making so big at the box office that you can’t really blame them for running it week after week The movie stars Bob Hoskins (of Mona Lisa fame) as a down-and-out detective who befriends a Bugs Bunny look-alike.The movie

Merrill’s is Eddie Murphy in his latest Coming to America.In this one Murphy plays African Prince Akeem, who goes to America looking for a wife.Some pretty good gags, but it looks more like a chance to show naked or near-naked women than anything else.Showtimes are 7 and 9:25.Finally at Merrill’s you can also see the sequel Short Circuit 2.Really, the original movie wasn’t even good, why go and do it over again.In this latest, Johnny Five, the robot with the cutsy one-liners goes to the big city.Only one showtime, that is the matinée on Saturday and Sunday at 1:55.Who Framed Roger

during Olympics, try the yogwans By Lee Su-wan SEOUL (Reuter) — Hotels are already booked in Seoul for the Olympic Games in September, but rooms are still available in the traditional Korean inns known as “yogwans.” At 76 hotels earmarked by Olympic organizers, 17,000 rooms were booked months ago “sodon’t waste your time,” said Choi Jae-il, an assistant manager at the Korea National Tourism Corp.He advises tourists seeking accommodation during the Sept.17 to Oct.2 Games to try the yogwans, which at the equivalent of $18 to $30 Cdn a night are a bargain compared with the $120 and up at luxury Seoul hotels.Yogwans were once known for their rough-and-ready facilities, including spartan washing equipment and pallets on the floor for sleeping.But most yogwans in the Seoul area now offer rooms with Bird Lane, hard to miss, full of goodies and advice By Maggie Fox HONG KONG (CP) —For more than 20 years, bird lovers have been flocking to an alley in Hong Kong called Hong Lok.Stacked along either side of the narrow, two-block-long alley are cages holding thousands of green singing finches, colorful lovebirds, squawking mynahs, parakeets, cockatoos, doves and countless other nrds.Hawkers sell tiny porcelain water dishes, carved wooden cages, good luck charms for birds and bird goodies like grasshoppers, grubs and birdseed.Bird-fanciers stroll up and down the alley, stopping to admire a blue-and-yellow macaw or chatting about what to feed an imported eockatiel.Advice is swapped on the best kind of sand to use in the bottom of a cage, how often to bathe a bird, or when to cover its cage with white cotton.Bird Lane, as this short stretch of Hong Lok is known to tourists, is hard to miss.The squawks, whistles and chirps can be heard from several hundred metres away.Bird cases spill on to the main streets adjacent to the alley.Men walking with covered cages show the way.PARK PROPOSED But there may be changes in store for Bird Lane The Hong Kong government is considering a plan to revamp the area by building a park there.The 80 or so stalls on Hong Lok street would be moved to a new, indoor market.It’s the same policy used, with only partial success, for meat and vegetable vendors.Hong Kong’s urban council built a series of neighborhood markets and told the hawkers to rent stalls in them.But custom, the vendors complained, dictates shopping on the street — literally.Hong Kong’s street markets are dirty and noisy and block traffic, but that’s the way people seem to like them.Several hawkers obediently rented stalls in the new three- and four-storey markets, then returned to the streets to sell.LOSE CUSTOMERS Many of the bird vendors fear they would lose business if moved to a multi storey market.‘ ‘ People like to wal k in at street level,” said Lo Pak Leung, who has been selling bird feed on Bird Lane for 10 years.“They will not walk up three floors to look at birds.” Another bird seller complained that an indoor bird market would be dirty and smelly.After hearing the vendors’ complaints, the government now says the redevelopment plan may be altered to save Bird Lane, and that in any case the park would not be built for at least a year.STOP FOR TEA Luckily for bird lovers, the lane is not the last place left where they can congregate.Whatever happens with the park plan, there will still be the nearby Wan Loi restaurant, and others like it which cater to bird owners.In Hong Kong, it’s believed that birds are healthier and happier and sing more if they are around other birds.It’s not unusual to see a man (bird lovers all seem to be male) “walking” his bird— swinging the cage gently to make the bird flutter.Sometimes the cage is hung in a tree, but more often the bird lovers meet at a tea shop.At the Wan Loi, bamboo poles are thoughtfully provided to hang the cages on, and the men lounge on blackwood chairs, chatting, sipping tea and munching dim sum.None seem to mind the noise, or the inevitable smell.Cage doors are opened and the birds lovingly stroked.Early morning, around 5.30 a.m., is the best time to catch regulars.But the Wan Loi is busy all day.double beds and private baths.MANY AVAILABLE Seoul city authorities have designated more than 300 yogwans in the capital as Olympic accommodation to help solve the problem of hotel shortages.Choi said that as of Aug.1 only about a third of the 10,000 yogwan rooms were booked.“Though yogwans are not as luxurious as tourist hotels, their facilities are not bad,” said Choi.“Most Olympic yogwans have air conditioning systems and even color TVs.Most are conveniently located near the competition venues for the Games and just a few minutes away from restaurants, subway stations and entertainment facilities for night life.” A Seoul travel agent said: “Because of hotel shortages, we have no choice but to recommend foreign tourists to stay at yogwans during the Games.But almost all of them are reluctant.” REFUSE BOOKINGS The agent said his company and other travel agencies in Seoul in recent months had been turning down bookings by thousands of tourists because they had applied for Olympic tours on condition they stayed at hotels, rather than yogwans.“Another major problem,” said the agent, “is that many tourists are insisting that travel agencies secure them tickets to the opening and closing ceremonies for the Games, and this is extremely difficult as the stadium seats are accounted for.” South Korea’s tourist board, which aims to attract more than 200,000 foreign visitors to the Olympics and wants to build an international reputation for Seoul as a major holiday destination, has belatedly launched a yogwan publicity campaign.While tourists are struggling to secure accommodation in Seoul, the Olympic family — athletes, journalists and sports officials — will encounter no such problems.APARTMENTS READY Construction was completed in June on 122 highrise apartment buildings in southern Seoul to house 13,000 athletes and officials and 6,000 foreign journalists.And about 8,000 hotel rooms in Seoul have been reserved by the Seoul Olympic Organizing Committee to house officials from the International Olympic Committee, national sports federations and companies sponsoring the Games.With the mass of visitors expected, city authorities have introduced drastic measures to avoid traffic jams.Private drivers in Seoul will be allowed to use their cars only on alternate days.Drivers who fail to comply with the regulations, based on whether the licence plates are numbered odd or even, face fines equivalent to $165 Cdn.Games organizers say Seoul’s 116-kilometre-long underground train system, which links almost every Olympic facility, will play a vital role in carrying spectators.Athletes, sports officials and journalists accredited to the Games will be able to use subway trains free of charge.Exhibition honors Dracula creator By Paul Majendie DUBLIN (Reuter) — Count Dracula is alive and well and lurking in the archives at Trinity College in Dublin.The bloodsucking monster dominates a permanent exhibition at Ireland’s most famous university, honoring his creator, Bram Stoker, whose novel launched a horror industry and spawned dozens of plays, films and books about Dracula.But visitors need not defend themselves with a stake, a clove of garlic or a crucifix.The university’s Bram Stoker Room is open only during daylight hours.Most of the memorabilia was donated by Leslie Shepard, 70, an avid academic researcher in the world of the occult, who thought it was high time that Dublin, rich in literary tradition, recognized Stoker’s worldwide fame.“I felt.he is an Irishman not honored in his own country,” Shepard said in an interview.“It took 40 years for James Joyce to be accepted in his own land.He is now established as an Irish hero.The W.B.Yeats poetry industry has only been kept alive by American scholars.” MODEL WAS VLAD The centre-piece of the exhibition is a first edition of the 19th-century masterpiece of gothic horror which Stoker modelled on Prince Vlad the Impaler, a bloodthirsty 15th-century tyrant who lived in what is now Romania.From that emerged Transylva- nia’s Count Dracula, swirling through the night with his black cape and blood-soaked fangs.His “undead” corpse would rise from a coffin as darkness fell, take a vampire’s form and suck the blood from live victims, who then become his slaves.Speculating on the popularity of the tale, Shepard said: “It’s fascination with the occult, the unknown, that which is feared.It has a psychological attraction at a very profound level and there are sexual overtones with all the Freudian images.” Shepard is the founder of Ireland’s Bram Stoker Society, which carefully keeps the ghouls out of its lectures and film shows.NO VAMPIRES “It attracts people with an obsession for blood drinking and the occult,” Shepard said.“We try to get rid of these people.We put up a bar against them.We also don’t want teenagers messing around.We get applications on how to become a vampire.“Stoker certainly has generated an enormous amount of books, plays and films,” added Shepard.“In America, there is huge interest in him and lots of scholarly theses.There is a Count Dracula Fan Club in New York.Britain has a Dracula Society which is very lively.” The exhibition traces with photos, letters, books and bloodcurdling posters the life of Bram Stoker, born in Dublin on Nov.8, 1847.Shepard tried to interest a Bri- tish businessman in purchasing the house where Stoker was born as a permanent museum.But that fell through, as did plans to put a plaque on the front of the house.“The man who lives there said a plaque would upset his children,” said Shepard.“People still knock on his door and ask for Dracula.” MANAGED ACTOR Stoker studied science at Trinity College, became a civil servant at Dublin Castle and then worked as drama critic for a city newspaper.He married Florence Balcombe, a friend of flamboyant author Oscar Wilde, and moved to England where he became manager to the great British actor Sir Henry Irving for 27 years.The exhibition includes the 1901 first paperback edition of Dracula, billed as “the world’s most horrible thriller.” “The original manuscript has been put up for sale by a Californian book dealer for $1.5 million,” Shepard said with a sigh as purchase is clearly beyond his means.Appropriately enough, the walls of the exhibition room are painted blood-red and the casually strewn sheets of paper that make up the visitors’ book are laid out on a blood-red baize tablecloth.Many students have visited the exhibition, with one scrawling “Eat me Drac” beside an illegible signature.But in bold and fearless letters is scribbled the most striking comment: “At last, something I can get my teeth into — Vlad the Impaler.” TOWNSHIPS WEEK—FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 198&—11 Skvorecky, informing politically naive Canadians By Mark Bastien TORONTO (CP) — “The trouble is,’’ Josef Skvorecky says as tactfully as he can, “Canadians are too nice.” The Czech-born author is sitting in his Victorian-era home discussing whether Canadians are politically naive, something he asks in his new book of essays, Talkin' Moscow Blues.Canadians — by luck of history born and raised in a liberal democracy — simply can’t imagine life By Judy Farah UNIVERSALCITY,Calif.(AP) — The Last Temptation of Christ, a film that is enraging segments of the Christian community for its reinterpretation of the Bible, is drawing mixed reviews as art on the secular front.Included in the film is some nudity, Mary Magdalene plying her trade as a prostitute, and the scene that has most outraged its antagonists, in which the crucified Jesus hallucinates he marries her and has sex with her.Film critics who viewed the R-rated movie in a Universal Studios screening room Tuesday, including Michael Medved of Sneak Previews, Charles Champlin of the Los Angeles Times and Bob Thomas of The Associated Press, said they were unimpressed overall.“It’s the height of irony that this level of controversy could be generated by a movie this awful,” Medved said.“An intellectual exercise of the What if?variety,” Thomas said.‘At times moving, often overwrought, and at least 40 minutes too long.” Daily Variety raved about the film."A film of challenging ideas, and not salacious provocations,” the industry paper’s review said.And Time magazine's Richard Corliss wrote in this week’s edition: “Those willing to accompany (director Martin) Scorese on his dangerous ride through the Gospels may believe he has created his masterpiece.” DEFENDED FILM Scorsese, who also directed Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, defended the film Tuesday night on under the oppressive regimes of Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe, the 64-year-old emigre says.“Certain things to them sound unbelievable.“They can’t envision a system in which a young girl can’t go to high school because her grandfather didn’t hang out flags on the first of May.” NOVEL WON AWARD Skvorecky — who fled Czechoslovakia after Warsaw Pact ABC-TV’s Nightline show.Regarding the sex scenes, he said: “It was important to show him go through all the steps of an ordinary life, to be married, to make love with his wife for the purposes of having children.” He denied any blasphemous intent.“I’m a Catholic, raised Catholic,” he said.“We have a right to explore God in our way.” As the critics watched, 150 protesters, none of whom had seen the film, rallied on another part of the studio lot to castigate Universal and its parent company, MCA Inc.At the climax of the protest orchestrated by Rev.R.L.Hymers, a Baptist preacher, a mock crucifixion depicted a bloodied Jesus screaming as a man portraying MCA chairman Lew Wasserman nailed him to a three-metre-high cross.Wasserman, encountered later, would not acknowledge a reporter’s questions.Earlier protests have drawn charges of anti-Semitism.Other Christian ministers denounced a march led by Hymers at a synagogue where he thought Wasserman worshipped.There was no demonstration outside a New York screening.Regarding the protests, Scorsese said: “I am not surprised at people being shocked by the idea of it.Not everybody’s going to like it.” But, he added, “I’m surprised at the anti-Semitism that’s been brought around in the protesting.WORK OF FICTION “It’s very important that people understand this film is not based on the Gospels.It’s based on a work of fiction.” troops invaded in August 1968 — has documented life under Communist rule in several novels, including The Engineer of Human Souls, winner of the 1984 Governor General’s Award.Talkin’ Moscow Blues — containing essays on politics, literature, films and jazz — is the author’s first non-fiction collection.But Skvorecky, a University of Toronto English professor, insists he doesn’t mean to offend Canadians when he writes they are igno- Scorsese said he was bothered by the Roman Catholic church’s objectionable rating.“It disturbs me I know but I do know the church has to protect what they feel is its flock.I do know that the book (on which the movie is based) is used in seminaries at times to open discussions.” The U.S.Catholic Conference said Tuesday it is urging the country’s 53 million Catholics not to see the film.The furor is likely to boost the movie’s fortunes, said Harold Vogel of Merrill Lynch Co., an entertainment industry analyst.Richard Hirsch, director of communications for the U.S.Catholic Conference, acknowledged that dilemma, saying: “It'sa case of damned if you do and damned if you don’t.” The film, which opens to the public Friday, depicts Jesus as tempted to resist divinity, until the point of death on the cross.Protestant fundamentalists, notably Rev.Donald Wildmon, a United Methodist minister who heads the American Family Association in Tupelo.Miss., and Rev.Jérry Falwell, have been campaigning against the movie.Their protests have escalated since Universal rejected pleas to destroy the film.Universal responded by accusing protesters of censorship and moving up the release date.The $6.5 million movie is based on the 1955 novel of the same name by Greek author Nikos Ka-zantzakis.It stars Willem Dafoe (Platoon) as Jesus, Barbara Her-shey (Hannah and Her Sisters) as Mary Magdalene and rocker David Bowie as Pontius Pilate.rant about East Europeans and insensitive to their problems.Sometimes one has to be cruel to be kind.“Somebody has to tell (Canadians) there are certain things they should know,” Skvorecky says, almost shouting over the noise of a road construction crew' drilling on his street.“I’m not asking my neighbor, who’s a night watchman, to be knowledgeable about communism.” WHO SHOULD KNOW But Skvorecky does ask that people who inform the public about the east bloc know what they’re talking about.He became “quite excited and frustrated” a few years ago when he read newspaper stories by a Winnipeg reporter about a state-sponsored peace conference held in Czechoslovakia.The reporter concluded that life under Communist rule is not that bad and “repression?It’s certainly well hidden.” A mild-mannered, cherub-faced man, Skvorecky is not given to mean-spirited tirades against Communist sympathizers.But his cheeks flush and his speech quickens as he talks about leftist friends and “other gullible westerners” who insist that life under totalitarian dictatorship has been unfairly maligned.What’s even more infuriating, he says, is when people say he’s anticommunist because he suffered so terribly in Czechoslovakia.“This is such nonsense,” he says, shaking his head.NEVER IN JAIL “1 was a popular writer (in Czechoslovakia),” says Skvorecky.“I was never in jail.I had all the best.It’s true my first novel (The Cowards) was banned and confiscated, but that’s not so unusual for writers there.“In fact, I was quite lucky.It was priceless promotion for the book.” Skvorecky says he is not an embittered exile simply bashing a system that mistreated him.Instead, his personal knowledge of the system — and other political systems Czechoslovakia has known, including nazism, Stalinism and the so-called “socialism with a human face” of 1968 — led him to the “rational conclusion the system is not right.” All his books are now banned in Czechoslovakia, and as far as the government is concerned, he doesn’t exist.Neither he nor Paris-based Milan Kundera, probably the two most popular living Czech writers, are listed in the state’s most recent who’s who of Czechoslovak writers.And the liberating duo of glas-nost and perestroika — openness and restructuring — supposedly sweeping the east bloc aren’t likely to change that, Skvorecky says.Talkin' Moscow Blues, by Josef Skvorecky.Published by Lester and Orpen Dennys: 384 pages; $17.95.166 WELLINGTON ST.SOUTH SHERBROOKE, QUE.From 7 30 .am to 11 00 p.m.café pâtisserie

Steinem, who investigated the often painful life of Playboy Bunnies by becoming one, in A Bunny's Tale, Sunday, Aug.14, on ABC.Kirstie Alley stars as Gloria Steinem on ABC Film based on story about Playboy Bunnies By Anne Wheeler It’s hard to picture noted feminist Gloria Steinem in the skimpy figure-sculpting costume, spiked heels, pointed ears and fluffy tale of a Playboy Bunny, but in her early days as a journalist she did just that, and her story will be retold in A Bunny’s Tale, Sunday, Aug.14, on ABC.Kirstie Alley of NBC's Cheers portrays the young journalist who underwent the startling hiring process, the unique Bunny training program and the unusual encounters of being a Playboy Bunny for a story for Show magazine.As the film opens, it is 1963 and ads in New York are touting a Bunny’s job at the new New York Playboy Club as one of the most exciting and lucrative posts to which a woman could aspire.On a cold January day, freelance writer Steinem reluctantly agrees to do a fluff piece about what it would be like to work at New York’s most tantalizing hot spot.As she begins to fit in with the others, they drop their glamorous facades, and she begins to comprehend the loneliness and degradation of their lives.She finds herself at odds with her editor, who fights her growing insistence that his superficial assignment can yield a serious piece.The movie is inspired by Steinem’s 1963 article, which was first published in Show magazine and is now the lead piece in her best-seller Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, as well as in her memoirs.In keeping with the spirit of the person she plays.Alley said she insisted on keeping A Bunny’s Tale clean.“I had a reputation after A Bunny’s Tale of being a good actress but not the easiest person to work with," she admits.“I had been insistent that I didn’t want the show—or me—to turn into some trashy T&A routine.” *A IWX The TV Livimtt Group, Iik lion et de meurtres envahit Los Angeles.PG' 2:300
