5%pstick served up in high school revue But cream pies missing The ridiculous is. however not to be ignored. Hollywood game shows received some of their just desserts at the hands of these TSS script writers. Tony Martin and Jim Linderman entertained later with some of their own material, competent in lyric and arrangement. To balance the big band sound, at well-planned in- tervals between the spoofs and gags, some fine con- temporary folk was offered. A special note Special note of Mike Cowie whose medley of four Lightfoot and Denver melodies demonstrated a voice with a true quality, which developed could become a really beautiful instrument. “The Newlywed Game“ and “The Mating Game", absurdities by nature, took on an aura of insanity as And the music was great! The KGB Dance Band (alias the Russian Rabbler set feet stomping early with rousing renditions of “In the Mood" and “When the Saints Go Marching In”. Slapstick comedy, just short of cream pies, was the order of the night as the revue “Health's a Poppin’” burst onto stage at Thornhill Secondary last weekend. 3:33 BLACK HAWK S'I'.

Dancing bricks The very best of the T85 humor came in the Monty Python interview of “Interesting People"; in- teresting people such as those who hypnotize bricks and those who believe they wrote Hamlet and those who spend their time giving other people influenza. Fascinatingl Since the world is decidedly chaotic, it is no surprise that the audience seemed to revel in this statement of absurdity on stage. Cleverly the stage crew was in tune with the show, being in fact a squad of goons determined to upstage the MC. lndiscreet One indiscretion on the part of a particular group called “Chris Anderson and Thank«you", cries out. Babies in the audience may well have taken ex- ception to their rather disrespectful handling of some of the oldest nursery verse of the western world. Surely, “Mary Had A Little Lamb", deserves better than an electric screaming guitar and a Tâ€" shirted minstrel with tongue in cheek.

Region’s largest Now the region’s largest complex with 120 bedrooms, the Parkway is also noted for its fine dining room and outstanding roast beef. Parking for 400 cars assures guests of con- venience and security during their stay. Growing with the com- munity seems to be the Parkway Hotel theme, as it produces meeting and convention rooms of a variety of sizes to hold groups from five to 250 with a total capacity of 1,000. Literally hundreds of companies have used the Parkway Hotel facilities since opening just 21/2 years ago. Now fully equipped with every facility including audio visual and special black boards. the 19 new meeting rooms are in con- stant demand. According to the superintendent Hugh Latimer, whose department arranges the set ups for business meeting rooms, many companies prefer containing their staff in the hotel complex during meetings of more than one day. Frequently even local residents become overnight guests, along with their out- of-town associates. Wedding chapel A first in Ontario the Parkway Hotel has its very own wedding chapel, not to mention its popular bridal suite with a white fur round bed and pink mirrors. Following nearly 14 months of new construction the Parkway Hotel, High- way 7 and Leslie Street, has completed its new addition. Host to many wedding receptions and an- niversaries, The Old English Roast Beef room has en- joyed its share of celebrities too. including Ralph Nader. Many parties are booked as much as a year in ad- vance. The Parkway has some convention bookings as far ahead as 1977. The English theme in- troduced by director Neville Grahams Cook is evident Parkway Hotel triples size From 4 pm. to 9 pm per child per person Mike Cowie Furnishings have been selected locally as well as throughout Europe. The imported lights were arranged by Lady Cynthia Thomas from Rotterdam. throughout the new meeting rooms. The warm effects of deep stained wooden sec- tions along with brick and interesting stucco touches create a relaxing at- mosphere. Manager Parker states that the hotel has one eye on costs and one eye on the rates passed on to the guest.

Located on the future Cloverleaf of the Don Valley (404) and Highway 7, the Parkway proposes to be even more central with the development of the Pickering Airport. Plans are now progressing for the next addition. In 1836 Mendelssohn wrote “I 'saw Elijah as agrand mighty prophet â€"â€" energetic and zealous, but also stern wrathful and gloomy”. by Geraldine Ferrara Mendelssohn’s ELIJAH has become a prime favorite with audiences, second in popularity among the world’s great oratorios only to Handel‘s MESSIAH. The work is in two sections. The first describes how the prophet brings on a drought in Israel to punish the people for deserting God for Baal. He challenges the prophets of Baal to a contest to determine who the true God is. Elijah emerges victorious. In the second part, Elijah is hounded by enemies out to destroy him. But under the protection of the Lord, he triumphs over them, and in the end is carried aloft to Heaven in a flaming chariot. He further explained: “I am particularly anxious to do justice to the dramatic element â€" I would fain see it vividly and sharply defined â€"â€" the personages should be introduced as acting and speaking with fervor; not to become mere musical pictures, but as inhabitants of a positive, practical world". via kaLark Holidays GLOBE TRAVEL 10.303 Yonge St. Richmond Hill 884-8191 889-2317 Division of Splendid Travel Service Ltd.

' The work was performed both at Seneca College and at Our Lady Queen of the World Church in Richmond Hill. In the opening chorus. “Help Lord,“ we clearly heard the terror and anguish of the people of Israel . .an impressive choral attack. clean and precise. There was a great union of chorus and or- chestra throughout; especially in “Blessed are the Men," where dynamics. articulation, vitality â€" that magic blend â€" worked especially well. “Truly Moving," I wrote in my program notes. Articulation was impressively clean, even in soft passages, with one notable exception. In the beautiful closing line of “Baal, We cry to Thee," this listener waited, alas in vain, for the final consonant of that poignant last line . . . “0 hear us“. Soloists lacking The soloists did not fare so well. For the most part they seemed remote and untouched by the excitement generated around them. They sang their parts competently, with good control. but very seldom stepped over the line between the devotional and dramatic, giving us mostly traditional “oratorio” sounds. James Bechtel was not a very commanding Elijah, especially in the opening prophecy of doom. We were not given the essence of the wrathful prophet in the first part, though Mr. Bechtel came into his own as a movingly-tragic and transcendent figure in the second half, singing with great warmth and control. Great promise Brenda Luka embodied the intensely- -dramatic feeling for her solo “Hear Ye, Israel," giving it a sense of urgency and hope, but her high notes have an edge to them that is completely foreign to the warmth and roundness of her middle voice. That she has grown in artistry and poise is obvious, and there is great promise for this young singer’s future. Erwin Powrie was suitably warm as Obadiah, friend of Elijah, and especially good in the con- trasting role of Ahab, but he, too, had trouble with his high notes. Great praise to the boys from St. Simon's Choir, who sang with the purity and perfect blend that one would expect from a choir of “angels”. Luka forceful It is in the forceful and dynamic hands of Edward Luka, conductor, that the success of the evening ultimately must rest. It was a giant task, for control of that number of performers is a for- midable undertaking. Mostsatisfying The most satisfying 5010 per- formance was from Janice Taylor, contralto, Her full-bodied yet flexible voice was as velvet in “Oh Rest in the Lord". Mr. Luka took hold, swaying, exhorting, leaping, controlling and the performers responded. Yves Able, boy sopranb, gave his weather report to Elijah in clear, piping tones.
