His most dramatic role, he says, was that of the tough sergeant, who, ordered the execution of a soldier in the CBS movie, “The Execution of Private Slovik," and then had doubts of his guilt immediately afterwards.

See How They Run was written by Philip King. and is set in the early post-war years when the Berlin Airlift had tran- sformed Britain's Russian allies into potential enemies. The plot is too unlikely and too complicated to explain on mere paper, but involves several clergymen who get mixed up with an escaped Russian spy. Liberal columnist Jim Irving plays the Russian and if you’ve read his columns, you can now judge his acting. (By an uncanny co-incidence, Jim also plays Boris, the Russian chess player in one of the current TV beer com- mercials â€" he's the one who gets check-mated). opens Feb. 19; Lord, Luck and Goat Manure by W.O.

Dynamic debut Terry Gosling makes her stage debut as Ida, the cockney maid with a penchant for the humourous quip. Her timing and sense of comedy are great and her stage presence is that of a veteran. Joan Harold again displays her quite remarkable acting versatility as a prim and proper English spinster who gets mixed up un- wittingly in some drunken, bawdy scenes. This woman can play anything, from an elegant aristrocrat, to a helpless drunk with excruciatinglv funny body mowm She. Every moves she makes, every word she utters, eloquently ex- presses the playwright‘s intentions. Both the Vicar and his wife â€" played by Dennis Stainer and Bonnie Sheppard â€" give ex- cellent performances. So do David Phillips, as a corporal who poses as a vicar, and Clive Ryland, who plays the Bishop of Lax. All work as a team in the action-packed comedy scenes, where timing is vital. Masterpiece I thought Eric Kosky was particularly good as the visiting vicar who innocently wanders into a chaotic, fast moving situation. His naive reaction was a masterâ€" oiece of theatrical un- derstatement. reducing the audience to a helpless laughing mass. TV show looks at unsolved murders As the thoroughly tough, no-nonsense, military police sergeant, Derek Miller gives a beautifully crafted cameo performance. His stance, his accent, his parade ground way of barking out orders, the way he bristles, then stiffens to attention â€" all have the ring of authenticity that a man with years in the army naturally gives off. But Derek served in the Navy, so the conviction he radiates is pure theatre. Set-back The only real criticism I can make is the set. Never have I seen such a poorly constructed, badly decorated backdrop to such superb theatre. But I “Code 1078” was written, directed and produced by Milad Bessada.

TORONTO â€" It's been five years since two foster children. en route to Richmond Hill to visit one of the girls’ foster father, were slain. The latter is police parlance for “officer needs assistance.” The program looks at un- solved crimes and the double murder of Lee Kirk, who was 15 at the time, and Kathleen Potter, who was 13, will be the first of seven.
