What a fine actor this man is developing into.” Son. too David, himself, draws constantly, she says. and also has written several books - mostly science fiction. David is 12, she is branching out a bit from her job as a supply teacher of art and geography in North York. Mrs. Nickle has taught at Georgian College in Huntsville; in a one-room school at Kenora Indian Reserve; and was vice- principal at Don Head Secondary School in Richmond Hill in 1974-75. Mrs‘ Nickle‘s exhibition will feature people for the most part, because that‘s what she‘s “mostly in- terested in." These works, too, are “the best of what I've done over the past 10 years‘\ she said. a book looking at the inner-city people of Toronto and their lives.

Set in the time of an- cient Greece, the plot centres around one of the labors of Heracles; in this case he has to obtain a royal belt from a civilization ruled by women. And he just might find that the people in his mother‘s world are even more exciting than those who inhabit that one way off in outer space that he designed for himself. She also did many of the illustrations for “Core”, If, somehow the press doesn't get to see her works, maybe she can tear that son of hers away from his science fiction writings long enough to look at them in a critical capacity. “I‘ve been exhibiting my works since 1966,“ she said. “and have never been reviewed.“ “I learned how to do it on my own and then went to school to see if I was right“ â€" Mrs. Nickle is interested now in seeing if other people feel she is right.

Levy, is certainly a play with a difference Although physically a towering hulk of a man, Heracles is repeatedly frustrated by the wit and subtlety of his female opponents.

The two make a formidable assault on the humorous potential in the author‘s lines, especially their puzzlement when they realize they really are in a woman‘s world.

With this supernatural intervention, naturally the scenes become chaotic, sometimes hilariously so. ' Gracefully done Vickery Cook plays the lovely Queen Antiope with sensitivity and grace, especially in the early special Christmas program, Dec. 10 at St. Gabriel‘s Church, Willowdale, and Dec‘ 11 at Trinity United Church, Newmarket. Edward Luka will conduct the concert, which will feature 8 Carol Cantata by David Ouchterlony, plus a Christmas Cantata by Geoffrey Bush. Dr. Ouchterlony, principal of the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto. will be on hand to introduce his cantata, which features great Christmas carols from different countries. The second work, by English composer Bush, features music of a lively nature that should appeal to all. For tickets, ‘call 297- 1577, or 884-4532. John Illingworth . volcanic fury OPEN EVENINGS Oppo scenes when she spins words which confuse and baffle Heracles and Theseus. Pat Kantaroff plays the unlikely role of a woman blacksmith in an Amazonian community in a convincing manner which generally gets laughs from the audience. But, while the laughs flow as the play reaches its climax, the un- dercurrents of erudition, which were present in the early scenes, never seem to develop beyond simple comedy. A pity really. The early dialogue gave some promise of making us think more deeply as we examine the ab- surdities of Man. But the p r o m i s e n e v e r materialized. It is a good play with many funny moments, but it is not a great play. The sets and costumes were excellent and a vast improvement on the last production when, for some reason or other, the standard of set design suffered a severe lapse. Set design was by Michael Matyas and costumes were by Martha Mann. The play was directed by Cicely Thomson and will run for a further two weeks. Brian Moore turns from acting to directing in the Curtain Club‘s next production, All In Good Time. which will run Jan. 28 to Feb. 12.
