Todo with JO ALDWINCKLE WOMEN'S EDITOR ~ » DIAL 3-2233 8 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, March 10, 1953 AUTHOR AUTOGRAPHS GIFT BOOK Mrs. James Morrison was the lucky winner of a book "The Sas- katchewan" at yesterday's meeting of the Lyceum Club and Women's Art Association which was ad- dressed by the author, Marjorie Wilkins Campbell. After the meet- ing the author autographed the book for Mrs. Morrison. Photo by Dutton--Times Studio Author Tells Club of Groundwork On Her Forthcoming Book, 'Ontario' Campbell of the Lyceum Club and Wom- en's Art Association yesterday aft- ernoon with her 'Revelations of Writer at Work". She also pointed out the value of Book Week which opens across Canada next Saturday. "Writers are important to every nation," she said. "What we think of ourselves, and what the outside 1d will think of us is in the hands of our writers. But, readers important too. A book is a life- thing on a shelf until someone was 80 much harder, the au- said, to write a book than to it. She described the studying, g and that engulf- 8 writer before he or she into of words. "A writer has no rest," she said. "He is always observing, storing riences and d h reminded Mrs. Sim- the Yorkshire coast she them Scarborough. In the way, into the far north plain left his name for future generations Today in northern Ontario where Canada has wealth abiding men were making their mark and leav- a name for posterity. 5 . Campbell spoke of Lake Wpissing. Temiskaming, Cobalt, ie Golden Mile at Kirkland Lake, Sudbury and Kapuskasing with its model inn, and Cochrane where a mere chance circus elephants [ ed the land for the school yard, she learned. "To Moosonee on James Bay she went and while watching an Indian an tan a moose hide at a smudge fire as her ancestors had done for hundreds of years, Mrs. Campbell heard the roar of a 20th century diesel locomotive as it sped on its streamlined way. The grain elevators at Fort Wil- liam and Port Arthur held her fas- cinated with their 'push - button" efficiency, and while flying over the Lake of Woods country a mem- ber of the party spotted an inci- pient forest fire. "It took but five minutes for the boys of the Lands and Forests de- | parfment to be on the wing ready with their fire - fighting equip- ment, from the time they received our warning. This was real aetion, | and contrasted strongly with the leisurely men and women we had | met at the many northern resorts." An exciting feature of the after- noon was the award of a book prize which was won by Mrs. James Morrison. The book was "The Sas- katchewan" for which Mrs. Camp- bell won the Governor General's award in 1950. Later the author autographed the copy for Mrs. Mor- rison. The speaker was introduced by Mrs. John L. Lay of Pickering, and Mrs. R. A. Wallace who pre- sided, expressed thanks.

Yud- kin of London's Highgate district said it isn't good for a baby to spend every moment of his time with his mother. "The idea seems to have grown up recently that young child needs nobody but mother," said the doctor. "But that makes the baby's outlook limited." More nur- series and nursery schools were needed.

Winnipeg Ballet Has Tonic Effect On Toronto Audience By BROCK BRACE The Royal Winnipeg Ballet made quite a splash in its current visit to Toronto's only regular legiti- mate threatre, With several new ballets, such as Gweneth Lloyd's "Shadow on the Prairie," 'The Shooting of Dan McGrew' and Arnold Spohr's "Intermede," the talented western troupe shows its ongoing, dynamic tradition of the dance. A capacity audience applauded these three ballets along with the Glazounov "Arabesque" (choreo- graphy by Lloyd) which opened the three-day stand on Thursday. This piece, described as a "classic- a] ballet danced in the traditional style of a grand divertissement" was of much the same form as that favorite of the Ballet Theatre repertoire, 'Concerto Barocco." The dozen dancers, led by soloists Jean Stoneham, Jon Waks and Marina Katronis, go through a series of crisp, stylized patterns mostly classical in content, but with an occasional nod to modern idioms. The simple decor by John A. Russell, and the striking red costumes prepared by Nicol- etti (who designs for CBC-TV) add much to the effectivertess of the ballet. In the same genre is Spohr's "Intermede'" to music by Cimar- osa, with exciting decor and cos- tumes, of yellow, brown and white in abstract mood by John W. Gra- ham. Tall Mr, Spohr, with his head of a poet, dances the lead in this one, doing the occasional pas-de- trois with Miss Stoneham and Eva Von Gencsy, and backed six other dancers, It is a gracefully conceiv- ed and strikingly executed piece. The story ballets on Thursday: might were 'Shadow on the Prairie' and "Shooting of Dan McGrew". The first, with strong music by Robert Fleming, is about a young girl from the East (af- fectingly danced by Carlu Carter) who is overwhelmed by the vast spaces of the prairies, and suc- cumbs to loneliness. The role has been justly called a prairie Giselle, and Miss Carter has all the tech- nique and emotional control to do it full justice. Her husband, as gajesa by Gordon Wales, is a fig- ur® of strength and sympathy. Audience enthusiasm, however, reached its pitch with the Robert 040 LOW-COST BEAUTY FOR YOUR FLOORS!

DIAL 5-3411 Service classic, decor and costumes by David Yeddeau, danced to punchy, derivative tunes strung to- gether in bumptious orchestration by Eric Wilde, musical director of the company, who conducted throughout. Miss Von Gencsy made a hit as the Lady known as Lou, while Roger Fisher and Mr. Spohr were delightful caricatures of Dan McGrew and the bearded, empty- eyed Stranger. Both the sets of these story bal- lets were masterly in design, and evoked spontaneous applause when the curtains went back. The or- chestra was somewhat spotty in performance, but came up to the big moments in "Shadow" and the white ballets such as 'Swan Lake', "Les Sylphides" and the delightful "Rondel", with music by Vivaldi. This young company is certainly well up with the best that come to us from the United States and across the seas.
