PAGE FOUR ONTARIO TODAY SATURDAY, JUNE 25 L ~~ How To Gain TV Stardom In 24 Hours BY BILL DRYLIE N the weird and wonderful ways of CBC television, Jack Kane came from the obscurity of a closed-off band room one Thursday to be a top flight on-camera TV star by Friday. Kane, one of Canada's genuine talents and perhaps the country's best musical arranger, was once playing third or fourth fiddle to Jackie Rae, now almost forgotten by Cana- dian TV fans but once a CBC star. On the day Rae lost favor at CBC the question was, who would replace him? Somebody looked in the band room where Kane in rolled-up shirt sleeves was swinging his baton and said: "How about him?" : From that moment on a new star began zipping through outer television space. Just recently this 36-year-old clarinet player signed up for three years because CBC was afraid he'd escape to Toronto's new privaté television station or to the new private TV network company to be chosen soon ° by the board of broadcast governors. There was a time when Kane had earned a spot in the. top CBC-TV ratings when the corporation fought with him over the name of his show. He insisted it be called the Jack Kane Hour; the CBC, never a company to build individual stars, refused. Kane like others was told the show counted most, not the star.. Now they're delighted to have him in the folder for the next 36 months where private television can't get at him. This year it's been Music Makers Present Jack Kane. Next year Kane might eventually win what only Wayne and Shuster and Juliette have been able to wring out of the CBC -- star billing! Jack Kane started life in England in 1924. His Sather was a musical comedy man and travelled in shows with Gracie Fields. When the family arrived in Canada Jack de- cided to take up music. He became a clarinetist (once taught music in Toronto alongside Joyce Sullivan, also struggling to make a musical career for herself). The result was that he became an arranger and an orchestra leader. Kane's clarinet playing would make a sick cat wish for death. He just isn't a top flight instrumentalist, but what he can do with other people's clarinets is now legend. Conductor, arranger and soloist Jack Kane.
