a real challenge ...................................................................... Weekend, € He went home and told his wife Ann he thought he should give up acting. Fortunately he hungâ€"in, as the producer called (Continued from page 3) maleâ€"chauvinist magistrate), tried to console him by saying, "Hey, look it happens to all of us at one time." This little bit of heaven is situated in the heart of Muskoka overlooking sparkling clear waters where the call of the loon is heard through morning mists, tall trees reach heavenward, and the smile of Mother Nature is everywhere. It is two minutes to the nearest golf course with a number of others nearby, in VX es ‘the hub of small towns and villages (Bala being the closest) for excellent shoppmg, churches, theatre, hospitals, restaurants and antique shops. There is boating, swimming, fishing, good walking, shuffleboard and games room. Since 1977 â€" SHOWROOMS IN LONDON, STONEY CREEK, BRANTFORD, GUELPH, CAMBRIDGE, KITCHENER, HAMIL TON, BURLINGTON, OAKVILLE The corporation is asking a sharé investment of Fortyâ€"thousand dollars. This is expected to increase in value substantially in the next year as upgrading of the property continues. The shares can be resold at any time in the future. This offer is looking for six special people or couples whose attitude toward _ * life would add joy to our Muskoka paradise. T TO REGISTER: your attendance at our information meeting, please phone 336â€" 3849. P.S. For the man who likes to putter around his home, there would always be a job jar!!! This offering would have great appeal to a man or woman on their own or retired couples who winter south and who would enjoy maintenanceâ€"free living with good companionship. A corporation is forming which will provide a small cottage community for six persons or couples. Ownership in the corporation would guarantee the exclusive use of a small waterfront cottage with kitchen, bath, two bedrooms, principal room and deck, for the period May to November annually. Additionally, it would include full use of the 3â€"1/2 acre property with its swimming pool, beautiful lounge with fireplace, white sand beach, boat docking facility and guest accommodation. him a couple of weeks later and offered him the part. It was a big break. Last year Lea became "a reguâ€" lar‘" on the show in the role of Maloney, a definite ‘bad apple‘. He said, he finds villainous roles challenging and fun and parâ€" ticularly satisfying. To bring a truly evil character to life with a cherubic face such as his own is an accomplishment. (Like when he played the rapist in the play "Extremities.") Maloney, on the other hand, is far from "evil incarnate", though he has a very nasty edge. Lea said he was quite prepared 410 SPEERSROAD, OAKVILLE, 338â€"2603 Mondayâ€"Wednesday 10â€"5:30 Thursday 10â€"6 Fri. 10â€"9 Saturday 10â€"5 to take Maloney even deeper into the dark side if the show‘s writers felt they needed to create more tension, more conflict. (Not that Leon being disbarred, Alana losâ€" ing the baby, and Olivia‘s movie company flirting with financial disaster wasn‘t tense). Still, there are clearly limits to the evil teleâ€" vision viewers will tolerate and enjoy. So Maloney treads a fine line. Lea said he felt pretty lucky to be succeeding in his craft in this country. He knocked on the woodâ€" en bench and grinned. Sure, he said, he wouldn‘t mind being rich, but to get rich you have to go Stateâ€"side and really he wouldn‘t want to raise his twin daughters in LA or New York. There are plenty of artistic challenges in Canada, he asserted, and he was confident he could make a good living here. One of his goals is to have his own small production company (maybe down in the Islands someâ€" where, he joked). Which isn‘t to say he wouldn‘t love to work with some of the topâ€"flight American actors like say, Bobby DeNiro, and directors like Martin Scorcese. Lea was outspoken in his praise of Canadian actors generally of which there are many excellent ones. Canadians have built fine repuâ€" tations worldâ€"wide for their skill, creativity, and work ethic, the Oakville man said. And then, of course, there are the Brits. Lea would covet (we think), an opporâ€" tunity to work with the Royal Shakespearian troupe. He also thinks Emma Thompson is some wonderful. "She‘s not a good actor," he said. "She‘s a great actor. She puts her husband (Kenneth Branaugh) to shame." The poor guy was turning blue and shivering visibly. Reluctantly, I picked up my stupid tape recorder and suggested we call it a day.
