Jane Wyman-Lew Ayres starrer, "Johnny Belinda," is actor Stephen McNally, who used to play football for Fordham university. CAN YOU GUESS? Can you name this celebrated Cinemalander: In "The Paradine Case" you saw him toting a bull fiddle through a railroad station. In "Rebecta" he leaned against a phone booth while he impatiently waited for George Sanders to com- plete a call. In "Shadow of Doubt" he held 13 spades in a bridge game on a train. He was born in London, and his first am- which, Libby's Tomato Juice Van Camp's Fancy Quality Aylmer Tomato Catsup Pure Canadian bition was to sell more chickens that his father, who was a poul- terer? (Hint; He's really a di- rector.) THE IRONY OF IT The only person hurt when Jane Wyman shot-gunned Stephen Mc- '| Nally, the villain in Warner Bros.' fortheoming drama, "Johnny Bel- inda,' was Miss Wyman! She suffered s bruises when the kick of the weapon knocked her flat. McNally, who, after being "mortally wounded," had to tum- ble down a long flight of stairs, wasn't even scratched. DIRECTOR SETS NEW HIGH A new high in directorial ec- centricity has been set by Vin- cent Sherman. - First scene for his current mys- tery-melodrama, "Somewhere in the City," was localed in a hospi- tal ward. He directed it in his usual sensitive manner, except that he had a stethoscope hanging around his neck, and was attired, complete to shoes, in physician's whites! Later on, same day, he donned a gaudy swim suit to meg a bath- ing pool sequence, and the som- bre garb of an undertaker for scenes in a funeral parlor! When asked what it was all about, he said, "Oh . . . just an experiment in moods." EWES CAUSE BLUES Casting officials are facing a problem which, because of the in- scrutable and immutable laws of nature, may never be solved. In the currently filming adven- ture epic, "Montana" starring Errol Flynn, Alexis Smith is supposed to do a tender little scene with a new-born nuzzlin' lamb. "Can't get one right now," said the men who specialize in getting animals and things for picture; "Sheep just don't have lambs this time of year." "But we've just got to have one," exclaimed Ray Enright, di- rector of the epic.

"When I work in pictures from now on," he said, "Tll com- mute from my ranch at Camar- illo. My wife (Frances Dee) and have become genuine farm folk. For us the big town has no allure."

Mayor Bilimer Gives Radio Talk On Town (Continued from Page 7) National Exhibition, I feel all visitors will agree with me that Oakville's own exhibition was as fine as cin be seen anywhere. The exhibition was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, who are most active in community af- fairs. Just a word about out mer- chants. They are a most progres- sive group, and have done much to make Oakville a place in which residents like to do their shop- ping. Our shopping district is growing every week with tional stores opening and old- established stores expanding. I feel that we owe a great debt to our merchants, for they have had to adjust themselves very rapidly. to the increase in population. It addi- | growth a pleasant one, and if they, at times find trouble in keeping up with demand it is only mom- entary. In closing IT should like to stress that in the Oakville of today there remains much of the charm and loveliness of those former days when it was starting on its great future. I feel confident that we shall maintain our position as the largest town in Halton county _and I predict that Oakville, situated as it is, will enjoy con- tinued prosperity and popularity.

They played a very exacting program, equally Verdi, ism about instrumentation and arrangements, but I do know what I like to hear and what I do not like to hear. Very little music was written specially for bands, the result was that apart from the marches, most of the other music had to be arranged from the original compositions. That is gradually being changed. Bd win Franko Goldman says that he has been trying for 30 years to get composers to write music for bands and that he is having some success. There are certain fundamentals which apply to band, choir or orchestra. Chief of these fundamentals and the only one we will take up here is 'Thursday, Sept. 23, 1945 A lot more could be said abe interpretation, but space is Jin. ed.

Sometime wg) have another session of hands, attention given to the y experience in choir work is that an organization does 100 per cent better work when it is con- ducted. To my mind, the greatest asset of any conductor is his interpre tive power. I say power pur- posely, rather than interpretive knowledge. It is a power, not a knowledge. It is something in- tangible and it changes immedi- ately with the moods, environ- ment and conditions prevailing at the time one is aked to interpret. A conductor suffering from indi- gestion or a toothache will give a vastly different interpretation to a number than one who is in love with the world, no aches, pains or unkind thoughts. Sounds: silly, perhaps, but it is one of those little things which make a difference. Most differences in - | the world are mall be they pol- s | itical, © rier and other top bers.
