PAGE 8, WBJTB FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22,1989 Duo performs'Busties and Beaus' at dinner theatre BHy lorna Muler Hatherine "Kate" Guselle and Harry McKew make up the "Busties and Beaus" team * perforrming at the Magie Car Rstaurant, 145 King* St. e Oshawa. * The duo rovide Iight-hearted nos glc look a turn-of-the-century songe and ditties that were the bits of the day. Guselle's background ini music and stage is impressive. A graduate of th e Royal Conservatory of Music in vocal performance and teaching and thie Western Conservatory in piano performance, she also used herclassically-trained voice as a church soloist in Handel's f Muà [cal,' Bach's 'Magnificat' and' Brahm's ' German Requiem.'

Guselle je multi-talented and has had lead roles in stage productions, among them Deathtrap' at the Tellere Cage and locally in 'Tribute' at the Starduet Dinner Theatre. As she relaxed in ber antique decorated home in Oshawa, se mentioned that she still has "one or two commerciale" on television now. She is entbusiastic about the 'Busties and Beaus' act. I love the songe of the era," she says, "they are from the Tin Pan Alley -type of music that I find fun to perform and very open te interpretation. There is ona song, 'Oh Johnny,' that was used as a recru fitig song for the FIret World War.I t begins in a very seductive vein and then picice up and becomes a rousing propaganda song to get the boys toeanliet in the war. I t just shows how. music can be used te manipulata amotions in the listener." Guselle hopes that this endeavor will be a succees, and more dinner theatres will open in the area. "Magic Car je to be congratulated for having the courage to pen a dinner theatre here when soniany have failed," says Guselle. Guselle and McKew have performed privýately and for organizations in the area, including their own songs as well as old-standbys in their rpertoire.
