This one'hour, two charac- ter play was directed by Bert Heaver of Whitby, who also plays a small walk on at the end of the performance. "The view from the 64th Floor", is a mixture of comedy and pathos with a touch of philosophy for those who crave success. Tuesday June 27 will see the airing of the Dundas Little -Theatre production of "A lIistory of Near Fatal Crashes". This zany comedy about two zany- comedy writers is by William Edith Jr. and, Andrew Nicholîs. Both these characters write for Channel 1's comedy show "We're Only Joking"I which did well in the ratings last year for a new Canadian, series and thé program is in production at present for yet another season.

This story of a French-type detective, who make Clouseau look like^ a suave intelectual, is funny, differ- ent and offers a brilliant performance by David Peach as the master crime fighter - Strudels De Pum. Ian Noble plays the milkman Joyce Armstrong Inspector Ridge, Kim Maxwell.Police- ornan Jenkins and Walter Korte plays both the Devil d Slagheap Magillicutty. It ries producer Vic Vickers of Whitby is also producer of the community variety series "New Faces" ,.,tj'now runs 52 weeks a r' ,:Channel 11.' >Ž,t broadcasters are reluctant to . present- amateurs in any decent timhesiot" says Mr. Vickers. But, I remember five years ago when the late Frank Penn wr ote in-the Ottawa Journal,- "It makes a nice change to watch real people once in a while instead of the glossily slick professionals of the big shows". He was speaking about New Faces, the viewers agreed with him and we're still around, I hope A cn now do the same for draina" I mlnsEvBt STRAWBERRY TEA A Strawberry Tea and Euchre wlll be held at St. Mark's United Church House, Byron and Coiborne Streets, June 24 frorn 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is $1.25,. and there will be door prizes.
