Their ad- vertising as you will notice, is not appearing in our newspaper this week. If you have been one of our readers who have been patronizing either of these theatres and would like to see their adver- tising back on this page, just let us know about it, and we will pass it along to the manager. In case you are not aware of it, the Hyland is currently playing the Moutain Family Robinson and the Odeon is showing The Scanners. Moutain Family Robinson is playing this week at Cinema Whitby, and it played to full houses all weeken. This is a family- type picture that is very en- joyable, and a refreshing change from the usual mess of gore, sex and foul language. The family has built a home in the moun- tains and are very happy with their lot, which means trying to grow a garden, being swept out by a flash flood, and haivng a small boy who has a natural habit of getting into, and climbing to places where he should not be. The Robinson family which consists of father, mother, teenage daughter and young son, has a visit from a forest ranger one day who drops in with his 'chop- per' and informs them that unless they file a mining claim within so many days they will be evicted from the property by the government, and the home they have struggled so hard to build will be levelled. While this worry hovers over the, the mother decides that life in the wilderness is mroe than she can handle, and decides to return to Los Angeles and visit her mother. Dad and the kids carry on, hoping she will come back, which she does, having decided she loves them all very much and missed them very much, plus the fact her mother told her to get back where she belongs. The family has a friend in an old prospector called Boomer. He sets out and discovers the mine once worked by their late uncle Jake. The day the forestry man arrives to hand them their eviction notice, his plane crashed right after take-off, and the family gets out and rescues him. Boomer turns up with some quartz from the old aban- doned mine and everything is set right. Filmed in mountain coun- try, the scenery is colourful and picturesque. Added to the cast is a long list of animals and birds, all of which add to the excitement, what with the family dog fighting off a bobcat who is intent on bringing down a small fawn, a bear that tackles a mountain lion that is after old Boomer's mule, and the dog who scares off a grizzly that is out to get the father of the Robinson tribe. All in all, it is good enter- tainment and reminds one very much of the kind of movie that has kept the Disney studios in business for so many years. The Scanners currently playing at the Odeon in Oshawa is a movie that is making a mint of money, but is loaded with gore and sh- ock. If that is your thing, it will be a movie you will en- joy. Reports have it that people -are walking out of it all over the country, most of them feeling a little sick to the stomack. The writer- director of this epic is a young man named David Cronenberg who has already churned out a few other dilly horros pics. He admitted in an interview just last week that he has a thing about death - a lot of people do not choose this subject as something to be classified under entertainment. Whitby Lioness Club seeking members By Eleanor Stevenson Whitby Lioness The Whitby Lioness Club is a new service club in the Town of Whitby which was chartered in March, 1980. the club is small, but has been very active in its first year of operation. Rather than jumping into projects without sufficient background knowledge, the club has made a careful search of how it can best provide service to our com- munity. In December, 1980 Pam Wilson, of Sunnycrest Nur- sing Home Administration, invited the Lioness club to focus on this small nursing home which often doesn't receive as much attention from community groups as does the larger, regional, Fairview Lodge. The Lioness Club purchased Christmas Cake for patients and visited the Nursing Home early in January. A Music Night is planried for March 17 -- to make St. Patrick's Day a memorable event for the residents at Sunnycrest Nursing Home. The Whitby Lioness Club is also looking forward to its first birthday party to be held on March 7, 1981. The club's "birth pains" have receded and we are now suf- fering from "growing pains" -- we need to increase our membership in order to fulfill our goals and commit- tments. The Whitby Lioness Club pet slogan is, "You don't have to have a Lion in your house to be a Lioness". The club offers warm com- panionship, good fellowship and an opportunity for women to serve their com- munity in a variety of ways. If you are new to Whitby, it will offer you an opportunity to meet a lively variety of citizens and will help in- crease your awareness of both the needs of our com- munity and the work that is being done by all service clubs. The Whitby Lioness Club meets on the second Wed- nesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at the Board Room, Whitby Centennial Building, Centre St. South, Whitby. If you would like more in- formation about the Whitby Lioness Club, please telephone Lioness Kay Pollock at 725-8418 or Lioness Eleanor Stevenson at 668-5231 (bus.) or 668-8253 (home).
