entertainmet Editor Stephen Gauer7266537 Standing ovation given to Ustinovs STRATFORD Ont CP Peter Ustinov and the Stratford Festival shared rousing stand ing ovation Friday night for their performance of Shake speares King Lear with the wunderkind of theatrics playing vain but distracted and querulous old man Ustinov whose goal is to play Lear on Broadway shared the honors with the company under the direction of Robin Phillips and it was as much their well practised ensemble playing as the stars tour de force that makes the play come alive with new depth of meaning This production is clearly not just the main story of 80year old King Lear dividing his king dom among his daughters and then finding two of them Gone ril and Regan turn against him but emphasis is given to the second story line the plot ting of the evil bastard son of the Earl of Gloucester against his father and his legitimate halfbrother Edgar Ustinov obviously revelled in the part of the old king making PETER LSTINOV tour de force his first entrance smoking huge cigar and carrying glass of brandy character of faded majesty who tends to forget the names of his sonsinlaw suffering slight

interpreted with dignity and pathos by Douglas Rain this years lead ing actor in the two parts of Shakespeares Henry IV While Ustinov would like to play Lear on Broadway festival officials say this production has not been mounted as one which would go to New York complete in its present form Some of the leading actors of the company already have other com mitments for the winter and spring But the prestige attached to the Ustinov name carries such power that it is assumed that whatever features of this pro duction he wants on Broadway he will be able to command The production is scheduled for only 18 more performances before the festival season closes Nov and they are virtually sold out Composition No lithograph by Margaret Arthur Examiner Photo Sculptures are strong point in show by Margaret Arthur By STEPIIEN GALER Of The Examiner Margaret Arthurs current show at the Barrie Public Library is sophisticated salute to contemporary styles in printmaking and sculpture The Barrie artist recent graduate of the fine arts pro gam at York University uses sculpture to isolate everyday objects and place them in set tings that suggest an ironic view of institutions and tradi tions Her prints explore pat terns of shading and color in way that bring strength to an abstractract style Composition No and Com position No are lithographs that illustrate Mrs Arthurs ag gressive abstraction Using on ly black white and grey tones she creates images that surge with energy like primoridal forces about to take Shape before your eyes Black lines and curves sweep across the plane of the print No distinct shapes emerge and no recognizable images are created but the sheer force of the black tones creates kind of subconscious cartoon or caricature DIFFERENT Red Yellow and Blue is something completely different print composed with classical simplicity The color bars and boxes are arranged with geometrical precision against white background The result is clean and simple almost decorative and shows how tightly controlled and rigorous Mrs Arthurs ap proach to artistic design can be She can also be whimsical and humorous One print titled Looking at the World Through RoseColored Glasses is an abstracted view of common cliche Against color field of red celllike shapes float like microscopic organisms as though the viewer is looking through the lens of microscope Mrs Arthurs ironic perspec tive comes through clearest in Bain embarks on new career HALIFAX CP After writ ing roughly 6000 daily columns and other dispatches over 25 years for two Toronto news papers George Bain is embar king on new career as uni versity teacher this fall There is no reason to doubt that the urbane political ob server connoisseur of good wines and occasional author of witty light verse can make an easy transition to the groves of academe But the culture shock will be severe for Clem Watkins Jr Johnny Silk Scarf McGeer Harry Lem and the other residents of Lilac Sask who have entertained readers of Bains columns for years Bain plans to take time out from his duties as director of the University of Kings College school of journalism to write weekly column for the Toronto Star But whether Watkins will continue to supply him with news items from the mythical Prairie community of Lilacis likely to be subject of delicate negotiations Bain answered with be mused halfgrin
