That‘s how Denny Calvart and Al Vickress sum up their reaâ€" sons for being in the entertainâ€" ment business. These two Engâ€" lishmen, known as the ‘Tune Smiths‘, are presently appearing in the Sportsman‘s Inn of the Constellation Hote® on Dixon Road. Although both men were born and raised in England, where they each played in many pubs, they met here in Toronto. While they were both working in the Engineering Department of Orâ€" enda Engines in Malton, they discovered their mutual desire to become professional enterâ€" tainers. Denny gathered up his drums and Al sat at the piano and they began to work out a touâ€" tine. After a few months they went to the Billy O‘Connor Agâ€" ency where Doug Rogers, an agâ€" ent, saw that the duo had potenâ€" tlal. Mr. Rogers called the Skyâ€" line Hotel in Montreal and after the manager listened to them over the phone, he hired them.

However, Mr. Vickâ€" ress added, "the average Canâ€" adian feels very restricted â€" â€" it takes a long time to get him to sing. The Americans and the British are very good that way: they seem more able to ‘let their hair down‘ and have a good time." Al Vickress comes by his musical ability honestly.

The Pearly Kings conduct singâ€"along affairs at the Skyline Hotel. "People like to singâ€"along and participate, not just sit and listen," remarked Denny Calyâ€" The Tune Smiths find that suburbanites are more friendly than downtown audiences. Feelâ€" ing that everyone in the room is their personal friend, they mingle with the audience during their breaks, to discuss music, business and anything else that happens to come up. During their conversations, they have found that many people would like to have song sheets. Howâ€" ever, Al and Denny must tell them that the Liquor Control Board will allow people to sing, but will not allow them to have song sheets. Al says, "people want to know why." A Scout Leader and also a director of the Malton. Recreatâ€" ion Association, Al finds that his spare time is very limited. At present, he is involved with the problems of obtaining a complete recreation centre for the Malton area. The Tune Smiths have been so busy that they had to turn down an offer to appear on the television program, ‘On the Scene‘, with Al Boliska. Perâ€" haps they will be able to do a show within the near future. Let‘s hope so. ART The Franklin Carmichael Aft Group will begin summer landâ€" scape painting classes June 15.
