At teen hops in Oshawa and Toronto, they have played "rhythm and blues" and usually "dress for the occasion." Asked if their long hair is ever a booking hindrance or school problem, they said: "If we can't wear long hair, we just comb it up." --Oshawa Times Photo Movie-Makers Casa Lomas Locale TORONTO (CP) -- The thing about Toronto's Casa Loma is that it looks like the Hollywood idea of a castle, with its mas- sive turrets and large wood- panelled rooms. And with Hollywood's em- phasis these days on shooting films on location, it's only nat- ural that the castle should be the setting for scenes in two films. Casa Loma became a Bavar- ian castle for Roses in Decem- ber, a movie nearing completion after three years' work. And in February, Boris Karloff will use its lavish background for Graveside Story, a horror film NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS - : Group At Thornton Par * Thornton Park is a com- "Mounity centre, the first one in ithe area. The locality of the group has changed over the years. In 1913 the community group built a hall with the date en- scribed on the cornerstone. It was later used as a non- © denominational Sunday School. This continued as an active and thriving centre until 1952 when we were annexed into the city. Through the Dept. of Agricul- ture, we were made a Com- munity Centre. With the grant money, the old Union School No. 5 was reno- vated into our present hall. According to the information, we could find, Union School No. was built as a_ parochial school, probably in the 1850's. It was taken into the township area of East Whitby in 1870 as a public school. Now if you think we are laying claim to the oldest building in the ciyt, you're right. The group has had a succes- sion of presidents since then. The present one is Ron Mc- Eachren, a hard-working and able man. Under this gentle- man's guiding hand, we are making progress in a_ badly needed repairing of our hal). This community should be proud of the heritage of the community group and our aged building. We, the executive, would like very much to create interest in Thornton Park,. not only as a good Centennial Pro- ope 4 Has Colorful Background ject but as the hub of activity in this community. We have a very small group working, but we are dedicated to the preser- vation of our park. We hope that the fond me- mories of past enjoyment of hundreds of families in this area will turn them back to our Centre and give the much needed support it once had. PHONE LISTED The writer of this article un- fortunately cannot . remember the activities of the past, but I have it on good authority that long before the desks left Union School No. 5, laughter, fun and merriment rang throughout the building. Such things as excellent plays, euchre parties, box socials, hayrides, sleigh rides, square dances, strawberry socials and you name it, were enjoyed by young and old alike. We would like to add that most of the young families in this community came from par- ents and grandparents who worked hard for this very Centre we have to today. Can you, with a clear conscience, do less than they? Wouldn't you like to be known by your grandchildren as one of the pillars behind the preservation of Thornton Park in Centennial year? Come on out and join the bunch. We'll be glad to see you. Every Monday night at eight o'clock till further notice.

The two movies represent one side of the considerable film activity going on in Canada-- settings in this country being used by foreign film-makers. Another example is The Trap, a British movie made in Canada about a French - Canadian trapper that was released late in 1966 The other side of the picture is an array of films being pro- duced by Canadians, often on a shoe-string budget. And the re- cent announcement of a §$10,- 000,000 federal subsidy fund for making movies should stimulate the Canadian film industry even more. MAYOR ACTS FOR FREE David Secter, who made his first film for $31.88 and went on to direct Winter Kept Us Warm, has completed shooting of The Offering, a love story about a Canadian man and a touring dancer from Communist China. For this Secter raised $55,000 and persuaded the mayor of Toronto and other local celeb- rities to appear in the movie for nothing. Secter's success with Winter Kept Us Warm, made while he was still a university student, has been followed by increased activity on college campuses. McMaster University in Hamil- ton has started a series of ex- perimental short color movies for showing by movie clubs. One of Secter's assistants of a couple of years ago now is making his own film. Tom Ew- ing figures to spend $8,000 mak- ing Picaro, a 50-minute idyll, with student actors. Tom Kneebone and Pat Gal- loway, Toronto cabaret perform- ers, have appeared in a shoe- string film which won an award at the San Francisco film festi- val, and Julius Kohanyi is shoot- ing Bittersweet, described as a "slim-budget child fantasy." The biggest production so far announced is A Great -Big Thing, being made by Eric Till, a former CBC director, on a budget of nearly $1,000,000. It will be completed in New York and London. : By ROD CURRIE Canadian Press Staff Writer And Sleep Until Noon, a first novel by Canadian Gene Lees, is based on the thesis that the world, having pretty well got rid of its kings, seeks new objects of glorification in movie and television stars and popular singers. One of these is Jack Royal, a nice kid of 17 who, sud- denly alone after the acci- dental death of his parents, quits his piano lessons and heads for the big city. His rise to success, first as jazz pianist, then successively Singer, composer and finally motion picture actor, takes the reader on a wild and won; derful tour from low jazz joints to high finance in the music world. And Sleep Until Noon, (Tri- dent Press) is a profile of a charming youth who learns about playing jazz piano and Playing around with admiring women but whose overriding addiction is a drive to succeed. He does, and if Jack's head is«not exactly turned by all the accompanying adulation, it certainly is twisted a bit. In his struggle to stay on top he has plausible difficulty with self-knowledge. He becomes cynical, con- temptuous of his fans, and generally pretty unpleasant until he meets a cool blonde Swedish journalist in Stock- holm who gives him pause for thought. Throughout, the account of his travels from Chicago to New York, Paris and London is heavily larded with mari- tal and romantic detours. The characters, if not always pro- found, are always vivid and interesting, their conversation crisp, their antics uncouth. Although Lees displays an expertise in discussing music as an art and as a business, and is at home with his band of singers, swingers and sin- ners, it is not an "in'" book only for those working in, or addicted to, the world of popular music. ¢ But certainly it is in the Jazz World Comes Alive In New Book. By Canadian sequences concerning music, and particularly the record business, that Lees is at his best--as well he might be. A native of Hamilton, he was a reporter with the Hamil- ton Spectator, Toronto Tele- gram and Montreal Star until 1958 when he joined the Louis- ville Times as classical music critic and drama editor. He was outspoken and con- troversial music critic of Hi- Fi Stereo Review for four years, until he took time off for jis own writing of lyrics, short stories and this novel. Recently he was named head of the popular music depart- ment of Hi Fidelity Magazine. In 1962, Lees accepted an invitation to manage a tour by a jazz sextet sponsored by the United States state depart- ment's cultural exchange pro- gram and during the 23- country tour he lectured and conducted seminars on Amer- ican music. Now a resident of New York, he spends part of each year in Canada and Paris. [Lyceum Club!
