| JO'S JOURNAL BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times "Ali the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players ." This week's entertainment has in- cluded just about everything: a spectacle of majestic for- mality, an extravaganza of Canadian folklore, a theatrical drama and a farce of fisticuffs. Let's take a look. The visit of the Shahanshah of Iran and his Empress Farah Pahlavi to Toronto was a state occasion that will remain a "once in a lifetime' event for many. Over one thousand guests were invited to a banquet in the Canadian Room of the Royal York Hotel, among them the Mayor of Oshawa. Lyman Gifford and Mrs. Gifford, Mr. A. V.- Walker MLA 4nd Mrs. Walker, Mr. and Mrs, Walter Best- wick, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Yanch and Mr, and Mrs. J. A. Vivash. It was a glittering occasion. The candle-lit head table was massed with red, white and blue carnations and the guests of honor were regal and gracious. The Shah, tall and slightly greying, wore the blue sash of honor, two emblazoned medallions and full decorations (miniature medals) on a gold cord from lapel to shoulder. The Empress was a fairy-tale, eastern queen in a flowing gown on simple lines of Maybud yellow, pure silk, delicately beaded. Over this, as she left, she wore a full- length, lustrous silk coat in subtle green with an off- shoulder effect. She is considerably younger than the Shah and her flawless, olive complexion is illuminated by her big, dark eyes. Her shining, black hair, parted in the centre, swept over the tops of her ears and was piled high on her head. Against this she wore a breath-taking dia- mond and emerald tiara with pendant diamond ear-rings. She wore no necklace, but precious stones flashed on -her fingers and her yellow silk clutch purse sparkled and glinted. Candlelight And Wine The menu had an Ontario flavor which was well- considered. Canadian wines, presumably from Niagara, were served throughout. Sherry wih the shrimp cocktail and consomme; Vin Rosee with the filet mignon Rossini accompanied by new, buttered potatoes, tiny carrots, green beans and asparagus. Champagne came with the straw- berries Romanoff, followed by coffee and petit fours It was a strictly white tie affair but as usual the ladies supplied the color. Mrs, Earl Rowe, wife of the lieutenant- governor was elegant-in a gown completely beaded in pink and blue. and Mrs. Matthew Dymond wore chiffon in blended shades of pink.. Mrs. Lyman Gifford was in sophisticated black with a beaded black lace top and Mrs A. V. Walker wore mint green crepe with touches of handpainting in white, outlined with black. and green beads. Mrs. Walter Bestwick chose pink brocade; Mrs. J. A. Yanch, light blue crepe with a gold metallic thread in an off-shoulder design and Mrs. Vivash, a combination of black and black and white meeting beneath a black velvet sash. Mrs. Bestwick, 'president of the Oshawa Soroptimist Club was in Montreal Jast weekend for a conference and stayed at the Windsor Hotel where the Shah and the Empress and their retinue of 12 occupied 30 rooms on the first floor, Security guards were everywhere, she said, and all the guests were checked at the entrances and watched at the elevators. The approach to the hotel was crowded with people at all times and it took ten or fifteen minutes to elbow one's way through Maybe the people in Montreal have more time to stand and stare than they have in Toronto. I haven't heard that the Royal York was stormed and a mere handful awaited the arrival of the royal pair at the International Airport. Out Of The Shadows - Fireflies The next item of note was the presentation in the O'Keefe Centre by Les Feux Follets, Canada's National Dance Ensemble, in a program of dances, songs and music based on Canadian folklore from coast to coast This troupe made up of youthful performers from many different backgrounds traces Canada's folk culture in ten episodes, depicting in gorgeous costumes 'Pacific Coast Indian rituals, a Plains Indian betrothal, and a Yukon pan-handler and Gold Rush days. Eastern Canada is re- flected in sea songs, Scottish and Gaelic dances and Eskimo walrus hunt and a gigue and broom dance of the shores of the St. Lawrence. The lighting effects were imaginative and ingenious; the hot, red sky of the middle west, the chilly blue of the Eskimo sequence and the phosphorescent salmon leaping up a flowing blue chiffon river, of this remarkable Michel Cartier 12 vears to capture the Cana- dian Mosaic. After performing at Charlottetown last fall. in the Command Performance, a delighted Prince Philip asked Cartier and his troupe to represent Canada at this year's Commonwealth Arts Festival. I hope Prince's suggestion reality Les Feux Follets (The Fireflies) offer something creatively Canadian. 'The Play's the Thing...'

The director, Richard Howard, assisted by Barbara McMullen, met the challenge adroitly and the acting was excellent. It wouldn't surprise me if The Theatre Upstairs brings back the rent-money. I must interject a about Hart House Theatre. I wish the Board of ndics would attend a performance in a body and suffer the annoyance of the creaking seats and the crypt-like atmosphere line The farce on our entertainment bill of fare took place in Lewiston, Maine.
