A young songwriter, musician Michael is well on his way to success as a songwriter of repute. The original tape-recording that was sent to New York bag dl last February, was made by the popular local group, The Chancellors, the vocal was done by the Chancellor's lead singer, Gordon Donnelly. When Michael. followed the tape to New York late last March, he says he was overwhelmed by the favorable reaction of the company executives. Music Publishing Holdings are keeping the tape until a suitable backing group and art- ist can be found for the record- ings. The company executives highly praised the young song- writer's composition and are confident that when cut the rec- ord will be a hit. Such artists as Peter, Paul and Mary and Bob Dylan are under contract to Music Pub- lishings Holdings, New York. Before being sent to New York, the tape had several pre- release playings to see the re- sponse of the public. John Donabie of CKLB played the tape often on his nightly show. HIT SEEN "T think that the production sounded very professional and if promoted correctly, and re- corded by a big name group, it could well be a hit," he said. The tape was also a great TAPE-RECORDING ACCLAIMED COMPOSER MICHAEL CLANCY -.. Young City Songwriter HAS PROMISING FUTURE Songwriter, 24, Signs Contract hit after having been played at the Green Door Coffee House Discotheque on King Street West. "T like the song itself and the arrangement by the Chancel- lors. If it was handled properly I think that it would sell. It has a lot of "punch," said Deanna Buldyke, the owner of the dis- cotheque. Michael started as a profes- sional musician in 1958, play- ing with many of the Toronto district pop bands. He plays the piano, guitar and the drums. In 1965 Michael gave up his musician's career to devote all his spare time to songwriting. Currently he is planning to form a pop group that will tour the hotel and night club cir- cuits of the province, promoting his own material. By DAVE PIKE NEW YORK (CP) -- "'Good evening, ladies and gentlemen --welcome to La Mama ETC, experimental theatre club... dedicated to the playwright, all aspects of the theatre." With this ritualistic incanta- tion, La Mama herself--Ellen Stewart -- introduces playgo- ers to the most artistically provocative and rewarding theatre in New York. La Mama is located Off- Off-Broadway where experi- mental theatre flourishes in lofts and store «fronts, in church halls and basements. Off-Off . Broadway is the frontier - land home of Cafe Cine, the papa of New York's coffee - house theatres, and Judson Poets Theatre, whose swinging efforts are guided by two ministers at Judson Me- morial Church. It is the home of the Open Theatre, a workshop - labora- tory headed by Joseph Chai- kan, a former member of the celebrated Living Theatre company now touring Europe, and of the Broad and Puppets Theatre, whose members, moving exponents of mime and mask, are familiar signts on anti-Vietnam war picket lines. 'We are not beatnik thea- tre. We are serious, Our play- wrights are greatly concerned with the lack of communica- tion today. They are direct- ing what they are doing at the sub - conscious level be- cause communication is no longer possible at the con- scious level." BREACH BARRIERS The new playwrights, actors and directors, as well as crit- ies, are more interested in total involvement in what amounts to applied psychol- ogy, in group therapy, than in analysis, in one-way stimu- lation. They want to shock and caress an audience, to create an environment in which mutual commitment can eliminate defined barriers between actor and audience. "We want to have an im- mediate kind of existential presence in the theatre... by shocking the sensibilities,"' says Chaikan. Miss Stewart founded La Mama in 1962 in a basement with a stage no larger than a bed "'to show the works of new playwrights at no cost to them." She has presented more than 250 plays since then de- spite financial crises, bureau- cratic interference and prob- lems wifh such groups as Ac- tors' Equity. La Mama -- as is the case with most Off-Off-Broadway theatres -- can't pay anyone involved in its productions. To meet the rent and mount pro- Miss Stewart de- mondson the second. \ 4 ductions, pends on her earnings as a dress designer and the $1 token "dues" La Mama club members pay prior to each performance. Actors' Equity recently de- creed that no actor could work at La Mama -- and, there- fore, any other Off - Off- Broadway theatre -- unless paid union scale. Miss Stew- art appeared finally beaten. She announced she would close La Mama. But the union relented, rec- ognizing the importance--the necessity -- of La Mama's contribution to the theatre, and Miss Stewart decided to continue producing at her Sec- ond Avenue loft. COME TO RESCUE A fire department inspector called on La Mama last No- vember and declared that ev- ery electrical outlet in the place was faulty. Thirty play- wrights each wrote a three- minute sketch. The 90 - min- ute program ran a week and paid the $782 bill for elec- trical renovations. Since its inception, La Mama has sent touring com- panies as far afield as Paris Open Theatre Flourishes With Chaikan At The Helm and Bogota, Colombia, Cop- enhagen and Zagreb, Yugo- slavia. Jean - Claude van Itallie, whose America Hurrah tril- ogy recently opened O ff- Broadway to critical raves, is one of many young play- wrights establishing reputa- tions who acknowledges a deep debt to Miss Stewart. She presented his first works at La Mama. Six plays from La Mama had a short run on Broadway last year. Megan Terry's Viet Rock, first seen at La Mama, was selected as a featured play by the new Yale drama de- partment. Miss Stewart herself is a recipient of an Obie, the Off- Broadway drama award. Known as Mama to her ac- tors in the early days--which explains how the theatre got its name --WMiss Stewart is fiercely protective about her playwrights. She is a lithe, chic woman who is, but doesn't look like, a grandmother. She also is, as one article describ her, Mother Courage to the theatre. By DONALD PHILLIPSON A book that ts a splendid present for Canada's 100th birthday is Painting in Can- ada University of Toronto Press). Its nearly 400 plates and J. Russell Harper's ju- dicious text put before the reader a national art history 4 country would be ashamed of. The book spans 300 years from the arrival of Hughes Pommier, the first known Ca- nadian painter, at Quebec in 1664, to such modern artists as Harold Town. There are a bibliography and brief bio- gtaphies of 350 Canadian painters. Publication was subsidized by the Canada Council and the printing, including the color plates, was done in Can- ada. Big, glossy art books such as this used to be printed only in Switzerland and The Netherlands, but. this volume is in no way inferior. - Insofar as it has a message, it is that Canadian painting now is fully matured and can hold up its head in the tough- est international competition. There may be no Turners or Van Goghs or Picassos in Ca- nadian history, but there has always been a_ hard-working corps of "ordinary" artists, the backbone of any national tradition. Canada's ryt had special Painting In Canada Rare, Treasured Book limitations of race; not only were Canadians, and therefore Canadian artists, few in num- ber, but the English and French traditions were com- pletely separate and no new ideas flowed from each to the other within Canada. Except for two chapters dealing with the 1930s and to- day, every chapter of Har- per's book is all-French or all- English. Even the develop- ment into abstract ' painting took place completely differ- ently in English and French Canada. The great nationalistic breakthrough in English-Ca- nadian painting was the Group of Seven's work, of course. This shos clearly anwd, for the first time comprehensively, how the painters took an English tradi- tion --landscape painting-- and applied it to the unique Canadian landscape. From here, Canadian painting de- veloped into abstraction along its own lines, through Lawren et and J, W. G.

But that is where you find Julius Kohanyi, wearing a me- ichanic's smock covered with grit and grime. He is half hid- den behind the hood of an old but immaculate sports car.

Most important among them Were the colossal golden cat Miranda and her equally colossal silver-gray daughter Punka. In the begin- ning the cats had enjoyed the love and care of a_ senator's family, but they were not to be found when the family escaped from the burning city after it had been sacked by the Gauls. When the smoke and flames subsided, Miranda and Punka made their way through the devastated city to the ruin- ed Colosseum, collecting motherless kittens as they jour- neyed. The author's rare abil- ity to recognize details most appealing to children and weave them through her story- telling has never been more evident. Suspense and humor are here in abundance to de- light grown-ups as well as the by! the devoted Bernard and two} ferent ages will . probably chuckle over different things. The child who knows Miranda and Punka will have a link with ancient and modern Rome more enduring than later acquaintance made _ through history books. Kathleen Librarian, Library.
