The special attraction will be the gala show -- under spon- sorship of the Oshawa and Dis- trict Old Country Club -- fea- turing singers Ruby Murray and David Whitfield, two of the most popular.-singers..today..in Europe's entertainment field. They will be supported by a talented overseas cast headed by Billy Liston and Jimmy Kerr, the renowned comedy team. The appearance of Ruby Mur- ray and David Whitfield is ex- pected to attract sell-out busi- ness to the auditorium. LUCK OF IRISH It was certainly a great day for the Irish when Ruby Mur- ray was born. For although she has risen to the heights of stardom in the pop music profession, she has never forgotten the roots from which she stems. And she has done much to spread the appeal of the music which is her heri- tage. As the title of this record implies, Ruby is indeed proud of being Irish -- and well she might be. For the little bit of heaven they call Ireland is one huge treasure trove crammed with. musical gems. Ruby took the pop music world by storm in the mid- 1950s; indeed, in 1955, she achieved the remarkable dis- tinction of having five simul- taneous entries in Britain's Top Twenty -- a feat unequalled to this day by anyone other than Elvis Presley. And although the upsurge of the rock 'n' roll craze pushed ballads into the background, so far as Chart honors were concerned, her records continued to sell con- sistently -- and she remained a top-line attraction on stage, radio and television. Now_a happily married woman, Ruby __ occasionally takes time off from the hectic whirl of show business to con- centrate on being a wife and a mother. For the most part, however, she is continually oc- cupied in summer season shows and pantomime, and makes frequent guest appearances in major radio and TV presenta- tions. Appealing as she does to all age groups, Ruby Murray is undoubtedly one of Britain's top attractions of the day -- singers are coming back into their own so convincingly. FINE RECORD Less than 14 years ago David Whitfield was earning his liv- ing loading quarry stone on to lorries for the Hull Concrete and Stone Co., Ltd. Today, this 41-year-old ex-sailor has put the recording business into a flutter of excitement and has embarked on a series of public appearances destined, in view of many experts, to lead him to the top rank of British and American popular singers. Born in East Street, Alberts Terrace, Hull, David went to St. Peter's School and at the age of eight started his singing' GABLE'S WIDOW AT PREMIERE ness to please, see us. guaranteed dry- cleaning satisfac- tion, let us serve you soon!

At 17% he join- ed the navy, where he remain- ed for seven years, seeing war service as a gunner on the "Ramillies" (D-Day invasion of France), on the destroyer '"'Con- cord', the cruiser "Belfast" and the frigate. 'Black Swan". The navy gave David plenty: of opportunities to develop his singing talent and he entertain- ed his comrades at ships' con- certs all the way from Ports- mouth to Hong Kong. But in June 1950, when he was dis- charged, nobody seemed to care whether he could sing, dance or juggle. There was a job waiting for him in Hull with the concrete company and that was where David stayed for the next two years. However, on free evenings nd at weekends he went on singing at local concerts in and around Hull, and in January 1953, he took the gamble of leaving Hull to appear in a Lon- don cabaret show. A talent spotter from London Records came in one night and, im- pressed by David's fine voice and superb range, arranged a record test the next day. His first record, Marta, attracted immediate attention when it was issued in England and London hurriedly gave him an- other song to record this time the big American number, I Believe. David Whitfield's I Believe became an immediate favorite with the BBC's disc jockeys and sold as fast as the company could turn out che left, poses with Mrs. Kay Gable, widow of movie star Clark Gable, at the West Coast premiere of MGM's 70-mil- Olivia de Havilland, limeter edition of 'Gone With the Wind' Wednes- day night in Holly- wood.

His next Bridge of Sighs went almost immediately into the hit parade and he has since secured his biggest record success of all, Cara Mia. David's fame spread from the national field to the inter- national field on July 24, 1953, when, at Europe's First Inter- national Festival of Popular Song at Knokke-le-Zoute, Bel- gium, he was awarded by a jury of all European nations the Grand International Prize for being the best singer of all tival. David was born Feb. 2, 1926. He is 5' 11", blue eyed and blonde, and his favorite hobby is motor cars. Producers Face Big Problems HOLLYWOOD (AP) -- Film producers in the new movie era are facing a dilemma: Is it better to risk criticism from outraged moralists and make films that show on television? and produce movies that would lems with the vigilant network censors? One company has met the turnabout in programming. American-International soared to prosperity with cheaply make, innocuous movies that somehow appealed to the teen- age market: I was a Teen-Age Frankenstein, Beach Blanket Bingo, How to Stuff a Wild Bikini, The Raven, Etc. The head of American-Inter- national once explained that Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello never even talked about sex in the company's movies. But a couple of years ago, the A-I researchers discovered that the youngsters were bored by the antiseptic romances of Frankie and Annette. The kids wanted to be turned on. Since then, the company has come on strong with films about drag racing and motorcy- cle gangs. The product has grown more sexy and violent until A-I achieved its first condemnation from the Roman Catholic film reviewing agency. Roger Cor- man's The Trip, which depicted the LSD experiences of Peter Fonda, was assailed as porno- graphic, Unless moral standards alter radically in the next few years, The Trip will not be allowed on network television. Nearly all of the films are made on limited budgets. The economic factors are plain: The average movie can earn at least $800,000 from network runs after it has played in thea- tres. But a movie that can never play television lacks that $800,- 000 cushion and hence must be made economically. Thus all major film deals are made with an eye to the televi- sion market, and this alarms some film makers. Producer-director Robert Aldrich is planning to film The Killing of Sister George, based on the stage play that was a hit in London and so-so in New York. It concerns a pair of les- bians. "Because of the subject mat- ter, most film companies wouldn't touch it," says ed in something that obviously Aldrich. "They aren't interest- (AP Wirephoto ) could never play television.

Discussions have been held recently on the advisability of adding to our present building for the main purpose of improving our stor- age facilities. The summer sports program was not as successful as it has been in the past years due to the lack of interest of children in some age groups; also the dif- ficulty in finding adults in- terested in coaching teams.
