Jonathan Winters
he's a wild man

By Peter J. Boyer

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
An interview with Jonathan
Winters is an odyssey, a tour
through a strange and child-
like region peopled by the
many facets of this pot-
bellied original,

His Reds cap perched
squarely on his head, his
ample belly sparring with the
edge of the formica table in
the NBC publicity conferenct.
room, Winters does his stuff.

He was supposed to be
there to publicize his series
pilot airing on NBC Friday, a
half-hour of pure Winters
improvisation called Take
One. But the characters liv-
ing in his head interrupted
incessantly, turning the in-
terview into a performance.

You don't interview Win-
ters, you audience. Willingly.

On the soul of an improv
artist:

“You know, you get labels
in this business, a wild per-
son, ‘Jonathan Wintersyis a;

for the little boy in me to
break through to the little
boy out there, is this terrible
paranoia we're all in, My
little boy has to work 200 per
cent harder.”

BACKS UP POINT

Another character, eight-
year-old Tommy Brichton,
comes forth to demonstrate
the point.

anet over him? Was he really
in a carzy house?”

“But I enjoy my insanity,”
he says, “And I say ‘insanity’
because when people say to
me, ‘There's nothing the
matter with me,’ that’s the
person who puts the. teles-
copie sight here (he levels an
imaginary rifle out the win-
dow, aiming into the NBC
parking lot) and says, ‘Let’s
see how many we can get
before we lose light. There's
one (he pulls the trigger).’
That's the sort of person who
says there's nothing wrong.
with him.”

CHILD IS FUNNY

That kind of craziness,
senselessness, and blind
brutality of modern ‘We

that it's the child in. him
that’s funny, and it’s the child
in us that laughs. The times
are tough for all his children.

“It's harder to reach that
little boy now,” he says. “It

Man: “You're little Tommy
Brichton.”

“Yes I am.”

"tommy, how are you
doing in school?"

“Well, it's difficult to know
what's going on from one day
to the next. I watched a man
on television who said the
school situation is going to
turn around by July. But
we're going to he out of
school by July, so what does
he mean?”

“You're talking about bus-
ing.

“Yes, Tdlike toride a bus."

Sheila Brand... i stiongy to burn

By Debra Craine
LONDON (CP) — Sheila

Brand, the Canadian-born
singer and actress, is hoping
she is about to get the big
break that will make her
career.

“All the cliches come true
eventually,” she says. “You
need the breaks to get the
roles that satisfy you.”

That's why she took the
role of waitress, Doatsey
Mae in The Best Little
Whorehouse In Texas, the
successful Broadway musical
which recently opened in the
West End.

“I took the role to be
noticed — that I think Thave
been.”

The newspaper critics
certainly noticed, with her
performance being singled
out as excellent and delight-

Brand also ‘understudies
Carlin Glynn, the U.S. act-
ress who stars as the madam’
of the clean-living. whore-
house, and there is always
the possibility that the 27-
year-old soprano from New
Glasgow, N.S., could be.ask-
ed to take over the leading
role. -

HAPPENS BEFORE

Last January, Brand re-
ceived a standing ovation
when she took over for a sick
Gemma Craven in the leading
role in the hit musical,
They're Playing Our Song.

Trained primarily as an
opera singer, Brand had little
stage experience when she
was offered the position of
second understudy to Cra-
ven.

She turned it down, and

was given the chance at first
understudy instead,

Brand grew up in a musical
environment and was coach-,
ed by her mother, a music
teacher with Nova Scotia
Teachers College in Truro.

She performed in music
festivals as a child and later
graduated from Dalhousie
University where she studied

music. In 1971, she moved to .

London to take up studies at
the London Opera Centre.

She sang with the English
Opera Group, at the Edin-
burgh Festival and at the
Royal Opera House in Covent

arden.

Despite her long list of
opera credits, Brand says her
interest always was in music
theatre — modern opera and
musicals.

CLASSICS FRUSTRATING

“I think the thing that
frustrated me about the
classical field was that you

never get to use ‘up your
physical energy,” she said.
“In something like this
(Best Little Whorehouse) you
can use up a lot of energy.”
Brand seys she’s working
