ENTERTAINMENT

Kids are
booming
business

By ROD CURRIE
TORONTO (CP) — Entertainment for kids is a booming
business in Canada, as evidenced by the big children's
festivals that have spread east from Vancouver in recent

move on to Edmonton,

After ‘the Toronto show thoy go to Winnipeg
vand now ‘Montreal is hoping to get into the act with a
festival.

SUPPLEMENTS FESTIVALS
the { fonal

Each city
with national and local shows and the combined production
cost for all the festivals is estimated to run well over. $1
million.

. ‘Typical of the Canadian content is Al Simmons who; all
got up in.clown outfit, has been working festivals for years
but thinks of himself as more than just a clown,”

“T call myself an entertainer,” he says engagingly, and it
all started back in the dark and dismal days when he worked
grubby bars,

“It seemed audiences were always into drinking and
talking and not watching and I had to devise strange ways to
get their attention — crazy hats, roaming around ‘the

years and are even from

The Toronto Harborfront leisure along Lake Ontario,
which surprised itself by attracting more than 40,000
children, parents and teachers to its premiere festival last
year, lined up 16 companies for this year’s presentation
on the Victoria Day holiday weekend.

The 1988 version, produced with the help of the
renowned Vancouver Children's Festival which started six
years ago, again offered some of the world’s best in

children’s theatre, music, mime, puppets and dance.
The idea has flourished to the point where a core of
international companies find it worthwhile to visit Canada to

perform first’ at the Vancouver festival

‘GEORGE LUCAS

and then

and bringing people up on stage.”

From that he graduated to kids — “I like kids botter
than drinkers” — and now has a weekly TV show in
Winnipeg and has been performing at the Vancouver festival
since it started.

He and Debbie Westphal of Harborfront's communi-
cations department agree there is a tremendous demand for
entertainment for children, saying neither radio, TV or the
movies provide the’ right quantity or quality.

ANTS ENTERTAINMENT

Simmons says what people really want is family enter-
tainment, things for'eyeryone from grandma to; toddlers,

and that’s: right down his alley.

Star Wars creator is
‘just an ordinary guy’

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Filmmaker George Lucas,
who gave the- world Luke
Skywalker and Darth Vader,
is just an ordinary guy.

“I'm so ordinary that a lot
of people can relate to me,
because it’s the same kind of
ordinary that they are,” he
says. “I think that gives me
an insight into the mass
audience. I know what I liked
as a kid and I still like it.”

Putting his childhood fan-

tasies on the sereen in the
Star War movies has brought
Lucas extraordinary
rewards. He ‘estimates his
personal net worth at $25
million. He and his wife,
Marcia, also own Lucasfilm,
which owns $36 million in
cash and assets. With the re-
lease of Return of the Jedi,
many more millions will pour
in.

Lucas has rarely been inter- -

Lucas loved

‘Holy smokes, if I got this

FOUND HIS DESTINY

Lucas found his destiny
when .he enrolled in*‘the
University of Southern Cali-
fornia film school. “Suddenly
my whole life was film —
every waking hour. It was all
new, neat and exciting.”

“Being a director i: is avery

Does Lucas have a secret
of success? Only one, he says.

* “Children’s entertainment is a big, largely untapped
market,” says Westphal. “The festivals have been success-
ful, I think, because parents are moro willing to go to them
knowing the shows are geared to all the family. Parents

Some of the acts include Bobby Berky and Friends from

+ OTTAWA (CP) — The Liberal government appears
to have lost ‘the powor to get ilegisiation through the
Commons because of dolaying tactics by: the Progressive
Conservatives:and:the NDP,
wo. That bodes ill for further proposals) to reform.the
legislative process, not to mention meaning bad riews for

before the July 1 break for summer holidays. r i
The first report of a special committee on procedures

report before July 1 with at least as much bebe caer toit,

ne the governing Liberals feel their legislative
record has suffered. Second, the Conservatives. under
combative Eik Nielsen, first as House loader and then
interim party leader, have used a variety ‘of processes to

‘Third, the NDP is ‘dug in’ ‘against the ‘bia to raise thie
historic Crowsnest Pass grain-carrying charges. 4

So the question may not be how much more reform
can be expected but how much of the existing reform will
survive.

The'deputy leader then replied: ‘That was riot a brand of;
whisky.’

- “I resent the fact that he is suggesting... , that. Iam a:
whisky drinker ... I would like hint to know that I am a:

“These studies should convince us in the political!
field to prevail through you, Madame Speaker, to:
regulate smoking in parliamentary committee rooms in
