Rigby stars
in Peter Pan

Few stories have wider appeal and
recognition than Peter Pan, which
was first produced in 1904 at the
Duke of York's Theatre in London. It
was such a success that it has been
presented in London every Christ:
mas since. In 1905, it opened on
Broadway, and in 1954, the first
musical version appeared, with the
Broadway star, Mary Martin, in the
title role,

The musical version which will
appear at the Spokane Opera House
will star Cathy Rigby, a former U.S.
Olympic gymnast, who has devel
oped as an outstanding singer,
dancer and performer in the last 10
years and has received rave reviews
in productions of The Wizard of Oz,
Paint Your Wagon and They're Play
ing Our Song.

Rigby has appeared in Peter Pan
for the Theatre Under the Stars in
Houston. She received the best
actress award from the Los Angeles
Drama-Logue Critics for her per.
formance in Peter Pan.

Legendary blues and tock per.
former, Long John Baldry, will star
as Captain Hook. Baldry is a seminal
figure in the history of British rock
and roll and has had a major
influence on the careers of many
British rock stars, including Rod
Stewart, Elton John and Mick
Jagger.

He has recorded over 25 albums
and over 35 singles in a career that
has spunned 28 years. He has been
awarded several gold records in
Canada, the UK and Australia. In
Peter Pan, Baldry will play the dual
role of Mr. Darling/Captain Hook.
When he dons his pirate hat and
boots, he stands a formidable seven
feet-two inches tall, an interesting
contrast to the five-foot tall Rigby.

Peter Pan is directed and chore-
ographed by Jeff Hyslop. Hyslop is
well known as a singer, dancer and
director, and has been seen on
Broadway in A Chorus Line.

The svectacular flying effects ex
ecuted by Peter Pan and the Darling
children have been engineered by the
world famous Flying Foys. The Foys
were responsible for the flying of
Mary Martin in the 1954 production
of Peter Pan and have “flown” hun.
dreds of performers.

NO MORE GORE

Horror films change

By JOHN HORN
Associated Press

HOLLYWOOD — Listen. You can come out from
under your seat now. The really gross parts are over.

Yes, masochists will shed a tear. But the filmic fun
of flying body parts, exploding brains and. chainsaw
haircuts is fading.

Today's horror filmmakers, abandoning the point
blank plasma of recent years, are returning to
psychological thrillers, with a wealth of lively style,
replacing heaps of dead teenagers.

Dead Ringers, which opened to brisk business at
the box office, steers away from the entrails so
prevalent in Canadian director David Cronenberg's
previous efforts The Fly and Scanners. George Romero,
who charmed us with cannibalizingzombies in 1979's
Dawn of the Dead, just delivered Monkey Shines, a taut
chiller with hardly any viscera.

While the splatter is gone, the suspense is back —
both Dead Ringers and Monkey Shines, critics agree,
are profoundly frightening.

“There's been a lot of good scaring in the last 15-20
years, and you can't do the same old thing anymore,”
said Wes Craven, director of the acclaimed origihal
Nightmare on Elm Street. “The audience was bored.
They had seen it. They were ready for somethy rd
different.”

SLASH SLUMPS

Hack-and-slash movies, championed in the mid-
1980s by the blockbuster Friday the 13th series and
later installments of the Halloween sequels, aren't
producing the packed houses they once did. In fact, this
summer's grisly shockers The Blob and Phantam II both
croaked at the box office.

“If your film is all a butcher-block collection of
death, I don't think you're working with as large an
audience as you could be,” said Pen Densham, director
and co-producer of The Kiss, a spooky supernatural
thriller. “The challenge now is to take the audience into
your imagaination.”

Few have succeeded at that

better than

upsetting, the shock value in Dead Ringers is, in a twist,
as fancied as it is real. Among the most disturbing
scenes in the movie, a tale of psychotic twin doctors, is
the simple unveiling of a half-dozen malformed
gynecological devices.

“The instruments are physical things that I'm using
to represent a state of mind,” Cronenberg said. “It's
only an extrapolation from what we used to feel sitting
in a dentist's chair, Suddenly the tray of little
instruments is wheeled up. You know that technically
they are to help you. But experientially they're going to
hurt.”

EMPHASIS SHIFTS

The challenge for today’s fright masters is to snare
the mainstream — not just those who, for lack of
anything better to do, love being scared to death.
Toward that goal, directors are concentrating on more
traditional storytelling, with a greater emphasis on
inventive visuals, tighter, more logical plots and
creative music and sound effects.

“The directors who are committed to the genre are
maturing,” said veteran horror specialist John

fear of attack. When manipulations of that
emotion grew too frequent, the genre lost its original
snap.

“When you got down to that level (with anonymous
children dying anonymous deaths), what you're really
doing is pornography,” Carpenter said. “You're only
setting the audience up for the meat.”

Said Craven: “There are different kinds of terror.
One is just terror of having your body harmed —
someting like Friday the 13th with Jason coming after
you with a machete. But there are other kinds. There is
the terror of whether you're sane or not, or whether
your perceptions are accurate or not, or whether your
dreams are real.

“Those sorts of things to me are much more
interesting, and much more complex, and have more of

Parliament TV expanding

OTTAWA (CP) — Canadians will
happily pay higher cable-television
bills to watch an expanded version of
the parliamentary channel they now
get free, says CBC president Pierre
Juneau.

But others aren't so sure.

The CBC and Canadian cable com.
panies announced that they’ve joined
forces to apply for a licence to show
MPs talking in the Commons, plus a
variety of other public events such as
luncheon speeches, conventions, na
tional party activities, judi¢ial in
quiries and perhaps Senate debates
and Commons committee hearings.

But neither Juneau nor Philip
Lind, senior vice-president of Rogers

Communications, offered any con
crete evidence to back up their
contention that Canadians are willing
to pay more for coverage of these
events.

Lind said they extrapolated a
desire for enhanced news services
from studies done before hearings in
1987 by the Canadian Radio-tele
vision and Telecommunications Com
mission on specialty cable channels
such as the CBC all-news, religion,
whether and children’s channels.

“I guess we went from that,” Lind
said.

About six million people now get
the parliamentary channel free with

David McKendry, cable specialist
at the Consumers’ Association of
Canada, said his group has been
deluged with complaint letters.

Canadians are angry they were
never asked if they wanted the new
specialty services, that they have to
pay for them whether they want
them or not and they have little
choice in whether they take cable.
Since cable companies are monopol.
ies, people who decide to disconnect
the service can only buy an antenna.

The CRTC has also received com-
plaint letters, about 4,000. But chair.
man Andre Bureau discounts them,
saying the commission always hears

iF ss when fees rise but sub-

their basic cabl service.
BILLS INCREASE

But if the new and improved
channel is approved, cable bills will
rise eight cents a month at the start,
increasing to 10 cents a month by the
fifth year of operation.

Not a significant amount,
said.

But some people, who have seen
their cable bills rise by as much as
$2.59 a month this fall, are in
creasingly feeling nickled and dimed
to death by cable companies.

Lind

seribers have not rushed to discon
nect their service.

Michael Allen, director of pro.
gramming and planning for Rogers,
said several general Gallup surveys
have shown Canadians are interested
in new cable services.

A 1986 Environics Research Group
study showed only three per cent of
Canadians watch the parliamentary
channel almost every day

A further 10 per cent watch it at
least once a week

Some gates unsafe

Consumer and Corporate Affairs
Canada has warned consumers
against the use of certain accordion
style baby gates which have dia
mond-shaped spaces between the
slats and large V-shaped openings
along the top of the gate.

These gates are made of wood or
hard plastic and can be expanded
scissor-like across an opening such as
a doorway. The diamond-shaped
spaces are large enough to entrap the
head and neck of a child, with risk of
suffocation, the ministry says in a
news release. More adventurous

children may slip while climbing the
gate and hang themselves in a “V" on
the upper edge of the gate, the
release adds.

Although it may be possible to find
these gates in some retail outlets,
they are usually sold second-hand or
handed down from one user to
another.

The warning follows the recent
death of a 21-month-old Ontario tod.
dler. The child died after her neck
became wedged in one of the top V's
of the gate. This is the second such
death to be reported in Canada.

Slocan Hospital
Auxiliary meets

The last meeting of 1988 for the
South Slocan Hospital Auxiliary was
held Dec. 8 at the Kootenay Cattle
Company restaurant. There were 19
members and three guests in at

Business was a brief but important
session. Reports revealed a bank
balance of $2,840.35. The executive
was returned with only one change —
Betty Ridge asked to be relieved of
her secretarial duties and Edith Berg
of Crescent Valley volunteered to fill
the vacancy.

The executive for
follows:

1989 is as

President — Diane Dunsmore; vice
president — Ida Kosiancic; treas-
urer — Hazel Varney; secretary —
Edith Berg.

Appointees: phoning committee —
Flo Carlson and Joan Millard; re.
porter and publicity — Sadie Ham
mond; and historian — Merla Ridge.

The draw for Big Bear and an
ample grocery hamper will take place
Friday, Dec. 16 at the Kootenay
Credit Union budiling, South Slocan,
at 3 p.m. with Helen Zarikoff and
Sadie Hammond in charge.

Helen Zarikoff offere’ her home
for the Jan. 12 meeting with Rose
Rilkoff assisting.

Alton to speak

“Why fear the true God?”

This is the title of the public
address to be delivered at 1:30 p.m.
Sunday Dee. 18 in the Cominco gym
in Trail by Robert Alton of the Watch
Tower Bible and Tract Society. The
occasion is the second convention this
year of Jehovah's Witnesses for the
West Kootenay.

Allinterested people are invited to
attend and hear this message.

The convention gets under way
Saturday morning, Dec. 17 at 9:55.
The opening talk will be “Main
taining the Scriptural View of Ser.
ving God.”

Saturday afternoon's program is a
symposium on the theme “How God-
ly Fear Should Affect Us;” part 1
—“Understanding the Meaning of
Godly Fear;” part 2 — “In Rendering
Scared Service;” part 3— “When We
Speak With One Another.”

Starting again at 9:55 in the
morning, Sunday’s program on the
theme, “Perfecting Holiness In God's
Fear” covers four aspects of life:
physical cleanness, mental cleanness,
moral cleanness and spiritual clean
ness.

key public address on Sunday, Dec.
18 at 1:30 p.m. — “Why Fear the

When purchasing a baby gate,
consumers are advised to look for a
durable, well-constructed gate, pre
ferably with a straight-topped edge
on a small-meshed screen or bars.
The gate should be properly installed
in accordance with the manufac
turer's instructions, with the latching
mechanism located on the side away
from the child, the ministry advises.
The gate should be checked regularly
to ensure that it is securely in place.

Parents and caregivers are re-
minded of the need to supervise
young children even when a gate is in
use for safety reasons.
