has volunteered to be a judge
again when the screening of

winners will be announced on
the annual Emmys broadcast
on CBS Sept. 23.

“But I'll only do a comedy
series,” he said. “There's be
no long form for this boy.”

Fontana must tell the
academy his current eredits
to avoid any conflict of
interest.

small glitch, The supervisor
found a different tape, but
because of the “entirety”
rule, the panel had to watch
the program from the begin-

gap, producing a near rebel-
lion.

“Tt was like Mutiny on the
Bounty,” said Fontana. “But
this time we convinced the
supervisor that seeing it
twice should count once. I felt
badly for I,-Leonard. We
were so antagonized that it
just had to lose.”

ter Murch said during a
recent interview on the set.

“Audiences, especially
teenagers, tend to be some
what cynical nowadays, so
you can't be so openly sen
timental,” Kurtz said, explai
ning the film is being made
now because “We have the
technology to do it.”

That technology includes a
mirrored $852,500 set used as
‘the Throde“Room of the
wicked P¥ineess Mombi, a
patented process of clay an
imation known as Claymation
and the construction of the
flying, moose-like Gump out
of an old Victorian sofa and
palm fronds for wings.

By KENT ROBBIE
Kinnaird Hall resonated
Wednesday to the enchant
ing and hauntingly beautiful
melodies of composer and in.
ternationally-known santour
artists, Masoud Missaghian.

Masoud Missaghian is per
haps one of the best santour
players in the world. He has
won numerous medals of the
highest honor in both Ger
many, where he now resides,
and in Iran the iand of his
birth.

Missaghian impresses one
as a deeply spiritual man. He
is a devoted Baha'i and a man
with a vision — he feels that
as he travels and shares his

music with all peoples he is
thereby furthering the cause
of the unity of mankind, to
which he devotes his music.

Missaghian's compositions
are inspired by the suffering
of the Baha'is in Iran who are
being scorned, imprisoned,
tortured and even killed for
believing in such principles
as equal rights for men and
women, the unity of reli
gions, and the coming to
gether in friendship of the
eastern and western coun-
tries of the earth.

His niece was killed and he
wrote a piece of music en
titled “Innocent” in memory
of her, which he performed
Wednesday

The santour is an ancient
instrument of Middle East
ern origin and is the kind of
instrument that would have
calmed King Saul (I Sam
16:16), and on which the
ancient Jewish peoples play
ed their sacred music. A san
tour is similar to the dulcimer
and zither

The local Baha'i commun.
ity presented Missaghian
with a bouquet of roses and a
earved Doukhobor ladle as
keepsakes to remember his
time in the Castlegar area.

Missaghian found many
new friends in the area and is
hoping to return in the spring
of next year

Singin’ In

LONDON (AP) — Six nights a week at London's Palla
dium Theatre, Tommy Steele dances his way through a
torrential downpour of 340 litres of water a minute.

But it's the show itself — a stage adaptation of the MGM
movie musical Singin’ In The Rain — that almost became a
wash-out when the critics didn't like it.

“It seems that the show is gleefully trampling on the
grave of the silent cinema,” wrote Irving Wardle in The
Times of London when the $1.5-million production, set in
Hollywood during the silent era, opened June 30, 1983.

But after 18 months, the glossy musical is one of Lon
don’s hits — and neither the star nor his producer is casting
too many backward glances.

“The critics missed the point,” the 47-year-old Steele,
who also directed the production, said recently after a Wed
nesday matinee. “If they came to see Gene Kelly do the
stage version of Singin’ In The Rain, they were some 30

The Rain

The 1952 film, co-directed by Stanley Donen and Gene
Kelly, starred Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Rey
nolds. Among the songs that have been carried over to the
stage are Good Mornin’, Moses Supposes, and the puddle
splashing title tune.

PUBLIC DECIDES

Harold Fielding, the show's producer, said
thought the public was the arbiter

“What a critic wants to see is not necessarily what Mr
and Mrs. Smith are going to want to see on those one or two
times a year when they come away from the TV.”

Throughout a 26-year association with Steele that has
included presenting the former pop star in Half A Sixpence,
Fielding has accepted the critics’ aspersions philosophically

“Singin’ In The Rain is a good piece of razzmatazz
entertainment,” he said. “I'm a great believer in spectacle,
and I think that if you give the public the goods, they'll
respond.”

"None of the leaders, of course, will adialt that is their
program. But that's what it boils down to.
They're promising, in various forms, subsidies to

employers to hire more

people, especially for training;

grants to workers to entourage them to pet off the
unemployment insurance rolls and back into the Wotk force;
even payments to set up your own business — if you're

young enough to qualify .

‘The problem, obviously, with most of these plans is that
they are at best a plaster-and-paint operation.
You can train and retrain someone until he’s eligible for

old-age pension, but unless there’

job available after he

completes one of the programs it's really'a wasted effort.
Not to mention wasted money provided by you as a

taxpayer.

FINDS JOB

The logical response, of course,

is to create an

strong ii

growth that

jor
enough jobs will be found to reduce the unemployment level
to fomr per cent — or whatever level is accepted as

reasonable —

from the latest 11-per-cent figure.

That's why politicians are saying that governments
can’t tackle the unemployment problem alone — they need

the help of private business.

This has the advantage of passing responsibility for the

total around a bit, though it begs the question of

what those governments are doing to make it possible for
businesses to expand so they can establish new jobs

Let's look, however, at some of the other figures

StateCan provided on its latest labor survey, apart from the

A year StatsCan reported 12 per-cent of the work
force, or 1.406 million people were jobless, compared with
last month's 11 per cent or 1.326 million: Percentage

comparisons, however, can be misleading because of changes —

in the makeup of the labor force.

That said, the latest survey by the Conference Board of
Canada of 17 major banking and financial institutions
projected an average unemployment rate this year of 11 per
cent, compared with 11.9 per cent in 1983.

In the United States, however, where economic growth
this year is expected to be the strongest in three decades,
unemployment now is expected to drop to an average of 6.8
per cent for the year.

That means the U.S. has far outperformed Canada, no
only in economie growth, but also in reaping benefits from
that expansion.

Canada, of courée has benefited mightily from the US.
expansion, as show by its $9.9-billion trade surplus for the
first six months of this year — due in large to shipments to
the U.S.

But these rewards have come in limited areas, such as
autos and auto parts. That's one reason Canada's surge in
exports hasn't resulted in corresponding declines in the
unemployment rate:

And that won't happen until economic recovery
becomes much more widely spread than it now is.

Selling real estate

EDMONTON (CP) — Bob
Cheret has moved from wor:
king as a meat-cutter to head
one of the fastest growing
and most controversial real
estate firms in Western

nada.

Cherot heads Re-Max Real
Estate (Edmonton) Ltd.,
which he has built into the
second-largest real estate
firm in the city.

The bearded entrepreneur
is battling his former employ
er, AE. LePage Real Estate
Services Ltd., to become No-
1 in Edmonton. In the first
half of 1984, Re-Max's sales
were almost $54 million,
while LePage's topped $79
million. »

While LePage's regional
manager, Ken Shearer, said
Re-Max offers competition
for his experienced sales
people, Re-Max has “no train
ing for sales people and little
managerial control; their
main recruiting ground is
other companies.”

Cherot admits the recruit
ment of top producers is
largely responsible for Re
Max's growth during the
recession that has claimed
other firms.

Many leading salesmen
have been attracted to Re
Max because of its concept,
which enables them to make
more money, Cherot said in
an interview

ReMax salesmen retain
full commission, paying the
firm $360 monthly manage
ment fee and another $600 or
so for their share of office
expenses.

At most companies, comm
issions are split equally be
tween the firm and sales
persgn, with the company
paying expenses. At
companies, the percentage of
commission a sales person
receives increases as his
sales go up.

One salesman, who asked
not to be identified, said: “My
expenses when everything is
included are probably $18,
000. year. That means if my
total commissions are $100,
000, T'd be making $82,000. If
1 was ‘still working for a

some

Don Clark, Edmonton Real
Estate Board president, said
there are concerns about Re
Max. *

“Our main worry is that
under the 100-per-cent com
mission system, the agent
has little control over the

person.

“There's also not as much
control or management in the
individual branches as the
board would like to see.”

In Edmonton, Re-Max has
a sales staff of 120 and has
grown to nine offices with

‘plans to open two more in

September.
Cherot opened his first

Re-Max office in 1980. The
following year, Re-Max was
the city’s 12th larges real-
estate firm, based on real
estate board figures. Re-Max
moved into second place last
year with sales of $66 million
compared with LePage’s
$153 million.

Cherot and his father,
Robert Sr., also hold the
western franchise for Re
Max, a Denver-based organ
ization which began opera
tion in 1978 and now has 700
offices in the United States
and Canada.

Cherot now is selling the
company's franchises in the

four western provinces,
Cherot, who operated a
meat market before getting
into the real estate business
12 years ago, is determined
the firm will keep growing.
“We're the conventional
system of the future and our
system makes good sense for
both -buyera..and vendors
because ‘sales people are
more professional and there's
an incentive for them to work
harder,” Cherot said.
