John Kennedy, head of CBC TV drama, said the in- crease in drama program- ming (74% hours will be broadcast next season, up from 57 this season) stems from the absence of two set- backs that hampered pre- vious efforts — a six-week strike by technicians in 1980 and last year's budget cuts, decline in viewers, would_be..

George Walker's spoof of the 1940s detective tale, which won four Dora Mavor Moore awards in Canada, is being performed by the Tor- onto-based Factory Theatre Lab during a seven-week tour of Britain. The play got good reviews from the critics in Edin- burgh, Glasgow, Leicester and but if Lon- duced. A i 4 Simon pleased Playwright Neil Simon says having a theatre named after him is the “biggest royalty I've ever received.” Simon, 55, who has written 21 Broadway plays in 22 years, told friends, family and actors how theatres got their names. “The Plymouth Theatre, of course as you all know, was the first theatre to sail to America to esca li don's critics had their way, the play would not win awards. “As a well-timed transat- lantic contribution to the pastiche boom, I wish I could feel enthusiastic about it,” wrote Irving Wardle in The Times. “In a random way, the piece scores a number of passing hits,” Wardle con- tinued. “But the first task of a show of this kind is to devise a narrative framework to contain the incidental gags, Without that, it is extremely hard to keep. your attention fixed on the stage and the mediocre performatices of (Community TV 7 CABLE WEST 10 Access Television Thursday, July 6 6:00—Sign-on and program information. 6:05—Venturing into Small Business.

RESPECT ESSENTIAL “It is acted by the Factory Theatre Laboratory from Toronto with every sign of respect, which is essential, of course, if the thing is to work at all.” Shorter especially liked David Bolt as Bernard, the homosexual survivor of Nazi- occupied Paris, around whom the murder plot revolves. “David Bolt represents this reprehensible charac- ter’s nervous loquacity, live- liness of mind and obsessive lechery with admirable re- source. “But one clever comic per- formance like Mr. Bolt's is hardly enough to give the show any theatrical sub- stance beyond that of a pro- longed revue sketch.” Rosaline Carne, writing in The Guardian, thought the plot “neat enough for a cheap novel,” but she said it needed more to work on stage. “Mr. Walker is billed as one of Canada's most prolific Ki ist; interviewed by Joanne Langlois, dur- ing a recent workshop at the NEC.

TORONTO (CP) — Federal investigators raided a hand- ‘ful of the 41 daily newspapers pwned by Thomson News- papers Ltd. on Tuesday in- bluding three in B.C., a com- pany spokesman says. Michael Doody, a lawyer for the newspaper chain, would not say how many papers had been‘raided un- der the Combines Investiga- ‘tion Act or where they were located. There were “not very many” raids, he said. “Only a handful . . . and my handfuls are very small.” Doody said investigators were looking at financial and business records, but they did not tell the company ex- actly what they wanted. There has been no sugges- tion that charges may be laid asa result of the raids, he added. ‘Thomson Newspapers Ltd. and Southam Inc., Canada’s two largest newspaper pub- lishers, have been committed to stand trial in September on seven conspiracy, merger and monopoly charges in connection with the Aug. 27, 1980, closings of the Thom- son-owned Ottawa Journal and the Southam-owned Win- nipeg. Tribune and other transactions. Lawson Hunter, director of Milne said he had no idea what the investigators were looking for or what prompted the surprise raid. “It scares me. They (the investigators) have a very broad date and we can't and for the federal Department of Consumer and Corporate Af- fairs, said the raids were not related to the September charges, INVOLVES PRICING Hunter, who would not give details on where the raids occurred, said the ac- tions were conducted under Section 84 of the act which lists the offences of preda- tory pricing, price discrim- ination and regional price discrimination. In Woodstock, Ont., the publisher of The Sentinel Review said combines inves- tigators there agreed to limit the search to the newspa- per’s business offices. “I will raise royal hell if they try to get into the newsroom,” Jamie Milne said while investigators searched his desk drawers. stop them.” RAID B.C. PAPERS Officials of three British Columbia newspaper, the Naniamo Free Press, the Kelowna Courier and the Penticton Herald confirmed their papers had been raided. Penticton Herald publisher John Kobylnik said investi- gators did ‘not enter the newsroom, did not seize any- thing and did not tell him why they were there. “T'm as much in the dark as anyone,” said Kobylnik. Copies of anything seized have to be left at the paper arid the actual documents may be held by the federal government for 40 days. Doody said the company plans to challenge the inves- tigators’ authority to search the premises on constitu- tional grounds and expects the matter will be heard in Thomson papers raided court shortly, * at! In January, the: Alberta Court of Appeal declared un- constitutional a raid by anti- combines investigators on the Southam-owned, Ramob- ton Journal in’ April, 1982, because investigation powers under the Combines Investi- gation Act were too broad.
