Phil Donahue master of drama

NEW YORK (AP) — Donahue has no couch, no monologues, no band and no spinning wheels yet it moves faster and talks faster than any mere talk show, sort of an action-adventure drama without screeching tires.

And, as master of it all, stands Phil Donahue to prod and provoke his audience, cater to them and cajole them. He is more a showman-reporter than any mere talk show host.

Seventeen years ago at a Dayton, Ohio, television station, Donahue replaced a failing variety show and initially disappointed the ticketholders anticipating the usual music, comedy and dog tricks.

“Sometime during that first week,1jumped off my chair and ran into the audience, ee Donahue, who's been running at top speed ever since with a high-voltage syndicated program.

Today the ticketholders are co-stars and what they anticipate is controversy, current events and sex tal

“I know there's no Donahue without the audience,” he said.

The star treatment accorded a Donahue audience begins in the studio warm-up, when executive producer Pat MeMilien urges the crowd to “applaud, boo, hiss, moan or groan — just be involved.”

Seconds before the broadcast begins, Donahue briskly walks in and takes control.

There's no rehearsal, no applause signs.

Cross wants soul

LONDON (AP) — The Academy Award-winning British film, Chariots of Fire, may have made Ben Cross a familiar name, but the Eng- lish actor prefers American roles because of their emot- ionalism

“Over here, people hide behind mannerism and tech- nique and don't come up with any soul,” the dark-haired, sunken-cheeked performer said in his soft British accent.

Cross, 37, sat in his dres- sing room at the Queen's Theatre discussing his curr- ent role as defendant Barney Greenwald in London's hit revival of The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, Herman Wouk's courtroom drama of a 1945 naval trial.

“This part . . . runs all the gamut of the emotions,” he said.

With American co-star and director Chariton Heston and a largely American support- ing cast, Cross said his empathy with, and exposure 1 to, American ways helped

It's all up to Donahue, who's not only the circus rifigleader directing the crowd's physical and emotional attention; he's also the lion tamer, trumpet player and Popeorn vendor.

Not to mention high-wire juggler who keeps his guest panelists, studio audiences and phone callers all airborne at the same time. He does his choreography without a net, or at least without an earpiece connecting him to the control room.

“It’s Phil's baby,” said David McGrail, the director who pushes the buttons but knows it’s his job to follow rather than lead. “I never know what he’s going to do.

“I can't daydream for one second because Phil's running all over the studio, and I want to get the right reaction shot.”

Donahue decides when to take calls, when to charge back for a hostile questioner, when to go to commercial.

“It’s not a perfect science,” Donahue said. “If something's happening you don’t want to break away.”

Sometimes he'll stay with a segment so long that all the commercials are shoved into the second half hour.

“That's a sign of insecurity,” he said. “If the show's not happening, I keep pushing and trying something, hoping for some magic out of the bottle.

“I think the record was 28 or 29 minutes without a commercial. That's when some stations complain.”

Over the hour, he won't let up.

“I feel a speech coming. We don't have time, caller. “This is an hour show. Be brief,” he'll tell an audience member.

Don't misconstrue that as Donahue insisted.

“The clock is the tyrant. When someone begins by saying something like, ‘I love your show,’ you can feel the momentum sag right away.”

Donahue said audiences in New York, his home since January, have “naturally greater energy” than the Chicago crowds of the past.

“I really believe audiences are more demanding here. They have a Broadway mindset, they come here saying ‘show me.’ "

Tie gang working in Kootenays

TRAIL — A 47-man CP Rail tie gang is at work in the southeastern Kootenays as the railway's 1985 works program in British Columbia gets into full swing.

The $4.1 million to be spent on the project is part of the $200 million in capital CP Rail plans to spend across British Columbia in 1985.

Work started April 1 on the railway’s Rossland sub- division, with the tie gang installing about 5,000 ties on six kilometres of track near Trail before moving on to the Castlegar area to replace an additional 37,000 ties. That work has been completed.

The workers are moving westward from Castlegar to Cascade before moving to Cranbrook in mid-June to work one month between

; rbelictioe:

Moyie and Yahk on the Nelson subdivision.

In all, between now and late August. the workers will replace about 110,000 ties on the division, which comprises all CP Rail southern B.C. trackage from Crowsnest in the east to Midway in the west and from Fort Steele north to Golden.

The ties, each of which is 2.4 metres long and weighs 70 kilograms, distribute mil- lions of kilograms of weight across the road bed as trains pass over them. They are placed on 50-centimetre in- tervals along the railway line and literally float on a bed of crushed rock ballast.

Work is done with as- sembly-line precision as the crew installs between 700 and 1,000 ties a day.

Wineries opt out of contracts

KELOWNA (CP) — Brit- ish Columbia’s three major wineries have opted out of their red grape contracts with Okanagan Valley grow- ers.

The wineries — Calona, Casabello and Andres — say they had to take the action because of a glut of red wine and increased competition from cheap foreign imports.

Growers, now stuck with mostly red grapes and no markets, say they face ser- ious financial problems in the coming year.

We're not a very healthy industry right now, that's clear,” said Lee Sienna, pres- ident of the B.C. Wine Coun- cil and general manager of Casabello.

He agreed the decision is “going to cause growers

problems, but I don't know what to do about it — we. just don’t need the (red) grapes.”

Dick Stewart, president of the B.C. Grape Growers’ Association, said growers are “looking into the legalities of the ) lati

ACTIVITY NOT OVER

Argus reorganizes

TORONTO (CP) — Argus, the all-seeing giant with 100

eyes in Greek mythology, was the name given to the

holding comp: in 1945 olling

such diverse companies as Dominion Stores and Massey Ferguson Ltd.

But under the- direction of millionaires Conrad and Montegu Black, Argus Corp. Ltd. has fallen from its position as the ever-watchful giant of Canadian business.

The company has also been rocked with uncertainty during the last few weeks and the turbulence promises to continue for weeks more.

Earlier this month, Argus announced it is selling its

ling interest in dard ing Corp. Ltd., the media group that runs giant radio station CFRB in Toronto.

This was followed by news that Argus will continue plans to divest itself of what was once the jewel of the Canadian grocery business, Dominion Stores.

After closing dozens of stores in the early 1980s, Dominion announced earlier this year it will sell more than 90 outlets to the A and P chain. Now the remaining 41 will be sold or closed.

And most recently, Argus announced a thorough reorganization of its main holding company, Argeen Holdings Ine.

NEWS OF SPLIT

On the same day, Montegu Black, 44, said in a CFRB interview that he and Conrad are splitting up. When Montegu sells his interest to Conrad, the younger brother will have almd#t exclusive control over the Argus group.

Bay Street watchers say all his activity isn't over, and there is more in store for the Argus group.

“We don’t know what the Black brothers are going to do with sale proceeds (from Dominion and Standard),” says David McQueen, an economist and specialist in corporate

“We all know there is a problem,” but both the wineries and the grower must work together to seek a solution, he said.

Members favor free trade

TORONTO (CP) — The Canadian Federation of Small Business says its members favor bilateral free trade with the United States after previously opposing it. The organization says a survey of its members shows 66 per cent of those responding fa- vor removal of tariffs and non-tariff barriers on sub- stantially all Canada-U.S. trade. Twenty per cent op- pose free trade and 14 per cent were decided

at York University’s Glendon College. “It seems to me they are not going to fade away like old soldiers.”

Conrad Black told the annual meeting in April of Norcen Energy Resources Ltd., one of his most-successful companies, that Argus is following a plan to move out of companies with questionable bottom-line earnings to firms like Norcen, which has had three years of profit growth.

First Marathon Securities has targeted Norcen, one of the most successful Black companies, as one of a number of young, aggressive petroleum firms on the lookout for other companies in the rapidly-recovering Alberta oil patch.

But Denis Mote, analyst with Maison Placements Canada Inc., says Bay Street fears that Norcen is going to bite off more than it can chew, possibly even renewing an unsuccessful bid for The Hanna Mining Co. of Cleveland, the world’s d-largest iron ore pi °

“The prevailing sentiment on the street is that the Blacks will do something to screw this (Norcen) up,” he says. “| hope they don’t force some non-oil and gas interests on the company.”

Mote noted that Norcen spent $27.6 million last year to increase its stake in Hanna, whose iron ore business has fallen on hard times since the recession. More recently, Norcen sold its stable but steady Northern and Central gas utility. “In a sense I don't like what they're done already.”

Such sentiments on Bay Street are not new for Conrad

Twenty-three per cent of the organization's 70,000 mem: bers responded to the sur. vey.

So the group decided to have a “rowdy table contest” where the most enthusiastic table won a free pitcher of beer. One night, a customer in a Midland, Mich., bar held a table over his head and smashed it to the floor.

“How's THAT for a rowdy table?” he asked the band.

Sawyer Brown's high energy show and unpredi ctable antics on stage soon began drawing fans.
