I when metro took control of the decision to support the j major City Parks recreation be bylaw was made at the Assoc a came the major function of the lion s annual meeting earlier this j Board a purpose for which month. In a letter to the member it was not specifically created. Community centres not represent j it has been the City s cd at the meeting association for the last two years to resume president Harry Straw Bridge has j direct control of the Board s re urged All centres to give their mailing functions. Support by encouraging their members to vote for the bylaw. Winnipeg ratepayers will go to the polls wednesday to decide the Parks and recreation Board s Fate. If the bylaw is approved the Board will be replaced by a committee of City Council. In his Letler. Or. Strawbridge the City must approve the annual budget of the Parks Board but has tended to reduce the budget preventing orderly devel Oppenl of recreational programs. The association feels the Only time recreation is discussed in Council is at budget time and then there is Little interest by listed some of the major argue Council members in defending the ments in favor of and reasons Parks Board budget for dissolving the Parks Board. The Board s annual report is when the Parks Board was the Only other Means by which Coffee break Chicago Rex Harrison who looks much younger and trimmer in person than on stage and screen lifted an Eyebrow gave his Best Henry Higgins smile con fessed his favorite song was i could have danced All instead of the dominating role he plays in the film my fair lady which was previewed to the press in Chi Cago the Jaunty or. Harrison prefers to but he was obviously pleased when Lovely Audrey Hepburn his co Star in the film came right Back to a columnist s question and said her favorite was i be grown accustomed to your face. That s the song of course which or. Harrison sings in the film the other his is done by miss Hepburn. She confessed rather shyly i did do part of the or. Harrison on the other hand admitted that he does t sing but rather talk sings his Way through the picture. Call it what he will there s probably no one in show business who can do it better and it s set a whole new trend for male performers in musicals. One year to pay most of the big names associated with the 517 million film were present to meet the press at the Bismarck hotel immediately after the screening. Jack l. Warner the president of Warner Brothers was All smiles. And he should be because he predicted to me that the Money would All come Back within a year based on present sales. After that the film should Start pouring in profits perhaps greater than any other picture Ever made. Or. Warner who is not a shy Man by any Means thinks it will be the greatest motion picture in history. That s quite a bold statement but coming from a Man who was major figure behind the making of the jazz Singer with Al Jolson the picture that revolutionized the Industry his words can t be taken lightly. Both miss Hepburn and or. Harrison were extremely obliging to the press radio to people who came to Chicago for the picture. In fact it did t take much urging to get them to kiss for the crowd and this was suggested by newsmen simply because they Don to Actu ally kiss in the film. Although everyone connected with the film is excited i found that or. Harrison s greatest Delight came when i mentioned i had been in London recently during the opening of his wife s new musical Maggie May. I phoned her today and she read me reviews of my fair lady that appeared in the English newspapers it was an extremely Happy he said. England in t England Cecil Beaton the designer of sets and costumes explained some of the reasons the film was shot in Holly Wood rather than England even though it has strictly an English setting. First of All England does t look like England he amplified that by saying London has changed so much since the 1912 period of Shaw s original play that it was impossible to find the necessary exteriors. Added or. Warner i think it proves that films can be shot in their entirety in Hollywood. This is going Back to a former trend and one for which we Are about the picture itself this in t meant to be a review because that will probably come after it opens in Winnipeg. But from standpoint it left me with a warm and wonderful glow a feeling that was echoed by most of those who saw the film. Going even further it s the first picture i be seen that i wanted to see again and i m looking Forward to wednesday night in Winnipeg. My recommendation is Don t miss it.
