The Game JLof Kings THE SCENE: James Brown and his fabulous show will be in Montreal this summer. The dale is June 21 and the place is (lie Paul Sauve Arena. That's all that's known right now, but that's enough And large news for still-frustrated Cream fans. They'll be back, this time, we hope, in perfect health.

The date is June 11, at the Sauve Arena again.

Word has Trevor and Payne and His Scul Brothers and George Oliiver and His Children on the bill, Should be a gas Donald K. Donald Productions are in the process of putting Montreal to the forefront of the Canadian music cities. The first big effort happens tonight at the Sudbury, Ont.

Arena. Billed as- The Montreal Sound Circus, the show features The Carnival Connection, The Rabble, Simple Simon and The Piemen, The Power of Beckett and the Philharmonic Halocaust. Once all those Ontario minds are blown by that display of Montreal firepower then other shows should follow. Among the plans for the summer are the purchase of a bus to transport the groups on other ventures into the jungles of Ontario. Having a bus has two advantages; you don't have to worry about meeting a train schedule and once the initial outlay is made the tour could become profit efforts for all concerned.

Montreal groups have made big Mts in Ontario, but always singly, and the sort of organization that's behind tibia show could usher in whole new period of prosperity for Montreal groups. DKD and Canadian General Associates are handling the affair. BY D. QUIZ No. 884 Black 13 Pieces I -a-1 i i a -r White 12 Pieces Black to play and win.

Bid Made Maltin Warned would be unfair to the very, large membership if their, popular hobby is branded by a handfull of selfish players. The facts are that even those who were involved in this gambling deal play duplicate because they like the game, and any one else wouldn't even think of betting on games. Yet, these "betting few" are ranked among the better bridge players of this city.

The Winnipeg group has that same rather, destructive wind-up as Europe's best-paid group, but it's not really important. What is important is their sound. "Shakin' All Over" three years ago made the group known all over the world and although they haven't been able to follow their first smash as effectively, they've maintained a respect from the audiences, and more importantly, the groups of the world. The people remember them from their personal appearances they're always on the go, it seems and a well-run organiiation that churns out a fanclub magazine and comes up with promotion ideas, like Guess Who sweat shirts. The other groups remember them for their ability, and the western group number The Who among their musical friends From left to THE REALM OF France is issuing May 6 a 40c stamp portraying the writer Alain Rene Le Sage, on the 300th.

showing a view of Beziers. By Sam Gamblers Just two columns 'ago, we gave out with the thought, ithat bridge is one card game that doesn't need the backing of playing for money. We still go along with that thought. But it doesn't go with others. It seems, according to a report to the board of directors of the Montreal Bridge League at last Monday's meeting, that players on two teams in the section of the team-of-four loop were involved in a betting pool to the tune of several hundred dollars.

After hearing the captains the involved teams, the directors deckled against suspending the players, but issued a warning that any future betting in- league play will result an automatic suspension. The American Contract Bridge League, the parent body of duplicate bridge on this continent, has always frowned on gambling at any of its sanctioned events. A reminder of this rule has been printed in- bold type on a poster always prominently displayed at all tournaments.

As such they've been together about two years and will be here next Friday for their first Montreal appearance. The show will be held simultaneously at the Dorval Arena and the Loyola Arena with the second featured group being The Rabble, as the above two make the arena switch The Sount Box, billed as the eltctronie soul experience, and The Pops Merrily, featuring Pete Sutherland on organ, will fill in. That's Friday. HAPPENINGS: The Arctic Beatles are back. In Montreal we call them the Carnival Connection, but when they were in Frobisher Bay last week they felt Ike The Beatles.

They flew up Monday night and staggered back in after two shows and what basoist singer Pete Carson described as one of the greatest times of his Me. The town of 1700 people treated them like kings, presented them with beautiful eskimo carvings and lined up at the plan to giev them a rousing sendoff. Pete said one of the greatest things -about the place is the air although it went down to 10 below one night being 60 clean. They played one show in a hall with a capacity of 600 people. They somehow squeezed in 800.

(They must have been on the stage). Their other show was in a 2,000 capacity hall, so filling it wag impossible in a town of 1700, but they did get 1500. When you consider the population figure includes children and old people that's pretty good The fabulous Five Bells have a problem. The Montreal-based group that has blossomed into a club act that plays pieces like the Americans in Miami and the Hotel Bonaventure here with a rock sound, have another member. He's Ronnie Blackwel'l, an extremely talented bassist who you may remember from the Pops Merrily, among others.

Would you believe The Six Bells? MORE: You may remember another Bell. Drummer Doug Gravelle, who was with the Misfits a while back. When we spoke to Doug last week he told us that a recording date is in store for the Bells, and, of course, the usual run of places like New York, Miami, The Bahamas, etc. Sounds like a tough life. In fact, if you want to indoctrinate your parents to rock send them up to Le Portage in the Hotel Bonaventure, where The Bells have been lineing them up all week.

Their appeal is fantastic and people of all ages think they're the greatest Les Sinners, one of Montreal's top French groups, have released a single celled "Go-Go about our swingin' PM Three records by local groups either out or on the verge of release. The Rabble have "Mr. Moneygreen" and "Buttercup Blues" on Trans-World; The Sound Box have "Warm Your Mind and Soul" produced by Al Nichols end Bill Hillon Regency; and the Power of Beckett have "Don't Let Me Sleep Too Long" on Quality The Electric Prunes, who have been known to operate with electric suits weird lights in the material are at Admiral Alfie's Lighthouse Carnaval this weekend.

For the first year, they've added an English and we'll have the winning artist's name next week. The Festival is designed to promote Canadian talent and includes 50 booths for record firms, fan clubs, radio stations and whatnot and for three years has been the top event of the year in the French recording industry Last year they got about 50,000 people in the rour-day run.
