Altogether there were about 200 invited guests prominent people, some of them waiting in the comfortable red seats of Cinema 2. The audience for the official opening of the three-theatre complex in the new Capitol Square building at Bank and Queen streets was beginning to wonder Wednesday night what had happened to the movie.

An embarrassed theatre official walked to the front to explain the difficulty: "The scanner has jammed on the automatic equipment." He said he guessed automation hadn't yet reached perfection, and promised that further delay would be short It was. Within minutes the lights were dimmed and the opening scenes of The Rowdyman, the first feature film ever made in Newfoundland, were flashing on the screen.

I nv Vtr 1 1 It A Joseph Morgenstern, Newsweek AUDDIN DRIVE-IN 2a cfP SASKATOON (CP) The director of a Toronto childrens' theatre last week criticized senior levels of government for not giving enough financial support to professional theatre for young people. Susan Rubes of the Young Peoples' Theatre also criticized the federal government's criteria for supporting children's theatre groups through federal programs, the Local Initiatives Program and Opportunities For Youth. "We need federal and provincial assistance." said Mrs. Rubes, a former actress in New York api Hollywood.

cized festival programming. "If this is the best programming Theatre Canada can do, then we will stay in Halifax," director Ray Pierre said after his company presented Bury the Dead, a commentary on the futility of war in which six dead soldiers refuse to be buried. Speaking at a conference of animateurs formerly adjudicators when the week-long event was the Dominion Drama Festival Mr. Pierce said auditorium lighting crews were co-operative but inadequate to the task of achieving proper lighting effects. A performance by the Dei Gelosie Compania of St.

Catharines, earned the five-member troupe a standing ovation from an audience that filled less than half the auditorium. Their two hours of madcap improvisations based on 16th-century-style theatre brought them rounds of to ask good people to exist in absolute poverty." Speaking during a panel discussion at the Theatre Canada Festival, Mrs. Rubes said money now is given on a "harum-scarum" basis to professional groups. While Ottawa looks at a group's ability before giving money under grant programs like the Canada Council, Mrs. Rubes said there's a different basis used when money is given through LIP and OFY to assist amateur groups who will present children's theatre.

"Whether it's good, bad or indifferent not the question." She said these groups are damaging the quality of production built up by professional troupes. "They're doing a great deal of damage to people who work to bring professional quality, and they're winning in getting money over professional groups."
