No more of that for HOPES FOR FILM SCHOOL In her hopes is the establishment of a film school run under Ontario Art College auspices where camera men and technicians would be trained along with directors and writers somewhat like they were in the early days of CBC drama. "Unless theatre is multimedia, its' dead. Film is the art form right now" because it can relate more than theatre. Look what's happening to theatre now. Oh! Calcutta! People aren't really enjoying it.

"People must be trained properly to serve an apprenticeship before they should be allowed to make a movie or get money from the government to do so." Film-making in Canada currently, she contended, is in the hands of amateurs, except for directors like Till. "When you go to a Canadian movie, it bores the pants off you. The director might as well go to the theatre himself and play before a live audience." In conversation, looks and performance these days, she is sizzling. Oh Collins!

AMPLE FREE PARKING ACCORDIONIST JOSEPH MACEROLLO to perform with Jeunesses 'Musicales ENTERTAINMENT NIGHTLY "Until Wojeck, I'd been lucky," she remarked. Working as a Simpson catalogue copy writer, she found parts in amateur plays in Toronto and gradually got to a CBC audition which led to a hive of small roles. Then Wojeck. Then nothing, "maybfe because CBC considered I had case of overexposure." Last year, for no overt reason, producers found her again. In late 1969, she appeared in the Hart House production of Mourning Becomes Electra, led to a season at the St.

Lawrence Arts Centre in Man Inc. and Faust, which took her to roles in Al Wax-man's movie, The Crowd Inside and more currently to Eric Till's movie A Fan's Notes. ROLES DOUBLED UP Roles came so quickly they doubled up, rehearsals for Oh Coward! and a CBC play. Wife and Man, to be shown in two weeks, the revue at night, and the Till movie during the day. "Near the end of all that, it was pill time, vitamins and bemanol.

was putting in 18 working hours a day. It was quite a lot. Just in the past few weeks, I've been able to catch up on my sleep. "The revue is no indication, though, that I'll be working next year. It makes no difference to directors what I'm doing at the Dell.

The management and I are aware of only two people who cast who've been, in to see us casting director Pam Barney and Eric Till. "I'm not pushy enough to call directors and tell them to come and see the show. Surely they know we've passed our 300th performance. Surely they read reviews and notices of the show in the newspapers." Her contract keeps her at the Dell with the Coward show until April 17, and after that -she'd like to go on tour with the show, "in the U.S. and I make that point strong AUDITIONS will be held for DAILY LUNCHEON' SPECIALS MONDAY TO FRIDAY I Have You winner r-rt the Arsenic and Old Lace Cast and Crew at Paget Hall, 218 7 Ave.

S.E. Sunday, February 28, at 7:30 p.m. Monday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m. WORKSHOP THEATRE Read JOHN of What happens when a professional killer violates Get Carter! 5 ACADEMY AWARD NOMINATIONS INCLUDING PICTURE SUPPORTING ACTRESS DIRECTOR By Sid Adilmon Telegram News Servicel TORONTO For two years, Canadian television viewers Patricia lins playfully roll on the floor with Dr. Steve Wojeck, snuggle up to him, kiss him, and ask where he was going the token CBC wife.

"Pat Collins is a dynamo," a CBC drama producer confided to a reporter at the time the series was garnering rave reviews. "She's a fait, tastic woman." After Wojeck, John Vernon went to Hollywood followed by director George McCowan and actresses Sharon Acker and Jennifer Leak, who had appeared in guest roles. But the "Dynamo" elected to stay home and found only six days work as an actress1 in the 18 months that followed Wojeck's end, and that as a gangster's moll on a children's show. "Mrs. Wojeck was a bit of celluloid," she admitted last week.

"She was just a gatepost, someone to offer him comfort. I wouldn't do anything like that again. I was more easily pleased then, mueh more placid. MORE DEMANDING "I've toughened up a lot in the past year. Now I'm more demanding because I've been given more opportunity to show what I can do and because I've been given more responsibility aristically." She was talking chiefly about Oh Coward! the hit revue at Theatre-in-The Dell, in which she has starred for nearly five months.

Portraying various Coward women, she is ripe like a good cheese, juicy like a pear that's just been picked from a tree, saucy like a tart, and sexily-sophisticate-along avenues never imagined by aloof and icy Mrs. Wojeck. Her singing voice is not trained, it is more taunting whisper of melancholia. Above all. she is languid.

For a Canadian actress on a Toronto stage to be languid is a once-in-a-decade event. The "Dvnamo" is letting loose. SPEAKS OUT STRONGLY In her rVnted north-Toronto two-storey house the other day, wearing tightfitting jeans and a loose sheepskin vest, she was positively languid, nothing put on for the visitor. But she was speaking out strongly hardly a Coward thing to do. "I don't think I'll ever allow myself to be manipulated badly again.

You get a reputation for being easy to wock with. I probably won't be again. There seems to be a death wish on the part of directors in Canada, on the part of all the arts. "Look at Wojeck. I could never find out why we couldn't have had a good argument once in a while.

"Look at The Whiteoaks of Jalna. I'd love to be in it. I'm probably the only Canadian acrtess who can ride horses. I ride them well, but others are hired and 'r being trained to ride in less than two weeks. You can't learn that quickly.

"What annoys me most of all is that performers aren't recognized. I don't mean by the public. I mean by those offering scripts that recognize a performer's ability." Then came the cruncher, a line from left field. "I don't want to look attractive all the time; I'd like to play a part someday without make-up, something dirty no, no I don't mean obscene, something dirty but interesting." CAME FROM ENGLAND At 33, the wife of artist Robert Mitchell who is attached to the Ontario Art College and the mother of a fiv-old son, she was reared in Newcastle-on-Tyne. There, she participated in amateur drama and came to Canada after her father retired from the British Army 14 years ago.
