But Corey Hart has made the musical transition in a year's time from an opening act pacifier for a stale April Wine to packing the Olympic monolith to its rafters Saturday night with adoring fans. Any lingering woes of Springsteen not hitting Calgary on his next concert swing dissolved in a vale of banshee screams the second Hart hit the stage with his high-power delivery of tunes from his second album, Boy In A Box. It was classic, hard-rocking good times that Hart handed the audience, who were mostly young women taken to wailing and waving "I love Corey" placards. The Montreal-born singer even delivered the Springsteen touch by hauling a girl up on stage to dance to a jazzed-up version of Jailhouse Rock.

Too bad the sound in the Saddledome prevented most of the lyrics from being heard. Hart obviously remembers his gig in Calgary last summer in the sweltering Corral, playing half-a-dozen songs from his debut album First Offense to barn-like acoustics. Last night's venue was bigger and flashier, but Hart's voice was often swallowed by the reverberating bass of Russell Boswell. Not that anybody noticed. By the time Hart's five-man band sent rib-jolting Shockwaves through the 'Dome with the opening chords of Komrade Kiev, the ecstatic crowd was in the palm of his hand.

"It's sure fantastic to come back and do my own show," he told them a few songs into the set. The band didn't venture many new tunes, but did delight the audience with a version of Smokey Robinson's My Girl although most of the fans probably weren't even born when the Miracles first laid down the track. But it was Corey they had come to see. Even Calgary alderman Don Hartman could be spotted in the audience tapping his toes to Komrade Kiev. The heat near the front of the stage was intense and security guards tossed wet towels to the sea of waving arms.

About two dozen heat-stricken girls had to be rescued by a burly bouncer at the front of the mob, who transported them to waiting medical personnel. Most of them, however, still had the strength to blow Corey a kiss or reach for his outstretched hand. Spirits remained high during the hour-long wait for Hart and even the traditional Bic lighters a usually reliable indication of the age of the fans were dug out and waved in time to the music videos which were in lieu of an opening act. It's easy to see the effect of a year's passing on Hart's music. It's a more mature sound, evolving from the pogo-like rhythm of Sunglasses At Night, his first smash hit, to a new sophistication.

With a little perseverance you can get things done, he sings in Never Surrender, a ditty which has practically smothered other tunes off his album on every AM-radio station in town. Corey has persevered, despite an unwanted teen-idol image and inevitable comparisons to Vancouver chart-topper Bryan Adams. Softer songs like Eurasian Eyes, although the words were lost in the heavy air at the 'Dome, will be what wins Hart and his band a berth in the popular music being heard by the "older" generation.

Sunday "A multicultural musical event" August 13, 14 and 16 17 Bv (iuiscppe Verdi Libretto bv Arriijo Bono (alter ilium Nhjkc.rH.are) F.ngltsh translation by Andrew Porter Conducted by Steuart Bedford Directed by Colin Graham Designed by Neil Peter Jampolis OTTAWA (CP) The time-worn theme of clashing genera-, tions is trotted out yet again in the play Why Not Stay For Breakfast? as a fussy old civil servant finds a pregnant young punker giving birth in his apartment. But although the outcome of the play, which runs until Aug. 10 at the National Arts Centre, is entirely predictable, it's still a light, amusing comedy for the summer. Ian Lavender plays the ministry of pensions civil servant George Clarke, a fussy, particular character similar to Tony Randall's portrayal of Felix Unger on the TV series The Odd Couple. The white-haired, 39-year-old George, who even physically resembles Randall, has his life down to a boring routine: bridge every Tuesday, dinner with his hypochondriac sister every Wednesday and cocoa before bed in his snug Victorian-syle apartment in Hampstead, England.

But his meticulous routine is shattered one evening when, after overhearing a fight between the punks who inhabit the upstairs apartment, a very pregnant Louise Hamilton, wearing purple tights, wild makeup and a maternity frock, knocks on his door and moves right in. Being the true British gentleman, he offers her a drink be fore even asking what she's doing there. Louise, played by Amanda Bairstow, is appalled at the "phony world" George has built for himself and can't understand why he puts up with his complaining sister, who phones with regularity at 9 o'clock each night. For his part, George is completely bewildered by her unconcern for the whereabouts of the baby's father or where she'll spend the next night. When she asks for some money, she gets a lecture on responsibility.

"I don't understand all the fuss about giving birth," she says, flopping on the couch. "It'll be just like shelling peas." But after they share the experience of giving birth, with George having as many labor pains as Louise, they gradually begin to take steps in the other's directions. George starts swearing and takes the first moming off from work in 18 years while Louise finds she'd rather stay with the baby than smoke dope with the punks upstairs. The general plot is not new author Ray Cooney has had countless models to work from. But the play is nevertheless enjoyable because of strong performances by Bairstow, who has recently completed a United Kingdom tour of Breakfast, and Lavender, who can fold diapers and wipe ashtrays with as much skill as Randall.
