Writer -director Dalton Trumbo, 63, was praised by the federation for "the power and sobriety of his presentation, the originality of the script, the political and human sense of the creation The jury of the International Catholic Office of the Cinema awarded its annual prize to the Hungarian film Amour by Karoly Mak which concerned respect of the elderly. The Grand Prix of the Cannes Film Festival was given to Joseph Losey's The Go-Bctween, the sensitive story of an English family at the time of the Boer War. The film was the British entry. It stars Julie Christie and Alan Bates.

The film beat out Death in Venice, the Italian entry, directed by Lucino By JAMES BARBER Five actors, a bare floor, a cape and a few lights. A first class script, poetic and perceptive was born a beast and was turned into a beautiful princess. Some day a handsome prince will kiss me and I will turn into a beast again An understanding director, and a loose, open, receptive audience. That's theatre. That's when it happens, and that's when I decide that maybe movies are not going to take over after all.

Wednesday at midnight, in the Arts Club Theatre, the Summer 71 Festival Stage opened with all of those tilings, in a two-hour piece of fascination called Dracula Two. It is a real mind-blower, a devil's food layer cake. Superstition, fact and fantasy are buttered with reality and stuffed with darkness, with devils, with warlocks, with vampires and "the shy gentlemen standing under the trees opening their raincoats." It is not the Bram Stoker Dracula of countless late night movies. Dracula Two is a play developed by the Stable Theatre Company of Manchester, England, a play which, while it uses certain elements and incidents from the Tran-sylvanian epic, uses them only as a base from which to examine the Dracula con- formance, was the solid Scottish singer Johnny Forrest. (It is almost redundant to add that he brought down the house with a sing-along version of Roamin' in the Gloamin'.) A relative newcomer to the group was Angus Walker of Newfoundland, who was introduced as something of a prodigy.

Alas, his flat and matter-of-fact style left the audience lukewarm, despite his well-polished appearance and easy manner. Giles Roy, another touring newcomer from Ontario, gave remarkably athletic tap dancing performances that had more success enthusiastic cheers and applause. He was sparked by some of the nervousness of a novice, despite winning national and international dancing medals. It mav, in fact, prove a point. Polish isn't everything or, a little stage frig it goas a long way.

Au rcvoir, Don Messer and amen. cept, the unnamed fear on all our shoulders. A beautiful, fascinating evening, deceptive and memorable. It is "poor'' theatre, which means theatre of the imagination and not of money, a theatre of actors being actors, creating out of nothing an illusion of something. And out of the illusion comes the indestructible, the things you cannot define, cannot forget and do not want to remember.

Mass and individual insanity, the triumph of un reason, the power of fear, and the final, inevitable sterile whimper of the world's passing they are all a prelude to the rebirth of evil. But if the evil is necessary to the good, then is it evil? Dracula Two is so much easier than reading de Sade, so much more relevant and objective. Knowledge of the end. Ignorance of the end. Both are equally frightening.

Health and sickness, good and evil, the flesh and the spirit which is the reality? And is there a reality? The script is poetry, extravagant, volatile switchings from nursery rhymes to social customs, from exorcisms to Freud. It has moments of apparent weakness when things appear to not be working and that is what I mean by deceptive, for just as soon as the audience is lulled into the false security of "oh yes, here we are in the theatre again" the script picks it up, elaborates upon it, sometimes repeats it in a different form. There you are sitting on the cde of your seat again at one and the same time the subject of and the perpetrator of exorcism. Summer Festival 71 has a four-play season planned. Dracula Two runs through to June 5, followed by James Baldwin's Blues for Mr.

Charlie, June to 19. June company opens Fairy Tales ork, J. P. Donlcavy's "chain 0i pearls, nourished by a master of comic dialogue," as Kenneth Tynan described it. Finally, July 9 to 17, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a dramatization of Ken Kcscy's novel.

Individual tickets are $2 (students SI. 25), and season tickets for the four plays are S6 (students S3. 75). By OLIVIA WARD "The critics hate me," said Don Messer, "but the people buy the tickets." In the backstage glare of the Queen Elizabeth Theatre the familiar melancholy face looked paler, more tired than under the pink stage lights. It was intermission, and Don Messer, veteran of some 40 years of down home music was waiting to wind up another Jubilee performance.

"I like doing live stuff, but this will definitely be my last tour." After three years of rigorous TV schedules (taping as many as 26 shows a month) Messer and his group are paying the toll of public longevity. The audiences are there eager, keen, clapping and slapping with the fiddles but something is missing. You could be contemporary and call it soul, or follow the train of the elderly lady who hobbled out at half time brandishing her cane: "It's too loud, and not bright enough." Most of the almost capacity audience, however, felt the opposite. They had come for a good time, and a good time they had. They also knew what to expect, and left undaunted.

The program ran the gamut of Messer standbys, both people and songs. Marg Osborne delivered a hefty, full-bodied Snowbird with solid country and western backing. Alter the warmup, the bluesy, back-alley song, Help Me Through the Night, as sung with gusto, and eyes flashing with wholesome vigor. Charlie Chamberlain added Dixie to the routine with A Little Loving Goes a Long Way, and ran through an unabashedly sentimental When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. But the audience favorite of the evening, as much for appearance as per- DON MESSER farewell from the Nova Scotian.

World chess match Windigo Taimanov rallies Indian prisoners show how thev look at life decide a challenger for world champion Boris Spassky of Russia. The title match is to he played in Moscow next year. In the only other game played Thursday, grandmaster Wolfgang Uhlmann of East Germany defeated Bent Larsen of Denmark in their eighth game in Las Palmas, Canary Islands. The win gave the East German 4'-i points to Larsen's 3H. The ninth came is to be played Sunday.

stiffly regimented, formalized and expensive tradition of beginning and end plays. It is not the only solution, but when an audience, seated on the floor of a high school gymnasium and watching twelve men (with a few props borrowed from the Playhouse and the Opera) can suddenly have a situation expanded for them, beyond the statistics and the superstitions, there is no denying that it is theatre. Finian's Rainbow By PAUL RAUGUST Mark Taimanov of the U.S.S.R. and Bobby Fischer of Brooklyn, N.Y., adjourned the fifth round in their world chess championship elimination match here Thursday night. Adjournment came on the 41st move after the five-hour time limit expired.

The two grandmasters have yet to complete a game on the day it started. Taimanov, who has lost four games straight to Fischer, played his strongest game of the series with a Grucnfelder Opening, maintaining the initiative of white throughout the game. But at adjournment, the game appeared headed for a draw. Fischer was holding a one-pawn advantage, but it didn't seem likely that he would be able to hold the advantage for long. Taimanov held a positional edge throughout, and, although it appeared at one stage that Fischer might trap white's queen, the Soviet grandmaster deftly evaded the tactic.

In the late stages of the game, Fischer appeared indecisive as he jockeyed his king from Kl to Bl. In effect this was a wasted move and it allowed Taimanov to strengthen his hand. Because of a religious holiday, Fischer has asked that game six be postponed until Tuesday. Musical a bit shopworn Noon concert Gentle folk singer left no memorable after-image By JAMES BARBER Windigo opened last night at Abbots-ford Senior High School, a semi-documentary, dramatic poem by Cam Hubert, performed by the United Native Club Players, which is a group of actors formed from the residents of Matsqui. The Matsqui Correctional Institute to be precise.

The cast is Indian, and each member of it introduces himself with his name, with his number, with his nation of origin Cree, Salish, Shushwap, Blackfoot and with his sentence fifteen years, five and a half years, life. I had decided before going that I was going to ignore the unusual aspects of the production, that I would treat it like any other piece of theatre the same standards, no concessions. Which is stupid, and prejudiced. Windigo is a frankly naive, emotional collection of personal statements made by a collection of unique victims of an alien culture, and any attempt to deny them that dignity is only to perpetuate the sins hich Windigo categorizes. It is a moving evening, very simple, very direct.

How many people ever have the chance to sit down and listen to Indians, or to prisoners? It is a strange shock to realize that these men, products and victims of our society's conflict with their culture, are men familiar with the forest and the water, that they have a heritage of memories based on the Old Way of Life. They tell stories of their own lives, small and gentle anecdotes of dry, self-deprecating humor, and they tell fearful stories of prejudice and lack of privilege. But their imagery is always rooted in the simple things they appear as simple men, as big men, men who know the color of winter. It is an effective evening, in that it shows, unmistakably, another direction the theatre can take away from the miiiti: Taimnmtv P-OI most successful amateur musical production to sound off in Metro for some time. The singing ranges from bearable to thoroughly enjoyable.

Phillipa Purchase (Sharon) comes through extremely well if perhaps occasionally a bit mechanical with her numbers, such as How-Are Things in Glocca Morra (and who isn't going to. enjoy that and so does Ken Irwin with his more than sincere delivery of Old Devil Moon. When the pair are together, they earn most of the applause that even a family-and-friend audience provides. Tom Byrne as Finian might have been a bit looser, a bit zippier, but he was certainly adequate and made particularly effective the running current of Irish double-reverse humor that fuels much of the show. Two performers, for me, were outstanding.

Young Mike Fox, who is growing immensely in theatre, was quite superb in his part as a southern senator. His moments in the mansion scene could hardly have been improved upon- And Marek Norman as the Leprechaun Og is just a constant vibrancc on stage. He also sings remarkably well When I'm Not Near The Girl I Love. By DON HUNTER Finian's Rainbow undoubtedly brightened a dreary world's skies in its first days about 25 years ago. Its emphasis and re-emphasis on equality for all men through the black-white-conflict microcosm was good for a continuing of flag waving and uplifting of spirits.

Flavored with an extravagant portion of exaggerated Irish whimsy and wit, and topped by two or three excellent songs, it was a winner all the way. Now it's well worn, and any company electing to produce It is facing a major challenge. Particularly an amateur company, such as the Richmond Musical Theatre which opened with Finian's Thursday at Metro Theatre for a two-weekend run. The fact that they nearly got this difficult vehicle rolling, and that in nearly doing so they displayed some remarkably potent moments, is cause for applause. I think director Sob Ross spent considerable time and thought before finalizing his cast.

And his choices, in the choreography care of Grace MacDonald, come up with a performance that, considering the demands of the show, is probably from many considerations the p-qui N-QB3 R-N3 R-R1 PxN P-Kil Qlt-N'l B-K'J with unfamiliar lunch-munchers and microphones. On Thursday there was an interesting addition to the instrumentation: Ole Yuul on flute. The combination provided some conflicts and some very beautiful moments. Yuul is a fine flutist in his own right, but on occasion the flute, which accompanied every selection, was inappropriate and distracted from Richardson's voice. His best moments came in numbers like the sombre Pretty f'o'ly.

when clean, haunting notes expanded the emotional tone and blended sensitively with the vocal line. If Yuul's flute is used with a little more discretion, or if Richardson becomes more forceful in his overall delivery, the duo could beet a line and innovative blending ol By JEANI READ Scan Richardson sang at the Art Gallery Thursday, presenting an odd little semi-concert that left no memorable after images except the impression of a sincere, unassuming young man. Richardson is so unassuming, in fact, that he never really grabs hold of one's imagination, never really distributes any tangible moods or messages. He is, essentially, a kind of fireplace-pleasant vocalist, a kind of woodsy-pleasant guitarist, a minstrel who should sing not to audiences or admirers but to friends on an afternoon. Almost everything he attempts seems to shift down into a misty neutrality, hummable and sometimes clappablc.
