But this year it had an additionâ€" al special ingredient â€" Martini and Underhill. Paul Martini and Barbara Underhill, 1984 (World pair gold medalists and fiveâ€" time Canadian national champions, were not a disappointment to fans who crowded the Kitâ€" chener Aud. all last week. In each of their scheduled perforâ€" mances they skated powerfully and harâ€" moniously. In the performance the Artist and the Alien with the husbandâ€"wife team Terry and Gisela Head, he was the hilarâ€" ious one while she proâ€" vided the straight foil. Terry is fantastic and would even be funny without his skates beâ€" cause of his contagious l&4ugh. Even his wife ‘~couldnm‘t keep from Ron Shaver, a Camâ€" bridge native, also skated superbly. A former Canadian naâ€" tional champion and gold medalist in the 1981 World Professionâ€" al Figure Skating Championships in Spain, the now bearded Shaver was smooth and graceful, even during his incredible leaps. He‘s a skater who makes it look so easy. Besides the serious skating, the crowd also enjoyed the humorous skating of such artists as Bob Mac, Bob Mosâ€" kalyk, Julie Patterson, Terry and Gisela Head and Brad Doud. Brad Doud and the Bodacious Beauties submitted a cute perâ€" form a nce. T he women‘s costumes, which were ballroom gowns, were great. The twist to the perforâ€" mance was a man dressed up as one of the women and Doud disâ€" covers this. Ice Capades succeeds by putting best foot forward Murray McLauchian laughing. His second performance, A Roaâ€" min‘ Warrior, was also good. He played a stumbling, bumbling roman, but never fell. Head succeeded in getâ€" ting the crowd going and had a great time himself. Off Guard was an hilarious performance where Bob Moskalyk and Julie Patterson began to perform a serious routine when none other than the veteran Bob Mac, as a security guard, sucâ€" ceeded in disrupting it. The three performed hilarious tricks while Moskalyk and Patterâ€" son feighed a more serious approach. All three performers are Canadian. Another highlight of the evening was the Smurfs adventure: The Smurf that Learns to Fly. Besides its regular cast, a new addition was introduced â€" Baby Smurf. Of course, Garâ€" gamel, the evil wizard couldn‘t resist in wantâ€" ing to see how Baby Smurf was as an appeâ€" tizer. The adventure was introduced â€" Baby â€" and fantastic skating.

Friday‘s UW Humanities Theaâ€" tre crowd was quick to learn McLauchian‘s thoughts and more ‘"Hell, I‘ve been to Richard Hatfield‘s house. Me and the boys used to sit around and drink beer talkin‘ about Malcolm Bricklin. Hatfield‘s a great guy. God, I just can‘t believe what they‘re doing to him right now," said Murray McLauchian. Coral Andrews Chronicle Special McLauchlan has many unsung, Gisela and Terry Head was cute, cheerful and interesting. The cosâ€" tumes and set were believable to the chilâ€" dren. Another adventure was the Sea Nymph and the Prince. The props and costumes were typical Ice Caâ€" pades â€" great. The adâ€" venture included magic, entertainment and fantastic skating. Karyl Kawaichi, who performed as the Sea Nymph and the Prinâ€" cess, skated a beautiful solo as the Sea Nymph. He‘s 35 now, clad in traditional denim and suede garb, sporting a chic Toronto fedora, and 16 years ‘on the road‘ from Whitehorse to St. Johns and back again. His songs or "short morality plays" bursting with streetâ€"wise sonnets and heritage of the Canadian mosaic, are informative, provocaâ€" tive and whimsical as ever. than one pair of hands applauded widespread approval. o McLauchlan in the spotlight lends a lived in ‘living room‘ essence.
