While coming out of the Wailper Hotel from Mother‘s Day brunch, 1 met conductor Victor Sawa. I immediately congratulated Sawa on having his Kâ€"W Symphony Youth Orchestra chosen over six of Canada‘s best youth orchestras to represent our country at the international festival Aug. 35) A 4 1â€"5 in Indianapolis. Since the event is in conjunction with the Panâ€"American Games, South Americans will be representâ€" ed by the youth orchestra of Venezuela and the U.S.A. has selected the youth ensemble from Indianapolis. Victor says the tour will cost about $10,000 to $15,000 and even though many donations are "‘designated"‘ for the youth orchestra, he is concerned about obtaining the proper funds from parent body, Kâ€"W Symphony.

Linda is a hairdresser at Waterloo‘s "House of Elegance" where a special reception for her wedding party was held later in the day. It seems a local senior citizen residence got all caught up in the excitement and planned their own wedding event.

BC 4 *8e Rich Little, the undisputed master of mimicry, comes to Centre In The Square Monday, June 1 for two performances â€" 6: 30 and 9: 30 p.m. His special guests will be the Mercey Brothers, one of the most awarded acts in Canada having won seven Juno Awards, the C.F. Martin Guitar Award and the CCMA‘s "Group of the Year" 1985â€"86. j One of the most popular performers in the entertainment business, Rich Little‘s talents extend far beyond his comedic impressions: he is also a singer, writer and a skilled actor who has starred in numerous roles on the stage, in film and television. Little‘s comedy timing is superb and his impressions are flawless, perfected to the tiniest detail. He captures not only his subjects‘ vocal characteristics, including every nuance from intonation to phrasing, but also many physical features, facial expressions and personal habits. Performing on television shows and stages throughout the world have made Little‘s name a household word. His expertise as an impressionist enables him to use his talents in interesting ways. One of the most unusual assignments he has undertaken over the years has been dubbing the voices for stars who, because of illness, sudden emergency or unavailability, are unable to complete their film or T.V. roles. In the past, Little has impersonated Tony Curtis, David Niven, Peter Sellers and Stacy Keach. During his performances, Little zips through dozens of impersonations selected from his vast repertoire of close to 200 characters. Blending comedy and song, he mimics a number of singers including Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley and Tom Jones. His ‘tributes‘ to legends such as Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Clark Gable and Cary Grant, accompanied by film and slide presentations, are nostalgic moments that draw ovations from the audicence. In television, he starred in his own weekly series, The Rich Little Show, on NBC, and hosted the syndicated series, ‘"You Asked For It." Little has also guest starred in "Hawaii Fiveâ€"O," **Police Woman," ‘"Fantasy Island" and ~"CHIPS," and has often hosted "The Tonight Show .‘ He made his feature film debut in the role of a college professor in "Dirty Tricks" with Elliott Gould. Born and raised in Ottawa, Richard Carruthers Little is one of the three sons of a doctor. He began doing impressions as a school youngster, responding to his teachers‘ questions in their own voices. Teaming with a friend, he earned his first payment as an impressionist at the age of 17. The pair won a talent contest and went on to appear on variety programs throughout Canada. Rich later went solo, becoming a successful disc jockey and talkâ€"show host in Ottawa.

In 1964, his friend, singer Mel Torme, introduced him to Judy Garland and his guest appearances with her introduced him to American audiences. He had a regular role in the comedy series ‘"Love On a Rooftop," "The John Davidson Summer Show," and "The Julie Andrews Show." While Little now lives in Malibu, Calif., he still is very much in the minds and hearts of Canadians, as an entertainer and a favorite son. On the occasion of Ottawa‘s 150th anniversary, he was honored with _ plaque as one of its most famous citizens. In 1983, he received the Maple Leaf Distinguished Arts and Letters Award from the Canadian Club of New York. In that same year, he was given what is perhaps the most cherished honor of his career: the Ottawa Civic Hospital named an expanded nursing facility the Rich Little Special Care Nursery. The new nursery was made possible by funds raised by a benefit concert by Rich and his friend Frank Sinatra. Tickets are still available for the Centre shows at $17.50 and $13.50 at the box office, through BASS and at selected agencies. Rich Little
