Chap lin FROM PAGE 3 like a* gypsy who liked to move freely," says James. James' job for Chaplin was to write the music for old su.ent films that Chaplin stili owned. Whe-n the films were originall1y shown, -a pianiat would besitting at the front of the theatre,. in -a pit, playing along with the movie. James says Chaplin later decided to dub bis own music into the film but hé did not know how. to write music. Upon writing the music, James would have to put together an or- chestra, then James and Chaplin would travel to England to record the music. The cycle would then.be repeated when Chaplin was ready to score the music for another of his silent. movies. But James and his wife O'Reilly are entertainers in their own right. Along with lits work for Chaplin, James has'coached various actors in such musicals as 'Fiddler on the Éro"Oliver' and Jayne Mansfield in- 'Too Hot to Handi. ' 1A singer, O'Reilly performed for Queen, Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace in 1977. The two are. now attempting to fmnd venues for their tribute to Charlie Chaplin. "It is hard to suddenly stop. This is, our profession," says O'Reilly who met James 25 years ago. "I didn't think I would ever marry him but the .chemistry worked," says 'Reilly with a smile. James will appear on Channel 19's Saturday* Night at the movies, this Saturday, Jan. 16. During Mis ha if-hour interview with Elwy Yost, James will talk about his relationship with Chaplin while his wife sings a few of Chapin's favorite songs in the background. WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, -JANUARY 13 198 8, PAGE 23 Store owerf is'to have signs remnove d A Whitby coffee shop .owner haq failed ln his attempts to, have "no stopping" signs removed from the street in front of his business. The region's works committee turnied down the request to have the no stopping restrictions lifted on Wentworth St. in Whitby's in- dustrial southend. George Lapoussis, owner of the Coffee Express, appeared before the works committee shortly after the-no stopping signs were erected last November, bearing a petition signed by transport truck drivers who ' frequented Mis business, leaving their rigs on Wentworth St. while stopping for coffee. Lapoussis pointed out that Wentworth was four lanes in front of his"place and trucks parked would not hold up traffic. At that time, staff was asked to prepare a report reviewing the situation. Theé finished ieport,. however, indicated traffic from General Motors runs on a con- tinuous basis over a 16-hour period along that particular stretch of Wentworth, with the heaviest volume being between 6a.m. and il p.m. Close to 6,000 trucks use the road which has been designated the route from the 401,and GM's south plant. The- report, also indicated up to 15,000 trucks are' expected to use Wentworth under GM's just-in-time prodl4ctlon., The report stated transports parking in the curb lane affects the capacity of the road and '"creates a potentiaily dangerous siftation."
