LUMBER WORKER

IWA Tenor

Joe Donati

_ “TIMBER”

Presentation of a “Paul Bunyan” axe by IWA Officials
to the cast of “Timber!!” will symbolize the Labor which
has built this industry. The premiere performance of this
first all-Canadian musical opens in Stanley Park’s Malkin
Bowl, June 23, and will feature the talented young tenor
Joe Donati, popular member of Local 1-217, IWA.

“Timber!” is Vancouver’s own
musical comedy! Not only is it
100% Canadian in writing, direc-
tion, and talent, but it is 100%
British Columbia in theme.
“Timber!!” glorifies the great
logging industry of B.C. as it
unwinds its pact moving and

eppy story of the loggers com-
tir into town for a holiday, the
adventures, romances, and trou-
bles they encounter and the pco-
ple they meet,

It tells the story of handsome
young Dan, the high-rigger who
meets Marjory, daughter of J. B.
Manson the millionaire lumber
typeoon, how they do not under-
stand each other at first, and
finally fall in love, after the op-
position of her father has been
cleared up, by revealing that he,
too, was a high-rigger when he
Was young, and really does un-
derstand the problems of his men,
much better than anyone thinks.

Love Story

There are 14 original songs in
“Timber!!", love songs, rousing
songs for the male chorus,
comedy songs, torch songs, and
blues songs, sung by Vancouver’s
most popular entertainers, in-
eludin; Barney Potts, Thora An-
ders, ESTES McAllister, the
chorus of 80, and the many other
principals in the show.

Aida Broadbent, famed Holly-
wood choreographer, who has
come directly to Vancouver to
devise dances for “Timber!”, has
created four original ballets,
“The Street Corner Ballet”, the
“Stanley Park” ballet, a stylized
% re Dance”, and a dream

jet in a fashionable dress shop,

himself, and now controls much

show.

Fine Comedy

Such, well-known Vancouver
popular entertainers as Barney
Potts, Thora Anders and Lor-
raine McAllister will again have
leading roles, they have long been
favorites of Theatre Under the
Stars audiences for their fine
comedy and singing perform-
ances. Barney plays the part of
the Camp Cook, who is always
too busy to find romance; Lor-
raine is the cigarette girl at the
club the loggers frequent on
their visits to Vancouver; and
Thora is the gal who loves our
hero, but does NOT get him!
