Musical Comedy from Canada
""T‘IM-BER!" The cry as a big tree falls in the forest of British Columbia is probably the nearest thing to music heard in a working day in the backwoods. However, loggers in Canada are involved in music of a mote familiar kind in Timber, an all-Canadian musical comedy, to be presented by the international service of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in YA Theatre of Music on Saturday, October 13. The lives arid loves of loggers, combined with bright music are a good basis for a musical comedy, and more interest, is added because of the infrequency with which Canadian broadcasts are heard in New Zealand. Timber was written by three young people from Vancouver; David Savage and Doug Nixon are co-authors of the book and lyrics, and Dolores Claman wrote the musical score. Canadian singers who take part are Juliette, Irene Salemka, Bernard Johnson and Hank Ramer. The orchestration and special arrangements were done by Neil Chotem, who conducts the CBC Montreal Orchestra.
