Speaking of parties, last Friday
night’s Arts Club Benefit couldn’t
have been better organized or
presented! This was the cham-
pagne cocktail party, gala dinner
and preview performance of Les
Miserables at the Queen Elizabeth
Theatre.

It was organized by the Arts
Club's artistic director Bill Milierd
of West Van and his special events
person, David Harrison.

The dinner for 355 was held on
the QET plaza in a huge white
and red striped tent, to which they
added blue bunting to represent
the French Tri-Color.

There were flowers and trees

Van Florists and others, thanks to
the genius of designer Ted
Roberts, who had also ordered up
a welcome breeze. Restaurant
owner Audrey Skalbania could
take kudos for the four-course
dinner, which was set upon crisp
white linen table cloths, con-
trasting nicely with the red, white
and blue bouquets of flowers.

Audrey’s chef James Bowen
created an excellent menu

and blue edible flowers, a confit

ENERGY-SAVING FRIDGE

Art Club’s board member Ed
Walter was the emcee and,
unbeknownst to him, on the
readograph sign, out in front of
the theatre, was a message from
ail his friends wishing him a hap-
py 50th birthday!...

Then we went into the theatre!
Les Miz is a giant spectacle of
sound and color interwoven with a
tender love story. The singing and
acting are uniformly excellent. I
particularly like Insp. Javert, the
so-called villain of the piece,
because I could understand every
word he sang!

And Graeme Campbell was
wonderfully hammy in a comic
role.

On Wednesday night, Ed Mir-
vish and company arrived in town
along with his wife, Anne, and his
personal PR man, Gino Emprey,
to host the official red-carpeted
opening cf Les Miz, and to host a
reception and sit-down dinner for
550 guests at the Hotel Vancouver
after the show...

standing ovation.

Watching the long and spon-
taneous standing ovation, from
black-tie guests like the Hon.
John Reynolds and silk-clad wife,
Yvonne, the Hon. Cliff Michael,
Mel Cooper and the rest of the
sold-out house, proved that Ed
Mirvish has a box office hit on his
capable hands!...

That was the same night as the
opening of Benson & Hedges 1990
Symphony of Fire, the first time
that the international fireworks
competition has been held in Van-
couver.

Wednesday night was Pyro-
Spectacular Canada Ltd. and they
accompanied the dazzling display
with music from the score of Les
Miz. Italy did their splendiferous
spectaculars last night.

Spain is up next on Aug. f.
Then on Aug. 6, the three coun-
tries combine to provide a show
of incredible pyrotechnics.

It’s taking place in the skies
over English Bay with moi and the
other six judges, including the
Hon, Grace McCarthy and B.C.
Pav Corp boss, Mike Horsey, sit-
ting high atop the English Bay
Bathhouse. It was an incredibly
busy night!...
