Patrick Crean whipped his epee
through the air, and the sound it
made was a dramatic whoossshhhh.
"That establishes you immediately
onstage," said the handsome fencing
master and actor at Ontario's Strat-
ford Festival Theatre, "if you can
make swishes -- the audience loves
swishes."
Crean's undisguised enthusiasm
contradicted the stately British dig-
nity of his appearance as he describ-
ed his recent dramatic ventures, in-
cluding the direction of fight scenes
in tonight's Guest Artist Series' pro-
duction of Cyrano de Bergerac.
He spoke to interested students and
faculty at both the Power Center and
the Union in recent weeks.
His profession, specifically, is to
keep dramatic scenes dramatic - like
when Hamlet battles Claudius in the
final scene of Hamlet, or when Mer-
cutio falls in Romeo and Juliet.
But Crean's triumphs are not al-
ways moments of high drama. He
cited scenes he has staged from "The
Three Musketeers" in which actors
"jump tables, cut candles in two,
throw cheeses and break bottles."
More recently, he even did a Seven-
Up commercial, using his extensive
fences
with
experience to plan the
between the Seven-Up
the "Cola Men."
confrontation
people and
Crean is quick to differentiate be-
tween dramatic fencing and competi-
tive fencing.
"The main thing about competi-
tive fencing is being an athlete,"
says Crean.
Because Crean's . desired goal is
dramatic effect rather than an exhibi-
tion of athletic prowess, the move-
ments are "broader, more control-
led."
"It's the acting that's important,
not being a good fencer," says Crean.
Control is the key word; and Crean
compared his efforts to choreogra-
phy.
"It's like a play," says Crean,
"there are first moves, then counter-
moves, and so on. It's all done on
paper - even the part where the
chickens get dumped, if that hap-
pens.
"It's never the same as the script,
but we like to stick to the script as
much as possible," he added.
But Crean and his actors apparent-
ly don't let the script get in the way
of the ham instinct in each of them.
Crean demonstrated a few different
techniques, grimacing appropriately
with each feigned wound.
As well as "swishes," there are
"opera stabs," where Crean winces
painfully as his opponent runs his
sword under Crean's armpit, and the
"Late Night Movie Clinch," where
two actors are brought face-to-face
s tyle
with their swords locked at the base
of their blades.
Even swashbuckling, however, has
its limits. Crean confessed in a mo-
ment of weakness, "What I'd really
love to do is stage a custard pie

When the American Film.
Theater (AFT) begins its se-
cond season at the Fox Village
this January, University stu-
dents will be the happy bene-I
factors of thetprogram'sbre-
vamped scheduling and improv-
ed ticket handling.
Following last year's programa
of eight films, the AFT cut
down to five, because, accord-
ing to Ann Guerin of the film
group's public relations depart-
ment, "College students missed
some productions last year and!
were reluctant to buy subscrip-
tions for the entire program. It ,
covered too much time."
Lack of college enthusiasm
was the AFT's major disap-,
pointment of last year, but with
a shorter schedule that srans
only one semester and a spec-
ial $10 subscription rate for all
matinee performances, the AFT

MILAN, Italy (UPI) - Trying
to pull a fast one on art experts,
two men punched holes in a
stolen painting by Italian artist
Lucio Fontana-a painter known
for his use of holes and tears in
his canvases. dw
The men added two more
holes to the canvas, which was
stolen last December from a
private collection, in order to
camouflage it from art experts
and pass it off for sale as an
undiscovered work of the artist,
who died several years ago.
Thebappraiser to whom the
men brought the painting was
not fooled, and police charged
the two men with receiving
stolen goods.
