From what I hear, Canada is the place to caper. Choosing Toronto and Montreal, I boarded my jet and was off to Toronto, the first leg of a "quickie" weekend.

Incidentally, should you decide on this kind of "living it up," I suggest you consult with a travel agent who can advise a saving on your airfare when you purchase a "package tour." A good way to save a buck. A basic package tour is nothing more than a hotel, car rental if needed, and a sightseeing tour lasting no longer than 3 hours. Could be fun.

I recommend the Chelsea Inn Hotel located in downtown Toronto. The rates are pleasantly fair and you may have a suite for as little as $36.00 per day. Your friend would love you for it. Such elegance. If you are going it alone, how about the impression angle?

Where to take a friend...

Ed's Warehouse Restaurant. An excellent place serving only steak or prime rib. Each served in it's own dining room. The decor is Victorian, tired antiques, Tiffany lamps, and fast waiters. I had the palate pleasing prime rib. The piano player lispingly sings songs of nostalgia.

The Unique Firehouse is a knowing landmark of Toronto. This converted Firehouse is a combination theatre and restaurant. Extremely popular and requires reservations. The food is average but the presentation is original in its featuring a group known as the Second City who performs satirical impressions of current events and people.

The bars are open until 1 A.M. and from there it's on to "Bland Bars" No spirits. Open to the wee hours of the morning. This could be a sobering experience for the trickster.

The "Quest" located on Yonge St. offers an almost similar atmosphere to our "620" club. Only it has two floors. Very cruisey and apparently a little clicky. But if you are fated then you will be feted.

At 1 A.M. took a short walk to the Manatee Club. There is an admission charge. Damron's book does not indicate, but they do have go-go boys. It is mostly a young crowd. The place really swings and you should have little difficulty in realizing the law of averages.

Roman Sauna Baths on Bay Street offers as much as any baths would. All ages. Rooms, lockers but no "pleasure bound" area.

Toronto does have some of the most exciting men's boutiques displaying fashions complementing the male form in color and cut. Leather popular.

Montreal...A good place to practice your faltering French. Their vain but stubborn clinging to their origination only helps to make the atmosphere that much more pleasant to the visitor who could find himself stumbling for assistance in finding sights and places. But don't fret, the frustration is fun. I suggest a 3 hour tour of the city. Montreal has an old part (similar to the French Quarter in New Orleans), a modern section and of course, the Expo, "Man and his World!"

Hotels are expensive. Be prepared to spend on the average of $44.00 double. I consider the Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Sherbrooke Ave., the epitome of elegance. If you should not stay there, at least have lunch in the garden. My Fair Laddie would love it. Old World and Parisian ambiance. An extraordinary restaurant in Montreal is known by the title of Festin de Gouvenirs (Feast of Gouvenirs) situated on the island. You are taken back 300 years, partaking in a ceremonial feast of the period accompanied by entertainment. The guests are required to eat with their hands. A good conversation piece for your friends back home. Reservations are necessary. Montreal features a galaxy of restaurants to suit your taste. Paradoxically, one of the most famous restaurants in the world is not French but Chinese. Ruby Foo's. Great food.

The street of dreams, I would single out to be Stanley Street. I enjoyed a kind of an intimate nite club known as "Le Mystique." Features a singer with a definite chic continental flair. There is dancing. The Lorelei, also on Stanley St. caters to a young crowd. A very large place. Visited the Sauna Neptune, near the Queen Elizabeth Hotel and found it huge, with three floors and a basement. They have a swimming pool, whirlpool, workout room, etc. Reminded me of Continental baths; only cleaner. You are required to. become a member, although it is not part of the BC chairn.

Last minute news from a friend, who informs me that the place was raided. Didn't explain why. Seems strange, as I always felt Canada was liberal in thinking.

See you next month from Paris, France

A Technicolored dream that takes on the aspects of a Dali drawing in motion. You've never seen anything quite like it.

Surpasses all other Busby Berkeley musical comedy achievements.

It's colossal, it's stupendous.
