Tourism Minister Pat ’

Jordan recently thanked the
“hundreds of British Colum-
bians who responded so fan-
tastically to a tourism min-
istry’s appeal for assistance in
pinpointing possible locations
for the shooting of two feature
films in the province,’”

In early April, the min-
istry issued a news release,
which was carried by most
B.C. newspapers, asking the
public if they knew of the
existence of:

— amansion, on a large

~ interior lake, surrounded by
deciduous trees, having a
large, front porch with a
second-floor balcony and with
a turn-of-the-century design;
and ?

—_a large, character
house, having water frontage,
in a wealthy neighborhood
with expansive lawns, and lo-
cated on the Lower Mainland
or Vancouver Island.

The ministry's film
Promotion office was flooded
with calls, following publi-
cation of the appeal, and
some 200 locations were ex-
amined by the office,

Receives more

than last year

Some 223,000 U.S. resi-
dents visited B.C. in April —
a 17.3-per-cent increase over
the same month fast year,
according to Tourism Minis-
ter Pat Jordan.

The ministry’s figures
showed a decease in visitors
from overseas — 17,200 trav-
ellers, down 3.2 per cent — in
April, but the cumulative total
— 50,800 — for the first four
months was still 5.2 per cent
higher than the same period
in 1979,

Rogers Pass traffic —
passengers in Canadian and
foreign automobiles and
buses leaving Glacier Nation-
al Park in a westerly direction
— totalled 90,600 in April, up
18.1 per cent, with the cumu-
lative total for the four-month
period at 198,200, or 15.7 per
cent more than last year.

The 10-member com-

form in Trail at the Trail
Junior Auditorium on the
evening of Aug. 27.

+. “Absurd is a anthology;

comprised of The Sandbox
and Zoo Story, by Edward
Albee, and of five shorter
scenes from the play Tests,
by British playwright Paul
Ableman.

Mr. Ableman, through
his high paced dialogue, jux-
daposes reality and surreal-
ism in a most delightful
‘manner, which in contrast,
Mr. Albee uses the style of
classic Greek tragedy in ad-
dressirg himself to contem-
porary social problems, :

Although laden with in-
tense intellectual values,
“Absurd” remains entertain-
ing for event he first time
play-goer, due in part to the
extensive and unified use of
lighting and sound effects.

The producers. would
like to suggest, however,
that some scenes may not be
suitable for young children.
