EXHIBIT
OPENS

By CasNews Staff

An exhibition of painting by Castlegar artist Colin
Pryce opened Friday night at the Homestead Soup and
Sandwich Shoppe.

Many of the paintings in the exhibition, part of the
Presentation Series, are on loan from local residents,
while others are from Pryce’s own collection.

The earliest painting is a romantic watercolor scene
done in 1955. The latest is a light-hearted watercolor
called “Laughing Tree.” completed a few months ago.

Pryce is well known in the area. Recently retired
from teaching, he has taken an active part in community
projects such as the Castlegar Multicultural Society, the
Doukhobor Museum, and the Hospice Society.

He taught social studies for 10 years at Stanley
Humphries ‘secondary school and was one of the major
forces behind the opening of the Open Roads alternative
school where he also taught for four years.

Later, he was a teacher in the junior high school and.
at elementary schools in Robson, Woodland Park and
Ootischenia, where he taught mainly art.

Largely a self-taught artist, Pryce has taken some
university-level art courses. He has been painting since a
small child and is currently completing a book of poetry.

The paintings on display at the Homestead reveal
changes in his style to suit the taste of those for whom he
paints.

His style ranges from realism to expressionism and
surrealism to the abstract.

“Symbolism is an important element of many of his
works, frequently backed by his knowledge of natural
history,” says a prepared release issued by the Castlegar
Arts council, which sponsors the Presentation Series.

Most of his painting are in watercolor and ink, but he
occasionally paints in oils and acrylics.

The exhibit runs through Oct. 2.

Fawcett again a victim

By BOB THOMAS
Associated Press

Maybe now, as she approaches her
Hollywood will finally take Farrah Fawcett

40th birthday,
seriously

Ever since she blew in from Texas 18 years ago, the
movie crowd has trashed the actress: “Oh, yeah, she's the
Charlie's Angel with all the hair.” Or, ou mean Lee
Majors’ wife?” Or, “That's her — Ryan O'Neal's girlfriend.”

They reacted wfth glee when she left the Charlie's
Angels TV series and fell on her elegant nose with such films
as Somebody Killed Her Husband and Sunburn.

“I think the turning point came when I did the television
movie, Murder in Texas,” she recently said in an interview
“It was the first time that reviewers took me seriously as an
actress

“Without Murder in Texas, I never would have been
allowed to do The Burning Bed. Without The Burning Bed, |
never would have done Extremities.”

PLAYS SOCIALITE

In 1984's Murder in Texas, she played a Houston
socialite who died under mysterious circumstances. The
Burning Bed was a real-life story of a battered wife who

killed her husband. It won Fawcett an Emmy nomination in
1985,

She is again a in William Mastrosimone's
Extremities. The movie and play are about a woman who is
attacked twice by a sexual psychopath, then overpowers him
and turns the tables.

The film, directed by Robert M. Young and co-starring
Wames Russo, began late last year.

“I simply wasn't my usual fun-loving self,” Fawcett said
about the filming. “I was at odds with just about everyone
because of the nature of the role. It was difficult for me
because of the darkness and the degradation of the story
And I had to face that every day

“Another problem was the tension between me and
Jimmy (Russo). We did the play for three months together
and we had a good relationship, but something happened
during the film. I felt | knew him so well. But I discovered on
the film I didn't know him at all.”

The two actors had strong ideas about how her
character would react and she expressed them forcefully in
script sessions and on the set. She won most of the argu
ments.

vietim

Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, Fawcett came to Holly
wood the old-fashioned way. A publicist saw her photo while
she was a University of Texas student and urged her to try
for a film career

She soon became the star of beauty commercials and
played bit roles while studying drama. Married to actor Lee
Majors in 1973, she was billed as Farrah Fawcett-Majors
when she appeared with Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson as
undercover cops in Charlie's Angels. She left the series for
features and promptly took a nosedive

“It's great to come in as an unknown and make a name
as an actress,” she said. “I did it the other way. I had to grow
as an actress with everyone watching. It was tough, but it
made me stropg of character. I think I can handle anything
now.”

Fawcett has equal enthusiasm for her other role, as
mother of Desmond O'Neal, 18 months.

“He has made my life complete,” she said. “It's funny.
but when you become a parent, everything revolves around
the child Having a baby forces you to be less selfish.”

Expo hurts off-site night life

By GWEN DAMBROFSKY
Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — Far from being a boon to Vancouver's
entertainment industry, Expo 86 has emerged as an event to
be survived, say many cultural organizations in the city.

On-site activities are so wide-ranging — restaurants,
nightclubs, the World Festival, the Expo.Theatre variety
series and free performances at every corner — that there
has been little spillover of tourists looking for entertainment
in the city

“What's worse is that our Vancouver audiences are
spending their money at Expo as well,” says Pam Haw
thorne, chairman of the 15-member Vancouver Theatre
Alliance.

Earlier this summer, the Vancouver Playhouse closed
its production of Noises Off two weeks early because
attendance averaged only 30 per cent of capacity. The
theatre's next production, A Chorus Line, drew even smaller
audiences.

WAS PREPARED

Bill Millerd, artistic director of the Arts Club Theatre,
was prepared for the worst.

“I felt it would be very difficult in the midst of Expo to
try to run something different or unusual,” he says. “The
best thing we could do to survive would be to put on things
people recognized or had heard about.”

He decided to remount two of the Arts Club's biggest
hits — Ain't Misbehavin’ and Sex Tips for Modern Girls — in
an effort to minimize damage at the box office.

But for the first few months of Expo, Millerd saw
attendance drop off more than 20 per cent, although it has
recently recovered to normal levels.

City nightclubs have also gained little benefit from
Expo.
Although his Club Soda is only a five-minute walk from
the site, manager Jim Davidson says Expo has not increased
his business.

\“In fact, what it's made us do is work a bit harder,” he
says. “We inereased our advertising budget and I've been
aiming my publicity at Vancouverites rather than the
visitors.”

Richards on Richards, one of Vancouver's most popular
nightspots, is just one block from Expo yet manager Roger
Gibson says business is about the same as

“We just carried on the way we always do,” he says.
“We're just trying to appeal to our regular customers, not
the visitors.”

NOT ALLBAD

However, Expo's effect on the city’s cultural life hasn't
been entirely negative.

“I think we're one of the few organizations that haven't
suffered,” says Dorothy Metcalfe of the Vancouver Art
Gallery. “We've broken some box office records, We've had a
lot of international exhibitions that have had a high profile
and a big interest not only from the local people, but from
the tourists.”

Dianne Neufeld, head of the British Columbia Film
Pr office, says‘ Hollywood producers were wary of
bringing their business to the province this year, fearing
transportation pi and di ity getting
dations for their film crews.

“We were prepared for that reaction,” says Neufeld.
“We told them you'll have the same level of co-operation as
in years past, and you will have a place to sleep.”

Her reassurances have apparently worked. Several
films and television productions are being, shot in British

“Columbia this year, including feature films like Malone, with

Canadian content cut

TORONTO (CP) Can
adian content requirements
for Canada’s pay-TV movie
channels have been reduced
by the federal broadcast
regulator, but not to the level
sought by the industry

The channels, commonly
known as Superchannel,
First Choice and Premier
Choix, will now be required
to show 30 per cent Canadian
content in prime time and 20
per cent for the rest of the
day.

Superchannel and First
Choice had suggested their
Canadien - content level
should-be 15 per cent. while
Premier Choix stggested 20
per cent.

Under guidelines suggest
ed by the industry during
licensing in 1981, the chan
nels had been required by the
Canadian Radio television
and Telecommunications

Commission’ to show 50 per
cent Canadian content in
prime time and. 50 per cent
overall.

The industry said earlier
this year that factors — in-
cluding slow subscriber
growth, booming sates of
videocassette recorders and
a shortage of Canadian fea.
ture films had left it
financially weak and unable
to meet the requirements.

The industry also got a
break in the formula for
spending on Canadian ma
terial, but not exactly as it

The three companies had
been required to spend 45
per cent of gross revenues
and 60 per cent of their
program budgets on Can
adian programming. First
Choice and Superchannel
proposed this be reduced to

brations of that sort do not do well,” says Hawthorne of the
Theatre Alliance.

What did come as.a shock was the lack of involvement
they were to have in Expo, It was made clear early on that
smaller Vancouver groups would not get much direct
funding from Expo or much ef a profile in its entertainment
program.

“We could only invite a certain number of groups,”
explains Ann Farris Darling, producer of Expo's World
Festival.

“This is a world festival, not a festival of Vancouver
talent.”

Vancouver groups suggested their summer programs
be incorporated into Expo advertising as “a sort of fringe
entertainment section,” says Hawthorne. “That got
nowhere.”

AVOID HANGOVER
Even more than surviving Expo, many people are
worried about what will happen after the fair closes Oct. 13.
“October, November — that's when I'm pulling all the
stops out with really top-quality bands so there's no Expo
hangover, so to speak,” says nightclub owner Davidson.

“This fall is when it’s going to get really rough,” adds
Millerd. “We'll be left with a Vancouver audience thgt could
easily be completely exhausted.

“Expo has been presenting exotic things“from around
the world. People start to think that if it’s not from France,
it’s not interesting.”

Darling agrees it will be tough, but adds the obstacles
aren't insurmountable.

“If there's a way to keep doing excellence, people will
keep wanting to be enriched — that's where quality will out.

“Why keep mediocrity going? That which should a]

survive will and that which shouldn't, won't.”

TIES STRAINED

Millerd says such the ry
between Expo and Vancouver arts groups.

“Arrogant is a word that could sometimes sum up how
those people have treated a lot of local performers,” he says.

Millerd says that one way Expo could help organi-
zations make up for their losses would be to re a few
facilities behind.

The federally funded Canadian Pavilion has sold some of
its lighting and sound equipment to Vancouver groups at a
discount, and its gigantic Imax film theatre will remain
intact when the pavilion is turned into a convention centre in

But the future of most other facilities has not been
decided.

“There are rumors the Expo Centre's going to stay
around — same with the Folklife.Centre and the Expo
Theatre,” says Linda Oglov, director of publicity for Expo
entertainment. “But nothing’s been confirmed.”
