Dazzling laser lights of emerald and ruby sliced through billowing stage smoke, rock-concert style, as Fox in- troduced its fall schedule of new shows that lean heavily toward those of relatively tender years. The pounding music that accom- panied the glitzy, sexy ‘‘image cam- paign’’ reverberated through the soundstage at 20th Century ° Fox Studios. No, it wasn’t loud enough to be heard a couple of blocks up the road at the offices of ABC, but one could imagine some big-time network executives with their ears to the ground. After all, ABC, NBC and CBS have had to také notice of the upstart little Fox nipping at their heels. A couple of years ago, Fox was just LOCAL/PROVINCIAL NEWS STITCHED IN SILK another pest in the pack of cable and other TV alternatives nib- bling away at network ratings. But fiesty Fox loped ahead of the fest. The Tracey Ullman Show won critical raves and an Emmy Award for its fresh and witty treatments. And speaking of Emmys, Fox snat- ched up the telecast rights to the TV awards in 1987. This spring, it signed a deal to braodcast the Emmys for the next three years. Late last year, America’s Most Wanted and Married . . . With Children started nudging out the major networks in their time slots. In January of this year, Fox laun- ched The Wes i] Centre one ot the quilt works by Angelika Kraus-Werth that are now on Soler o ‘the NEG Castlegar. This quilt is quite small compared to most of the pieces in the show. student By INA WARREN The Canadian Press Dustin Hoffman, that persnickety improver of movie scripts, is doing it again with his latest project, Billy Bathgate. Im will shoot in historic Saratoga Springs in northern New York state, the setting of Doctorow’s novel. The news must have come as a blow to Montreal's new film commissioner Andre Lafond, who boasted on And his means is losing out as a shooting site for one of the few American an prime-time series that quickly became the toast of pop culturalists. By early summer, Fox had cracked the top 10 shows in audience ratings, at times placing two programs there. The ever-growing Fox has prom- pted nervous potshots from network executives, such as NBC’s Brandon Tartikoff. In an interview, Tartikoff accused Fox of pandering to the lowest com- mon denominator in taste and in- telligence.

Billy Bathgate, based on E.L. Doctorow’s popular novel, was to start filming this August with Hoffman played a 1940s gangster who befriends a young tyke. Montreal was to fill in for New York, a role it has undertaken in several major movies including Sergio Leone’s Once Upon A Time in America, Allan Rudolph’s The Moderns and Paul Mazursky’s Enemies: A Love Story. But Disney’s Touchstone Studios gave Hoffman script approval, an act akin to signing a blank cheque. Rain Man, for which Hoffman won an Oscar last year, went through eight writers before the star was satisfied. His 1982 movie Tootsie used so many writers that a New York court had to wade through more than 80 versions of the screenplay to decide who deserved the final screen credit. True to form, Hoffman requested a rewrite of Billy Bathgate and he and director Robert Benton, the Oscar- winning director of Places in the Heart, are said to be huddled over the script. The rewrite meant the production’s starting date was bumped to about October from August. The film-makers feared that might mean running in- to snow in Canada, so they decided against shooting in Montreal. Also a loser was the small Ontario town of Vankleek Hill which had agreed to turn its main street over to Billy Bathgate for a 15-minute portion of the film. his last year that he not only wanted to put the city back on the map as the place for Americans to shoot, but warned ‘‘my real target is to beat Toronto.’” As it stands, Montreal has so far attracted only two major American productions this year: a TV movie for HBO called Descending Angel, and the Warner Bros. spy comedy If Looks Could Kill. Luckily, the home-grown film production scene — the backbone of the Quebec industry — is extraordinarily active this summer with several Quebec movies currently shooting or in pre-production. Roger Cantin, the versatile writer and actor, is direc- ting the intriguingly titled L’ Assassin jouait du trombone (The Killer Played the Trombone) based on his own script. The film is being produced by Allegro Films. Also using a musical motif is The Pianist — a movie based on Ann Ireland’s best-selling novel A Certain Mr. Takahashi — which arrives in Montreal this month after a three-week shoot in Vancouver. The Japanese-Canadian co-production is directed by Quebec-born film-maker Claude Gagnon, who lived and worked in Japan for 10 years and is married to the movie's producer, Yuri Yoshimura-Gagnon. Popular Quebec singer Daniel Lovoie makes his movie debut in Le Fabuleux voyage de l’ange (The Fabulous Voyage of the Angel), a fantasy tale combining actors with animated characters. It is directed by Jean- Pierre Lefebvre and is set to go before the cameras in mid- Adventure continued from pege 83 On his return to England after a long service with the emperor, Alcuin apparently decided to make a pilgrimage between the two most sacred places in Britain, presumably to renew his links with.the Celtic Moteer Church which had been responsible for the I sance and the flowering of learning, and the Celtic arts throughout northern Britain and Europe 1,000 years ago in what is known today as the Dark Ages. Actually they were dark only in some places. In 793, Lindisfarne saw what no one in England had seen before — Viking raiders. They sacked the monastery and killed a number of the monks, a horror which was to be repeated several times during the next century. After the Norman invasion (1066 and all that), Lindisfarne became a Benedictine community and flourished until Henry the Eight’s Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1537. The priory ruins and Holy Island, however have remained as a magnet to historians, visitors, and pilbrims ever since. Diesvelt’s pilgrimage is probably unique, in this century at least, for the fact that he is attemptint to make it as authentic as possible. His sandals, for example, were designed in an eighth century pattern by June Swann, an English authority on the history of shoes and shoe making, and made by Ken Rice, a renowned shoe designer and shoemaker in Van- couver. He will make his daily travel notes on wax tablets kept in a diptych, an ancient, hinged two-leafed writing tablet used with a stylus. In the evening he will transcribe his notes on to sheets of vellum (calf-skin parchment), writing the words with quill pens made from the pinion feathers of Canada Geese. These and his other simple needs will be carried in a ‘‘budget’’ or satchel copied from an original in the National Museum of Dublin. His habit or monk’s robe, the most ambitious of his requirements, was made from a single six pound fleece sheared from a New Zealand Coopsarth, or Wooly Hogget sheep. The fleece was bought, picked, cleaned, carded and spun into yarn by Castlegar master spinners Jacquie Hamilton, Sandy Donahue and Alex Ready, and woven into a 36-inch-wide, six- yard-long length of ‘‘yardage’’ by Thor-Larsen. It was then hand-washed in lukewarm water for shrinkage and pressed, a process which reduced ten per cent of its area, and should not be attempted by amateurs. The entire operation required some 30 hours of work to complete. The robe was, presumably, made by Diesvelt himself. In his modified Carolingian Minuscule script Diesvelt writes: ‘Received your parcéls (of yardage) just the other day. What regal material! It really is I have seen and felt the materia! say that it is beautiful indeed. In her letter to Diesvelt, Thor-Larsen, with the justifiable pride of the master craftsman, directs his at- tention to the ‘‘hand”’ (the quality of the material and how well it drapes or falls) and its ‘‘liftiness’’ (the lacy weave of the material when seen against the light), which will trap the air and make the garment warm. Because it is pure, handspun wool it will also shed moisture and wear like iron. In a prepared brochure, Diesvelt indicates that he will leave the Isle of lona on Aug. 21 (the day we leave for Scotland) and will finish his pilgrimage on Sept. 6 at Lindisfarne. In doing so he will walk across the Isle of Mull, through the towns of Oban and Tyndrum, along the rivers Teith, Forth and Tweed, then turn south past the abbeys of Montrose and Kelso where Alcuin is reputed to have lived and so on to Holy Island, following the paths and sheep trails as travellers of 1,200 years ago would have done. Roads, such as they were, being just as dangerous then as now. It has been a particular pleasure to write this story, my second-to-last for the next two months. I have enjoyed it, first because of the initial interview with Thor-Larsen — -@ relaxed melange of questions on ical details, coffee and Mozart — and secondly because I have limited knowledge in the medieval period and I am acquainted with all of the places mentioned, with the exception of Lindisfarne, and that is an anticipated pleasure which I hope to share with the monks at Westminster Abbey in the fall. Most important, perhaps, has been the oppor- tunity to make the acquaintance of people for whom such words as “‘pride of craftsmanship,’ integrity, and romance have real meaning in a plastic, mass- produced world; who have a sense of empathy for our historic culture and heritage. There are quite a few of them but they are not always easy to find. It is hear- tening also to be reminded once again that these masters of their crafts are not high-profile specialists ~ or experts but ordinary working citizens doing what they love. The four women who made the cloth for the pilgrim’s robe are all members of the Selkirk Weavers and Spinners Guild. Jacquie Hamilton is the treasurer for the City of Castlegar, Sandra Donohue is a teacher, Alex Ready is an office manager and Ingebord Thor-Larsen is a wife, mother and mover-and-shaker for the guild and the only full-time weaver. All have won many prizes for their work. Rudi Diesvelt, whose pilgrimage marks the 25th anniversary of the Alcuin Society, is an airline atten- dant. Castlegar can take pride in having some part in this historic and imaginative venture and I also and can only something else! I had expected more rustic and funkier (sic) but this is really exceptional.” its participants and wish them well in their next adventure.
