The directors, Ronnie Gil- bert and Buzz Bense, have explored the dramatic tension in various ways and achieved some exciting and skilful ef- fects, particularly with the use of symbolism and humor at the “important moments” of crisis, conflict or revelation. : The. characters developed are not necessarily archetypal, but the feelings and emotions exposed by them are common ground for everyone in some way.

Since we've been home, we thank God every day that we are among the lucky ones. Our little one has a medical problem that couldn't be prop- erly diagnosed in Trail, so off we went to Vancouver.

Five minutes later he's crying his eyes out, telling me he's sorry and begging me to forgive him, When I'm sick he gets mad because I can’t cook for him. He says I have noright to be sick, because “he works all week.” What kind of reasoning is that? .

New Series On People Of the North “The Northerners", a new 12-part series of TV programs featuring the people of the North who reminisce about their unique experiences begins tonight at 7:30 p.m. on CBC British Columbia. Bob Switzer shared those memories during a recent jour- ney that took him from the old mining areas of British Colum- bia, into the Yukon of the Gold Rush days, through the rich McKenzie Delta and across the ice pack into the high Arctic. Today, Canada’s north is a booming frontier of exploration and development. Its’ residents have access to most of the comforts of southern society. But the. oldtimers remem- ber a different north—when the trapping was good and life was free and independent. It was more than just ‘the good old’ days'—it. was another world. And now it's all but gone. Soon the old folks, too, will be gone—but they still have their memories of those golden lays. “The Northerners” looks at some of the major influences for change in the nérth over the past 100 years. It does so by listening to people. “The Northerners” was three years in the planning. ion te: warning: scenes of brutal yi SUN MON TUE raed civic THEATRE Nelson * Ono Show Only -8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.

Only death puts an end to philandering for some Romeos—no matter what it looks like to outsiders. Dear Ann: Your answer to Living a Nightmare did the police across the nation a disservice. You said, “The wife has to call the police while he’s still hitting her (a neat trick) or enlist the help of the children or neighbors. By the time ‘the police show up the skunk is acting like a pussycat, He says, ‘She's nuts.’ The police believe him and that’s the end of it.” No, Ann, we do not believe him. Don't you think we have eyes and can see what he has done to her? It's true we can't arrest a man and take him away for busting up his own furniture, but many times my partner and I have offered to take the wife to a friend or relative until she can contact an attorney. Ninety-nine per cent of the time she refuses. I can't count the number of times we have arrived while the husband is actively beating the daylights out of his wife, and what do you suppose happens when we finally get him pulled off of her? She turns around and clobbers us with a chair or a lamp. I have scars to prove it. . So, Ann, when you say, “The police believe him and that's the end of it,” you're way off. We want to help but there is only so much we can do. —Been There and Back Dear Been There and Back: You are right.

You know her, Archie Bunker's daughter on ‘All in'the Family’ and everybody's favorite for eight years now. But all that is over. Sally is giving up her role as Gloria, possibly quitting show business altogether. "What | do will depend on what my husband says. If he told me, ‘Give up show business,’ then I'd. quit."

The skyrocketing star of ABC's “The Hardy Boys’ has lost his heart to singer Donna Freberg.

We don't believe in getting married too young because we've seen our friends do it and then wind up shattered." . .. T funnyman Harvey Korman was definitely in the dumps when his wife Donna divorced him a few months ago, ending their 17-year marriage. Now he’s all smiles again with a new love 20 years his junior. Korman, who'll be 51 soon, is fervently pursuing Madlyn Smith, a 31-year-old production assistant on ABC-TV's ‘Redd Foxx’ show, which is just fine with her. “He's my idea of the perfect man,” Madlyn told me. “He's intelligent, he's amusin; without trying too hard and! think he's very cute.” ‘Madlyn’s terrific,” Harvey sent word to me. “She has a great sense of humor. She's a strong, determined lady—but very feminine. She's everything.”’. . . Robert Walden, who plays Joe Rossi on the popular ‘Lou Grant, isn't married. But he has his own strange ideas about marriage. Says if he did have a wife, he’d want her to have her own house and he thinks they'd get along better living separately. Once he did come close enough to matrimony to mail out the invitations but then he backed out. Maybe the girl didn't want a home of her very own? TV BACKSTAGE: Look out ‘Lorrie Mehaffey!
