The mini-series takes the cynical view that life is on big soap opera and everybody off the boat wants to be J.R. Ewing. The seven-hour production, based on the bestselling novel by Fred Mustard Steward, begins tonight and continues Tuesday and Wednesday nights on CBS. It is also being shown on various independent Canadian stations. Trotting out all the sterotypes — Italian lover, Italian loanshark, Irish politicians, Jewish songwriter and Jewish talent agent — and making them intellectually lifeless and unbelievable anyway, Ellis Island centres on the stories of four European immigrants with heavy accents and thick bootstraps. The lives of these characters become intertwined after they leave the immigration centre on New York's Ellis Island to begin their climb up the ladder of sex, money and power. JOLSON HELPS Jake Rubenstein (Peter Riegert from Loca! Hero) is a Russian Jew who emigrates to America after killing a Cossack in a popgrom Given a boost by Al Jolson, Jake becomes a big-deal Broadway songwriter whose musical talent surpasses his marital choice of singer-gold digger Nellie Byfield (Ann Jillian). Marco Santarelli (played with wooden oafishness by Gret Martyn) is an Italian gigolo-gardener whose talent is his libido. “God didn’t give me much,” he tells his best fried Jake, “But women like to lqok at me, and I make love good.” As he sees the Statue of Liberty for the first time, he marvels, “She's-a beautiful.” The Lady of the Harbor turns out to be one of the few feminine figures he doesn't entertain in bed. Another is Georgiana O'Donnell (Judi Bonker), a blind Irish immigrant Marco met on the boat to America. Their gentle and developing friendship — the only woman he ever really loved, he says — is sabotaged by classic soap-opera misconnections and her corrupt, malicious uncle (Milo O'Shea). Marco opts, instead, for an ill-fated marriage to the daughter of a U.S. senator and enters politics, while Georgiana becomes a famous Hollywood screenwriter. BURTON STARS Kate Burton plays Marco's wife, Vanessa, a pathetic figure who rebels from her father’s values and Marco's sexuality ahd leaves both men for a female lover in Greenwich Village. The production displays a remarkably Neanderthal attitude BautVam@ie's new life by making every subsequent charactér mcounters either evil or weird. Burton's father, Richard Burton, in his final role before his death last summer, plays Senator Phipps Ogden. It's said that this performance is no more than a series of imperious walk-ons in a production that will be notable only as the future Trivial Pursuit question. What was Richard Burton's last role? The fourth central immigrant figure is Georgiana's sister, Bridget (Cherie Lunghi), who strives for a normal family life with an Ellis Island doctor as her husband. But that slice of real-life Americana is shattered when her deeds as a revolutionary back in the Auld Sod catch up to her. The best thing that can be said for the mini-series is that it is fast-paced, in the same way that the novels travellers buy at airports can be quick reads. And with good reason: there's nothing remotely substantial weighing down Ellis Island One asset is the performance of Faye Dunaway as stage actress Maud Charteris. Dunaway manages to keep her dignity and evoke a genuine sensuality while ‘and military offices that belied winning campaigns at the front. Brig..Gen. W.

He quotes Maj. Joe Pigott as saying: “We had only feelings of disgust, of contempt for the prime minister and the politicians who were not facing the realities of the crisis, and most of all, we felt anger.

Roger Rowley voiced the anger of all the Canadian troops who saw volunteers pounded relentlessly in the field with no relief while some 70,000 conscripted soldiers waited in Canada. “We had five divisions, or the equivalant, of trained men WHICH ONES? . . .

They didn't know, for example, how to load or fire their weapons,” he writes. “It was then that we first fully realized that as soldiers we were being placed in jeopardy by our own Canadian military and government leaders.

And once again, the fighting men were to be the losers.” GERMAN VETERANS FORGOTTEN WINNIPEG (CP) — When Canada's greying war vet: erans line up today to honor their fallen comrades during Remembrance Day ceremon ies, Hans Guenther Fricke will not be among them. Although he lost close friends in the Second World War and was decorated after being wounded in Italy, as a former officer in the German Army he will bear his grief in private. “Sometimes when I see the veterans marching here, I speak to myself: why do they never come to the idea, or maybe they don’t want it, to invite veterans from the former other side to part icipate in one of their me etings?” Fricke said. But nearly 40 years after the war, feelings still run deep, says Don Heyes, past president of the Manitoba and Northwest Ontario Com mand of the Royal Canadian Legion. Heyes said he and other Canadian war veterans don't want to allow German vet erans who now live in Canada to take part in Royal Can adian Legion affairs “I wouldn't welcome them, if you want my personal opionion, no,” said Heyes. “Nor would most of the veterans.” German servicemen taking part in Remembrance Day services, Heyes said: “They can have their own anytime the want.” NO SERVICES PLANNED No official services are held in Canada to remember the more than four million German war dead, even though thousands of Ger- mans now living in Canada likely lost family or friends in the conflict. None of the German vet- erans interviewed said they had ever met with discrim- ination in Canada because of their ethnic background. But some are saddened because there hasn't been more con tact between veterans of opposing armies. The question of including German Army veterans in Royal Canadian Legion af fairs has been discussed among Canada’s veterans but there is some opposition and German vets remain inel igible for membership. In the political arena at least, the wounds left by the war are beginning to heal.

The fall seminar came to a close on Sunday following some discussion groups chaired by the Health Labor Relations Association.
