THE HOLT Renfrew fashion extravaganza at the Water-
front Centre Hotei Thursday, Sept. 30 was a great success

and raised more than $30,000 for Arts Umbrella.

The actual show was @ liule
different this year, with 12 little
Kaggedy Ann dancers aged five to
seven tapdancing their way across
the stage.

Beautiful fashions by Louis
Feraud, Donna Karan, Mondi and
several others were in evidence.

The color of choice was black
and the length was long.

Hotelier Michael Kaite fed off
the grande finale by walking the
long ramp and modelling a tux
and a rather smashing gold and
red bowtie and cummerbund set,
and was rewarded with whistles
aplenty!

He was followed by Maynard's
Barry Scott, Ballet B.C.'s
Rosemary Keevil, Canadian Craft
Museum’s Margaret Stecley, the
Vancouver Symphony’s Shirley
Bidewell and Arts Umbrella's Vi-
vian and David Thom.

Also chatted with former West
Vanner Fay McMyn who's back in
town from Germany, Miss Etc.

those enormous platform shoes,
Yulande Faris, Jack Poole, Milton
Wong and David Richardson,

The gala opening of the Van-
couver International Film Festiva!
at the Vogue theatre was on the
same night. It, too, was an un-
qualified success.

it was the premiere of the
locally made movie Digger, the
first tine in its 12-year history
‘that a B.C. movie has opened the
‘festival!

- While Olympia Dukakis was a
last-minute no-show, the very
pleasant Timothy Bottoms, Adam

JOY TELLS ALL

Joshua Jackson, who is also the
star of the movie The Mighty
Ducks, were on hand.

Barbara was accompanied by
her handsome new husband, Yom
Hayden, Jane Fonda’s cx.

Joshua's proud :nuia, Fiona
Jackson, tells me that Josh just
wrapped Mighty Ducks 2 aad it
looks like another winner.

Digger is beautifully shot, the
Vancouver Island scenery is
gorgeous, the acting superb and
the whole family can watch it
together.

Only one problem and that is
that it’s just a little too slow.

Nice to see WIC’s Boug
Holtby, one of the big backers, at
the movie, along with film direc-
tor Baryl Duke, veteran CBC-er
Phi) Keatley, Adrian Fau? (the
hero of the Highlander TY series),
Festival chairman Michsel Francis,
Hornby Island financier Arnie
Olson, The Knowledge Network’s

. Sim Carney, Pacific Motion Pic-

tures’ Tom Rowe, BCTV’s Pamela
Martin and her steady fella Ken

Doug and Diane Clements.

They were suffering through a
dilemma. Diane's an active
member of the film festival board
but daughter Jennifer was opening
in The Miracle Worker.

Digger won out! | think it will
win with regular audiences as well.
The reception was held at the
Law Courts building for about

600 hungry guests.

But surprisingly there was an
abundance of food and lots of
wine and Aqua Libra for
everyone. A very busy but pleas-
ant evening...

Speaking of Ken Hutchinson,
his first annual Avalon Hotel
Mardi Gras attracted good crowds
and brought in much-needed
funds for Emily Murphy House, a
transition home for abused women
and their children.

There's a dedicated group, like
Peggy Mulligan, Linda Davies and
Georgy Good, currently working
on other fundraisers for the
house, including the exciting fam-
ily hoedown and auction benefit at
Presto Catering at Marine Drive
and Cap Road on Friday, Oci. 22.

Great food, great prizes! For
tickets and information call 987-
