CBC SERIES

Show trying to prove

Canadians are colorful

CANADIANS are dull and
boring.

““Wrong!’? says stage
director and radio producer
Stephen Katz, whose file on
assorted oddballs provided
the inspiration for a six-part
CBC-AM Radio drama
series, Cranks, now in pro-
duction for broadcast this
fall. Cranks, a portrait
gallery of Canadian eccen-
trics, airs on Sunday Mati-
nee, started Oct. 13 at 1:05
p.m.

A reprise of the series will
be heard on CBC’s Stereo
Theatre, Sundays starting
Nov. 17 at 7:05 p.m,

Canadians are reluctant to
mythologize their heroes,
and artists, and individuals
who don’t run with the
pack; in Cranks, Katz sets
out to prove that our history
is as colorful as anyone's.
From his file, Katz has
selected six personalities
“from the fiendish’? in the
case of Dr. Thomas Neill
Cream, our very own ‘Jack
the Ripper,’ “to the fop-
pish,”’- Sir ~Henry Pellatt,
whose fairy tale. castle, Casa
Loma,
Disney setting, is a must on
every tourist’s itinerary in
Toronto.

Out of step with society,
these non-conformists ‘Serve
as aliens to view the times‘in
which they lived, a sidelight

to our history. Each had a.

personal, if sometimes
distorted, vision.
Cranks stars a bevy of our

finest actors: John Colicos,

MEMORIES come flocding
back with ihe hundreds of
photographic images on
display at the Vancouver
Museum entitled, Lost Van-
couver: A Century of
Change.

All the subjects have been
lost to the wrecking ball over
the Jast century. Some, like
the Orillia, have disappeared
recently while others were
researched at the archives
and trace Vancouver’s histo-
ry back to its earliest settle-
ments.

Viewers can see the interi-
or of W.M. Harrison Drug
Store Ltd., selling, among
other things Handy Hat
Cleaners for 10¢, or a
close-up of the intricate
detailing on the second
Hotel Vancouver.

This collection of
photographs and
memorabelia range through
such categories as street
scenes, public buildings,
hotels, commercial sites,
theatres, churches, schools
and residences.

Hours of the Museum are
10 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily. For
special group rates or further
information, call 736-4431.
