Jacobi, working con- sistently as a professional protrait artist, Dorr, a poet with her camera, and Kanaga, a -humanist, . did their work in a more private way.

Seen as a group, their photographs form a bridge of perceptions moving through shifts in style. Their subject. matter ranges from fashion to still life, from

portraits to landscapes, from °

scientific documents to painterly abstractions. In

each case, a study of their

life work reveals a versatility

previously obscured, a greatness not fully recogniz- ed,

Cheap Sentiment not just cheap laughs

CHEAP SENTIMENT kicks off Tamahnous Theatre’s 14th season.

Tamahnous is known for its controversial and stimulating works and for its sophisticated experimenta- tion in contemporary theatre. The company pres- ents a bold-and alternative style of theatre and_ is recognized nationally and internationally as one of Canada’s most innovative theatre collectives.

Cheap Sentiment is an ex- ploration of modern life in a dollars-and-nonsense con-

text. It -is ultimately, op- timistic, corny, and old- fashioned — in a col-

dhearted sort of way.

The five characters arc hopeless and lovable. Angel (Babs Chula), a cocaine- addicted ex-stripper who sees everything in light of her in- ternal profit and loss state- ment, is the proprietor of a Vancouver pawnshop. Her pestering friend, The Rever- end (Ken MacDonald), a defrocked, dipsomaniacal minister turns up to mooch yet another drink. Angel's ex-husband Frankie (Morris Panych) arrives with his new fiance Betty (Barbara E. Russell) intending to pawn her engagement ring so he can get into a poker game. Along comes Ace (Tim Bat- tle) a punk kid who is hot on the trail of the meaning of life and out on a daypass from a mental institution. As their lives entwine in Angel's pawnshop, life becomes increasingly com- plex — and funny.

‘Cheap Sentiment runs through October 12 at the Vancouver East Cultural Centre, 1895 Venables St. at Victoria Drive. Curtain is 8:30 pm.

The $27 ,000 success story.

When Mrs. Mary B . of West Van- couver placed this ad in the North Shore News classifieds, she was optimistic about the response, of course, but she really didn’t expect what happened.

Dozens of people came to her ‘Open House’ sale and she sold every ‘stick of furniture within two days. Total sale $27,000.

Not bad for a $10.29 ad, in the North Shore News, the only advertising she placed for this sale. |

“Mis. B followed up the furniture sale with an ad to sell all the clothing her. family would not need when they moved.

If you have something, or everything, to sell, call the North Shore News classifieds. They can really get you moving.
