French language film was re-j fused a permit at the last mo- ment yesterday evening by the! Provincial Board of Censors. This! reviewer attented the showing at the Parisienne, the former Or-1 phetim Theatre, and saw three short films. i Jean Paul Bernier, the author and director of the film, representing Les Films du Nouveau Quebec made the following statement: "The censors told us that the film was too avant garde a product of the international cinema and they found that this is the kind of entertainment for which the Province of Quebec is not ready." Mr. Bernier told The Gazette: "There is nothing sensual or vulgar in this film. I cannot see that there is anything to be Cut.

It is a simple love story, founded on fact as a study of the problem bf people today. After we saw Ingmar Bergman's film, The Silence, which had a lengthy run in Montreal, we simply wondered why the censors cracked down on one tenser little love scene." The producers arranged a spectacular opening night with floodlights, photographers and "starlets" in elaborate gowns. yH.UT TO HEMEMBER'S. AT THE YITf ti.

The committee, called the Auditorium Theatre Council, has raised a third of the S2.750.000 reouired for the theatre's restoration. The Auditorium was designed by Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler, renowned Chicago architects, and since its inaugural by President Benjamin Harrison in 1889 has been known for its per-i feet acoustics and exceptional sight lines. But with the economic hard-! ships of the depression of the; early 1930s, the Auditorium fell into disuse and subsequent i rMsrepair. The elegant gold traceries faded and the piaster' crumbled.

it was used as a servicemen's centre. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright termed the auditorium "the greatest room for music and opera in the world-bar none." John McCormack. tht Irish' tenor, once said, "I would rather sing in the Auditorium than any other hall in the world." And Nellie Melba, the Australian soprano, said: "I wish I could fold it up and take it with me everywhere, to open it out for every performance I give." Film Board Wins Award The St. Finbarr Statuette has been awarded to the National Film Board for its film Keno-juak at the Ninth Cork International Film Festival. This 20-minute colour film about an Eskimo artist at Cape Dorset was given the highest honors in the Films on Art category in which twenty-nine countries were competing.

Grant McLean, NFB director of production, attended the festival and accepted the Statuette on behalf of the Board. Kenojuak was directed by John Feeney, who has won several awards for a previous film about Eskimo stone carvers, entitled The Living Stone. The Canadian entry was described by the festival jury as "a rare film which permits us to participate vicariously in the joy of creativity, both in art and in life. Exceptionally well executed, and of extraordinary content, this film is unique both as an example of art at work and life being lived." micaela: PIERRETTE ALARIE escamillo: VICTOR BRAUN PROGRAMME: BEETHOVEN and CHOPIN MONDAY OCT. 5 carmen: SHIRLEY VERRETT don jose: RICHARD VERREAU with an outstanding cast LOUISE LEBRUN ANDRE LORTIE YOLAND GUERARD IK ni ETTE TOUR- ANGEAU MARCEL TESSIER BERNARD TURGEON Chorus master: MARCEL LAURENCELLE Staged fej: IRVING GUTTMAN STUDENT TICKETS: COMPLETELY SOLD OUT TICKETS ON SALE at La Place ties Arts; Canadian Concerts, 1821 Sherbrooke W.
