The Ottawa Citizen from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada • 30

Pie 30, The Citizen, Ottawa, Friday, May 17, 1974 After Jalna 9s fall, it's House of Pride now. One of the girls was telling me the other day she'd been reading the script and could hardly wait for the next episode." Whether the crosscountry production complexities can be overcome remains to be seen, al though Beard is optimistic. "There's a lot of regional pride in Pride," he says. "We think we can do drama here better than Toronto and they like to think we're i bunch of hicks. But it's a good rivalry." "I suppose some people will call it soap opera, but it's not really there's a fine line between soap opera and an evening serial.

"For instance, the crew's first reaction was, 'oh hell, a soap but not wers forget Jalna. Indeed the CBC insists House of Pride isn't like Jalna at all. That's true to the extent a bomb bears little resemblance to a coast-to-coast mine field. Clever, yes? Still, the concept is so devilishly clever in CBC terms that only spoil sports would complain before the series hits the air or the fan. Although the precise origin of the concept remains murky, there is this reliable scenario: You are a CBC Grade-B boss in Toronto.

You are glum. What to do? Most of the By Roy Shields Soulhtm Sen Serrica VANCOUVER From the network that brought you The Whiteoakj of Jalna, behold. House of Pride. Devised as an experimental drama serial that will funnel to Toronto scenes produced in CBC centres from the Atlantic to the Pacific, House of Pride offers viewers three generations of a Canadian family scattered across the country. It will be seen twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, beginning in January.

And it just might work. It might even make vie are coveting his acres not to mention sons, daughters and relatives. As this unfolds we cut back and forth across the nation becoming involved with the various Prides, including the one who ran off and married a French Canadian. Beard works hard at disassociating Pride from Jalna. "It's not on the same scale at all," he says.

"It won't have the impact or press of Jalna or National Dream it's not of that scope. It's more an experimental half-hour serialized drama of mass appeal, more like the British series. Coronation Street. Dining and Entertainment program money is already spent, decrepit production facilities are over-taxed and yet those Grade-A bosses in the CBCs Ottawa headquarters demand Canadian drama. Then one day over at the Celebrity Club some wiseacre in his cups suggests the next time the CBC does a drama series it should try to spread the blame.

Presto! House of Pride. Beautiful, baby. We take you now to Vancouver where youthful director Hugh Beard the name fits his appearance-is hard at work on some of the "regional" contributions to Pride. The schedule is tight. Others like Beard are frantically casting, blueprinting location shooting and co-ordinating production with producers Jack Nixon Browne and Herb Roland in Toronto.

Scripts are piled high in Beard's downtown CBC office here. They're the creation (mostly) of George Robertson, the man who gave us Quentin Dur-gens MP. Ready, action! Charmion King, wife to Gordon Pinsent, is due in town soon for the lead role in the Vancouver scenes to be shot, as elsewhere, with electronic TV cameras instead of the traditional film technique. As soon as the scenes are completed the tapes will be rushed to Tpronto for editing. The cameras begin rolling here by May 18, by May 29 in Winnipeg, June 3 in Montreal, June 9 in Halifax.

One sequence will be shot in Edmonton sometime in August. The story is well, like that other unmentionable series complicated. It begins when Old Dan Pride, 91, the patriarch of the family, living on his small farm outside Toronto with a son and granddaughter, demands a reunion of the clan before he kicks the bucket.

SATURDAY ONLY SALLE DUVERNAY ceramist, but in this exhibition being held at Gallery 93, Sparks Street, he is also displaying a series of landscape watercolors. Although the two don't really complement one another, they do express Zavi's apparent interest in nature. His ceramic subjects are usually detailed studies of owls on branches, birds, flowers or sunsets, while the watercolors tend to provide the background for these clay subjects.

I found Zavi's work rather commercial. Hit watercolors are nice, safe landscapes lacking punchy color, or intriguing design. There is nothing unexpected about them. For the most part, the same is true with his ceramics. Though they are beautifully executed, they are unexceptionalthe usual selection of small round bowls, flat dishes, jars with lids and candle holders.

Most of them are attractive, but not out of the ordinary. In the two instances where he has tried to create abstract forms in pottery, the results are not what one would hope for. Symbolic Form, for instance, resembles the head of a whale bursting from water and gasping for air. The blue, black and red design on the exterior merely heightens that mammal look.
