To perform Schwanengesang is a con. slderable challenge for any young singer and his pianist, who in tills Instance was June Richards fur many of the songs are so full of subtleties that, though the performers have rehearsed them most carefully, they may still miss important points through excess of steal, upset the music's poise by exaggeration, Strummer, whose voice combines, a nice middle and low register with a light and fairly flexible top, plainly cares about words as a force in musical communication and his interpretations were often marked by an emotional commitment and maturity of expression quiet remarkable In one so young. His delicate nuances and dramatic effects were all characteristic of the true lieder singer and made his recital an almost unfailing delight.

He must, however, guard against excess of zeal leading to the sort of exaggeration and disturbance of musical line I have already mentioned, and also of substituting mere emphasis for real glow in the tone. Highlights of the concert were Fruh-lingssehnsucht, Das Fischermadchen and Die Tauhenpost, and, among the weightier songs, Der Atlas, which convincingly described the burden of unsatisfied love, Am Meer, where Strummer revealed excellent control in sustaining the song's long, gracious Hue, and Der Doppelganger, in which the remorse of a man agonized by the vision of the spectre of himself and his beloved in the ir-retiieveable past was conjured up with compelling effect. June Richards' piano support was unfailingly sympathetic and secure. Canadian movie broker Want to Canadian Press MONTREAL Harold Greenberg, president of Bellevue -Paths, says "the greatest problem facing Canadian filmmakers is that there are just not enough producers who can put a good package together." "I believe Canada can be a major world centre for movies and 1 want to make it that way," says the Montreal businessman who has spent t'i million on the movie industry during the last two years. The stocky former camera-shop owner Is prepared to commit more.

Sitting behind his enormous desk, Greennerg's eyes glow with enthusiasm when he talks about what he wants to do for Canada. "Look," he said, rummaging through plies of papers and producing sheafs of letters from producers, "Otto Premlnger wants to do two films here we shook hands on the deal. "Sandy Howard, the guy who did A Gilles Carle Cultural Canadian Press MONTREAL As a kid growing up in northern Quebec, Gilles Carle did not imagine he would ever make a film. "Films were made in Hollywood, or maybe Paris or London. But not in Quebec." Carle helped change that image with his film, La Vie Heureuse de lo-pold which opened a new era of feature film making in Quebec.

His subsequent films, Le Viol d'Une invest in a Man Called Horse, is already set to come to film the Conquest of the Deeps, sometime in August. Michael Klinger, who directed Get Carter, is really excited about filming Shakespeare's Tempest with Paul Scofield and Tom Courtenay here. "And Jan Kadar is also interested. So is Ray Stark. Once we get to show these guys that Canada is going to be a great place to work, the film industry here will fly." Greenberg expanded his camera shop to encompass what the film business needs most to grow the facilities, processing labs, sound recording and mixing services and editing equipment.

He says he had a great deal to do with 15 of the last 18 films produced in Canada. "I like to think of myself as a marriage broker, My company is not a producer of films. We ari executive producers. We marry off people with money to those with talent, settle budgets and generally get everybody to work togeth- half-breed Jeune Fille Douce, Red and Les Malles, have continued the artistry and Quebe-cois flavor that are standards in a now-thriving industry. La Vraie Nature de Bernadette, his latest release which was selected as Canada's official entry in the recent Cannes Film Festival, established a new level for Quebec movie-makers in appreciation of Quebec life and culture.

Carle, 42, wears a worn leather jacket, turtlenecks and glasses. With a beadful I MM I I vw7 I 'J film? See er smoothly, Nobody else in Canada does that." Nobody, that Is, except for the Canadian Film Development Corp. which put up $12 million in the first two years after its founding in J9H7. During the came time period, private investors contributed $4 million. "The CFDC has done a good job," Greenberg says, "But you've got to be a businessman and be financially successful.

I'm doing this for my own benefit, and that's where the CFDC and I differ. "It's not just a matter of making films. It's important to get capital flowing fast. To do that we have to convince big directors to make their films here so our people can be trained," He added: "Canada has a wealth of technicians, crews and actors who are good. We can do a film here with foreign directors, producers or stars, but the money will be spent In Canada, and everything else will be Canadian.

With sets film of greying, wavy hair and a perennially unshaven chin, he looks rough, friendly and wise. Maniwaki, Rouyn-Noranda and other northern Quebec mining towns were his home as a child when his father searched for work during the Depression. "I came from a poor family," Carle says. "But we never fell poor. We never thought we were poor.

The secretary of state said Canada could profit from the European experi-ments to "democratize" culture without sinking to the lowest common denominator in the process. Pelletier cited the new Canadian museum policy, involving affiliated museums, travelling exhibits and mobile museum buses, as a model approach for breaking out of "culture palaces" and reaching the average citizen, But the main cultural problem facing Canada, today, he said, is the temporary inability to produce enough Canadian material for radio and television. Rattier than automatically pick up cheap U.S.

programs, Canada should look to Europe where co-operation among state-operated TV networks has financed special films, such as Felliul's The Clowns. "We also think we can contribute something to the conference by talking about our experiences with the domestic communications satellite, the microwave network, cable television and the use of video recorders for social animation," he said. Also in the Canadian delegation are provincial representatives George Kerr of Ontario, Pierre de Grandpre of Quebec, E. L. Tchorzewskl, of Saskatchewan, and Frederic Arsenault of New Brunswick.

this man some financial help from the Americans even more money will actually come in, and that will be investing in the country. Everybody wins, even the taxpayer," Greenberg says it will cost 25 to 30 per cent less to make a film in Canada instead of the U.S. The cheaper costs plus the modern facilities in this country should attract American companies. "Big-time producers are a very practical lot," he says. "They won't believe anything'i good unless they see It in their firsts, it's not even enough to have them do one picture in Canada to prove it to them, but you have to get them to come back." Greenberg says he never turns down a script.

"There were eight children and to all of them studying was important. I studied literature and fine arts at the University of Montreal and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Pellan, Eveleigh and Calder.

I have a very strong background in visual things." An artist, graphic designer and even a film animator for a while, Carle turned to writing-producing a couple of novels, many short stories plus plays and poetry. He associated with other young writers and during the early 1950s he became aware of the then-new feeling fur Quebec that is a trademark of his work. "All artists then were linked with Paris. They dreamed of going back to Paris, to Europe. We ail went to Europe, but instead of staying five years we stayed five weeks, "We wanted to stay here.

Maybe it was not so good, but it was ours. It was an emotional thing. The things we wrote then were linked with Quebec. I was a nationalist." But, Carle says: "I was writing for 14 years and never had one thing accepted. My kind of Ideas could not be accepted then.

Now I'm 42 and I'm only starting to make films, only starting to express myself." Today Carle is not a nationalist. He is for Quebec independence, but his ideals run far deeper than politics. He dreams of a world of little, independent societies based on the natural divisions of man. Carle has little time for a government that attempts to promote "proper language" and "cultural alliances." In his film Red he explored the life of a half-breed Indian and through that Quebec's French English-American culture. "In Quebec," he wTote several years ago, "one is culturally a half-breed, incredibly so.

Iceland was fixed as the site of the championship only after Fischer, the International chess Federation, and the Soviet federation were involved in a tortuous aeries of quarrels and negotiations over several possible sites and financial arrangements. But there is an intrinsic logic to Uie kite. With an American threatening to break the long standing Soviet monopoly on the chess summit, this North Atlantic Island is nearly a midway point between the two vast countries.

In addition, Icelanders have long been among the most devoted of chess players. From the middle ages, the game hag been a favorite pastime in the long northern winters. This country of only 200,000 people has produced grandmasters like Frldiik Olafsson and others well known in the chess world. from sheer boredom with traditional Russian domination of the game. "The hegemony of Soviet chess Is boring everybody in the est and even some in the Soviet Union," SpassVy said.

Spassky, 35, has a wife who works as a technician in a refrigerator plant, and two children aged five and 12. Asked if Fischer has any weaknesses, Spassky replied: ''Yes, he has some very serious weaknesses. But don't ask me what they are because, for lha time being, that Is my secret," 'Or, 7- By PETER CAM MAI Soiilham News Services HELSINKI, Finland Canada is the only non European nation taking part in a UN sponsored cultural conference here because It must "diversify'1 culturally as well as economically to lessen its de. pendeiue on the U.S., according to State Secretary Gerard I'ellelier. "And it's easier to move things around in the cultural field than it Is in econ-mica," I'ellelier commented in an interview on the opening day of the 10-day meeting.

Pellelier heads the nine member Canadian delegation to the UNESCO sponsored conference on "Cultural Policies in Europe" which has attracted nearly 300 delegates from 32 European nations. The Finnish ministry of foreign affairs said Canada was participating in the European regional meeting because "there will not be any other regional meeting where Canada's cultural problems could be adequately dealt with." An America regional meeting is scheduled for 1977, after sessions in Africa and Asia. But I'ellelier explained Canada's participation here In other terms: "Our cultural institutions such as tlie CBC, National Film Board and Uie Canada Council are tailored on European models much more than on the Today's viewing ilVC Gilles Carle, centre, with slurs Mlchcline Lanctot and Donald I'ilon after Chess match of the century (3D OffeeMS) Thursdoy) vi v.v. 1 4 i- o.v: ers Mark Taimanov and Bent I.arsen, They were also spiritually wrecked after the first couile of games."
