Big news in the world of
Canadian show business this
year and next will be the arri-
val of color television to the
country. Plans are in full swing
to present the best in color en-
tertainment for the Canadian
viewing public. The CBC will
carry about 30 hours weekly of
color programming, beginning
at the start of the 1966 fall
schedule. About one-third of
this will be Canadian-produced
entertainment. The remainder
will be network shows from U.S.
television, or film color series.
CBC stations "going color" at
the beginning of the fall season
include Vancouver, Edmonton,
Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal,
Ottawa, Halifax, and St.John's.
Some of the smaller stations
will join the network later, per-
haps in early '67, (Our own lo-
cal station will be one of these.)
Toronto television studio
shows to be seen in color in the
fall include ''Show of the Week"
and "Festival". A mobile unit
will telecast sports events(hoc-
key games among them), and
some variety shows. Coming
as it does, just before Centen-
nial Year, the programming
list will also include specials
on "Camera Canada" and "Can-
ada 99". News and public af-
fairs shows will originate in col-
or in the Ottawa studios of the
CBC.
Total cost of the conversion
to color, is said to be $15,000,-
000. This is only the initial
step, though; future develop-
ment will no doubt cost much
more. And while we are scrat-
ching our pockets for the money,
things are buzzing in TV stu-
dios in preparation for the
changeover. Staffs are being
trained, transmitters are being
converted, new mobiles are on
order, and cameramen, de-
signers, producers, etc. , are at-

During the summer, studios in
Toronto, Montreal, and Ot-

ready for D-Day, or perhaps
C-Day would be more fitting,
on October 1st.

The Christies are a show-
business family. Robert is one
of this country's most respected
and talented actors; his wife
Margot is a fine dramatic act-
ress. Both have had roles at
Stratford's Shakespearean Festi-
val; and so it was not surprising
that the theatre and the world
of show-business in general
should attract their daughter
Dinah.
In 1956, when she was only
13, she became a member of
the Festival Company and was
kept busy calling the stars from
their dressing rooms and toting
wigs and coffee. In later years,
she too, took starring roles in
the dramatic productions and
last year was a member of the
cast that performed at Chiches-
ter, England. When she was 18,
her father gave her a guitar and
she soon became a popular folk-
singer in night-clubs and cafes.
In recent years, she has been
kept busy with club dates, re-
cording sessions, acting roles
and roles in musical revues in
Toronto.
Dinah was the last of about
250 girls to be auditioned for
the job of hostess on "This Hour
Has Seven Days". Though she
is charming enough and a good
interviewer, the job does noth-
ing to further her career as a
singer or actress. Her attempts
at singing the theme song are
sad. But the singing is no sad-
der than the writing of the song!
In spite of the little spare
time that the show leaves her,
she makes all her own clothes
and writes poetry.
