THE REINCARNATION OF PETER PROUD:

Kidder starring along with Jennifer O'Neill.

Lvc eum Wingham. Also showing at The Park,

RECOMMENDATION FOR MERCY: Based
on the Stephen Truscott case but liberally
fictionalised, this movie deals with the
problems of a young boy accused of murder.
Has been both praised and panned and seems
to he somewhere in between: a good, but not
great Canadian movie. At the Capitol,
Listowel, Oct. 24 to 28, at the Lyceum,
Wingham Oct. 24 to 28.
FRENCH CONNECTION PART 2: Gene
,Hackman returns in a sequel to the lucrative

suffer by comparison to the original. At the
Lyceum, Wingham from Oct.. 29 to Nov. 1, at
the Capitol, Listowel from Nov. 1 to 4 and at
The Park, Goderich.
2001, A SPACE ODDESSY: One 'of the most
famous of science fiction movies is around
again for those who missed it earlier or want
to see it again. At The Capitol, Listowel, Oct.
29 to 31.
JAWS: You may never go swimming in the
ocean again after seeing this film about a
huge killer shark. The film is absorbing, but
the plot has -deteriorated from the best-selling
novel by Peter Benchley on which it is based.
At the Odeon Hyland in London this month.
At the Hyland later this month, watch for,
"The Other Side of the Mountain" starring
Marilyn Hasset and Beau Bridges.
THE FORTUNE: a new film with Jack
Nicholson and Warren Beatty, will be at the
Odeon I, London in early October. Around
Thanksgiving, watch for "Hard Times,"
Charles Bronson's latest film co-starring
James Cobourn, and later on, it will be
another shark epic, "Blue water, White
Death," starring Jaws' cousin Teeth in his
dramatic debut.
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN:
with Marilyn Hasset and Beau Bridges starts
out this month's lineup at the Odeon II in
London. Around Thanksgiving, "Royal
Flash" will be showing - it stars Malcolm
MacDowell (of "Clockwork Orange" fame),
Oliver Reed, and Allan Bates, and is directed
by Richard Lester ("The Three
Musketeers"). It concerns "a soldier who
cheats at cards and debases women." Sounds
like fun.
ROOSTER COGBURN: a spin-off of "True
Grit" starring John Wayne and Catherine
Hepburn, will be at the Capitol in London
sometime this month. Call for a definite date
if you're one of Duke's fans.
THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR: will be
playing at the Century, London, this month. It
will be followed by the sequel to the hilarious
"Uptown Saturday Night", "Let's Do It
Again," starring Bill Cosby and Sidney
Portier, among others.
THE PARK THEATRE: in London has an
extensive movie lineup for this month,
including "The Iceman Cometh," "Butley,"
"A Delicate Balance," and "The Homecom-
ing". Best call the theatre for definite dates.
Crafts
How time flies. The Colborne Township
Christmas Country Fair is holding its 10th
annual fair October 15 and 18 at the Saltford
Valley Hall. Last year the fair moved to
Saltford from the cramped quarters at
Carlow whete as the crowds grew and grew it
seemed likely someone, either visitor or
exhibitor was likely to be trampled to death.
The larger building at Saltford provided the
answer.
The Colborne Fair was the first of the local
craft fairs and still the most unique in that it
features only local craftsmen and artists, not
people from all over the province as in some
shows. This year, for instance will feature the
pottery of Sheila Gunby of Dungannon, the
painting of Jack McLaren, the terraniums of
George Finnigan of Stratford, the handweav-
ing of Mrs. Adrian Vos of Blyth, chair caning
by Fred Sandy of Goderich and home
spinning and weaving by Mrs. Saron
Dobinson and many other features. There will
also of course be the baking counter and tea
room.
The show is open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on
October 15 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on October
18.
THEATRE
CHEMIN DE FER: Theatre London's first
production of the season is a Feydeau
production. Totally mad madcap mixups
dominate this rip-roarious romp through love,
laughter and lunacy when an unsuspecting
husband finds his slippery wife with her
stuttering lover. Previews October 13, 14, 15.
Plays Monday through Saturday October 16
to November 1.

QUEBEC AND ITS ENVIRONS:
Circulated by the Public Archives of Canada,
this exhibition consists of 31 water colours
and drawings executed about 1830 by English
officer amateur artist, James Pattison
Cockburn (1779-1847). His portrayal of
Quebec City and its surroundings provides an
important graphic record of the period.
Cockburn was one of the many British
military officers who received courses in
draughtsmanship during their training at
Woolwich, England. While ,there, Cockburn
studied under Paul Sandby, the acknowledg-
ed founder of the English school of
water -colourists. Throughout his posting in
Canada, Cockburn had much leisure time to
draw -- a fashionable pastime enjoyed by his
fellow officers.
The works in the exhibit were selected from
