It should be noted that the fig- ure of 20 does not include a certain Ed Vereb who is still working for Uncle Sam and is not expected to show up for a while yet. So there you have it — Clem has his chop- ping all cut out- for himself. These then are the things that we know for sure. xt xt xt things in. About the other PAUL CAMERON the WIFU we know almost as_ little. The most popular word in this league at the moment is “building.” Everybody is doing it. “Pop” is gone and Edmonton has to get used to a new paternal figure. Fil- chuk was fired and _ the Roughriders have to get fired up. Winnipeg lost the exhibi- tion games and that is a sign of nothing at all. Calgary is also building, so there you are. Despite the words that “a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing” we should like to join Bruce York in the stick-your-neck- out department. (It should be noted that old Bruce played it pretty cagey. He waited until more than half the sea- son was over before making his prediction). This then, is how we see it! The Esks in first place — as per usual. They will be followed by Winnipeg andl after Winni- peg, lo and behold, the Lions. If this part of the predic- tion works out then the crys- tal ball shows the Leos so steamed up that they might just make the finals. On the other hand, if the first part of the prediction goes. kerflunk, the “Crowe must Go” cards of last year will be dusted of and some pretty big fellows will join the ranks of the unemployed All that might happen to me is that I shall not be in- vited to do a guest Sportlight column next year. International Film Festival proves most popular Centennial event By N. E. STORY The Vancouver Interna- Film packed house at its opening last Monday night. And it is Festival played to a to be hoped that the general enthusiasm and interest indi- cated by the opening night’s attendance will continue — both for the success of annual festivals and as an eye-open- er to the commercial distribu- tors: The festival fully measures up artistically to expectations. There are some 90 films from 20 countries in the five cate- gories: Story Feature, mentary, Children’s, Experi- mental and TV films. A pla- que (designed by Vancouver artist, Bill Read, in a Coast Indian motive) will be pre- sented to the best film in each Docu- category; and certificates of merit to others. Of the 17 story features (some of which will be shown more than once), no less than seven have been acclaimed as great films. The remaining features are mainly outstand- ing works and even the weak- est Carve Her Name With Pride and Tale of Two Cities) are not without interest. The most exciting event of the festival is Pather Ban- chali, one of the _ greatest films ever made. Filmed in the Bengali countryside, Sa- tyajit Ray’s account of the life of a poor clerk, his family and milieu is a deeply moving masterpiece told with pene- trating insight. Harp of Burma, a Japanese film with a powerful anti- war theme, has a spell-bind- ing effect unbroken until the concluding scenes. It is set Gee, St. Eloi inquiry choices George Gee, former electri- cal workers’ leader, will rep- resent plumbers, and J. R. St. Eloi, plumbers’ leader, will represent electrical workers on the commission of inquiry being established by the pro- vincial government to probe disputes in the construction industry. Gee was business manager of Electrical Workers Local 213 until his arbitrary re- moval from office by the in- ternational union executive three years ago. St. Eloi is business manager of the plumbers’ union. Yaar in Burma at the time of Japa- nese surrender in 1945. Don Quixote, with Nikolai Cherkassov as the Don and Tolubeyev as Sancho is the best Soviet entry. It accomplishes the amazing task (considering the sprawling size of the book) of creating unified character and them- atic development in = fully cinematic terms; a most satis- fying film both for adults and children. . Porte Des Lilas, Rene Clair’s latest and brilliant interpreta- tion of ordinary Parisians; Nine Lives, a visually and dramatically exciting account of Second World War resist- ance fighter Jan Baalsrud’s ordeal in fleeing the Germans in winter (from Norway; and Throne of Blood (Japan), made by Akira Kurosawa (Rashomon) about the story of McBeth; are all great films The Cranes Are Flying, which opened the festival, is also a great film in its own right with its exuberant cine- matic poetry, although not quite up to the exalted stand- ards of the six films listed above. This picture, incident- ally, will begin its commer- cial run at Vancouver’s Park Theatre on August 25.
