Marshall Colt (from the now defunct Lot- tery TV series) makes his film debut as the hus- band/father of the family but is killed off before anyone in the audience can remove their coats. The producers, ap- parently fearing that a Restricted rating might be attached to the film, just hint at an incestuous rela- tionship between the oldest of the two children, but this doesn't diminish the story.

Clerk-Administrator Page 12, Wednesday, December 30, 1987 This clearly defined good guy/bad guy style of filmak- ing is very effective and at the showing which I at- tended you could feel the tension in the air. It is not an escapist, forget your troubles, kind of movie but one that will make you feel like you've been through an emotional wringer. Great filmaking. Rating: ***% soon Budd Watson wants everyone to know the rumor about him isn't true. He's not leaving town. The world-renowned Midland photographer says he has been the sub- ject of such a rumor since word leaked that he was opening a gallery in near- by Collingwood. "Tm glad you came when you did," Watson said last Wednesday as he worked frantically on some prints due to be delivered later in the day. "You can help me kill that rumor going around that I'm leaving Midland. I'm not." But yes, he said, the part about him opening a new shop in Collingwood is definitely true. It will be tucked away in a new, upscale specialty-store plaza on the town's main street where Budd hopes to tap in on the booming year- round tourist trade. "Collingwood must be one of the busiest small towns in Ontario," he said in his basement workshop in his 520 Hugel Avenue gallery. "The main street there is still alive and well.' Unfor- tunately, said Watson, the main street of Midland isn't exactly bustling dur- ing the winter. Watson said he is hoping to channel some of the "yuppie money" readily available because of the rich city skiers in Coll- ingwood into his store. "That age bracket appeals to me - and that income bracket appeals to me."' The shop should be open soon. "The store is ready; the photos are hanging, we're almost ready. I'm go- ing to give Collingwood a royal try,' he said. He'll employ one full-time and maybe one _ part-time employee, says Budd. But he'll still spend the majori- * ty of his time in Midland. However, said Watson when interviewed that busy day, he may soon be selling his landmark Hugel Avenue gallery and mov- ing into a renovated house/studio owned by his late father. The gallery, reputed to be the largest privately- owned photographic gallery in North America, is too large and too expen- sive to keep up, 'he said. It's especially hard to heat in the cold months. But one thing that may keep him in his Midland gallery for now is a huge project under considera- tion by Kodak Canada. Watson, always full of surprises, says if he gets the go-ahead from the giant photographic company, he will need his studio for two years to prepare "the largest show by an in- dividual photographer." "I'm breaking very heavy ice," he said. "Kodak has A THE ¢ China Stoneware Crystal Flatware Nurseryware 711 Yonge St., Midland We've got what you're looking for... And so much more...

I've found a big crack in the ice and I'm pushing it at full power." He said he'll know some time this week whether the show will proceed as planned. He's not keen on releasing any more details, but says a green light on the deal will prevent him from taking any more new orders on prints for two years. "It's something so big they really have been think- ing about it for two years." He says he's already had two offers to buy the gallery, which used to house the Midland YMCA and is now the largest business in the downtown core. "If I don't get the Kodak project, I will seriously consider selling," he said. "I can't afford the overhead. It's just killing me." And sometimes he gets so caught up in his studio work,said Watson, he even has to sleep overnight there. "This is totally ab- surd and I'm going to quit. I'm supposed to be a photographer and I don't want to be a gallery operator." " e Plates ¢ Napkins e Table Covers * Horns ¢ Hats © Noise Makers ¢ Streamers ': for a.unique party ex- "<* perience.
