Montreal Billy Eckstine played piano on stage at different theatres. Some­ Bernie in his solo chamber - The Venus 3/10 Wurlitzer came into prominence with the re­ times you were able to hear Norton lease of the film "My Wife Said 'THAT'S ENOUGH!' ." The flicker short was preemed at the 1968 ATOS Convention in Los Angeles and one of the memorable moments was Bernie's (Buddy) Payne, who used to play the booming, triumphal laughter when his months of installation were behind him. The film had Palace, Capitol, and Imperial Theatres one glaring fault; it failed to characterize Bernie's long-suffering wife as the spoilsport of the title. In fact she gets on very well with the monster which occupies so much of the Venus abode. in Montreal in the silent days. My brother Alfred was an avid organ fan and had quite a collection of 78's of Jesse Crawford, Dick Leibert and Eddie Dunstedter. I recall one Christmas eve when Alf pulled me on a sled three miles to pick up two 10-inch discs he had ordered for Christ­ mas. They were "Tip-Toe Through the Tulips", and "Body and Soul", and were played all through the Christmas holidays. I remember getting interested in theatre organs after hearing some of Alfs English recordings of Quentin MacLean, Sidney Torch, and Reg. Foort. This started me reading organ books and sending away for photos of theatre organists. The last thing my father said to me as I boarded the train for Halifax to embark for England at the beginning of World War II was, "While you are traveling around keep in mind that England has a lot of theatre organs THEATRE ORGAN still playing." As soon as I landed in sent me to Italy, but not before I met our base area, I hit out for the nearest my future wife, Elaine, while visiting town which turned out to be Woking, the famous Blackpool Tower Wur­ Surrey.

  • AMELIA Or: Who Do Той Think Той Are? Documentary and Identity in Canadian Literature Stephen Scobie
    AMELIA or: Who Do Той Think Той Are? Documentary and Identity in Canadian Literature Stephen Scobie A,.LICE MUNRO'S TITLE Who Do You Think You Are? is one of those finely balanced phrases which subtly shift their meanings depending on which of the six words receives the major stress : Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are ? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are ? These various emphases transform the phrase from its pejorative use, to crush presumptuousness, into a serious question on the puzzle of identity. Is identity created by external, objective forces — what other people think you are — or by internal, subjective forces — what you yourself think you are? If you decide to alter your identity by thinking yourself into a new role, how do you go about making this new you manifest to the world? Such questions are pervasive in Munro's book, and they surface even at points where the attention might seem to be focused elsewhere. For instance, the story "Wild Swans" is principally about the bizarre and disturbing circumstances of Rose's sexual abuse by a strange man on a train ; yet the last page of the story is almost totally concerned with the puzzle of identity. The man has claimed to be a minister, but is not dressed as one : that is, his assertion of identity is not backed up by any external evidence. "Was he a minister, really," Rose wonders, "or was that only what he said? Flo had mentioned people who were not ministers, dressed up as if they were.
