PAGE 8, TH URSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1973, WH ITBY FR EE PRESS MONTREAL Hlave you ever thoughit of spendinig a week or two in this predomiuently French - speaking mnetropolis? Most likely uîot. This wvas my first reaction wheiu the'question was hurled at nie. But after having made several trips to Montreal, I'd think twice before saying no. It seems to me, mauîy people in Ontario carry the wrong idea about our French - speaking friends in Quebec. We bave been told, with some justification, that Quebecers are hostile towards English - speakiug Canad- ians and for tluat matter, towards everyone that hasn't mastered the cultural language. This notion, 1 have found out, is uîot quite true. Perbaps, because I'm flot an Anglo - Saxon. It is true, however, that a few years ago the nationalistic ideas were more prouîounced. Sonie incide- nts we re reported wbere Torontonians were refused - because they did not order their cup of coffee in French. CDC- WeilI, those are bygone days. Quebecers start to understand the importance of English - speaking guests, wlo happen to be also good custonmers in lhotels, restaurants and bars. Onîe cannot ignore the dollar sigius - a rather universal way of cummnications bctweeu nations of different cultural backgrounds. Recently, l'm glad to report, I re - discovered Monitreal. (Editor's ilote: Alex Kaluins lived ini Montreal for almost three years before making Ontario bis permanent' residence.) Over the years, mon - cite bias gained ain international reputation. First, it was Expo '67, niow the forthcomîing Olynmpie Gaines. Apart froin ail blockbusters, Montreal lias that unique 'charni wbich caiî be found only on the other side of the Atlanîtic. I amn particularly impressed with the Old Monitreal and the Gothic buildings that have managed to escape the wrecker's haminer. Though, it wou't be very long before the wlhole city will start to look like Brasilia. (The latter is one of the most modern cities in South America). When in Montreal, follow the French - speaking crowd. They know the best nightclubs, shops and entertaininent palaces. Allow .plenty of turne for sight- seeing aud dou't forget that Mouitreal thrives on cultural activities. For best information, you can rely on two English language newspapers, The Montreal Star and the Gazette.

Carpenters built the set, moved it into Studio 7 for the W & S taping a few days later.
