Author-politician Sir Fitzroy Maclean, host at the gala re- ception, said of the 41-year-old native of Medicine Hat, Alta., "TI honestly believe there is no greater exponent of photo- graphic art living today." The extibition of 74 photo- graphs of the world's architec- tural treasures, titled The World of Roloff Beny, is a se- jection from Beny's three pub- lished books--richly - produced evocations of Greece, the Medi- terranean civilization and the East which now are in transla- tion in 11 languages. Sponsored by the National Gallery of Canada, the exhibi- tion goes to Toronto early in 1966 and then will visit Vancou- ver, Charlottetown and Ottawa before the end of the year. Later it goes to New York and Australia. The splashy opening party in fashionable Knightsbridge was attended by some 250 society- page names, many of whom have been photographed by Beny. Sarah Churchill, actress daughter of the late Sir Wins- ton, gras among the guests to launch the exhibition, which raise@ money for the Churchill Memorial Fund. Lord Snowdon, photographer husband of Princess Margaret, was unable to attend the open- ing because it clashed with the royal couple's visit to the United States. He sent a con- gratulatory note to Beny. During its first week the show proved successful enough to have its run extended to five weeks from the scheduled three. The closing date now is Dec. 11. It also proved immediately productive for Beny, who now moves among the world's lead- ing art figures and operates from a 12-roomed penthouse studio overlooking the River Tiber in Rome's picturesque Trastevere quarter. Three Brit- ish publishers have asked him to contribute to new photo- graphic books. Sunday Times art critic John Russell praised the exhibition, first of a series of such artistic ventures to be mounted by fab- rics tycoon Sir Nicholas Sekers in his newly-designed London |showroom, Sir Nicholas was knighted this year for his ac- tive patronage of the arts. The pictures all display that feeling for textures and forms that Beny brought to photo- graphy from his earlier career as a painter. Critic Raymond Mortimer says he can be said to "'sketch with his lens." In London the display was strikingly mounted against a blaze of brilliant silk fabrics in peacock colors. Several of the patterns were inspired by tex- tures in the phetographs. These special fabrics are to be promoted in Canada next year by Eaton's department store, and the Eaton family has also commissioned the book of Canadian photographs Beny is assembling for centennial year in 1967, to be titled There is a Season -- A Photographer in Search of Canada. Beny, who has already cov- ered 50,000 miles of his home- land in periodic work, on the book during the last three years, flies to Canada in mid- December to finish the project. He pill be spending most of his time in the eastern cities, seeking to convey through the camera '"'what Canada means in the future' and the country's role in world affairs. He de- scribes the Canadian assign- ment as "the most difficult thing I have ever done." "Canada is so elusive, so empty, so beautiful. Japan, now, has 2,000 years of history to record." Along with his Canadian pro- ject, Beny has been working on a similar book about Japan, commuting three ways to and from Rome, Tokyo and Tor- onto. He is one of some 20 top in- ternational photographers, in- cluding Britain's Lord Snowdon and France's Cartier-Bresson, who have been asked to con- tribute to the Montreal world exhibition in 1967. He has sub- mitted 143 photographs from his work in 38 countries for con- sideration by the selection com- mittee. Olio Schwariz GUNSMITH & a fatroducing Germany's Finest Merkel .

WHERE Most For Your MONEY GOOD BOY FURNITURE MART Get The 728-5712 Commercial 'Image' Haunts Actors Seeking Other Roles By CYNTHIA LOWRY NEW YORK (AP) -- It has been several years since Betty Furness quit her well-paid job of demonstrating refrigerators and other household appliances in television commercials to pick up the threads of her per- forming career. But everybody in show business remembers the problems she had in dissociat- ing herself from her sponsor. Her experience was not unique. Last season a_ well- known comedian was skipped because he had been for two profitable seasons the official TV spokesman for a laundry product. But commercials pay well in- deed. It is possible te spot some well - known faces in the cur- rent crop of commercials. The question is whether we, the viewers, find stars believable. Few of us, obviously, believe that Jane Withers is really a lady plumber. Or that Skip Homeier, a popular guest star' on the top TV shows, summers as a camp counsellor. Or that Pat Englund, who last season was a sharp satirist in high fashion clothes on That Was The Week That Was, is just an aproned housewife. AREN'T HAPPY Sponsors are not happy when an actor in the entertainment portion of shows is closely iden- tified with another product, even a non-competitive one. Arnold Stang, the comedian who has a busy career in films, television and radio, believes that if a performer handles himself right in a commercial and is not over-exposed, it need not put brakes to other facets of his occupation. Currently he is appearing in a series of sales on television, but in each one he is acting a different character. "At least, I don't get typed," he said. '"'And I do think that there is a value in having a well-known person in the com- mercials--or there would be if they were used right. "Tf they are willing to pay these exorbitant fees they should use them in more ways than they do." And profitable indeed are many voices. Herschel Ber- nardi, once Lieutenant Jacobi in Peter Gunn, estimated that he was making more than $100,- 000 a year playing the voices of such characters as an insecure tuna fish and a jolly giant.
