Phase One of AGO seems destined to suc- ceed enormously in this area. There is a licensed dining lounge, a cafeteria, large comfortable washroom facil- ities and a beautifully ap- pointed members' lounge overlooking the refurnished Walker Court. Windows and comfortable sitting areas complete the cheery contemp- orar image. Nothing remains of t e cold, slightly musty atmosphere of the old gallery which often labelled gallery enthusiasts as masochists. In fact, wandering back into what was by now a raucous party fairly jumping with Dixieland music, I smiled at the contrast. I don't believe I ever heard anyone speak above a whisper in the old gallery. Films, lectures and discus- sions are planned for the new 150 seat Moore lecture hall. The Gallery School is operat- ing after a year's hiatus. Moore scholars from all over the world are expected to come to use the superb research facilities. In fact, the $12.75 million spent by the Ontario government seems to be having a ripple effect that will reach all of us and definitely improve the quality of life in Ontario. As Director Willaim J.
