Perry could soon by the beer'com- mercial capital of the world! It wasn't too long ago that camera crews moved in on Queen Street to film a Miller commercial, seen wedged between football and hockey games all over the country. And on Monday morning, similar crews set up shop on Queen Street, this time to film an Old Vienna Beer commercial. Ac ally, two commercials were being filmed, both with a small-town theme---one involving small-town billiards, and another involving small-town baseball. According to assistant-producer Paula Lazzeri of The Partners Film Company, the commercials will be made up of a series of vignettes, on- ly a few of which involve Port Country \' Chords Country Chords, is a chapter of Harmony Inc., which is a Ladies Barbershop Organization.

The actual game in the baseball sequence, for example, was shot in Etobicoke. Port Perry backgrounds included Daisy's Fabrics, made up to look like an old-time fruit market or grocery store; the .. .ne Hardware building, designed to look more old- fashioned, and a parking metre scene on Queen Street (even though Queen Street doesn't acutally have any parking metres on it). Advertising agencies recom- mended Port Perry to the film pro- ducers several weeks ago when they were looking for a small town suitable for the filming. Ms. Lazzeri says as soon as her co-workers saw Queen Street, they knew they found the perfect atmosphere they were looking for. . . She also says the commercial should be on the air 'by mid-August or the end of August by the latest. But she recommends that local viewers pay close attention to the vignettes in order to recognize familiar sights. No signs will be in sight throughout the commercial. "They'll have to watch very fast and know what they're looking for," she says. We'll be watching!
