The hunters from the south arrived in many ways. Some flew in via Timmins and Austin Airways and landed on a strip at Henneasy's Goose Camp right on the bay. Others flew to Mooeonee on a 00-3. The majority came on the Polar Express which departed from the train station in Cochrane on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The goose hunters were all met by Cree Indian guides who took them out in canoes to the "flau" of James Bay where they get up blinds and tents for the visitors.

One of our local neighbors, Doreen Thom Jordan, who is a campaign advisor for Brian Turnbull, says she is always happy to return home after a few winter months Burroughs triumphs in Winter Tan "riRitiirHG, the "scandalous" Canadian-made chronicle of the life and death in Mexico of Manse Hold. er, an American teacher and would-be author, is coming to Waterloo it year after its premiere at the 1987 Festival of Fetivals. Directed by a five-person team, including its star Jackie Burroughs, and award-winning cinematographer John Walker, the "experimental" movie is based on the posthumously published collection, entitle Give Sor. 'row Words, of Holder's letters to a Mead. Holder wrote the girl-talkish, confessional letters while drinking, dragging and sleeping her way through Mexico on a self-proclaimed "vacation from feminism." Her search for sex, and maybe love, has inspired Burroughs, a "had girl" in her own right, to give perhaps the blowout performance of her roller coaster career. Holder herself is a puzzle. her writing bounces between bad avant garde prose and passages of great insight, and her desire for immoratal- ity mixed with often melodramatic selfdostructiveness inspires both sympathy and disgust. No matter how demeaning it be- comes, she continues to wait for men that don't show up, to dance with and chase ridiculously young boys, and to court rejection from everything in pants. She is a sexuazy. middle-aged tourist, her skin hanging from her "like yellow, melting wax," but she doesn't give up. However you end up feeling about Maryse Holder, it is Jackie Burroughs who makes it happen, for it is she who singlehandedly carries - and triumphs in - this movie. Literally singlehandedly, because Burroughs is alone and rivetting on the screen for most of the rrlm. Even when she is with a lover or the occasional female friend, her presence rtlls each frame. Dressed is sleezy, faddish clothes too crazy even for someone half her age, her face dirty and llined with tan, Burroughs re-rre- Around Town Ted Rooney ates a shocking life and death, stun. ningly. She is the movie. In the first few scenes as Burroughs begins to recite Holder's often melo. dramatic prose, one wonders if she will be able to hold anyone's interest. It soon becomes evident, however - and this is the key to Burroughs' performance - that she understands Maryse Holder perhaps even better than Holder understood herself.

In some respects, the ftlrn is daring, not because its cinematic tricks are new but because they've been done to death and almost beg for ridicule. Burroughs often recites hom Holder's letters to perfect strangers or directly at camera, but she usually pulls it off without bringing a Bergman parody to mind. In a moment when all aspects of the film come together, Holder draws an analogy between a buMght and her relationships. It's grisly, but effective.
