End of an Era (Sam Tata) Overlord Embroidery

10th Century Stage of Brit- ain; Tue. - Sat., 10-5, Sun. 2-5 -- Free. .

(

Due to the fact that it is an embroidery, not much_ detail is shown and most of the faces are blank. It is a rather impressive piece of work though. The embroideryxis to be a pre- sent to the British nation for the Imperial War Museum. One of the exhibits on the second floor is End of an Era by Sam Tata. It is an excellent collection of 75 black and white photographs' of Shanghai between 1949 & 1953. Almost-all of the photographs are of the peo-

ple of the city, i.e. chil-'

’ dren, beggars, peddlers and

troops. It shows the comm- unist troops moving in and the conversion of the city, "into part of the communist state. It is surprising that even though all the pictures were taken during such turbulent times,none/ of the pictures have any’

violence in them. Tata is from Montreal and has been a free lance photographer since 1936.

The second exhibit on the‘ second deals with the Eig- hteenth Century;Stage in Great Britain. It consists of black and white pictures of the different actors, sets and theatres. They also have a few of the ori- ginal programs or small posters of many of the dif- ferent plays of the century.

The exhibit in the base- ment of the Confederation Center is a collection of artwork from Canadian yout- hs throughout the country. They are done in water col- our, crayon, charcoal and just about any other kind of medium that is possible. Many of them are very good, but the majority of them are the same as what you would see on the wall of any grade school ream.
