Had Three Sons Mr. and Mrs. Hopson oper- ated a market garden in Hur- on County from 1933-1948 when they moved to Bayfield and opened a green grocery store until increasing ill health resulting from war service forc- ed Mr. Hopson to retire. The couple had three sons, Robert David, who was lost at sea during World War II, Arthur who resides in Vancou- ver, B.C., and Oliver living at Glenbernie, Ont., who with their families visited their par- ents for the week. Mr. and Mrs. Hopson have 11 grandchildren and one great- grandchild. Many Messages Congratulatory messages were received from BuCking- ham Palace, Gov. General Van- ier, Prime Minister Pearson, the Hon. J. Diefenbaker, Prem- ier Robarts, the Minister of Highways, C. S. MacNaugh- ton MPP, the Warden and members of Huron County Council, Branch 140 of the Royal Canadian Legion, and Trustees of the Village of Bay- field. Mr. Elston Cardiff, MP Hur- on-Perth, and Mrs. Cardiff cal- led in person to bring their congratulations. Mr. Hopson, on his doctor's advice, was obliged to remain in bed and permitted to re- ceive only a few intimate friends. Over 150 people signed the Summer Residents Hold Tea "Shangri-La" with its lofty ceiling and old-world charm was the setting for afternoon tea on Thursday, August 20. The purpose was to honour Mrs. George Hopson who with her husband celebrated 'their Golden Wedding Anniversary on August 19. The tea was given by a group of ladies who are summer resi- By GWILYM ARCHER The least well-attended of the four plays being presented at Stratford this year is "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme". There are a number of reas- ons for this. For one, its title discouraged many who mistak- enly assumed the play was in French — whereas it is in fact being presented in an English translation — and for another, Moliere, just is not everybody's favorite. However, if tickets to "Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme" are the only ones available, don't despair. It is well worth the trip to see this piece of social satire Which Stratford has pro- duced as an hilarious, fantast- ical comedy. "Le Bourgeon Gentilhomme" is a romp, a farce wilt hoccas- ional music; it could perhaps be called the first musical com- edy, for the music comple- ments much of the dialogue. Although it is a play about social distinctions, the director, Jean Gascon, has given us an extravagant production, in wh- ich everything is treated light- ly and with a great deal of zest. That this is at the cost of much of Moliere's satire is unfortunate, but unavoidable if the play is to be readily comprehensible to a modern audience. by Mrs. W. Aberhart, Mrs. R. G. Hunter, Mrs. W. Tillmann, and Mrs. R. R. Willock. Many Flowers The steps leading to the en- trance hall were flanked by 'baskets of coral snapdragons and white gladioli, a colour scheme repeated in the interior decorations. The tea-table was covered with a pale green damask cloth and centred with an art- istic floral arrangement of white gladioli accented with overtones of green. Pouring tea were Mrs. R. G. Hunter, Mrs. R. R. Willock, Mrs. W. Aberhart and Mrs. W. Tillmann. On The Record The event was placed on rec- ord by Master Richard Himel with his movie camera. Guests numbering over 50 in- cluded Mrs. G. Sharp, Burling- ton, who was maid of honour at her sister's wedding. Bulletin Drama Critic The Stratford company has always been adept at broad comedy, and here they look as if they are having the time of their lives as they sing, dance, prance, and sword-fight th:eir way across the stage. Eric House, Leo Ciceri, Mervyn Bl- ake, and William Needles, are all hilarious as the vain and unscrupulous teachers who take advantage of Jourilain's obsession with the social grac- es. However, Douglas Rain is disappointing as M. Jourdhin, the bourgeois with newly ac- quired convey the naivety and romanticism which are so much a part of Jourdain's character; instead he is too obviously thf graceful, intelligent actor try- ing to appear clumsy a a d rough Helen Burns, who hardly looks like a Nicole, is never- theless wonderfully funny as Jourdain's maid. She only need- ed to give a grimace,. or a ges- ture, to bring forth laughter from the audience, no matter what else was happening on the stage. Also outstandirig were the costumes, the often tricky dances staged by Alan Lund, and Gabriel Charpent- ier's witty music. Recently the Stratford man- agement changed the title of the play to "The Middle-Class Gentleman” in an attempt to boost attendance. It appears to have worked, for there were few empty seats at the per- mance we attended, and en- quires at the box office dis- closed that ticket sales have much improved. This is as it should be, for good Moliere in English as a rare treat.
