celebration cake will mark the 7th
anniversary of the Huron Country
Playhouse at the Tuesday, July
4th Opening. A capacity crowd is
expected to be in attendance at
the premiere . production, Neil
Simon's The Odd Couple.
Jack Duffy and Les Carlson star
in the, production about two men
wile move in together when their
marriages go on the rocks. It is a
hilarious study in incompatibility
because one (Oscar) is a slob'
while the other (Felix) is com-
pulsively neat.
Jack Duffy who's career has
taken- him from the night club
circuit as a singer with Tommy
Dorsey through radio to star of his
own T.V. show, "Here's Duffy",
plays Felix. Opposite him is Les
Carlson, whose recent ap-
pearance in the" television pro-
duction, Raku Fire, won him an
ACTRA award for Best Sup-
porting Actor. Both guest artists
appear at the Playhouse through
corporate assistance from Dis-
count Dave's Home Centre.
Stan Lacey, Alden Jones. Mur-
ray Ellis, Ann De Villiers, Marion,
Gilsenan, and David C. Douglas
complete the cast. James Murphy
directs the production with set-
ting by Alistair MacRae:
The fireworks display and
punch and cake will be served
directly after the performance to
the crowd of first nighters.
