We'll be caught by Father time,
Old age was meant for everyone

With buoyant step, and legs like

I'd be young at sixty-three.
Yet now today it's happened
We must-take the bitter pill
As we take the final steps
Beyond the western hill.
Now we walk into the sunset.
We're on our own at last.
That unseen voice is calling,
Like an echo frord the past,
Once more for just a moment
We will hear that sweet refrain,

Letter to
the fditor
Pegasus flew on Wings of
comedy last Satnrday and
Sunday when his Players
presented ,john Dighton's THE
HARVEST DAYS OF YOUR
LIFE. The action in the play
takes place at Hillary Hall, an
English school for boys, during
the post-war "devacuation"
days, and grows out of a mistake
made by the MinistrYof
Education --the billeting of.St.
Swithins, a school for girls, with
the boys,
Happily, director Brian
Markson and his east rose to this
situation with its ensuing
complications to give me and the
other members of the audiences
an evening of laughs.
Though it is not customary to
do so in a review, I will list the
characters, the payers and my
comments on their work.
Dick Tassell (BRUCE
ABBOTT), good solid
performance, reactions to other
characters often telegraphed, not
wholly believable when talking
about or with Miss Harper.
, Rainbow (JOHN RANKIN),
' excellent throughout.
Rupert Billings (STAN
DUKES), good but inaudible
much of the time,
Godfrey Pond (PADRE
YOUMATOFF), ' excellent
throughout.
Miss Whitchurch (ANN
SCOTT), excellent throughout.
Miss Gossage (CATHY
RENSHAW), very good though
too squeaky and flighty when
trying to be seductive.
Hoperoft (GRANT
McNALLY), good but needs to
project more.
Barbara Cahoun (CAROL
WARNER), very good but
lacking in enthusiasm.
Joyce Harper (TILLIE
HACK), too understated.
Rev. Peck (BRIAN
LEADBEATER), very good
characterization but not loud
enough,
Mrs. Peck (SHIRLEY
DUKES), more volume
necessary.
Mr. Sowter (VINCE
CUNNINGHAM), excellent
characterization but laughs at his
own humorous lines.
Mrs. Sowter (JOYCE
NORMAN), more volume
necessary.
Congratulations are also in
order for Mr. Markson and his
set construction workers, Tom
Ingram, Jack Norman and Stan
Norman. Their set accurately
conveyed the stoic austerity of a
Masters' common room and in
no way intruded on the action
of the play.
When it comes to lighting,
however, I can offer no
congratulations. The lack of
light on the downstage playing
area was appalling and should
have been corrected during the
dress rehearsal.
Still, this one flaw does not
detract that much from a very
enjoyable performance, I hope
there will be others soon.
G. H. Atkinson.

ART'S SUPERTEST
The patrons who pecked the Pegasus Theatre at CFB
Clinton to see "The. Happiest Pays of Your Life' might be
excused this week if their sides are still Paling from too
.1111,4Ch laughter.
The hilarious presentation of the Pegasus Players could
Perhaps be faulted on one point, that it was lust too long,
Everything else was top rate,
Director Orian Markson did a good job of keeping the
farce in hand most of the time, though once in a while the
action did threaten to go too far,
The situation involved a boys' school after World War
Two which is forced to share its premises wjth a girls'
school which lost its home in a wartime bombing raid. The
hilarious consequences, make enjoyable viewing,
The set of Hillary Hall was simple but very effective and
Director Markson kept the action moving all over the
stage, not confined to one corner as often happens,
DUKES SUPERB
Did Stan Dukes as Rupert Billing, the woman-hating
assistant headmaster, have most of the best lines or did he
just make it 'seem that way? Dukes was the best performer
on the stage, delightfully underplaying his role just enough
to make his outrageous puns and punchy oneliners have
their best effect.
While several of the other actors tried a bit too hard,
Dukes seemed at home as his character and gave a
performance worthy of nearly any stage.
Ann Scott as Evelyn Whitchurch, the Principal of St.
Swithins, was as domineering as the part called her to be.
She did a "good job of showing her cool when she was
supposed to be and appearing completely flustered when
the situation deteriorated. She also had the added
advantage of being one of the few performers who
managed an English accent,
Padre Youmatoff as Godfrey Pond, the befuddled
headmaster of Hillary Hall put on a very funny show.
Tillie Hack did her role as the assistant principal of St.
Swithins School for Girls, justice while Bruce Abbott
showed his talent as her would-be beau, Dick Tassell but
perhaps tried too hard.
SMALL PART
BUT GOOD
Brian Leadbeater as the straight-laced Rev. Mr. Peck
made the most of his small part. Vince Cunningham as the
blustering Edgar Sowter could have had more effect if he
had not blustered quite so often.
But all the actors, even those in their first time on stage,
showed talent that will serve them well with a little more
experience. It's too bad we won't have the opportunity to
watch many of them as they continue their acting after
they leave here for other bases. Clinton could certainly use
more delightful nights like these.
