THE T1MES-AIWOCATE, EXETER, ,ONTARIO, THURSDAY ^MORNING, OCTOBER 13, 19$5 The PEEP SHOW •So Henry V IS being PrOduced next allner at the Stratford Featival. The title of one of Shakespeare's most famous hist - Ory plays recalls at onee the sup- erb •performance by Lawrence Olivier in the film of the same narae. Perhaps he will be invited to re-croate the title role at the Canadian Stratford. It seems in- evitable that he and his wife Viv- en Leigh, will perform there sooner or" later. This play, which lent Itself So well to the medium Of Motion Picture, taxes the imagination of the audience to the maximum. Indeed, the Prologue himself states: "On your imaginary forces work... Think when we talk of ltorSeS, that you see them„ Printing their proud hoofs In the receiving earth. For 't is your thoughts that now Must deck our kings, Carry them here and there, jump- ing o'er time, Turning the accomplishment of many years Into an hourglass." With this cha.lienge, Shakes- peare begins to weave his magic. And so we meet the mighty Henry the delightful Katherine, the id- iot King of France, the ribald Nym and Bardolph. The play offers a wide scope Lyric Theatre Phone 421 Previews Its Coming Attractions THURS., FRI. & SAT., October 13, 14 and 15 ••.

X. POUTER for the imaginative costume de- signer. The audience is presented to the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Courts of England and France as well as the great battlefield of Agincourt, where France was won from England. Surely with a combination of some of the author's greatest poetry, brilliant costumes, char- acters that range from the hum- orously vulgar to the severest dig- nity. Henry V will be one of Stratford's most magnificent re- creations. To turn matters nearer home. Gwen Whilsmith, president of the Players Guild and director of its first play, told me the other day that Donald Sinclair of Guelph expects to be here next Saturday as a critical observer at the re- hersals of "Angel Street." Sev- eral will recall he was the judge at the one act festival last winter. Certainly with the energy and skill of the director and the val- uable ,suggestions of this exper- ienced and capable person, the play will be worthwhile. 'Recreating a Victorian drawing room requires considerable wdrk on the part of the set designer. The Guild is fortunate in haring Ralph Sweitzer to assume that job. Gerry Godbolt, of Godbolt Acres, is chiefly responsible for the lighting. (I say "chiefly" be- cause I am supposed to help him, although 1 know nothing about electricity.) In this play the light- ing is of great importance, for the dimming of the gaslight in- dicates that the murderer is in the house. The greatest mystery is not the play itself but how Gerry is going to dim a gaslight on a table in the middle of the stage. Next week, I'll be able to give a blow by blow description of a rehearsal.
