It was to feature two plays from Canada, Great Britian and France as well as two American plays as a salute to the Bicentennial. "Madame Chairman" by Edmonton playwright Warren Graves, which was to premiere at the Playhouse, has been can- celled, because of the lack of funds. "Madame Chairman" requires "more rehearsal time than we can now afford. It's a matter of cutting frills from a program that has none," said Playhouse director James Murphy. The new play has been replaced with another comedy, "The Mumberly Inheritance" described as "a good-time melodrama" that will run from July 21 to July 24.
