An abundance of laughs,
excellent characterizations
and fine summer's night all
combined well Wednesday
for the first production at the
Huron Country Playhouse.
Philip Kings "Pools
Paradise" as directed by
Playhouse managing
director James Murphy is a
farce done in the finest
English tradition wih the
laughs following each other
in quick succession. It is the
type of play which this
theatre company knows
best; entertainment for
entertainment's sake.
Murphy has assembled a
cast which gave a virtually
flawless performance before
the capacity opening night
crowd.
Trudy Cameron in the role
of Penelope Toop a former
actress come-wife of a
bungling minister in a small
parish is quite competent in
a role which could be easily
over-played with possible
disastrous effects for the
entire show. Ms. Cameron
comes across well as Toop's
sensual partner.
Almost stealing the show
was Jennifer Austin in the
role of Ida, the slightly
scatter-brained maid who in
concert with her boy friend
Willie Briggs (Peter
Millard) and Mrs. Toop win
260,000 pounds in an English
soccer pool almost un-
beknownst to Reverend Toop
who abhors gambling,
Throughout the evening
Austin was continually in the
forefront which was not
surprising considering her
striking good looks and her
rendition of a talkative,
highly strong, Cockney
Roaring 20's
at Grand Cove
Grand Cove Estates in.
Grand Bend used the roaring
20's as the theme for a party
this month. More than 120
attended, half in period
costumes, to watch the
antics of a chorus line of
charlston era, composed of
Margeurite Perkins, Trudy
McParlan Pat Young, Marie
Weetman, Marian
McFadden an Muriel Hunt.
Also a barbershop quintet,
of Bill Timmerman, Pat
Patchett, Ted Hunt, Bill
Taylor and Chuck Wallen,
sang several of the old songs,
Dave Sheppard, in costume,
played piano music of the
20's for dancing.
Two hundred residents of
the modular home park hold
two parites a month. The
mid month affair is a bir-,
thday for everyone
celebrating that month and a
theme party at end of each
month. The July party will
have a Western theme and
cowboy outfits will be the
order of the day.
Library news
Summer Library Club is
coming to grand, Bend
library in July. This is an
activities program for 8 to 12
year old children, which will
be held successive Mondays,
July 9th July 16th and July
23rd. The programs will be
held in the mornings from
9.30 to 11.30 a.m.
Registration fee for the
series is $2.00.
July 9th program will be a
variety, July 16th will be
making and creating pup-
pets and July 23, will be
"Christmas in July".
All summer visitors are
welcome,
"bird". It shows that Austin
recently completed acting
school in the British Isles.
The role of Reverend Toop
is interpreted well by
veteran Playhouse actor
Stanley Coles. Contrary to
what happens in the real
world, the image of Toop as a
bungling idiot is im-
mediately impressed upon
,the audience when in the
opening scene Toop half falls
down a set of stairs after
exercising his energy and
money saving fetish,
Coles gives a good, solid
performance.
Coming across as the best
of the "straight" persons in
the farce was Jenny Turner
as Miss Skillon, the 50'ish
spinster who is after the
Reverend. The scene at the
end of Act One is memorable
with Toop coming into the
house with bandages galore
after falling over Skillon's
bike,
Millard in the role as the
hick Briggs comes across
well with his performance
during the pool winning
scene worthy of note.
Drew Russell as the
Reverend Arthur Hum-
phrey, Toop's replacement
after his bicycle encounter
offers a top notch per-
formance as the befuddled,
elderly member of the clergy
who fell into the madness at
the Toop residence quite by
accident.
If there is a weakness in
"Pools Paradise" it has to
be the performance by Jay
MacDonald as the Bishop of
Lax. While MacDonald has
the admittedly difficult task
of maintaining a degree of
civility in this madness,
MacDonald appeared to
have little of the spirit which
infected the other members
of the cast and the audience.
The setting by Christopher
Brown was a reasonable
rendition of what one would
imagine a vicar's house to
be, while the wardrobe by
Nancy Hodgins was good
especially Brigg's suit.
Never a more gaudy com-
bination of clothing has been
seen on the stage at the
Playhouse.
Go see "Pools Paradise";
just for the fun of it.
Ellen Tatham, of Van-
couver is visiting at her
sister's home here, Mr, and
Mrs. Ian Davis in Southcott
pines. On the week-end a
Tatham family reunion was

Grand Bend Senior
Citizens party entertaining
Zurich Seniors to a
smorgasbord supper and
program, Tuesday evening,
at St. John's Parish hall was
a huge success with 84 in

is to be commended on a
wonderful job with both food
and entertainment.
Those taking part in the
program were Ross and Nola

Holt and Alex Hamilton. This
included sing songs, solo's
duet's instrumental, violin
selections and a reading by
Susie Devine, dedicated to
Sr. Citizens and written and
composed by the late Mrs.
Grace Lawrance.
One of the skits was per-
formed when a prominent
member donned a dapper
hat and moustache, stepped
up to the mike and sang, "All
the girls go crazy over me."
When the song was finished
the audience brought down
the house with clapping and
shouting and laughter. A
perfect ending for an en-
joyable evening.
Games of cards and
crokinole were played,
Lorne Klopp thanked
Grand Bend on behalf of the
Zurich club.
