Imported china, glassware, pottery and linens. Unsolved murders and the foggy streets of London in 1880 blend together to make Angel Street a real Victorian thriller. This production opens tonight at the Playhouse and runs through July 21. Bella Manningham is the lady of the house on Angel Street and she seems to be slowly losing her mind. She dreams, she loses things, she plays silly little tricks and then forgets ever having done them. However, it soon becomes obvious that her diabolical husband has a calculating plan to drive his wife crazy. Mr. Manningham is a' known philanderer, and is methodically and systematically' driving his bride out of her, mind, Onto this scene comes Detective Sergeant Rough on the trail • of an unsolved murder of 15 years ago. Rough suspects Man- ningham of mentally toi•- turing Bella', The problem is to find evidence against Manningham because all the signs indicate that he will soon become tired of playing games with her and do something about it. St. Joseph Continued from page lA and he died penniless. Napoleon Cantin stillbeliev- es that the canal proposed by his grandad from St. Joseph to Port Stanley is a good idea. Many of the other plans put forth by Narcisse were used when the seawaywas finally opened in 1959. In many ways, Narcisse Cantin was a man about 50 years ahead of his time. Many of his plans were blocked by powerful railroad companies, his grandson says. "An awful lot of money was spent, but nothing materialized." Napoleon Cantin adds. Narcisse's seaway plans didn't take shape for many years after his death, and his dream of resort areas on Lake Huron's shores have' just come true in recent years. Even the two new shops in St. Joseph are thoroughly rooted in Cantin history. The Towerhouse sells gifts, and handicrafts, The old house was built by a Mr. Bissonette, one of Narcisse's investors. When he left the house was taken over by the Cantin family, and it was here that Napoleon was raised. It is npw owned by Alec and Katherine Bickerton, and they feature Canadian made souvenirs. Mrs. Bickerton also sells homemade' Sbortbread* and marmalade. • Across the street, Brian and Suzanne Stevens have opened a gift and antique shop in the old Cantin House, Mrs. Bickerton calls them "associates, not com- petition." The Stevens came to Canada from Britain five years ago, and their store features items both old and new imported from Britain, The Steven's 14 year old daughter Nikki looks after the shop for her parents when they're away. Nikki says she likes St. Joseph, and enjoys living in the old Cantin house. "It's supposed to have ghosts, and everything," she says. But that doesn't frighten her, she adds. • Unfortunately, though, some of her friends are frightened by the ghost of St, Joseph, she says. And those friends are the descendants of Narcisse Cantin. A HOLE IN ONE — Oakwood resident Scott Sullivan had the highlight of his brief golf career as he scored a hole-in-one at the first hole of the Oakwood Golf Course Thursday. Accor- ding to the 15 year old the five iron shot hit about five feet in front of the hole and rolled in. Sullivan's playing partners were Charlie Whitelaw, Jamie MacLean and Eric Burpee.
