The performance will precede the theatre's annual Monte Carlo Night which has become the traditional pre- season Opening event, After two days of preview performances, June 24 and 25, the curtain officially goes up on June 26th with Noel Coward's classic comedy private Lives. The play celebrates its 50th an- niversary in 1980 and also receives the distinction of being the first play to be revived at Grand Bend. It was produced at the theatre. In 1974, although Taylor- Smith is quick to point out • EV " I went to my first con- vention last week. I guess that makes me a full-fledged working person. When I was a student, we did similar things, but we called therin seminars. Anyway; that's why my column is a bit shorter this week. Because I was in Toronto for a few days, I've been a little pressed for time. So I won't be rambling on and on as I usually do. I came home from the convention with afew doubts about myself. I began to wonder if I was ever really cut out to be a newspaper person. After all, I don't smoke a, pipe or a cigar. This was a convention of the Ontario . Weekly Newspapers Association, and it's true, Many editors of Weekly newspapers are older, cigar smoking gentlemen. Some even wear bow ties. And I even saw reporters wearing fedoras and trench coats. Sometimes I felt that I didn't fit in at all. To make matters worse, I found myself in each seminar surrounded by the pipe and cigar smokers. All exhaling in my direction. Other than all the second hand smokq,, I enjoyed the convention very mudh. attended more seminars than hospitality rooms, and I think I may even have learned a thing or two. Like, did you know that "four bananas ain't three bananas and one elongated yellow fruit?" This was the topic of one of the seminars. The speaker was professor Walter Brovald of the school of journalism at the University of Minnesota. He was trying to impress upon editors and that the1980 version is an all- new production, Private Lives will play until July 5, Contemporary comedy takes over for the rest of July. From July 8 to 19th, Neil Simon's hit The Sun- shine Boys is scheduled. Same Time Next Year, Bernard Slade's popular hit which is still running on. Broadway, follows from July 22 to August 2. - The season's fourth play will be the Ontario premiere of a new Canadian comedy, Free At Last. The play, by Vancouver humorist Eric Nicol, has played to en- thusiastic audiences on beth coasts and Huron County Playhouse is pleased to be able to offer this farcical tale of male menopause to nummumskan reporters t e importance of not using complicated phrases and words when a simple word will do. His "banana versus elongated yellow fruit" was an example he actually found in a newspaper. ' One thing that this professor stressed is that sentences should not go on and on past more than 20 words 'because quite often if a reporter should write a long sentence which is more than 20 words in a newspaper the reader might have dif- ficulty understanding what it is that the reporter is trying tq say, and as a reporter it is important to make things as easy as possible for the readers, because if the paper' is difficult to read, then the readers won't read it, and if nobody reads it, the reporter will find himself out of a job. Interesting concept, eh? Before I left for Toronto, I had an interview with Pat Wood, one of the charter members of the newly for- med Professional Dog Trainers Association of Canada. Pat lives in South- cott Pines in Grand Bend, and, a story on the P.D.T.A. ..appears. elsewhere in this - paper, Pat' is a profeisional dog trainer, and she says she'd like to organize a. class in basic dog obedience in the Grand Bend area. Now for those of you who read my long story in last week's column of how I chased my overgrown puppy, Pepper, around Bosanquet township, you'll know how interested I'd be in a dog obedience class. Without hesitation I told Pat I'd enroll Pepper, if she gets the class going. But my husband was less enthusiastic. I guess some people just don't like to admit that their cute little dog might need some discipline. (Remember, he wasn't the one who had to spend half a day searching for the cute little mutt.) But Victor thinks that he could teach Pepper anything Pepper needs to know himself, So while I was in Toronto at the convention, the lessons began. I came home to a darling springer spaniel that can now "shake a paw." Everytime you sit down, the black and white animal will now sit down in front of you and continuously push a huge paw in your lap until you shake it. This dog has talent. An emergency meeting with Canada's newly-elected Prime Minister has been requested by the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. In the letter last week, OFA President Ralph Barrie urged Prime Minister! Trudeau to move quickly to cushion the effects of high interest rates on farmers. "Emergency measures should be put in place im- mediately to forestall economic disaster for far- mers, especially young and beginning farmers," Barrie said, Barrie congratulated the receive a positive response regarding the grant ap- plication. Among the tentative plans for the young players are special cabaret per. formances after the Friday night regular production and a special production of the hit musical Flicks, ten- tatively scheduled for August 24, 25 and September 1, James Saar, the author of Flicks has consented to direct the production. He will be remembered as the author and director of the special production Backstage during the 1979 season. Playhouse business manager Marc Quinn an- nounced that current sub- scription sales are 200 above last year at this time. "Phase one and phase two of the 1980 subscription campaign have produced'853 subscribers to date," he said. "Phase one was the end-of-season campaign last year which used an insert in the program of our sold out production of The Sound of Music. Phase two was a pre- Christmas mailing to all previous buyers and several householder mailings." Phase three, the spring campaign, is chaired by Mrs. Bettie Gibbs, of Parkhill. Her committee has set an overall goal of 2,000 subscriptions, for 1980. The campaign will be launched shortly and will concentrate on subscription parties, general sales by Board and Playhouse Guild members, local advertising, and direct and householder mailings. Prime Minister and his party on their recent return to office, and noted the positive plans for agriculture oultineally the Liberal party during the recent election campaign. The Liberals promised to exempt farm fuels from federal excise tax, protect farmers from imported foods being "dumped!' into Canada, renegotiate chicken import quotas, protect and enlarge the Farm Credit Corporation, and increase funds for • agricultural research and development, among others. hula Everything you'd expect and then some.
