Festival play tells Donnelly story
Continued from page 1
in February 1880, the unsolved
murder mystery still is a compell
ing tale of an Irish family who
sought refuge in the New World
from the prejudice and poverty of
their native land. Their past con
tinues to haunt them and leads to a
deadly conclusion to the tale.
James Reaney is a Stratford
native and teaches at the Univer
sity of Western Ontario. He has
been a strong friend of the Festival
over the years. The play opens

140 jobs, might be forced out of

However, Mr. Spears said,
Premdor had plans to shift produc
tion from its Toronto plant to
Wingham which would create 15 to
30 extra jobs and require as many
as 80 additional carloads of lumber
per year. Premdor put together a
well documented case for the
retention of the line and worked
hard to defend it against the
accusations of CN lawyers that the
railway was not essential to the
future of the factory and that the
company could even save money by
trucking in lumber rather than
shipping it by rail.
Witnesses for CN estimated it
would require 466 carloads of
freight a year to make the line
profitable, more than twice Prem-
dor’s prediction. NTA figures
showed the line had reached a low
of only 99 carloads of freight in
1985 before climbing to 135 car
loads in 1987. CN’s losses on the
line were calculated as $280,670 in
1984 but had declined to $176,265
in 1986 and $216,326 in 1987.
However Thomas Morton, Prem-
dor’s vice-president said that using
CN’s own figures and Premdor’s
predicted increase in use, he could
show CN turning a profit on the
line.
Also making a case for the
retention of the line was Jack
Hodgins of Hodgins Lumber, the
second biggest user of the line. He
said he had started pooling lumber
orders with other lumber yards in
Brussels, Walkerton, Mount For
est, Fergus and Kincardine and in
1987 had increased his use to 11
carloads. He predicted at the time
that the arrangement would lead to
an increase in 20 carloads in 1988.
Closing the line would lead, he
argued, to discrimination against
small lumber retailers who couldn’t
take advantage of large volume,
carload deals.
In the end these arguments won
out. The local businesses will get
18 months to prove their case
before the NTA will entertain
another application to abandon the
line.

“The Right One’’ a romantic
comedy by Bryan Wade who was
writer in residence at the Festival
last year is the third play of the
season, running from July 5 to
Aug. 18. It’s Phillip and Lisa’s
wedding day but the groom is
plagued by last-minute jitters as he
and his best man wait in the church
vestry. Is Lisa the right one? The
question is put to the test when the
bride becomes more than fashion
ably late, held hostage by her
ex-boyfriend who is truly convinced
that she is his right one. Will Lisa
make it to the church on time? Will
wedding bells ring and for whom?
The writing team that brought
the award-winning “Girls in the
Gang” to the Festival stage bring
another musical “The Dreamland”
to life. Raymond Storey and John
Roby provide the words and music
for this story of the glamorous era

The final show of the season will
be a return of the popular play of
last season “The Mail Order
Bride”. Robert Clinton’s script
about three generations of one
prairie family was called “the best
new play of 1988” by one critic.
Harold English the crazy old coot
who has been caretaker of the
abandoned Teeter farm for years,
helps Russell Teeter, the hot-shot
flying ace of World War II, come to
grips with his own life story when
he returns to the farm to auction it
off. Through Harold’s memories
Russell gets to know both his
grandmother, the mail order bride,
and her free-spirited daughter,
Russell’s mother.
“The Mail Order Bride” is the
Festival’s touring production this
season and will tour after the
season until November. It opens at
Blyth on Aug. 30.
