'What I am sure must be one of the largest casts in Shakespearean theatre history (36 speaking parts, many extras) played to it, packed theatre and greatly deserved the tremendous ovation received. The play was Ylclnlund Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergerac" and the star through each wonderful moment, was Christopher Plummer, who played the title role and did it beautifully. From the minute he made his entrance (from directly behind us), to 'the final scene, he dominated the entire play, mak- ing his presence felt in the farth- est corner of the theatre, I have always recognized Mr. Plummer's talent, to me a bit greater in comedy than in tragedy, and he certainly did not disappoint me in "Cyrano". His last appear- ance at Stratford was two years ago in "King John" and "Romeo and Juliet", Last year he perform- ed in England, at Stratford -on - Avon and at London's West End, where he _received "bast actor" award for his performace as Henry II in "Becket".

"Cyrano de Bergerac" is the true story of the 17th century speech, writer who was noted for his large nose, his swordsmanship, and the After Christian and Roxane are number of enemies he made, Al- thoughand he is basi. ally a comical leave for war, where Cyrano writes figure he makes one weep with Christian's love letters home to his constant efforts to cover up Roxane. After Christian dies in his sensitive emottions. He jokes battle Roxane, grief-stricken, en - about his nose, calling it at one ters a convent to become a nun point, a peninsula, and says he and Cyrano remains her closest never cries because "there is too friend.

The last scene is the most tween Cyrano, Roxane ( )Toby Rob- ins) and Christian (Peter Donat).

Besides Plummer, it was dif- ficult to pick out top perform- ances. No one gave a 'bad' perform_ ante. Many actresses could have played Toby's Roxane; it was not a difficult part, She moved with grace and was very beautiful, al- though she appeared to be strain- ing her voice at times. Douglas Rain was tremendous and a riot as the pastry cook, Ragineau; Peter Donat was very good as Christian. Eric Christmas and William Hutt, who always give great performan- ces on the CBC were excellent, even though their roles were small. The costuming was spectacular! All in all, a fantastic evening; one I wish everyone could have shared. I really deserted the "toob" this week in favor of live entertain- ment! I think everyone should take in more of the latter; too many people are becoming dumpy and uninteresting because of their be- ing glued to the "Pox" every night. Many, like me, got their Sunday duds out and filed into the arena in Wingham Friday night for the Frontier Days' stage show, featur- ing Gordie Tapp, Shirley Harmer, Tommy Hunter and the Rhythm Pals- The show was, as someone else described it "short and sweet" Only an hour in length, it moved along smoothly with acts introduc- ■ ed by Gordie Tapp, about •the bestt MC in the business. The Rhythm Pals, Mike, Mark and Jack (in pastel suit, yet!) backed up the other performers, besides playing trio numbers, These three are very talented musicians and singers; PHONE 139 — WINGHAM '-- r ill111III1r1111111111 11411111111311II1fIH12IIIN11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111lli111illill111ll uli FIND EXTRA DOLLARS WITH SHUR-GAIN The Shur -Gain All -Mash Program was designed with your poultry profits in mind.

The lea- der, Mrs. Leslie Bolt, opened with a hymn, followed by a poem, "Prayer for School". The minutes and treasurer's reports were read by Mrs, Jesse Wheeler, It was decided to hold the next meeting the last Tuesday in Sep- tember and that the money left from the Messengers' picnic be giv- en to the Messengers. It was re- ported that the men are going ahead with the repairs to the floor in the basement, Mrs, Walter Scott was in charge of the study and opened with a hymn and introduced the new study book "On Asia's Rim" which includes a study on Hong Kong, Formosa, Korea and Okinawa.

The meeting closed with the Mizpah benediction, Mark Wall is one of the -finest ac- cordionists I have heard and Mike Firby has great talent as a kibit- zer. Tommy Hunter's music is e little out of my range, but I'd be narrow-minded it I said he wasn't talented. Shirley Harmer was THE star of the show sang only five numbers. I could have listened to ten more, but it was worth the cost of the entire show to hear her sing her old theme song, "If You Love Me". She looked lovely in a bright tur- • quoise, dress with long white gl'ove5 and silver slippers. It was a good show, a little :short, as I said, but none the less sweet, The Lions are to he congratulated on their choice, 0 - 0 - 0 This week sees the return of some TV shows to the fall pro- gramming. "Car 54" returned on Tuesday night, and "The Defend- ers" show up on Thursday night at 8. "Hollywood . .

The topic, "Downtown Church Work", was taken by Mrs. Joe Dunbar and Mrs. J. Mcl3urney and it showed how many of the church problems are being solved by the personal visits of the deaconess and church members to the homes of newcomers. Mrs. G. Hull led in prayer fol- lowed by a hymn, During the busi- ness members were reminded to bring their gifts for Indian schools, Substcriptions were received to the Glad Tidings and plans were made for the Thankoffering meeting to be held early in October with Mrs, Joe Dunbar as lunch convener, The Glad Tidings prayer was given by Mrs, Garner Nicholson and the meeting closed by singing another 1tyrnn. • hy Business & Industry are Behind Wingham's Proposed New Hotel * The proposed hotel would provide a convenient and quiet place to entertain out=of=town guestsand 'clients with some degree of privacy. Present dining facilities do not provide good food in quiet surroundings. • The proposed hotel would provide additional good accommodation presently in such short supply in Wing= ham and area. There is enough potential to fill the hotel along with all present good accommodation. • The proposed hotel would make available to indus- try and other groups, adequate ficilitiesY'in 'which' to conduct sales meetings, dealer meetings and banquets. At present several thousand dollars are being forced,,out of Wingham each year because these facilities are not available. ® While all these deficiencies are of severe inconven- ience to Wingham's present business firms ... the con- tinued absence of any of these facilities will discourage the growth of our industrial community.
