th play presents an enjoyable evening of tocal entertainment
By Darrell Kloeze ,
Country Hearts upholds, Blyth's fine tredi:
lion of producing plays close to the hearts -of
the local audience. It offers a funny, often
arm -hearted look at life in • a small,
mall -town hotel. Playwright Ted Johns,
usband, of 'the Blyth's' outgoing artistic
re'etor, Janet Amos, reportedly modelled
ountry' Hearts on Blyth's own Blyth Inn,
ut any number of local hotels in southern
ntario can be humorously recognized and:
ondly remembered as you Watch .the
oings-on in Johne Commodore Ifotel...
Even the set,• designed by •Pat Flood, is
onvincing. Not for one moment ,did I doubt
at the doors marked Ladies' and -Gents
pened up into.actual washrooms, with real
mks and toilets and. writing pill -the walls;
or did I have problems believing that there
as a real winter blizzard going on outside
e hotel, eventhough I had just entered the .
eatre from a warm- August evening.
Of course, set isn't eVerythinein a play,
ut the pickled eggs. on the bar and the
akeshift stage that blocks one of the bar
.room's exits helped to make the play all, the
more believable, The regular patrons of the
bar .are just as recognizable: We meet Zip
(Ross Skene), the fiddler of the former band
whospends most of hiStime firmly rooted to
a stool in one corner of the bar; Snag (Robert
King) who returns to the COmmodore after a
year long stay in the west where he went to
find his fortune' but,. we assume, has found
nothing of the sort; and of course Boomer
(Ron Gabriel), the local drunk who brings his
own unique and inebriated .sense of humour
to' the bar. ,
The main premise of the .play is that the
bar'sovvner, George (Robert Nasznith) wants
to get these characters 'out of higliotel to try
to turn it into something more classy. }t -e.
also hires a new band, led by a former flame
of his, pla.yed'by Daisy ,DeBolt. Things start ,
looking up for George when an older. very-
-distinguished 'Cabinet, minister and his very
lovely mistress, played by David Fox and
Patricia. Vanstone,. both . rather unlikely
guests- at the Commodore, are stranded
there because of the blizzard. A good deal of
humour results as George attempts to put on
a classy act for the new gliests, and as the'
old regulars and the .more worldly couple
become better acquainted with each other.
Completing, the cast are RobinCraig and
Denise Kennedy, both sometime singers and
sometime waitresses at the Commodore, and
the rest of the new band, played by Sandy
Crawley, Terry Raiford, and John Roby.
•
It takes most of the first act to introduce all
of these characters and set down' the basic
plot line, and as a resultthe play moves very '
slowly' in the first half. All these details could
be easily established in half the time that it
takes; there is also a kit of wasted time with
characters going up and down the stairs;
running in and out the• doors; without the
audience being really sure of what they -are
doing off stage._ •
, The action picks up when the bend finally.
gets settled and -starts to play, late in. the
first act. The lead singer, Daisy DeBolt, has
a powerful voice ,particularly suited to
singing blues, - amt she sings, them well..
DeBolt is not as convincing an actor as
a singer hewever, but she rnanages
- small . dramatic part well enough.
All the characters in fact lie somewhe
a -spectrum of either acting well or • sin
he is "
her
e on
g •
well, with a few who manage to combinethe
two talents. David Fox, who turns -in the best
acting performance, is, not required to sing
at all, and John , Roby makes a mute
appearance as thetpiano player in the band.
Roby is an excellent piano player, and
obviously a fine musician otherwise, because,
he has written the music and lyrics forthe
play.. • .
And the music is really the highlight of the
play, whether it be the songs that are
performed for the bar's patrons by the 'band,
or the songs -that are not as believably
worked into the plot of the play.
The music is basically the same as you
Would hear in any small town bar: cOuntry,.
country rock', and some blues. Ahnost
.eyerybody in the cast gets ,the chance to
sing; one of the nicest numbers is a trio
