Glen Steven, son of Walter and
Madeline Babich, Edmonton,
were united in marriage June 21,
1986 at St. Peter's Lutheran

Schuessler officiating. Matron of

of the bride, Winnipeg.

Russell, Hensall;- Sandra Regier,
sister of the bride, Detroit and
Heather Regier, niece of the
bride, Detroit. Best mon was

Salt Water Moon ends too. soon
Just when you are thoroughly in-
volved in the lives of Mary and Jacob,
just when you are about to stand up
and give advice to these two young
people, playwright David French ties
all the loose ends together and the
play is over.
Saltwater Moon now being
presented on the main stage at Huron
Country Playhouse until August 9 is
a love story so fraught with life ex-
perience that the audience is left wan-
ting more and more of these two
delightful characters. One act,
although it runs an hour and a half is
not enough. Which is why author
French is one of Canada's most
awarded writers around these days.
He knows how to leave the audience
begging for more.
What seems to be a trade -mark of
Steven Schipper's directing style ap-
pears again in this .production, and
that is underacting: quite the opposite
of most directors. In this case it tends
to keep the two.lead characters look-
ing a little too wooden and expres-
sionless. But this is more than mad
up for, in their mastery of
passages of dialogue deli
and Bob Sterzik, Calgary. Ushers
were Jamie Baker, Dashwood,
and Chris Regier, Detroit, both
nephews of the bride. The couple
honeymooned in Southwestern
Ontario before returning to Ed-
monton, where they reside.

Laurie Paton, a newcomer to the
Playhouse stage, is certainly a delight
to both the eye and the ear. She is as
pretty to look at as her boyfriend
•Jacob remembers. ,Laurie brings to
the part of Mary, the girl Jacob left
behind, just the right amount of
youthful innocence and pouty indigna-
tion to etipress the feelings of the
jilted girl.
When she speaks there is a lilt to
her voice that carries the semblance
of a Newfoundland accent. Mother
and Father become "mudder and
Fodder", and "las mune' s; of
course last month. It hints at an Irish
lilt but it doesn't really matter how
authentically "Neuffie" it is, it win
your heart and gets the m ge
across.
The even more d nding role of
,Jacob Mercer ' arried off well by
recent R son Theatre School
graudat even Sutcliffe. His natural
shy : • meanour and broad toothy
le help him get through some ex-
tremely long narrative passages.
Much of the plot unfolds through
Jacob's story telling and the audience
is treated to a built in history lesson
which is saved from boredom by
Sutcliffe's earnest and intense
delivery.
Saltwater Moon is a romantic love
story set at the turn of the century in
a fishing village along the New-
foundland coast. But this is not the
mushy romance of hearts and
flowers. This is the story of two very
young star-crossed lovers who have
hurt each other ( the reasons are
gradually revealed in the plot !Meet--
here)
ut'mi(here) and have been apart for a year.
This is the accusing—sarcasm of two
people whoknow each other and are
comfortable with years of trust and
faith in each other. This is the brave,
proud, determined kind of banter bet-
ween two young people who wouldn't
want to admit to needing the other,
yet they want the other to admit it
first. Mary accuses. Jacob of acting
like "The cock o' the rock" on his
return and Jacob romances his girl by
singing at the top of his voice so the
whole town can hear.
The story unfolds with humour and
some tears in front of a picturesque
•
costal setting designed by Brian Per-
chaluk. Although the imposing house
front with a verandah supported on
Ionic columns is questionable in
depicting Newfoundland, the stylized
rocky shoreline of steeply rakin
geometric angles provides a vjua y
interesting terrai for theactors to sit
or stand at differ -Fels.
"The intent was to have the home
of the R ght Honorable Dave reflect
solid, substantial tradition-- yet be
romantic and stylized" explained
Perchaluk. Coupled with theethereal
low white brush, cleverly lit to por-
tray a starry evening by lighting
designer Adair Redish, the set
embellishes both the players and the
plot.
Billed as an irresistibly charming
play with the perfect combination of
humour and romance, Saltwater
Moon, at Huron Country Playhouse
until August 9th will give you more
than a few laughs and a pitter-patter
heart. Through a strong dramatic
script, a timeless narrative of hurt, of
prideful struggle and loving trust is
inscribed on your heart.
