Signed by order of council of Municipality of Grand Bend 0 J At The Playhouse AnAn abundance of laughs, excellent characterizations and fine summer's night all combined well Wednesday for the first production at the Huron Country Playhouse. Philip Kings "Pools Paradise" as directed by Playhouse managing director James Murphy is a farce done in the finest English tradition wih the laughs following each other in quick succession. It is the type of play which this theatre company knows best; entertainment for entertainment's sake. Murphy has assembled a cast which gave a virtually flawless performance before the capacity opening night crowd. Trudy. Cameron in the role of Penelope Toop a former actress come -wife of a bungling minister in a small' parish is quite competent in a role which could be easil' over -played with possible disastrous effects for the entire show. Ms. Cameron comes across welLas Toop's sensual partner. Almost stealing the show was Jennifer Austin in the role of Ida. the slightly scatter -brained maid who in concert ).kith her boy friend �1'iltie Briggs ( Peter Millard) and Mrs. Toop win 260.000 pounds in an English soccer pool almost un- beknownst to Reverend Toop who 'abhors • gambling. Throughout the evening Austin was continually in the forefront which was -not surprising considering her striking good looks and her rendition of a talkative, highly strong, Cockney Roa ring 20's at Grand Cove Grand Cove Estates in Grand Bend used the roaring 20's as the theme for a party this month.

On the week -end- a Tatham family reunion was —held -at- the Davis home Mr. and Mrs. Mickey. Webb, accompanied by Ruby Smith and Bryden Taylor, have returned from a three week motor trip 10 Victoria Island. B.C. travelling through the States going, and through Canada 'coming home. In Alberta they visited Mrs. Webb's daughter. Wilma Fitzmaurice, in Leduce, also at Jasper, Banff. and Lake Louise.. Mr. Webb had a lively phone conversation with his friend Dick Hamilton, •(a former - Grand Bend resident) now living in Edgewater B.C. Mr. Hamilton has been ill and confined to' bed. In Vancouver they visited Mrs. Webb's grandson, Scott Davidson. They all reported a lovely holiday trip. Week -end visitors with Mr: and Mrs. Laurence Curts were their daughter Mrs. Eunice Cripps, from Saskatoon. Sask. and their grandson and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cripps, of Calgary, Alberta. The western folks were attending a family gathering of some 27 folks in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Curts wedding an- niversary and two family birthday's Robin' and Lawrence McVittie, of Southampton, spent the week -end here at their Johnson grandparents home, while their parents. Dune and Neva, attended her uncle's wedding. Gerald Johnson. of Tavistock. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Rid - dock. of Sarnia, visited Saturday, with their grand- ma Mrs. Mae Holt and aunts Beulah Holt and Mrs. Lawrence Johnson. Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Johnson recently attended the wedding in Sarnia. of their great niece Kathy Riddock, to ' Brent Harrington. Also attending from this area -was Erwin Holt. and Diane Sorensen, 'of Dashwood. Melvin Pearlso of Tucson, Arizona, visited friends and relatives here Monday. and plans to spend the summer in Grand Bend. On his way here hestopped in Calgary to visit his son. Mr and Mrs. Gordon "bird". It shotes that Austin - recently completed acting school in the British Isles. The role of Reverend Toop is interpreted well by r;eteran Playhouse actor Stanley Coles. Contrary to what - happens in the real world,'the image of Toop as a bungling idiot is . im- mediately impressed upon the audience when in the opening scene Toop half falls down a set of stairs after exercising his energy and money saving fetish. Coles gives a good, solid performance. Coming across as the best of the "straight" persons in the farce was Jenny Turner as Miss Skillon, the 50'ish spinster who is after the Reverend. The scene at the end of Act One is memorable, with Toop coming into the house with bandages galore after falling over Skillon's bike. Millard in the role as the hick Briggs comes across well with his performance during the pool winning Scene worthy of note. Drew Russell as the Reverend Arthur Hum- phrey. Toop's replacement after his bicycle encounter offers a top notch }per- formance as the befuddled, elderly member of the clergy who fell into. the madness at the Toop residence quite by accident. If there is a weakness in "Pools Paradise" it has to be the performance by Jay MacDonald as the Bishop of Lax. While MacDonald has the admittedly difficult task of maintaining a degree of civility in this madness, MacDonald appeared to have little of the spirit which infected the other members of the cast and the audience. The setting by Christopher Brown was a reasonable rendition of what one would imagine a vicar's house to be, while the wardrobe by Nancy Hodgins was good especially - Brigg's suit. Never a more gaudy com- bination of clothing has been seen on the stage at -the Playhouse. Go see "Pools Paradise". just for the fun of it.
