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

through the States going, and
through Canada 'coming

In Alberta they visited
Mrs. Webb's daughter.
Wilma Fitzmaurice, in

Mr. Webb had a lively
phone conversation with his

Hamilton has been ill and
confined to' bed.
In Vancouver they visited
Mrs. Webb's grandson, Scott

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

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

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.
