This is the first Canadian play to be produced at the. Playhouse this year, in a season comprised of Canadian works. French and English works to celebrate Canadian heritage, and two American plays in honour of the U.S. Bicentennial. Last 'week's French musical. 'Irina La Douce', enjoyed outstanding ..at- tendance records, challenging even those of last year's biggest hit "Hello Dolly". Set at Mumberly Manor. Suffolk, at the turn of the century „ this week's rnelodramatic spoof is filled with high intrigue and hilarity. The unfortunate speculation of Sir Roger Wimberly, lord of the manor, has thrown the family into narrow straith. The „dastardly villain.Marmaduke Mayhem, plots to take possession of Mumberly Manor and its lovely young mistress Daphne. Daphne, however. has given her heart to Roger Stoutheart Only the return of thi. long lost brother, Jack. from 'The Canadas" with the secret of the inheritance can save the day. A rousing example of good old- fashioned innocence and villainy. The cast of 'The Mumberly Inheritance' includes many Playhouse favourites. Stan Lacey and M.E. Evans are both very familiar names to area theatre -goers. Mr. Evans has appeared in seven past Playhouse productions. and Mr. Lacey has performed on the Grand Bend stage every season from 1973 to date. Daphne is portrayed by Kathy Millard, and Chris Benson who appeared as Andy in 'Star-Spangled Girl' plays brother Jack. Other cast members include Stanley Coles. David Douglas, Trulie MacLeod and Nancy Palk. Last Friday, the Clinton Public Library cleaned up their shelves and sold some of their old books at 10 cents a copy. At the end of the day, the library had made $91 which they hope will be enough money to buy some picture book shelving for the children's department. (News -Record photo) W. ALBERT CAMPBELL W.
