This week the . Huron
Playhouse in Grand
en4 WSW* "The Mum-
erly Inheritance", the
hilarious melodrama by
Warren Graves.
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.

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.
