Blyth's Huron Tiger, hot stuff
by Shelley McPhee
The play "Huron
Tiger" drew a standing
ovation at the Blyth
Summer Festival on
Friday, night. However,
the tribute was probably
not exclusively given to
the play itself, but for the
fact that after over two
hours, the production had
ended and the audience
could finally stand and let
some air circulate around
their sweaty bodies.
The opening night at
the theatre saw a full
house of nearly 400, but
unfortunately, the major
part of the audience was
more interested in trying
to keep cool than trying to
follow the somewhat long
play. Hanna portrayed the
Two 10 minute in- character of Louisa as a
termissions with cold spunky Scottish woman
drinks served and an with a quick wit, a brave
ample supply of exterior and a deep
program's to use as fans desire to marry Tiger.

Playhouse in high gear
The second week of the
Playhouse's seventh
season already sees it
operating at, high gear
with two productions in
rehearsal in addition to
the nightly performances
of its current two-week
stanza, The Odd Couple.
The popular Neil Simon,
comedy stars Canadian
TV star Jack Duffy and
well-known Toronto actor
Les Carlson in the title
roles, and has launched
th's : season with a . rip -
snorting success.
Following the capacity
crowd of opening night,
the first week's reser-
vations are among the
highest in recent
Playhouse history,
playing to 75 per cent plus
houses and a healthy
Wednesday matinee
crowd, traditionally
weak. The second, and
last week of The Odd
Couple already views
well at the box office and
theatre goers wishing to
see this hilarious play
should reserve early.

changes from his comical
remarks to the point
where he is unknowingly
dying, leaves the
audience dangling, un-
sure whether they're
watching a comedy or a
tragedy.
Terence Durant, with
his greying beard and
flashing eyes, came off
well as the heroic Tiger
Dunlop.
A rogue, Durrant
portrayed the character
written by Peter Colley
as the true rogue legend
says he was.
Although the entire
performance dragged a
little too often, the play
was able to hold its head
above water since it was
a fictional story about
Huron's Iocal history.
Peter Colley, writer of
the script, gave an in-
teresting account of the
personal life of Tiger and
the household he lived in,
especially the scandal
that aroused over the fact
that a political figure was
living with an unmarried
woman, his housekeeper.
The solution to this
problem, worked out by
Tiger and his brother,
was a scene well worth
remembering to include
in the play.
His personal life in-
cluding his drinking
habits and tali tales
seemed much more at-
tractive to the audience
than trying to recount all
the historical events of
the time. The play, set in
the year 1837, tried to
relive the events leading
up to the Farmer's Revolt
and McKenzie's
Rebellion, when settlers
throughout Upper
Canada rose against the
inadequacies of the
system.
Undoubtedly, the heat
was a major factor in
weakening the play which
is direeted by James Roy.
However, this problem is
now solved with the
central air conditioning.
which is now installed in
the Blyth Memorial Hall.
"Huron Tiger" will be
performed throughout
the month of July along
with Keith Roulston's
play, "His Own Boss".
Both plays are also
scheduled for per-
formances in August as
well.
This week at the Legion
By Renee

rochu
Last Friday evening,
our customary TGIF
night was again well
patronized considering
the beautiful weather we
are now enjoying..
Comrade Bill Cham-
bers won the draw prize
for the evening. But,
Comrade Dorothy Fleet
lost out on the attendance
draw as she had failed to
register during last week.
The attendance draw is
now worth $62.50, so it's
now worthwhile taking
the time off from your
busy schedule .to drop in
and register, as you don't
have to be present at
draw time to win.
As a note of interest to
our Ladies Auxiliary,
last Saturday afternoon
we were visited by a bus
load of ladies auxiliaries
from Stratford. ' They
were on a Legion Hopping
trip around the area
including Goderich,
Clinton, Seaforth, Blyth,
Wingham, and Mitchell
and perhaps more.
While here, the lucky
bus driver won himself
$50 on our Nevada Draw.
Quite an experience for
the ladies.
We welcome back our
president, John Semple
who has just returned
home from a trip to BC,
all rested up and ready to
perform his duties as our
president. Don't forget
our associates' barbecue
and dance, so getyour
tickets early.
