In this particular number, the costuming was delightful and the lighting was superb to intensify her striking voice. But the most exceptioal num- ber all evening (performed by Mrs. Zonneveld was i)n Bel Di from Madame Butterfly and Tutti Fior .with , Marilyn Zivkovic in the role of Suzuki, Butterfly's beloved maidser- vant. Here, the costuming once more was exceptional as was the set and the lighting. But the voices of Roni and- Marilyn combined in this exquisite of- fering stirred the audience to respond with sincere applause and many kind remarks. Other lady vocalists in the show who cannot he overlooked were Helen Videan whose clear soprano voice delighted audien- ces with L'Amour Toujours and Baubles, Bangles and Beads and Marianne McCaf= fery, assistant choral director who did La Vien Rose and combined with Miss Videan for The Children's Prayer from Hansel and Gretal. If a reviewer is allowed a personal preference choice, mine would be Ah, -Sweet Mystery Of Life. from Naughty Marietta performed by Arnold Zonneveld. It has been years since I've heard it and I en- joyed every moment. Second choice would be a toss up between the fine num- bers done by a maturing McMillan family with their woodwind instruments and Martin, Dykstra with his 'talking' accordion. The finale, French Military March with the cast in smart red, white and blue costumes and trumpeter Ernie McMillan and drummer Tommy McGill closed the show with an unusual combination of dignity and excitement. Many of the audience cheered •and stamped their feet, as though to demand more, more, more. - If there are complaints about the show, they will concern the length. Some theatre goers felt it was about one-half hour longer than it should have been but others expressed the view that while it was long, it was enjoyable and so no punish- ment. One last plaudit must go to the organist Joan Henwood. The show would have been con- siderably less fun without her., She moved easily from opera to - jazz and had to be the all- important link in the perfor- mance which gave more professionalism than moat locally produced musicals can muster. The entire show was produced in two and a half months, and according to Roni Zonneveld the cast was "just terrific, no friction or any of that nonsense", "Watch for us next year," promised Mrs. Zonneveld. business, they say.

Katie It was`hig week last week for Goderich and area theatre goers and those who didn't see Tom Sawyer, the presentation of Victoria Public School last Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, missed a treat. The , operetta in three acts based on Mark Twain's ever-, popular story of the lad Tom • Sawyer, involved every student from Grades 4„5 and fi There were two casts - one for each night - and four Toms - two for each night. Sets for the production were excellent. The first scene was outside Tom's and Amy's houses and featured two cot- tages complete, with flowers and the famous fencer. The second scene switched to a graveyard with tombstones; theta„ in the next it was Pirate Island with the, palm. trees; next into a dark spooky cave; and finally hack to the cottages. The music was supplied by the on-stage• actors ,and ac- tresses as -well as a massive choir of singers. The numbers were difficult' and performed with considerable talent. Special numbers during the show included a dance by a group .of Sunflowers and a frolic of skeletons in the grave yard. Costumes for all numbers were exceptional a-nd the lighting effects were great, especially considering the limited equipment. The show moved along quickly and without a hitch. Sets were changed almost in- stantly -and .the backstage crew deserves commendation for such a smooth effort. . Principal Don O'Brien reports that about 750 persons' saw the hour-long production in the two nights. He hinted that another similar show may be attempted next year.
