R1ONAL.81 AR. 1HURSDA `► SE# TEMBER 6, 1973 ro uctionn for• The final production of Huron Country Playhouse for the 1973, season was a real crowd pleaser judging from the laughter and applause Thur- sday evening in. the big tent on the 13 line in Stephen Town- ship. The Hand That Cradles The Rock is a Canadian play by Warren Graves set in the Western Provinces. It's a modern play about 'the problems of one couple where the wife is the wage. -earner in the family and• the husband stays home to care for the house and their four-month old daughter. - - Rose Fend Alex (short for Alexandra) Cameron played by Tom Alway and Jeanne Beauvais just don't have much time for each other. She'.._ always away on some exciting business trip or other and he's ,always tied up with diapers and dishes. When they do have an 'e•ening to spend together, they are plagued with interruptions of one sort or another - like visits from Alex's mother, Beattie Cooper (Joan Hanna). and her.,constant companion George Withers (Stan Lacey); ,ora call from the local health nurse, Carolyn Bricker (Mary Giffin) who seizes an oppor- ' tunity to find. the new mother at home and available for her checkup. • Husband Ross is • growing a little weary of his- role as mother. Wife Alex likes her career,• sees it becoming more and more lucrative and convin- ces Ross this is The best way. After all, Ross is only a struggling writer whose success depends on„ the whim of publishers_,_. Jeanne Beauvais was _ ex- cellent Was the high -flying Alex but she failed to outshine Joan Hanna who turned in a 'glit- tering performance as her swinging mother. When Miss Hanna, -had no lines she con- -tinued to steal the show with her flippant manner and 'downright attractive presence. Tom Alway as Ross made a believable harassed housewife and babysitter and Stan Lacey as George was surprisingly good in a difficult role.• Mary Giffin as the 23 -year old virgin Carolyn (musn't let that get around) was like a breath of fresh air. Miss Giffin, played the part with just the right amount of innocence and bubble....and her action in The Stripper sequence was funny and flirtatious all at once. The set designed by Nicholas Ayre was by far the best yet. Although the steps leading up •. to the balcony high above the stage seemed 'to cause concern for the actors and actresses who had to run up and down them, the effect was- tremen- dous and gave the audience several levels at which to watch and appreciate. Each of last week's perfor- mances was prefaced by a din- ner served in -the barn lobby. According to Managifg Direc- tor James Murphy the success 6r -these dinners was tremen- dolls and more of this sort of thing can be expected next season. Fish this first time as well, the theatre lobby was licenced and cocktails and other" beverages were available between acts. • ' Patrons seemed to appreciate this innovation and a regular bar will also likely be one of next year's main con- siderations. In all, the 1973 season has ended with some triumphs° and some failtures.... and each will require a careful study by the Playhouse Board of Directors before next season. • One thing which Will have to be decided is the type best tc- cepted , by Huron County audiences. This year'sseasot included six comedies, one musical and one mystery. Perhaps, another season could includes little more variety ..» less comedy, more drama, one muical for an eight week season is Probeihly least two spine-chillin mJterlee in . short,,rrnor e. required at the Pl. 1974. ic1 to tug *ler irh, h weel Nath n 1 ABSOLUTELY NO COMPROMISE INQUALITYATAPWEO bee `r. 1 ►18� q Ire bra hr ly: oral teptat as Mese get lost( lel for com WHOLEAstP N 100% BRAZILiAN . . . 100% DELICIOUS WANT A STRONGER SLENDW 8 O'CLOCK COFFEE BOKAR COFFEE 3-ld 1-L6 BAG al 1boi yell' al of 1 Save 8c ABP COFFEE IS FRESHLY GROUND tN THE STORE WHEN YOU BUlt U . . .
