Palk), very unexpectedy thrown to her dur- ing a cottage weekend, make a concerted effort to get acquainted in Norm com- edy The Melville Boys at Playhouse II. The play will be running until August 16 at the Huron Country Playhouse. Melville Boys is a must By Anne Narejko GRAND BEND - The latest play at the Huron Country Playhouse is advertised as being funny yet moving, portraying a real life situation that could happen to anyone. The play certainly lives up to its advertis- ing, if not surpassing it. Two talentedactors and two gifted ac- tresses take Norm Foster's 1984 play, The Melville Boys, and turn it into a real life comedy -drama in the =cabaret theatre. • The story line is simple, yet ingenius. Brothers Lee and Owen Melville (James Haworth and Murray Oliver) decide to take their first fishing trip since their father's death 10 years ago. The entire purpose of the trip is not to fish, but to spend time together and dimply talk,, There is .a reason why the two want to spend time together - they don't have that much left. The eldest, Lee, is dying and will leave behind two daughters, a wife and his mother. When he does die, he wants his brother to watch out for the family, but Owen is not ready to accept the responsibili- ty of controlling anyone's life. He's toe carefree and irresponsible, as proven when the brothers meet two sisters, Mary and Loretta, (Nancy Palk and Jackie Wray.)

Towards the end of the play, Haworth and Oliver put on a per- formance that will send chills down your spin. Adding yet anober dimension to the play were Nancy Pak, a serious, sensitive woman much like:Haworth's character, and Jackie Wray, a yang attractive girl who is as carefree as Murray Oliver's character. _Both actresses. played their parts to perfection as wel(, mixing humorous one liners with some cramatic acting. The set, a smal cabin in Ontario, was designed by Yvonne Sauriol who didn't miss a thing. Only a few doors were on the kit- chen cupboards, the panelling on the wall was not finished aid the screen door leading out to the lake, alladded to a holiday at the cottage atmosphei . The Melville Bales, rimming until August 16, is a mtist for theatre goers. Citizens honor Jack... • from page '4 your side made a success in your farming venture. One can recall the many farms dot- ted with Hereford cattle that you went west each year to purchase and then fattening them on good old Hullett soil. Many will have forgotten too the years spent as•a businessman, owning the store (presently occupied by Radfords) and one wishing that one had a record of some of the tales that were told around the stove on a stormy Saturday night, am sure that this would have been a real history of Hullett. Of special pride to you must be the rearing of Doreen and Ken who have followed the guidelines set down by both you and Gladys. Not only do you take great pride in your own children but speak with a grandparent's pride of the grandchildren as well as the great grandchildren. As one goes through life we realize that these are the marks we have made as we vrind our way from youth to old age and we can then pass down to our children the torch that we carried and here you have never been found wanting. We congratulate you, Jack, upon having reached your 90th birthday. For having liv- ed the life that has given much to those of us who follow behind, and join you in memory and tribute to Glad's who stood by your side through good times and bad, your compa- nion and helpmate for over fifty years, and know that had yeti had her with you at your side tonight, that the night would have in- deed been perfect.' But you have always liv- ed by the adage that one should have the courage to change that which requires change and the ability to accept that which cannot. Respectfully, The residents of Hullett Township.
