By Shelley McPhee Praised '. by MacLean's Magazine for its "infectious chariri," and described by The Globe and Mail as, "When it was all over, peo- ple clapped till their arms ached," the highly acclaim- ed musical comedy Horesplay will be rolling into Clinton for two . perfor- mances on Wednesday, July 29th and Thursday, July 30th. Horesplay is no ordinary stage production, but an ex- traordinary straordinary play that The Hamilton Spectator called, "a once-in-a-lifetime ex- perence." Along with superb acting, costuming,. singing • and dance, Horseplay gains special recognition as the on- ly horse-drawn play in North, America. Originating from Armstrong, B.C. the Caravan Stage Company, with its 11 Clydesdale horses, five hand -carved cir- cus wagons and 22 per- formers have been taking .to the road for the past 10 years with their unique variety shows. This year, the troup has ventured beyond the mountains and the prairies in a 16 -week Ontario tour, which will visit 17, com- munities, finishing with a 10 - day date in Toronto 'in • September. The Caravan .has been described as a frontier day group and a company of singing gypsies, but the Toronto Sunday Sun cap- tured the magic, the excit- ment and°the wonderment of the performers and their show by writing, "The troupe mesmerized, excited, delighted the city folk. They wove a kind of magic, but they are no roving band of gypsies. Musicians, actors, writers, ferriers, teamsters, cooks, graphic artists, pup- pet makers, clowns, horsemen; technicians - they area group of highly profes- sional, dedicated thespians who come 'together (some with their families) every summer to live and perform together." After a held -over stop in 'Stratford, and performances in Mitchell and Seaforth, the Caravan will be rolling into Clinton and setting up their delightful production at the Clinton Conservation Park, off Highway '4, at the south limits of town. Horseplay Family .reunion held Descendants of the Catharine, Margaret, Johan- na and Ellen King and Peter Martin and Catherine Whitty families held a reunion at the Harbour Park, Goderich on Sunday afternoon, July 26. Those attending were Vic and Milcie Whitty, Magalia, California; Mrs. Dorothy Moore, Ceredo, West Virginia; Mr. and Mrs. Gor- don Zakoor, of Windsor; Mr. and Mrs: Thomas Witherspoon, Dearborn, Michigan; Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hubbard, Forest; Mrs. Catherine Hall and daughters, Marianne and Laurie, Detroit, Michigan; Mace Martin, St. Catharines; Elizabeth Costello and Edna Mottram of London; Mr. and Mrs. Joe Duffy, Ingersoll; Mrs. Mary Martha Schindler and daughter, Charlene of Marysville, Michigan; Tracy O'Neill, Freemont, California; Joyce Middell and baby from Alginac, Michigan; Mrs., Bernadine Kinney, Cyril and Catharine Austin, Michael O'Neill, Marianne and Kevin O'Neill, Raymond Dalton, Joe and Teresa Courtney, all from Kingsbridge; Michael Court- ney of Blyth; Miss Helen Mc- Carthy, Jim O'Neill, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Fitzpatrick and son, Joey, Miss Carrie O'Neill, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Betties and daughter, Beverley and Joanne Har- rison, all from Goderich. , Following dinnerthe after- noon was enjoyed by getting acquainted and reminiscing over family history and family pictures. The family appreciates the efforts of Miss Carrie O'Neill who organized the special get-together. will be performed ' under the stars for two nights and the actiial Clydesdales will be resting before moving onto Blyth, Wingham, Wroxeter, Mt. Forest, Fergus, Bramp- ton and Toronto. The 11 horses are beautiful, well - cared for animals and were trucked east from the Caravan farm in Armstrong, B.C. To make their journey through the backroads of On- tario more comfortable, they. have been shod with special plastic shoes and rubber plates to protect against hoof injuries. Caravan also boasts four more, not so -lovely, but. highly entertaining Clydes. Lincoln, Chevy, Dodge and Ford are the four singing and dancing horses who, through the aid of Grandma Mulvaney, are fighting against a quick end in the slaughterhouse - and that's what Horseplay is all about. The modern age of automa- tion, the vanishing family farm, government bureaucracy, Canada's energy crisis and the police all take a poke in' this fast - paced; slapstick musical comedy. Horseplay is pure horsepower and a show that you shouldn't miss. Tickets for the July 29 and July 30 performances are available in Clinton at Campbell's Men's Wear, and if you pre- sent your old Wintario tickets, dated June 18th or later, at the Caravan box of- fice who will receive the special Half Back 50 cents discount for each Wintario ticket, up to a value of $2. Be sure to' bring a lawn chair or a blanket to the out- door shows at the Clinton Conservation Park. GUARANTEED INVESTMENT .

He is backed up by a professional Stratford .band known as `Cookie' and instruments include bass guitar, drums, lead guitar, tamborine and fiddle. Performing still makes Jim nervous (`It takes years off my life,' he says) but he is basically relaxed about his.new venture in music and is discovering one surprise after another. "The thing that startled .me most of all was that people I've never even met, genuinely like my music. In six weeks, I've sold 700 albums in my own area. One woman in London bought 17 to distribute. The response has been great and that's really encouraging," he says. " Although he says he always knew that going into music full-time would offer a rough, insecure kind of life, he also says he is finding that, strangely enough, he enjoys thelife-style. "I can take a day off when I want or stay up until 4 a.m. to finish something," he explains. Jim hasn't bothered to approach any big -name companies to represent him yet. He is trying to establish his name by himself first by visiting record stores and radio stations. Time will tell how this works. If you are interested in hearing Jim's album, it can be purchased at West End Stereo in Goderich or BTR in Clinton.
