HorsepiayroiIs'.into Clinton
. 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

na and Ellen King and Peter
Martin and Catherine Whitty

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.

longer and cost more money for studio
time'. 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.
