Works of Robert Service presented
•
BY HELEN OWEN
The Archives Room at the Bayfield
Library was crammed to capacity,
overflowing into the library on Nov. 10,
when over 40 people young and old, came to
listen to the works of Robert Service
presented by Charles Hayter of Toronto.
Introduced by Librarian Anny Johnston,
Mr. Hayter provided his audience with some
details of the life and times of Robert Ser-
vice, and dressed in appropriate attire, in-
cluding an uncomfortable stiff collar, and
beautifully polished brown boots, he took on
the persona of the writer. The biography
which spanned from childhood on, was il-
lustrated by word pictures of the man, his
environment encapsulated in the recitations
of his works.
A foretaste of what was to come was the
"Ballad of Bessie's Boil", a humorous
rendering, in a broad Lancashire accent
which, nevertheless depicted the embar-
rassment and trials encountered by the un-
fortunate Bessie in seeking an alleviation of

her painful condition.
The influence of the Scottish family
background was reflected in the simplicity
and practicality of the child's "Grace", and
the sad recollections of a lost love. Then the
tempo changed as the following verses told
of wanderings to far away places from Mex-
ico to the Yukon, exemplified by
"Wa erlust" and "Pineries"•
Foi9t while after that, Mr. Hayter carried •
his listeners along from the days Service
spent as a bank clerk, to his increasing suc-
cess as a popular writer. The observations
of life in the Yukon, humorous, nostalgic,
dramatic and poignant, were all recorded in
popular verses with which the readers were
readily able to identify.
With subtle intonations, gestures, pauses
and dramatic interpretation, the characters
came to life in Bayfield, and for a full hour
and a half the audience sat spellbound, as
the word pictures and personalities filled
the room.
As well as his actual performance of the

works, Mr. Hayter also brought to life the
background, philosophies and human
weaknesses. In the days before radio and
TV, when entertainment was a family af-
fair, and when readings and recitations of-
fered family Thespians an opportunity to ex-
ercise their art, the works of Robert Service
provided a wealth of dramatic material.
Just as Kipling presented microcosms of life
under the British Raj, Service recounted the
comedy and tragedy of the Gold Rush. The
raw, crude lifestyle, illustrated by Dan
McGrew, the sly humour of "Five Per Cent"
and the evocative atmosphere of bar room
and outdoors all added color and vitality to
the pictures conjured up by the performer.
Two other observations must be made.
The first is the excellence of the portrayal,
and the clarity and diction which gave
significance to every word, regardless of
dialect, and the second was the undivided
attention of the audience whose faces mir-
rored their complete absorption.
There was no doubt that the afternoon was
a tremendous success, and talking to Mr.
Hayter afterwards it was interesting to
learn that in the small places visited,
Bayfield attendance outstripped all the
rest!
His presentation in Bayfield was funded
by the Huron County Library.
