GODERICHSIGNALSTAR, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1984—PAGE 15. 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 ]BAILEY Real Estate Lt .

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.

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. OPEN HOU E SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1984 2:00 P.M. TO 5:00 P.M.
