BY Gwendoline is quite an about-face from the usually light-hearted plays presented at the Blyth Summer Festival. Nevertheless, it is a play which leaves a lasting impression on one's heart. The two act drama, which opened in Blyth on August 9, is not without its light moments but for the most part it is a serious study in human behaviour. Set in the small Southern Ontario town of Kingforks, the story -line of the play, written by James W. Nichol, centres on 'a beautiful but ec- centric young woman named Gwendoline, admirably portrayed by Karen Wiens. to have her "put away". But through an ef- fective portrayal by Wiens, the audience sees the real Gwendoline, a harmless and beautiful creature, once the victim of a drunken and abusing father, haunted by her childhood memories and plagued by loneliness.

Posits son, David, played by Tom McCamus, last seen as the young government inspector in His Own Boss, also takes a liking to Gwendoline whom he compares to the beautiful mother he has never known. He becomes so possessive of her that he almost --causes- more harm than good. McCamus is first-rate in his role- as an awkward adolescent. Heather Ritchie, last seen as Marion McCoy, the likeable newspaper editor in His Own Boss, plays the complete op- posite role in this play as an unlikeable old spinster who claims to be a "God- fearing" person and yet at the same time helps to lead the town's vendetta against Gwendolin-e. "There are places for people like her," says the vicious May Jacobs (Ritchie) who forbids, children to play with Gwendoline and tries to Following a presentation entitled The Grey Ones, the final GLT production for Theatre Summer '78 held last week, there was a sing -song led by Warren Robinson, Earl Salter, Brian Markson and Eleanor Robinson. As a final, farewell, there was another GLT winds up summer season BY JOANNE WALTERS GLT group which usually sticks only to three full- length productions performed in MacKay Hall throughout spring and winter. The summer theatre " program, which offered light en- tertainment through short one -act plays, pantomime and music for six weeks, was even more successful than organizers had hoped, said Melski. The troupe played toudiences which average between 30 and 35 in number. On Wednesday and Thur- sday evenings, -plays were performed in the jail yard, which realty is a perfect setting ac- cording to Melski, and on Friday evenings per- formances were held in the barn at Point Farms Provincial - Park. These latter performances drew the largest audiences, consisting mainly of campers. The Goderich Little Theatre troupe concluded its Theatre Summer '78 program last week with a final presentation en- titled The Grey Ones, a play based upon a short story by J.B. Priestley, adapted by Warren L. Robinson and director by Eleanor Robinson both of Goderich. The Grey Ones, a study in human behaviour, -featured Earl Salter as George, a man disturbed by the notion that some of his fellow human beings were not really human beings at all but' evil bodies seeking to un dermine and destroy humanity; Eleanor Robinson as Margaret, the sister who urges George' to seek psychiatric help; Warren Robinson as the psychiatrist; and Dave Haslett and George Young as orderlies. FollowingTheThe--Gre-y Ones came a sing -song led by the Robinsons, Earl Salter and Brian Markson and, then, as a final , farewell, came a presentation especially suited to the jail setting entitled Winter Wheat, narrated by Rob McEwen and written by Brian Markson. The pretence that the acting company was about to lock its audience inside the jail yard walls until next summer, was made even more of fective by the growing darkness of the evening and a real live bat which just happened to be swooping ,around 11:00 NEWS 5 AT ELEVEN .overhead:.

Costumes and props were kept to a minimum and young, new talent was introduced. An admission fee of $1 was charged for the performances and a dance was held at Salt - ford Valley Hall in July to also help raise money. On Sunday evening, August 27, a 'variety show featuring musical numbers and pantomime among other things, will be held -at G.D.0 I:-bythe GLT group to also help raise money. Melski says she hopes that eventually GLT can earn enough money to afford their very own "spot" for theatre.
