Drama Festival Holmesville YPU embarked on a new venture last Thursday when the play it sponsored was presented the second evening of the drama festival held annually by Goderich Dramatic Club. Mackay Hall in. Goderich held capacity audiences both nights. Several from Holmesville attend- ed the three palys on Wednes- day, and more than 30 were pres- ent on Thursday. The very competent adjudicator, Mrs: Blanche Hogg, London, gave her criticisms each , evening, a n d these proved to be extremely constructive, providing material on which better productions can be built next time. • Holmesville's play was a drama, "Moon -Up," by Robert Arthur. A fine impersonation of an old lady from Kentucky. hills was given by Dora Heard. ' Ewan Ross was her son who stayed home. Ross Merrill was the black -sheep boy, and the sheriff was Harry Wil- liams. Special, credit goes to Ross Merrill, Clinton, who gen- erously stepped into the cast as an understudy at the eleventh hour. The directors of the drama were Esther Ross and Sybil Palmer. One of the group, Ewan Ross, was awarded the prize' for second highest points among male actors. This was the Goderich Elevator and Transit Co. Ltd. do- nation, an electric clock. "Moon - Up" was an interesting drama, well -played on the whole, but it was done at too slow a tempo. The winning play was'"Op-0- Me-Thumb", by the Maple Leaf Chapter, IODE, Goderich, and it was a delightful presentation. From this came the winning director, Mrs. F. Saunders, the leading actress, Gail Sully, and the actor, Ronald Price. Mad- eline Edward, in the same play, won considerable acclaim with her interpretation of the light- hearted "Celeste." Virginia Lodge, Goderich, who took the lead in the Arthur Circle's play, "My Lady Dreams," was named second best actress, with Corinne Cranston and Laurel Lodge win- ning the juvdnile awards for their parts in the same play.
