A capacity crowd is expected to be in attendance at the premiere production, Neil Simon's The Odd Couple. Jack Duffy and Les Carlson star in the production about two men who move in together when their marriages go on the rocks. It is a hilarious study in compatibility because one (Oscar) is a slob while the other (Felix) is com- pulsively neat. Jack Duffy who's career has taken him from the night club circuit as a singer with Tommy Dorsey through radio to star of his own T.V. show, "Here's Duffy", plays Felix. Opposite him is Les Carlson, whose recent ap- pearance in the television production, Raku Fire, won him an Actra award for Best Supporting Actor. Both guest artists appear at the Playhouse through cor- porate assistance from Discount Daye's Home Centre. Stan Lacey, Alden Jones, Murray Ellis, Ann de Villiers, Marion Gilsenan, and David- C. Douglas complete the cast. James Murphy directs the production with setting by Alistair MacRae.

The local area, especially the sand dunes and shoreline are often the subject of 'Mr. Lambert's works. Mr. Lambert studied art at Montreal's L'Ecole des Beaux Arts under Wilfred Barnes, R.C.A. and A.C. Valentine. In 1936 he entered the commercial art field with the Canadian Associated Artists. At the outbreak of the war he was with the 79th Lt. Anti - Aircraft and at war's end he joined the Alexander Murray Co. working through pur- chasing and advertising Agency jobs. He retired in 1975 as Director of Marketing for the Afborite Co. of Canada. Retirement, however, provided the opportunity for further study and refinement of his art with two well' known Montreal Artists, Noel Hollier .. and Helmut Gurth. Mr. Lambert and his wife have lived in Grand Bend at the Grand Cove Estates for the past two years. The family of the late Mrs. Christine D. Wilson wish to express their most heart- felt thanks to all those who ex- tended their kindness and com- passion to their beloved mother during her lengthy illness and to all those who conveyed their ex- pressionsof sympathy at the time of her death.
