This is the first Canadian play to be produced at the Playhouse this year, in a season comprised of Canadian works, French and English works to celebrate Canadian heritage, and two American plays in honour of the U.S. . . Biceptenn ial, Last week's French musical, Irma La Douce, enjoyed out- standing attendance records, challenging even those of last year's biggest hit Hello Dolly. Set at Mumberly Manor, Suffolk, at the turn of the century, this week's melodramatic spoof ri is filled with high intrigue and hilarity. The unfortunate speculation of Sir Roger Mum- berly, lord of the manor, has thrown the family into narrow straits. The dastardly villain, Marmaduke Mayhem, plots to take possession of Mumberly Manor and its lovely young mistress Daphne. Daphne, however, has given 41. her heart to Roger Stoutheart. Only the return of the long lost brother, Jack, from "The Canadas" with the secret of the inheritance can save the day. A rousing example of good old- fashioned villainy. The cast of The Mumberly, Inheritance includes many Playhouse favourites. Stan Lacey and M. E. Evans are both very familiary names to area theatre- goers. Mr. Evans has appeared in seven past Playhouse produc- tions, and Mr, Lacey has per- formed on the Grand Bend stage innocence and Dell Aerospace may get contract Managing director James G. Mills of Bell Aerospace in Grand Bend has revealed that contract negotiatins with the Federal Ministry of Transport .have been quite prominent during the last two months. The company is anticipating that the contract will be issued by the end of July. This outstanding contract would mean approximately four months work for 48 people. Bell Aerospace have gone through some difficult times during the past months resulting in the layoff of over half their work force. At the present time there are 30 persons employed as opposed to 80 just before Christmas. The existing employees consist of eight in the engineering department, six in product support or ' maintenance and repairing of `crafts in the field, seven in administration and the remainder in production. Beyond the contract now in negotiation is a possible contract with the U.S. Federal Govern- ment Agency which would mean an additional four or five months work for approximately the same amount of personnel. (48). For the past five months Bell Aerospace negotiators have been discussing a very large contract with Nigeria. It could mean almost three years of steady employment on this contract alone for 150 to 200. Mr. Mills says there is a 50 percent chance of landing at least half of it and he is optlijmistic about it. ' There has also been some in- dication from the federal Ministry of transport that the Canadian Coastguard may require additional hovercraft for search and rescue operations as well as ice breaking. At the present time one craft previously purchased by the Canadian Coast Guard is being refurbished in the plant. If none of the contracts come through within the next two months, the company may be forced to cut back to a total of 18 employees, Mr. Mills reported.
