Zurich Citizens News, 1976-08-04, Page 9Golden Glimpses . BLUE WATER FEST HOME Another month has sped by, and before long all vacations will be finished and fall programs will be back in full swing. Perhaps all the good weather is being stored up for the fall season, On Wednesday afternoon the Residents were guests at a picnic hosted by members of the Menn- onite G.M.S.A. girls at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Erb. A picnic supper was enjoyed and even though the rain did inter- fere somewhat with the plans, the Residents appreciated the oppor- tunity to visit the farm. We appreciate the donations of craft room materials we arc re- ceiving. also the fresh garden vegetables which are a real treat for the Residents. • On Thursday evening the junior department of the Zurich Menno- nite Sunday School. presented a programme of singing and recita- tions. At the close of the pro- gram refreshments and a social time were enjoyed. Bingo was played in the craft room on Friday afternoon rather. than Friday evening. A number of our ,Residents, particularly those formerly hon the Dashwood arca, travelled by bus on Saturday afternoon to take. in the parade and some of the events of the annual Fricsburg Days. The Sunday evening chapel service was conducted by Rev. S.W. McFalls, retired Minister of Lucan. Miss Shirley Keys of Bayfield presided at the organ during the service.

Record attendance at Playhouse Last week's rollicking musical production of The Boy Friend was a huge success at the Huron Country Playhouse. Attendance records were broken every performance of the run at the Grand Bend theatre. Opening and closing nights were completely sold out, with large crowds for the Thursday and Friday night performances, and the biggest audiences so far at the new Wednesday and Saturday matinees begun this season. This week, it's Waltz of the Toreadors by Jean Annouilh . It is a blustery, comic bedroom farce about a General who fan- cies himself quite a toreador with the ladies. His wife, an invalid, spends all her time abusing him verbally, and his two plain daughters bore him to tears. Then Mlle. de Ste-Euverte, a beautiful woman who has guarded her virtue ever since a magical waltz with the General many years before, returns to claim his love. He evades the issue, and she, in despair, turns to the General's priggish young secretary, and awakens him to the pleasures of L'amour. It -also evolves that the local doctor's frequent visits to the wife have not been entirely medical in scope , .. and on it goes. The play involves moments of riotous comedy, amazing husband and wife tug -o' -wars, and elusive moments of straightforward, spiritual can- dor. The Huron Country Playhouse production of Waltz of the Toreadors features two of Canada's outstanding stage performers, Vernon Chapman and Aileen Taylor Snith. Mr. Chapman has been ac- tively involved with Canadian television since its inception in Canada in 1952, having per- formed regularly on the Wayne & Shuster shows for many years, and he has appeared on all major Canadian television drama series. Ms. Taylor Smith is a returning Playhouse veteran, and is perhaps best known to area audiences for her stunning portrayal of "Amanda" in last year's The Glass Menagerie. Other cast members include Playhouse regular M. E. Evans, who portrayed the villain in The ,Mumberly Inheritance, Trulie MacLeod. and Nancy Palk, two more of the cast from that melodrama. Larry Lewis, a newcomer to the Grand Bend stage, portrays the secretary, and Ann de Villiers returns, after a two year absence, to play Mlle. de Ste-Euverte. Barbara Young, Playhouse musical director, has the cameo role of the village dress maker who is the General's sometime bedmate. The Playhouse production is an extremely sophisticated French farce, and is not recommended for children. The romantic en- tanglements are many, but the moments of high comedy, and even slapstick humour, are almost non-stop.
