RECEPTION
for
This week The Huron Coun-
try Playhouse is presenting
George Kelly's "The Show-
Off," a rarely performed
comedy set in the early 20's.
First produced on Broadway in
1924, it was called "the best
American comedy every writ-
ten". There was a celebrated
revival several years ago by
New York's Apa Phoenex Com-
pany which starred Helen
Hayes.
Humourous and nostalgic, it
offers a glimpse into American
life at a time when the great
dream was there for the par-
taking. Naturally enough, the
central character is a typical
American show-off. This is not
to imply that all Americans are
show-offs; they aren't. But
Aubrey Piper, the show's hero
is. Furthermore he is one of
those show-offs who actually
makes good on it. It must be
this very quality - that exists to
some degree in all of us - that
makes us admire the Aubrey
Pipers of the world - in spite of
ourselves.
Shawn Lawrence, who was
with the Playhouse last season
takes on the role of the show-
off. Also featured is Aileen
Taylor Smith as Mrs. Fisher,
Aubrey's no-nonsense mother-
in-law who knows a show-off
when she sees one. Also in the
cast are Candace O'Connor,
John Friesen, Mary Giffin, Rob
Garrison, M.E. Evans, Alexan-
der Pearce, and Bill Mitchell.
Guest director for the produc-
tion is Broadway veteran
tames Albright. Designing the

The second offering of the
season at Huron Country
Playhouse this summer was
'Bo Stop and if opening night
Wednesday was any indication,
the play was an unqualified
crowd-pleaser.
• There were eight players in
the cast and each one brought
skill and believability to his or
her role,
The action in William Inge's
script takes place near Kansas
City, Missouri, in a small
restaurant which also serves as
the local bus stop. What hap-
pens when the area is gripped
by a March blizzard and all
traffic is forced to halt makes
up the story of human strengths
and weaknesses
Shelley Matthews, the lovely
Londoner who was just great in
the Yum Yum Tree, had the
female lead, She portrayed
Cherie, a singer from a cheap
nightclub "down by the
stockyards" in Kansas City,
who claims to have been abduc-
ted by Bo Decker, the rough
and ready young cowboy who
wants to take her to his ranch
and marry her. Bo was played
by Thom Hayes who played op-
posite Miss Matthews in Yum
Yum Tree.
Miss Matthews, a .beautiful
lithe blonde, made the
audience understand Cherie, a
gal raised in the Ozarks who at
19 has been used and abused
but never loved.
Thom Hayes as Bo Decker
was suitably noisy and brash to
cover up for his shyness around
women. Hayes' natural good
looks and youthfulness made
Bo Dicker appear just that
much more inexperienced and
clumsy to the audience. Once
again, Hayes carried his part
well and was the perfect com-
plement to Miss Matthews.
There were two other 'stars'
in the play although they had
only supporting roles. Liz Wid-
dess as Elma Duckworth was
fresh and exciting in the part of
• the wide-eyed innocent young
school girl who worked part-
time at the bus stop. And M.E.
Evans as the wandering lush
with an eye for the young
women, Dr. Gerald Lyman, was
absolutely superb. Evans is
currently director-in-residence
at University of Waterloo,
There's no doubt that
Playhouse audiences will want
to Bee more of Miss Widdess
and Mr. Evans.
The role of Virgil Blessing,
Bo Decker's buddy and
righthand man, was ably per-
formed by Rob Garrison.
Theatre-goers loved Garrison
as the steady, dependable
cowboy who cared for Bo
Decker and helped him win his
girl Cherie, Though Garrison's
lines were few, he delivered
them expertly and made the
audience feel he was the anchor
of the whole production.
Sheriff Will Master was
played by John Friesen who
looked every bit the part of the
gentle but firm lawman who
proved to be in complete con-
trol of everything that went on
around town.
Pauline Carey, another ac-
tress whose first appearance
was in the Yum Yum Tree, was
Grace Hoyland, the owner of
the restaurant. She turned in
another acceptable perfor-
mance although this lady just
does not ring true as a "loose
woman".
And finally, Bruce Mower as
Carl, the almost hateful bus
driver who wanted to make the
most of his 20-minute stop-
overs with Grace, helped the
audience to dislike him for the
louse he is supposed to be.
The set was terrific. It ap-
peared authentic right from the
pinball machine which was
labelled "Out of Order" to the
chrome serviette dispensers on
the tables. The bar stools, while
necessary to the set, were a real
asset to the audience for it kept
the actors and actresses
elevated even while in a sitting
position and made for easier
viewing from the rear seats.
Once more, the atmosphere
around the big tent was frien-
dly and warm. Courtesy
abounds among the staff and
visitors are made to feel
welcome and important.
Next week, I'll be reviewing
The Show-Off with Shawn
Lawrence and Aileen Taylor
Smith. Watch then for thoughts
on this one billed as "George
Kelly's delightful American
comedy classic of the 1920's".
