There are now about 50 of these in the park, designed specifically for martins, who like apartment living and feed on mosquitos, but they are sometimes invaded by sparrows and other species.

Decades are saluted this summer 1 20% SEW&SAVE GRAND BEND AND DISTRICT NEWS at Huron Country Playhouse James Murphy, artistic director for the Huron Coun­ ty Playhouse released final plans for its 1978 festival of summer theatre. The six- play season which opens July 4 is a tribute to six decades. One new play, Two Below, will represent the 70’s; the others, ranging back to the 20’s, were outstanding hits of their day. The 20’s entry is a neglected Broadway hit written in 1917 by a lawyer from Hamilton. Each play has something of# significance to say about the* temper of the times which gave it birth. As previously announced, The Odd Couple, Neil Simon’s hit of the mid 60’s opens the season with a two- week run beginning July 4. The second production is the 1920’s Broadway hit, Parlor Bedroom and Bath written by the Hamilton Lawyer, Charles Bell (in collaboration with Mark Swan). Said one critic at its initial performance, it seems...“designed solely to spread the habit of laughter.’’ The story, which may spark some sympathy for men’s lib, concerns the scrapes a man gets into in trying to live it up to his wife’s image of him as a ladies’ man! After the Broadway run, the play was made into a movie starring Buster Keaton. Continuing as a stock favourite throughout the 20’s, the play then fell into neglect. The Playhouse Company is giv­ ing the play its first produc­ tion in perhaps 40 or 50 years. The third production of the Notice Village of Grand Bend notice is hereby given to rate payers of the Village of Grand Bend. Public meeting at Grand Bend town hall, 8:00 p.m., May 5, 1978. Purpose of the meeting is to discuss merits and demerits of boundary adjustments. Any person who is unable to attend is invited to submit written comments. season speaks for the 70’s and centres on a Canadian writer, George Robertson. Mr. Robertson’s play, Two Below, will be receiving its premiere performances in this production. Two Below is a light comedy about two unlikely types holed up in the basement apartment of a Toronto tenement which happens to be undergoing demolition. Author George Robertson, a native of Brampton, began his career as an actor and played leading roles in several Broadway shows, has appeared in a dozen films, including “Rosemary’s Baby”, and recently played the lead in the CBC feature “Dawson Patrol” which he also wrote. Mr. Robertson appeared on stage at the Playhouse in the 1973 production “Under the Yum-Yum Tree”. Oklahoma!, the 1940’s Rogers and Hammerstein musical comedy master­ piece is the fourth produc­ tion of the Playhouse season, opening August 1st fora two-week run. Newly added to the season is the 50’s romantic comedy­ drama, Picnic. The Pulitzer Prize and Critic’s Circle award-winning play is by William Inge. It is a story of conflict and romance spark­ ed when a young vagabond saunters into a small mid­ western town. The film ver­ sion starred William Holden, Kim Novak and Rosalind Russell. Picnic opens August 15 for a two- week run. Springtime For Henry, the final offering of the season is a British farce. Since its original production in the 1930’s, Springtime For Henry has remained a summer stock classic. It has been so popular that the late Edward Horton, the distin­ guished American-British actor, practically made his career playing Henry. The show opens August 29 for a one-week run. The Playhouse perfor­ mance schedule is Tuesday through^ Saturday evenings at 8:30 with Wednesday matinees at 2:3'0. Informa­ tion may be obtained by phoning (519) 238-8387.
