A visitor at a golf club paid his green fee and, with his part- ner, went out on the course. At the first tee he took a wild swing and completely missed the ball. "By George," he ex- claimed, "it's a good thing I found out right at the start, This course is at least two inches lower than the one I usually play on." 1111111111i1111.1i11131U1111.11E11111i11111111 11111 4ceam Monday to Thursday at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday — 2 shows at 7:15 and 9:15; Sat.

They were waiting, it seemed, for Christopher Plummer, and they probably would have hail- ed him to the skies even if he had given a ghastly perform- ance. He didn't; but then Chris Plummer never does! He is playing Antony this summer at Stratford, and that alone is enough to be packing in the au- diences every night. He stars in no other play; he was to have played the lead in "Richard III" but bowed our and the role went to Britisher Alan Bates. In the Richard Burton movie role, Plummer is fine. Almost every time he turns around, his talent shines forth. He can be gay one minute, depressed the next, scheming and hard-heart- ed one, tender and thoughtful the next. Some of his lines are spoken too quickly; not each word can be heard. But he is Plummer and you overlook the weak moments, because his great ones are so many. Few people, though they knew of his fantastic acting ability, knew of his musical ability un- til they heard him sing and saw him dance with Julie An- drews in "The Sound of Music" . Stratford's choreographer Pat- ricia Arnold has him dancing in this one, and he throws heart and soul into it! At the end of the performance he received a tremendous ovation, probably because he played Antony well, maybe because he brings such magnetism to a stage.

Oct. 2 - TUES. 3 "THE DIRTY DOZEN" (Adult Entertainment) somehow makes Stratford live. His co-star is Zoe Caldwell, the young Australian actress who is earning her wages this year at Stratford, As Cleopat- ra, the fiery temptress of the Nile, she works hard in a role that director Michael Langharn has made a demanding one, She, too, can change her moods at the drop of a hat -- anger to gentleness, jealousy to self-pity. Her ranting and raving can sometimes become monotonous and there are times you wonder why she doesn't just 'dry up' and get lost. To- gether, there are some scenes in which Caldwell and Plum- mer do not give their best; they seem to be enjoying it more than their audience! But their roles are not easy, and togeth- er, they work hard at entertain- ing their audience. At the end of the evening you realize they have succeeded. Supporting players were al- so outstanding. William Hutt plays Enobarbus, second-in- command to Antony; he is great as usual, Bernard Behrens, who has done so well in the plays at Stratford this year and was nothing short of great in "Mer- ry Wives of Windsor", is fabu- lous as Lepidus. And young players like Richard Monette who plays Antony's servant; Kenneth Welsh as Octavius Cae- sar, enemy of Antony; and Christopher Newton as Pompei- us, all do extremely well. Dawn Greenhalgh makes a most pleasing servant to Cleopatra; and Ann Firbank, who definite- ly wears the most lovely cos- tume in the play, is most regal looking in her blues and pur- ples; she plays Octavia, sister to Octavius. ,Bowling News MONDAY NIGHT MEN'S LEAGUE As promised, some of the boys are finding the range. The triples are looking much better and the over 250 club is grow- ing. Some of the league's vet- erans are taking another look et this "Youth Bit" after Larry Got. don bowled the best triple with 709 and proprietor Ian MacLaur- in had a fine 284 for top single, Other good efforts -- Ed Rin- tool 273, Matt Boyd 274, Lar- ry Gordon 273, Lorne Archer 251, Bill Brown 258, Marty Ad- ler 258, Ken Saxton Jr. 265, Bill Hotchkiss 252, Fred Lee 260. The Bruins, Canadiens and M. Leafs now have 10 points, having taken another 5, while the B. Hawks, Red Wings and Rangers took one game apiece and have a total of 4 points. Don't feel too bad boys, three teams are in second place. A big thank you to our Wonderful spares. 0-0-0 THURSDAY NIGHT MIXED LEAGUE The Thursday Night Mixed League got off to a flying start last week. With the games that were bowled I suspect some of the bowlers were practising ov- er the summer. The ball game caused Perry and Gail Holmes some anxious moments, be- cause they had to round up six spares. Bob Hennley, Joan Ir- win, Elwood Irwin, Brian Houn- sel, Bruce Machan and Larry Gordon filled in for some of the absent ball players. The bowling honors were spread around this week: Ladies' high single. Marilyn Ritchie 256; high triple, Gwen Mac- Laurin 724; men's high single, Stewart Leedham 288; he also had the high triple, 713. The girls take over as cap- tains this year and they picked some sweet names for their teams: Marilyn's Maple Buds, Laura's Seccrds, Pat's Smarties, Marg's Mints, Gail's Gum Drops and Hilda's Hum Bugs.
