United in song Harron to appear in benefit concert Best known to Canadian audiences as his alter ego Charlie Farquharson, Don Harron will give a Blyth Festival Benefit performance at Blyth Memorial Hall on Oct. 30. Mr. Harron, whose career has included achievements as an actor, writer, broadcaster, comic and producer, is one of Canada's extraordinary talents. He has enjoyed an extensive career in Canadian radio and television and his accomplished stage career began in Stratford in 1953 in a lead role opposite Alec Guinness. The author of numerous books, Harron has also written many plays and scripts including the long-running adaptation of Anne of Green Gables at the Charlottetown Festival. Charlie Farquharson has had almost as impressive a career as Mr. Harron. He was first introduced to Canadians in the 1952 Spring Thaw Revue and performed for 18 seasons in the TV series Hee Haw. They will be joined on stage by Don's other alter ego, Valerie Rosedale. Delighted at an opportunity to show up Charlie's true colours, she recently remarked: "I have known Charlie Farquharson for more years than I care to count, and what that man needs is a WANTAOS 4^7* ALL THE TIME! muzzle . .. and he'll use any excuse to get away from the farm (leaving his wife to do the chores.)" A delightful evening of satire and wit with Don , Charlie and Valerie await all who come to 3's Company at Blyth Memorial Hall on October 30. The audience is invited to join Don for the signing of his latest book at a reception following the performance.
