'Mail Order Bride' a hit at Blyth
By Adrian parte
BLYTII - If you plan to see only
one play this season, then Blyth
Festival's presentation of Robert
Clinton's Mail Order Bride should
be high on your list of choices.
Clinton's play began life as three
five-minute dramas for CBC radio
over 15 years ago. It has now
bloomed into the humorous and
moving comedy premiered this
spring in Edmonton and brought to
Blyth this summer.
The three original segments are
easy to spot, but Clinton has scat-
tered the play, over three eras: in
1908 a woman leaves eastern Can-
ada for the pc ries to is eet a hus-
band nearly half her age, later her
16 -year old daughter escapes the
-farm for the glamour of world trav-
el, and in 1954 an impatient, am-
bitious grandson returns to auction
the fartn after the grandmother's
death.
All three eras unfold silmutane-
ously on stage as actors in the
1954 present watch the past re-
lived. It's a difficult technique to
pull off, and it is to the Blyth
company's credit that it werrks so
well, especially with lighting
changes separating the decades.
One key to Mail Order Brie's
success is Bill Dow's performance
as Harold English, a "crazy coot"
and master of ceremonies figure
who knows alt the Latin names for
local wildflowers. He draws the
audience and the other actors into
the story, frequently reminding us
it is just a story.
Confronting the audience and
breaking the theatre's illusion has
become trendy in recent years, but
Clinton puts it to good use, offer-
ing comic relief to the growing
tension on stage.
When Dow is told he is crazy by
Aidan Devine he replies "That's
what it says in the program." '
The set, made of wood and
string, is lit to look like barnboard
or becomes transparent to show
eavesdroppers behind. A raked
stage allows the audience to see
Dow planting his flowers in front
of the house scheduled for demoli-
tion in two days.
"This set," quips Dow,
"supposed to 'be the old Teeter
place. Doesn't look much like it."
_ Opening night's first act showed
some caution, but the characters
began to settle into their roles after
the first few minutes. With each
subsequent performance, any rough
edges are apt to be smoothed away.
Audience expectations of a nostal-
gic view of pioneer life are slowly
stripped away. By act two, the
1954 subplot becomes the main fo-
cus of attention. The scenes from
1908 become the basis on which to
BLYTH FESTIVAL - Farm girl Carol Sinclair falls for the attractions of a
travelling salesman played by Vaughn Fulford in the Blyth Festival's pro-
duction of Robert Clinton's Mail Order Bride.
Over 100 United Church women
of Huron -Perth Presbyterial, some
from as far as Goderich and Exeter,
proved this point as they gathered
at Camp Bimini on June 14.- dur-
ing the heat wave - with the theme,
"God's Wonderful World."
Marion Jackson Tyler inspired
the campers with her address in the
morning.
Representatives from many
churches throughout the Presbyteri-
al were involved in various capaci-
ties in making the day a success. As
always at camp, food was an impor-
tant feature. Coffee and muffins
were available on arrival, courtesy
Stratford Central U.C.W. Women
from Ilibbcrt and •Thamcsview
U.C.W.s set the tables, and arranged
the pot luck food ready for lunch.
while the Mitchell Main Street
U.C.W. did the necessary cleaning
up.
Susan Pellow of the Camp Board
welcomed everyone to the campsite,
and asked for donations for craft ac-
tivities and the kitchen. Needed
items include: baby food jars, socks
suitable for puppets, margarine con-
tainers, lengths of yarn, and used
Cam in
evaluate future_ relationships.
For example, Peter Smith's re-
mark to his new wife "1 always
thought you got married in spring"
has more meaning to the grandson
than it did in 1908.
The author on opening night said
he was delighted with the progress
of his once small play in the hands
of the Blyth company. The selec-
tion of next year's touring show is
yet to be made, and Clinton hopes
Mail Order Bride is in the running.
If your tastes in drama include
contemporary use .of the stage, and
serious plays free from weighty
gloom, then Mail Order Bride is
worth driving to Blyth to suffer the
theatre's notoriously hard seats.
Of course, you can always rent a
cushion and help out the Festival's
building fund.
