David Brown, as Luther
Billis, has energy to spare and
obviously enjoys playing a
comic rascal. The male
chorus in There's Nothing
Like a Dame fills the barn
with good sound and the duet
between Nellie and Billis fill
it with laughter.
Once again Barbara Young
directs an ensemble of 11
young musicians with preci-
sion and confidence. The
shortened overture is pleas-
ing and the small group uses
full range of instruments to
fill in for the fullness intend-
ed with the use of a larger or-
chestra. One has the feeling
that there is a sound problem
between stage persons and or-
chestra - but Young seems to
be able to put it together
directing from the pit.
Richard ljogers and Oscar
Hammerstein II packed a lot
into this show - war, racial
relationships, persons.
disoriented because of cir-
cumstance, death, intrigue
and the sentimental romance

America in the late 1940s. It's
not bad to be reminded in the
light-hearted manner as ex-
ecuted by HCP in this show.

Concert plan
is finalized
Grand Bend Concert
Association is in final
preparation for a ticket sales
campaign for a six -concert
series to begin in Grand Bend
Wednesday, October 19 at
Grand Bend United Church.
The association is working
with Youth and Music
Canada, an organization
oriented towards promoting
music in small communities
across Canada, using young
Canadian talent and focusing
on making excellent music
available to persons of all
ages.
Five concerts with a wide
range of experience for con-
cert goers will be given by the
young musicians under the
umbrella of Youth and Music
Canada.
Two bonus concerts have
been arranged by the Grand
Bend Association. In
January, Sound and Image
'84 will feature work of
photographers and musicians
from Lalnbton County. The
second bonus concert will
feature the Forest Excelsior
Band and will be held at
Grand Bend Public School in
April.
• Tickets and information for
the series may be obtained by
phoning association president
Dawn Crabe at 243-2054,
secretary Ted Jackson at
2:18-2499 and ticket chairlady,
Nan Freele • at 238-2071.

for persons interested in the
Exeter area.
At the Wednesday meeting
of the association, Jackson
said that financial help had
come from the Ontario Arts
Council in the form of a grant
to cover a'portion of the cost
of payment for performers.
The group was formed early
this year as a result of the en-
thusiasm within the com-
munity following a concert by
local musicians at Grand
Bend United Church.
Plan advisory
group named
At last week's meeting,
Grand Bend council passed a
bylaw to allow the formation
of a Planning Advisory Com,
mittee after the new provin-
cial Planning Act decreed
that Planning Boards would
no longer be in existence.
Five members of Council
will be on the committee as
well as four members from
the community at large. Com-
munity members appointed
by council were Mae Piggott,
Bill Sturdevant, Doreen
Seguin and Larry Whiting.
However. Whiting, after a
day's consideration came to
the village offices and declin-
ed the appointment. So, ac-
cording to the bylaw, the com-
mittee is still one person
short.
First meeting of the new
committee will be Tuesday,
September 27 at 7:30 p.m.

camp
Rev. and Mrs. John Camp-
bell, Laura and Douglas, and
members of their congrega-

spent last week at the church
camp near Thameswood.
. Many others came for the
evening services.
The children's program
was led by Rev. Lynn
Ridenhour; of Anderson, In-
diana. She conducted a
teaching program, learning
them to help others. They also
had singing and a musical the
last day.
The youth leader was Vince
Guerra who is married to
Ruth Beach; daughter of a
former minister of Church of
God. The youths were most
impressed with his teachings.
The highlight of the week
was the return of Evelyn and
Art Krueger, of Owen Sound,

of God World Conference held
in Nairobi, Kenya. They also
spent some time with
Evelyn's brother, Rev. and
Mrs.. Stan Desjardine and
family in Tanzania and while
there visited several mission
stations. Evelyn feels quite
broken up over the poverty of
the people and how little
freedom they have. At the
Friday night candlelight ser-
vice they sang, "Lord lay
some soul upon my heart."

vices at the ,Church of God

Anglican Church news
Rev. Jim Sutton's sermon
this past Sunday morning was
on our Lord's reply to the
question - "will just a few peo-
ple be saved?"
The following points of our
Lord's reply were stressed.
Try to enter by the narrow
door, so many will seek to
enter and will not be able. The
time is short for we know not
the day or the hour. There.will
be no favourites, if we live in
iniquity, we will be denied en-
trance to the Kingdom of
Heaven. The first shall be
last, and the last will be first.
Therefore if we make wrong
decisions, go back and try
again, and strive to enter by
the narrow door.
Coffee hostess was Mrs.
Kathleen Sutton.

FINAL SHOW — Ensign Nellie Forbush (Colleen Win-
ton) and Emile de Becque (Janos Tessenyi) fall in love
on a South Seas island during World War 11 in Rodgers
and Hammerstein's South Pacific which opened at HCP
August 17 and runs until September 10. Photo by
Richman
South Pacific is
most fitting finale
Fine singers, good timing,
a smooth working set and the
rich romantic schmultz of the
old crowd-pleaser, South
Pacific, brings back fond and
funny memories to theatre-
goers who continue to fill the
big barn at Huron County
Playhouse. The last big -stage
production, the show will run
until September 10.
Director Ron Ulrich has us-
ed his actors well this season.
For instance, Nicola Lipman,
part of the chorus in South
Pacific, starred in The
Miracle Worker and How the
Other Half Loves. In fact,
most of the cast of 29 are quite
familiar to HCP audiences by
this time in the season.
An exception is Janos
Tessenyi, who plays Emile de
Beque. Tessenyi is able to
hone his fine operatic
baritone to balance with or-
chestra as well in duet with
the lighter voice of his roman-
tic counterpoint Colleen Win-
ton. Winton, on her part, sings
and dances with ease through
the taxing variety moods she
must display in the show.
Sharon Dyer, plays Bloody
Mary - a contemporary
Mother Courage - with con-
fidence and wit, with the right
accent and just the right edge
