The Goderich Little Theatre's production of the Neil Simon comedy, "Barefoot in the Park", was delightful says Signal -Star drama critic, Susan Hundertmark in her review of the play, which featured Margaret Hill, Don (Rocky) Rivera and Philip Main in starring roles. (photo by Sharon Dietz) Barefoot in the Park was an eveningof entertainment BY SUSAN HUNDERTMARK Goderich Little Theatre's production of Barefoot in the Park Thursday night was delightfully funny and wonderfully acted and directed: _. . Neil Simon's play about the first apart- ment of newlyweds with a six -day-old mar- riage has much charm today"as it did when originally written in the 1960s. A few lines, however, are dated -by -the sexism of suggesting that a happy marriage is only possible. when the wife takes care of her husband and makes him feel important. Margaret Hill sparkles as the en- thusiastic young wife, Corie Bratter who's determined to make ashowpiece out of her fifth floor walk-up apartment even though there's no bathtub and a closet -sized bedroom. Bubbly and adventuresome, Corie wastes no time setting up her mother, played by Joyce Kuran, with the middle- aged playboy Victor Velasco (Michael Watts) and proceeds to have a much better time on the double date than her mother or her patient but practical husband, Paul ,(Philip Main). Hill is especially entertaining as a tipsy Corie who wears Velasco's Russian hat tip- ped over her eyes and suggests she and her husband run through the building knocking on doors and yelling "Police." Joyce Kuran is lots of fun as Mrs. Banks, the nervous but obliging mother who swallows pink pills like candy. Kuran's facial expressions say it all when her character is exhausted from climbing the five flights of stairs, is playing the long- suffering mother and is secretly delighted at compliments by Velasco. Philip Main does a good job as Paul, the P.U.C. 64 West Street 524-7371 practical young lawyer who makes six cents on his first case. He's a witty grumbler who who algn has a hard time on the stairs especially when he's carrying Mrs. Banks ep J.he .five flights after several glasses of Ouzo, a Greek liquor. He's hilarious when he's stinking drunk, . sick from a cold and barefoot after walk- ing barefoot in the park to show his wife how adventuresome he is. Though he seems to have a little trouble with his accent (which wavers from Scot- tish to German), Michael Watts is enter- taining as the exotic and lecherous Velasco who says he's at the awkward age of 58 since dirty old men get away with More. Dashing and a little bit dangerous, Velasco is the catalyst to which all the other character's react, often hilariously. Both the telephone repair man (Don Rivera) and the delivery man (Douglas Palmer) take their humor from the ex- hausting climb to the apartment. Rivera is noteworthy with his goofy manner and Brooklyn accent. The setting, a small bachelor apart- ment, is well -constructed with a cleverly designed window ledge which the eccen- tric Velasco creeps across to his attic apartment when his locks have been changed. The broken skylight which lets in the snow, is also cleverly done, suspended from the ceiling of The Livery stage. And, it's easy to imagine the long flight of stairs to be climbed as characters yell down the stairwell to warn their visitors of the exercise they should expect. Goderich Little Theatre's Barefoot in the Park was an evening of great entertain- ment and a showcase for the talent for comedy possessed by local actors. Hunting ihope to keep sportenjoyable en• oyab e The flight of an arrow or the path of a bullet - having started either there is no retraction. Safety is a particular concern to approx- imately 50 Hunter Education Instructors from throughout southwestern Ontario who met recently to discuss, update and improve upon their efforts to ensure that hunting remains a safe and enjoyable sport. The meeting was held at the Hullett Pro- vincial Wildlife Area and was sponsored by the Ministry of Natural Resources in conjunction with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunter (O.F.A.H.). Following the we *ming cofrunents by Andy Houser, WinghamDistrict Manager the instructors were updated regarding the Ministry of Natural Resources Hunter Education program and policies by Bill McKittrick, Provincial Hunter Education Co-ordinator and Terry Smeltzer, Chair- man of the Hunter Education Committee of the OFAH. Expert lectures accom- LATIONJL' S wy�raraorar.;r�rrrurir 1 an' � .xxweow ,.vzt�rrr.�4 . naOOMYi a air " . inxOMOY ur)l panied by practical demonstrations were provided by Dave Ward, Aylmer and Vite Chomicki, Lucan, on primitive firearms' and archery respectively. According to Conservation Officer, Blake Evans, who is in charge of the Hunter Education Program for Wingham District, "It was felt that the Hunter Education program, having experienced great success throughout the years could be further improved by the establishment of effective lines of communication among fellow instructors and between instructors and the Ministry of Natural Resources. The interest and dedication of the instruc- tors was shown by the excellent atten- dance and the numerous and varied ques- tions and comments regarding Hunter Education in Ontario." A highlight of the workshop was the presentation of Twenty-five Year Service Awards to instructors by the Ministry of Natural Resources for their dedication and contributions in- the field of hunter education.
