Zurich Citizens News, 1978-04-20, Page 9SURE SIGN OF SPRING— Looking like the soldiers raising the flag at Iwo Jima, John Laporte of St. Joseph and Doug
McKenzie raise a new bird house at Grand Cove Estates — the retirement park at Grand Bend. There are now about 50
of these in the park, designed specifically for martins, who like apartment living and feed on mosquitos, but they are
sometimes invaded by sparrows and other species. Photo by Fergus Cronin
;�'•ecades are saluted this summer
at Huron Country Playhouse
James Murphy, artistic
director for the Huron Coun-
ty Playhouse released final
plans for its 1978 festival of
summer theatre. The six -
play season which opens
July 4 is a tribute to six
decades.
One new play, Two Below,
will represent the 70's; the
others, ranging back to the
20's, were outstanding hits
of their day. The 20's entry
is a neglected Broadway hit
written in 1917 by a lawyer
from Hamilton. Each play
has something of
significance to say about the
temper of the times which
gave it birth.
As -previously announced,
The Odd Couple, Neil
Simon's hit of the mid 60's
opens the season with a two-
week run beginning July 4.
The second production is
the 1920's Broadway hit,
Parlor Bedroom and Bath
,written by the Hamilton
Lawyer, Charles Bell (in
collaboration with Mark
Swan). Said one critic at its
initial performance, it
seems... "designed solely to
spread the habit of
laughter."
The story, which may
spark some sympathy for
men's lib, concerns the
scrapes a man gets into in
trying to live it up to his
wife's image of him as a
ladies' man! After the
Broadway run, the play was
made into a movie -starring
Buster Keaton. Continuing
as a stock favourite
throughout the 20's, the play
then fell into neglect. The

ing the play its first produc-
tion in perhaps 40 or 50
years.
The third production of the
season speaks for the 70's
and centres on a Canadian
writer, George Robertson.
Mr. Robertson's play, Two
Below, will be receiving its
premiere performances in
this production. Two Below
is a light comedy about two
unlikely types holed up in
the basement apartment of
a Toronto tenement which
happens to be undergoing
demolition.
Author George Robertson,
a native of Brampton, began
his career as an actor and
played leading roles in
several Broadway shows,
has appeared in a dozen
films, including
"Rosemary's Baby", and
recently played the lead in
the CBC feature "Dawson
Patrol" which he also
wrote. Mr

Newly added to the season
is the 50's romantic comedy -
drama, Picnic. The Pulitzer
Prize and Critic's Circle
award-winning play is by
William Inge. It is a story of
conflict and romance spark-
ed when a young vagabond
saunters into a small mid-
western town. The film ver-
sion starred William
Holden, Kim Novak and
Rosalind Russell. Picnic
opens August 15 for a two-
week run.
Springtime For Henry, the
final offering of the season
is a British farce. Since its
original production in the
1930's, Springtime For
Henry has remained a ._
summer stock classic. It has
been so popular that the late
Edward Horton, the distin-
guished American -British
actor, practically made his
career playing Henry. The
show opens August 29 for a
one-week run.

mance schedule is Tuesday
