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 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.

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.
