16 -- PORT PERRY STAR REAL ESTATE -- Tuesday, November 7, 1989 Port Perry Star editor John XU A 0, rte McClelland Is sworn to se- crecy about the real identity of this Halloween ghoul who caused more than one young trick or treater to gasp in hor- ror on arriving on the door-stop. Suffice to say, this spooky character was seen In the vicinity of Lilla Street In Port Perry. Uxbridge Players fo present comedy The Uxbridge Players, a near- by community theatre group, kick off their season with a hilarious homicidal comedy by Jack Sharkey entitled, 'Par for the Corpse' on November 17, 18, 24 and 25th at the Uxbridge Music Hall. Now in their seventh season, this fine little theatre group has been performing comedy, drama, murder mystery and recently children's theatre to the delight of Uxbridge and vicinity theatre goers. Many of their patrons come from Toronto and it's sur- rounding areas. The productions are held at the newly renovated historic Uxbridge Music Hall complete with lovely wood floor- ing, gilded overhanging balcony and huge chandelier. The building is dated to the early 1900's, 1901 being it's actual construction date and provides a wonderful am- bience for the dinner theatre pro- ductions by the group. The action takes place in the Catskill Mountains at the rustic retreat "of Alexandra Ellis, a somewhat absent-minded novelist who is working on her latest novel. Invited guests of "Alex's" begin arriving and the audience is introduced to the cast of characters, 10 in all. The first act is filled with side- splitting one-liners and ears need to be finely tuned to keep up with the pace of jokes. The second act settles into the murky motives and murderous goings-on with endless specula- tions by cast and audience alike. A snow blizzard keeps the guests trapped at the house and soon everyone is suspecting each other. The third act brings startling revelations combined with twist upon twist concluding with a suspenseful and climactic ending. The play is very much in the vein of the highly successful television series, 'Murder She Wrote.' Barbara Brooks, a seasoned and accomplished direc- tor with the group is still fresh after directing last November's hit, "Odd Couple," the female version, and spring's 'Don't Tell Mother." Combined with seven new faces on the stage, this play makes for an extremely refreshing production. Performances are scheduled for Fridays, November 17 & 24 for play only and Saturday, November 18 & 25 for dinner theatre and/or play only. Tickets and gift certificates are available at the Yellow Brick Road/Radio Shack, 6 Brock .St. W., in Uxbridge. J A busy time for t Scugog Island Area News by Mrs. Earl Reader The "Head" U.C.W. met on Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. Clara Dowson with 14 ladies present. The theme of the Devotional period was based on Christmas as there may not be a meeting in Dec. It was suggested that we say a special prayer for the people to whom we send Christmas cards. During the roll call, members were requested to tell about a childh Christmas that stood out in their memory. This led to a variety of experiences. It was reported that a member had recently called on the former Elizabeth Stichmann of Toronto but formerly of Con. 6-E and a former member of the U.C.W. In sympathy, we learned that Elizabeth had lost her oldest son recently with leukemia. We were reminded that a former member, Lenore Blueman, who has been in hospital for several years, has a 78th birthday this week. Members were informed that the Annual Mystery Sister supper will be held this year in the form of a buffet, turkey supper at Hank's Bakery at 6:30 p.m. of Wed. Nov. 23. Gifts around 5 or 6 dollars. On Nov. 13 the "Head" U.C.W. will go to the Nursing Home at 1:30 p.m. to entertain for the Nov. birthdays. In the early part of the new year the members will do quilting on a quilt - "Falling bricks" for Freida Cochrane at the home of Jan. Gerrow. The social peripd and lunch ended with a special "Black 'Forest Birthday Cake' being presented to Myrtle Gimblett for cutting and sharing. The Christian Women's meeting was well attended at the Masonic Hall on Thursday night. In the pie making demonstration, many experts received some new tips. The next meeting will be Thursday Nov. 30. The special feature will be by a lady who makes porcelain dolls. The Manchester U.C.W. have invited the Island U.C.W.'s to join them Thursday Nov. 9 at 2 p.m. when a guest speaker will be Shel- ly Wright, who will speak on 'Horizons of Friendship." On Sunday there was another good attendance at the Island United where Rev. Atkinson fill- ed in for the service while Rev. Lynne Belfry-Graham attended in the Sunday School. Recently, it was good to have he UCW Mrs. Marion Hughes, formerly of Port View Beach but now comfor- tably situated in Peterborough, call several U.C.W. members and friends while she and Morven were visiting in Port Perry. Years ago, farming, preaching, teaching, basket making or trap- ping was the main work of Scugog Island residents. Today we hear of a variety of businesses carried on in or from Island homes. It was my recent pleasure to become ac- quainted with Paula Weisflock, who has lived at Fralick's Beach for 2 years where she has a business of all kinds of silk flower arrangements which she former- ly did in Oshawa for 6 years. She eventually hopes to teach a course at a Senior Citizens Centre in Oshawa. I'm sure she would welcome you at any time to gee her work. You can easily find her place because she has a sign on the lawn. She could give you a phone number when you call on her, if you are interested in con- tacting her again. In the near future she may even decide to have an Open House. Don't forget the 'Food Bank' every Sunday in Nov. at the Island United Church. FALSE PROMISES?
