Two Canuck Plays Vie For Dominion Top DramaAwards By FRED KERNER Canadian Press Staff Writer + London, Ont., April 29 (CP).--Of 10 Canadism-written plays offered at Dominipn Drama Festival re- gional competitions this year, only two will be presented when 13 drama groups vie for acting honors here next week. They are "Maria Chapdelaine" by Paul Gury of Montreal and "Brothers in Arms," by Merril Dennison 'of Toronto. " The $100 author's prim for the best Canadian play will not be pre- sented this year since the festival board was unable to send an ad- judicator to the regional festivals. . However, the Sir Barry Jackson Challenge Trophy for the best pre- sentation. of a Canadian written play will be awarded one of these two groups. Of the more than 50 plays in the various competitions, only one--a fantasy by Carl Dubuc of Montreal --was expressly "written for the festival. Presented im both Eng- lish and French, it received high praise from the adjudicator, but was not a winner. A three-act version of Louis Hemon's French-Canadian classic "Maria. Chapdelaine," is one of the two plays to be presented in the French section of the festival. He- mon's tragic love story of Quebec homesteaders is dane by Ottawa's Le Caweau players. An oft-produced, one-act comedy, "Brothers in Arms," is presented by the coe, Ontario, Little Theatre, in the English section. The play concerns the almost vain efforts of a former army officer to get to an important business meeting in To- ronto from a backwoods vacation. Other Canadian - written plays presented at regional festivals were: "Lorazim," by Carl Dubuc, a fan- tasy, taking place in the 10th year of the Atomic Era, presented by the Carl Dubuc players. : "Qverlaid," a comedy about an opera-loving farmer who wants to go to New York and his too- sensible daughter who prevents the trip, written by Robertson Davies of Peterboro, Ontari, and pre- sented by the Ottawa Drama League. "Still Stands the House," a drama of family life in the Prairies, by Gwendolyn Pharis of Ringwood, Alta. presented by the RA Players of Oftawa. : "Plame in the Mist," a three-act play by.George L. Watson of To- ronto, was offesed by the Guelph Little Theatre. "Madame Verite at Bath," by George Palmer, Regina, a charming 18th century comedy, preserted by the Welland Little Theatre. "Pipistrelle of Aquitaine," by Munro Maclennan, Ottawa, a blank verse drama about King Fichard I, by Hamilton Players' Guild. » "Relief," a tragedy of the Sas- katchewan wheat fields by Minnie Bicknell, Marshall, Sask., was given by Swan River, Man., Drama Club. "EbbeTide," drama of four white persons in a B.C. Indian village, by A. M. D. Fairbairn, Victoria, pre- sented: by Manitoba Dramatic Society." ' There were no Canadian plays in Nova Scotia, central Ontario and Saskatchewan festivals.

He had previously d ted it, after reviewing the Campus Drama On Threshold Of New Life By FRED KERNER Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, April 26 (CP).--The amateur theatre movement in Canada, which can be traced back almcst three centuries has been given continual and vital support by the Dominion's universities and colleges. Either as an academic course or as extra-curricular activity, drama is today recognized as the one in- terest--with the exception of sports--which stands unanimously high on the list of student efforts. Campus dramatic societies generally are extra-curricular, but in some cases curricular and extra-curricu- la dramatics function side by side. Yet with popularity equalling, or far surpassing, that of past years, one aspect of college dramatics has become increasingly apparent. The wide interest in this field is not backed up by sufficient facilities to accommodate dramatic production. Drama programs range from a single production at some universi- ties to as many as six full-scale productions . a year, but a recent survey showed a lack of adequate staging equipment at most seats of higher education. Exceptions to this lack of facili- Cres can be found at the University of British Columbia and at Acadia University, Wolfville, NS., both of which have well-equipped theatres on the campus. Fair equipment and seating space are available at University of Toronto's Hart House and McGill University's Moyse Hall. May Better Calibre An increasing tendency to in- clude dramatics as an academic subject is apparent at many uni- versities, This move from the classification of "drama" as a cul- |, tural interest to its acceptance as a serious field for study and experi- ment probably will form a firm basis for the expansion of dramatic interest in Canada. Undoubtedly it will better the calibre of Canadian talent by allowing academic credit for those who want to put the time and effort into such work. The natural outcome of the in- terest shown by Canadian students is the instigation of inter-university drama festivals which provide an outlet for display of student pro- ductions outside the limits of home campii. Such festivals have not as yet been extensively attempted among the universities of Eastern Canada. In the West, however, inter- university festivals have attained much success and are an annual event. Non-competitive in nature, the Western Universities Drama Festival draws entries from the Universities of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Mani- toba. ! : To Reorganize Festival An attempt to revive the idea of an intercollegiate festival in East- ern Canada after its dormancy during the war years met with fail- ure last season. However, the suc- cess achieved in the West has pro- vided the impetus for continued effort to reorganize the festival next autumn. This success in the West may well be the foundation for the organi- zation of a Dominion-wide univers- ity festival, following the lines which university sports and debating ac- tivities have taken. It also will probably encourage more * active participation ~f university groups in Dominion Drama Festival competi- tion which in the past has been limited to two or three groups.
