The John Elliott Theatre was packed Thursday evening for the benefit gala opening of L. Arthur Rose and Douglas Furber’s “Me and My Girl,” staged by Georgetown Globe Productions. Bill Snibson (Keith Mills) d t The Duchess’ second task was to separate the two lovers, since Sally was no longer of the proper station for an Earl. She was helped in this endeavor by her daughter, Lady Jaqueline Carstone (Lois Fraser), who, “although engaged to the Hon. Gerald Bolingbroke (David Brock), was a finan- cial opportunist — and Snibson was her opportuni- ty. Lady Jaqueline’s banal attempts at seduction were condemned by Sally, who compared her behavior to that seen in a “farmyard.” h bloke from Lambeth, England, until his aunt Maria, Duchess of Dene (Margaret Eggleton-Kaye) discovered Snibson was the only son of her deceased brother, the Earl of Harefold. Maria decided it was her duty to transform her nephew into a gentleman. Half her time was spent teaching Snibson how to speak properly, behave properly and interact with the right people. Not an easy task when it involved a man who had meaningful soliloquies with the tiger Tug and who advised his girlfriend, Sally, (Allyson Tracey) they now had enough money for her to have her nails “‘manacled.” OFFICE Magi 265 Guelph St. Georgetown _ 877-2300 Me and My Girl plays at the John Elliott Theatre through December 4th The family’s solicitor, Parchester (David Ambrose) was constantly on hand.to advise the Duchess on how to get rid of Sally, but as the story unfolded, Parchester found himself to be one of a number of people who sided with Sally against the Duchess. Parchester’s ly, although initially a spineless one, was Sir John Tremayne (Brian Banyard), a child- hood friend of the Duchess. The Duchess’ strong skills of persuasion con- vinced Sally she was no longer good enough for Snibson and Sally left Harefold Hall to return-to Lambeth. Back at Harefold Hall, Tremayne’s courage began to. blossom and he devised a project to make Sally more suitable to the Duchess. While the Duchess meta- / morphosed Snibson, -a friend of Tremayne’s worked on Sally. The ending of “Me and My Girl” is too delightful to give away and the play is well worth the price of admission. The music, the singing and the dancing was properly deserving of the standing ovation at the con- clusion of the peformance. Snibson’s humor was impeccably timed, Sally’s singing was angelic, the chorus had enough energy for the entire audience and Parchester’s leaps would make one believe he was part gazelle. Upcoming performances will be held tonight (Saturday), Thursday, Friday and next Saturday nights at 8 p.m., Dec. 1, 2, 3, and 4-at 8 p.m. plus there will be a 2 p.m. matinee on Nov. 28. N
