~AY, MAL 19th, 1958 TEE CANADIAN STATESMAN, EOWMAKV1LL~ ONTABIO ~A~E Rotary Show Big Success Playing to Packed Houses The 1958 Rotary Play was a decided hit. In spite o! a bliz- zard, the opening night crowd O.bwas good, and on the othei- two Dights, th house was packed. Anna.o Rckard dii-ected this yea1w* thoice, "Januany Thaw", and an excellent cast went through their paces for three evenings of good laugbs. The story concerned the things that happen to the Gage famxly - Herbert, played by Keith Jackson; Marge his wife, Lillian Dippell, and thein three children played by Joan Mann, Helen Vanstone and Berta Hig- gon. "jgis is the first time the ~unger'~generation bas assisted a Rotai-y play, and Berta and Helen turned in excellent per- formance&. Father Writes Keith Jackson and Lillian Dippell are almost professionals now. Keitb's portrayal of the absent-minced Herbert who is trying to write a novel in the midst of the series o! crises which descends on the family when they buy an old Connecti- cut fanm house, and Lillian Dip- pell as the wife with apassion for antiques, wene four-star. In the same category were Walter Reynolds as the down-to- eanth fariner wbo has the right to live in the old house, owing to a little clause in the deed which Marge ignored; and bis old-fashioned wife Mathilda (Mossie Heyland) whose coffee, jA-.ham and biscuits finally under- tt'mine even Herbert's indepen- dence. AiU The News As for Howard Rundie, every trne he mnade an appearance as the old gossipy chai-acter up the road, Uncle Walter, he bs-ought the house down. His make-up and costume carried out bis potrayal to perfection. Thene were many laughs caus- ed by Jonathan (Walter Reyn- olds') objections to indoor plumbing and the Democrats. Jonathan and Mathilda return to their farm home after some yeai-s' absence, biinging their errant son Matt (AI Wither~- spoon) with tbem. Matt bas left bebind a reputation as a ne'en- do-well and lady killer. He does seem to bave an aversion for work. Al be . does !rom September to January is sit in a rockîng chair watching Her- bert try to write, whicb lsaa little unnenving. Barbara's fiance George (Don Morris) and Barbara's father Herbent are worried about Matt associating with Barbara, and when the two o! tbem are found missing when a blizzard clamps down, things look pretty bad. Take The Barn However, the supposed runa- ways were only on an errand o! mercy, even if it did take ahl night, and all ends happily with wedding belis in sight for George and Barbai-a, and Matt decîding to get a job. The Gages and Jonathan and'Math- ilda come to an agreeable com- promise 'on living quarters, Marge insisting on i-enovating tSe stone bar-n for living quart- ers when she finds out it ig even older than the bouse. Freida, the independent maîd, played by Bette Stutt; Mr. Loomis, Marge's lawyer (Rex, for thosé Who served for u~ Day in, day out, throughout the year the Red Cross helps let our hospi. talized Veterans know that they are riot forgotten.

Pigs Make Debut Honorable mention should also go to two o! the pnettiest little pigs even to make a stage debut. Tbey bad no rehearsals. In fact, tbey wenen't even the same two pigs. Owner Garnet Rickard just scooped up two at random fxrom the pen at bis farmi each night. On Saturday night they were decorated with a pînk and blue ribbon eacb and took curtain calîs with the cast., In case* you didn't see the play, the pîgs wene brought in !nom the bai-n to keep thema warm on the nigbt o! the bliz- zard, though it wvas probably warmer in the barn because the electricity was off, which meant no beat from the oil burning furnace in the bouse. Loss of Dave Morrison Credit goes to dii-ector Anna- belle Rickard, the cast, Walter DeGeen for another, fine stage set; Forbes Heyland for prop- erties; David Higgon - lighting; Grace Reynolds - prompten; Tom Rehder - special effects (it is not known if the pigs came undei' tbis or not); Milda Morris - make-up; Arthur Morgan - bus- iness manager; Peter Newell - cbainmahi.

Rotarian David Morrison, a charter member of Bowmanville Club who had been in charge of publicity, and wbo usually wel- comed the audiences attending the play.
