The play also featured some audience participation as beach bails were tossed freely among the spectators at one point during the show. The play is also adaptable as a Christmas story, and allows plenty of leeway for interpretation. Darryl Vaneyk (as Goofus) beits out "Happy Arn F' in Enniskillen Public School's production of "Goofus and the Golden Goose" performed last Tuesday in the school auditorium. people to the story's hero, but the goose herseif protects Goofus from these grasping types with a mysterious pow- er. When one unwitting inn- keeper's daughter trieci to pluck a valuable feather from the goose, she becomes per- manently stuck to it. Others Who corne to her aid suffer the same fate, and soon the goose has gained a long line-up of unfortunate hangers-on. Goofus decides that the King may have a solution to thei r troubles, so the group sets out for the village. ORAb NOOPENING Meanwhile, back at the castle, the royal family and court are trying in vain to make the young princess happy on her birthday. But nothing seems toýlift ber out of the gloomy mood, and in desperation, the King offers ber hand in marriage to the person who can make her laugb. Where ail others fail, Goofus and bis unusual party suc- ceed, and the princess laughs uproariously at their plight, which she assumes is 'the clever ploy of a company of comedians. She too is enchanted by the golden goose and can't resist touching the bird, but the Little Green Man comes to the rescue of all the captives by providing Goofus with the magic. verse wbich releases them. The King offers Goofus bis just reward, but he hesitates to take tbe Princess' band in marriage because, as he puts it, "I really wouldn't know how to deal witb a princess." Astonished, the princess asks, "How can you compare a goose with a princess?" and he scratches his bead and replies, "You see, a goose neyer answers back." AlI ends happily, bowever, with everyone, including the penitent brothers Spoofus and Rufus, receiving an invitation to the castle for the birthday party. Bowmanville Beach Goofus and the Golden Goose is not the first musical production written by Mrs. Pascb. In collaboration with ber husband Silvio, a compos- er and musician, the pair wrote "A Gift of the Sun", a tribute to the Canadian cen-, tennial, which is now in its second printing. Both of tbese efforts have been pub- lished by the Waterloo Music Company. Mrs. Pasch bas also written three other plays, but Goofus and the Golden Goose is especially meaningful for people in this area. Mrs. Pasch conceived the idea for the story at Cedar Crest Beach bere in Bowmanville. As she tells it, one day she saw a wooden decoy, floating in front of ber property at the beach. She fished it out of the water, painted it gold and then found the inspiration to write a story about it. Both the play and the music "for its catchiy songs were written right 'at ber cottage three years ago. Lt was first performed by students at Cornell School in Scarborough, and introduced to the Enniskillen pupils by Ross Metcalf last Christmas, when Mrs. Pasch made a visit to the school. Busy Schedule If September seems to be an unusual time for a school group to be presenting a full scale production, the reason can be found in the author's busy schedule. For the past few years, Mrs. Pasch has spent several months in Austria, teaching movement classes at her private studio while her hus- band attends the University of Vienna. The production was actually slated for June, but Mrs. Pasch was unable to get back from Europe in time to see it. As a resuit, Ross Metcalf wrote and told her that the presentation would be delayed, on Iher behaf.. Since Mrs. Pasch is sche- duled to return to Vienna tomorrow, the play had to be fit into a rather tigbt schedule. As it was, many of the students involved in the pro- worth while.
