THE HAILEYBURIAN 'No. 8 "HAILEYBURY. ONTARIO -- _THURSDAY, MAY 3rd, om Subscription Rate: $2.00 per vear Vol. 47; H.H.S. Operetta Shows Taients of Locai Students Large Chivide Appiaud Pleasing Performance; Students to be Congratulated By Terry Cassidy The operetta was wonderful! It is felt that we could have put it on for another week and still have a packed house. The most important critic of all, the paying customer, had nothing but praise after the performance. We can mark this down as the second very successiul operetta out ol two performed. | think plenty of congratulations are in order. inthete comes JoAnn Elton, a very creditable Elaine in the op- eretta. Without her fine singing and good acting, the whole pro- duction would not have been half as good. Mr. Hannah and Miss Keller did a good job as musical direc- tors and struggled for weeks to keep a chorus going. Mr. Hannah also played Billy McDoodle, the hero. I could go on all day about John Campbell as Don Diego, Jean Tulloch as Suzanna, his wite, Lena Mongeau and Mary Briden as their daughters (and charm- ing daughters they made, too) and Dave May with Marlene Weston as Mr. and Mrs. Wollop, a sausage tycoon and his wife, All of these performed excellent- ly. Our operetta, being bigger and better than most, boasted two comedy teams, not just one. The first was a pair of unemployed sailors, Slim Malone (Roy Smith in civilian life) and Shorty Sim- mons (Cliff Ruddy). On the last night everybody was in a happy mood and we decided that when Shorty threw his apple core out into the wings (the last two nights he had hit the chorus and we were mad) we threw an orange back at him, It was good for a little aun The highlight of their performance on Thursday and Friday was a song, "Treasure". The inability of Cliff's manly voice to hit the high notes start- ed the laughing. On Thursday the quartet, laughing themselves, managed to remain on stage. The next performance was too much for them and they fled in the middle of the second chorus.. Our other comedy team featur- ed a dull-witted servant, Paula, (Suzanne Smith) and a _ blood- thirsty man-of-all-work, Manuel (characteristically played by An- dré Parent, who is blood-thirsty by nature and who has an accent on top of that). These two pro- audience ; Association, LIBERAT, MEMBER WILL RDDRESS MEETING IN ENGLEHART TONIGHT Walter Thomson M.P., of the Ontario Liberal Party, will pay a visit to this area, it was an- nounced today by Douglas Scan- fan, President- of the Northern Ontane district, the Ontario Lib- _ eral Association, In response to invitations, Mr. Thomson will address public meetings to. be held in Englehart this, Thursday and in Kirkland Lake on Friday of this week. The Englehart ap- pearance is at the request of the Temiskaming Federal Libera and the Kirkland Lake meeting on the occasion of the annual meeting of the local Liberal Association. The Engle- hart meeting is to be held in' the Palace Theatre and called for 8.00 p.m.; the Kirkland Lake gathering will be in the Curling Club and is scheduled for 8.15 p. m. The public is invited to at- tend both meetings. vided many good comedy scenes. The main plot of the operetta was as follows: A bankrupt Spanish family is cheered by the news that an Americano has the long-lost map of an ancestral treasure. The treasure is not the only reason for the Americano's daughter, Elaine, is in love with a boy her father doesn't like. So they "took the trip to separate the couple. However, the boy, Billy followed as a stowaway. The first search for the trea- ure failed, However, they dis- cover a mistake and try again. Meanwhile, Billy McDoodle has been disguised as a toreador. Tobasco Tamales. But Manuel, a servant is out to kill Tobasco, 'so Billy changes his disguise to that of a waiter. The second attempt for the treasure has also failed. All seems lost when Billy, as the waiter, spills vinegar on the chart. This brings out its secret W riting and the tredsure-is' found. All in all, it was a very good operetta, performed well, and it definitely keeps up last year's tra-~ dition. WEEK'S WEATHER Week ending May 2nd, 1951 Max. Min.

The ladies of the I.0,D.E. ex- tend their thanks to the P.-F. Hardware and the Canadian Gen- eral Electric for the use of stoves and refrigerators, and there were many tempting dishes produced during the sessions: Husbands encouraged their wives to attend the school, young girls were quick to take advantage of chance to learn a bit of house- hold science, and the men even attended in fair numbers. The first evening Harry Jen- kins was master of ceremonies; the second was in charge of Wy- na Edey, and on the third night R. D, Cumming and Max Whitby teamed up and did a fine job of entertaining the large crowd. At the final session, Mrs. Cliff Low- ery, Regent of the Chapter, ex- tended thanks to all who had helped to make the event a suc- cess and also presented Mrs. Neal who conducted the school for the company, with a nice gift to re- mind her of her visit to Hailey- bury. ie Mrs. R. D. Cumming and her committee, Mrs. Edey, Mrs, J.E Dunn and Mrs. Elton, organized the school, with the Regent, Mrs. Lowery. A vote of thanks was tendered to Rey. Father Lafleur for the use of the parish hall.
