Following the final adjudica- tio' a reception was held in the Canadian Legion lounge for the players, the patrons and patron- esses, members of tthe board of education and their wives. "The Devil on Stilts," present- ed by the Gateway Theatre Guild of North Bay, was the first play on the second program of the QUONTA drama festival in New _ Liskeard High School Auditorium, Friday night. A light comedy, the play was pronounced by the adjudicator, W. Cas Milne, to-be an excellent sel- "ection, having good substance and was well developed, despite the fact that "some bore with a cam- era kept walking back and forth in front of the stage." He commended the quality of the telephone conversation but spoke of the need of only a pause in certain places, saying that a pause in a play can be full of meaning, but a hole can only be full of nothing. Mr. .Milne considered the sec- ond play, "One of Us," by 'the Porcupine Little Theatre, of Tim- mins, a very bad play done by a very competent cast. Lines were stilted and he suggested that mad- ness should never be treated as a comedy but should be played with _an intensity. that was lacking in this performance. _A Fyrench-play, "Au Paradis," again brought members of the "Gateway Theatre Guild to tthe stage,' in what was adjudicated as a delightful, delicate play, well vacted and with a generally ex- cellent effect. -:In the last play, '"Mooney's Kid Don't Cry" by two members of the Kirkland Lake Drama Association, Mr. Milne pronounced tthe per- formance of both players as a fine and moving portrayal cot a dififi- cult play.

Following the adjudications, the players, patrons and patronesses, members of the town council and their wives attended a reception in the Legion Lounge. Saturday afternoon, Central Manitoulin High School players, Sudbury High School modern lan- guage department and the Lively High School Drama Club provid- ed the program, Production of three plays by high school students was held Sat- urday on the last day of the QUONTA One Act Drama Festival. The first one staged by the Central Manitoulin High School Players, was "Bernardine," scenes one, two and three. This was a play about young people by young people, who, according to W. S. Milne, the adjudicator, were too near the type-they were presenting to enter completely into the stage charac- terization. He also stressed ithe necessity of learning to stand still at times. The French \speaking play, "La Grammaire," presented by the Modern Languages, Department of the Sudbury High School, received commendation for knowledge of line. Costuming was its weakest feature. "Elizabeth Refuses," given by the Lively High School Drama Club, was a delightful version of Jane Austen's tale of the 18th Cen- tury, with authentic costuming, good arrangement of furniture and well-chosen music. Trevor Cum- mins, as Mr. Collins, the self-sat- isfied ministerial suitor; was prais- ed for his handling' of the role, as was Dianna Haas, who 'played Lady Catherine De Burgh. At the evening performance, Sudbury's Little Theatre Guild] presented. "The Browning Ver- sion," "a play whith "was "much longer than any of the others; last- ing over an hour. Mr. Milne con- sidered this a well thought out and consistent. play, a competent piece of work, so well_done. that those performing" in it.should be lable to stand outspoken 'criticism in order to make it a little better. Al Hemrend was especially com- mended for his portrayal of: An- drew Crocker-Harris. "Riders to the Sea," the entry from the Sault Theatre-Workshop, was commended for it's sound ef- fects and good make-up, but told there was insufificient.contrast be- tween ithe ages of the two girls. The keening of the mourners was a difficult piece of acting, well done but started too soon. The final. presentation was. the most unusual of the entire Festi- val and also 'the only Canadian play on the program. Mr. Milne spoke of ithis fact and said that he hoped in future an award would be given for a Canadian play. He al- so stated that this group was the first one to go to such pains to provide an appropriate setting. He advised that they wait for their "laughs" in order that the succeed- ing lines might be heard.
