Feb. 23. 1972 AL PALA WPA OAR KE AN Uni a 1 / Heather Dorrell and Doug Tangney were selected best actress and actor for. their parts in 'Happy Ending," one of three one-act plays staged last week by Cartwright H.S. students. Both played their roles very well, Heather as a meddling novelist looking for an ending to a book, and Doug as an harassed and sometimes confused husband accused of seeing another woman. The play was a comedy; and really did have a 'Happy Ending." A total of $78,658.50 was spent by the Salvation Army for services to Ontario Coun- ty residents in 1971, Briga- dier S.A.

It Cartwright students provide entertaining theatre "evening - Last Thursday and Friday ~ evenings, students of Cart- wright High School pre- sented a Programme- of three One Act Plays. All three plays, "Happy Ending," 'Ah, Sweet My- stery," . and "Along Bridal Path' were complete student' productions, which included set design, lighting, direction, and of course the acting. The quality of the three productions was very good, with several of the charac- ters indicating some fine stage talent. The plays, which ranged from light drama, to light mystery- comedy, to comedy-farce provided what most theatri- cal productions endeavour to provide: entertainment. The first play, 'Happy Ending,' dealt lightly with the subject tof marital in- fedelity.' Briefly, a woman "+ novelist, four-times married, comes to the home of her sister intending to find an ending for her latest book. She discovers that her sis- been turns out it is not the woman's husband, but rat- her. the husband of the woman's daughter who has been seeing another women, i the, suspense is established early' in the play, though it is not til part way through that a fi 2 4( play; ahd picked the best the audience finds out wh is going on, All these kooky charac- ters; a nurse, a grand- mother, an aunt, an uncle, a cook and a doctor are waiting for something. And as the play progresses, it is obvious that what they are waiting for has some signifi- . cance to each. The audience - finally learns that they have been waiting with great anticipation for the final' 'installment of murder story in a mystery magazine, A touch of irony is added to the humour by the fact that a mysterious boarder in the house turrs out to be the writer of the mystery story. The antics of the kooky characters provides the humour, especially when they all gather to read aloud the final installment. "Along the Bridal Path" spoofed in humourous fash- ion courting and marriage. The setting appropriately enough is a bridal rental shop on the "upper west side - of Blackstock." The charac- ters include a shy, groom-to be who is waiting for his wedding suit to be fitted; a woman who rents a wedding These complications give\ gown with the hopes her some good ironic humour. There is a nice little "twist" at the end, which true to the title, gives the play a "Happy Ending." Heather Dorrell as the lady writer, "and Doug Tangney as the suspected husband beth give extremely good performa- nces. : "Ah, Sweet Mystery," "brought a host of kooky characters onto the stage: An element of mystery and 'boyfriend will take the-hint, and a clerk in the bridal rental shop whose ambitions are to get a man. She finally does, and though her method and choice of man (the shy groom-to-be) may be slightly suspect, the resulting hu- mour, including some slap- stick, - provides a lot 'of laughs. Three judges, Mrs. Diane Lackie of Port Perry, Mrs. Jean Colby of Oshawa, and Beth Aston a grade 12 student at Courtrice Secon- dary School judged the best actor and actress, As 'Mrs. Lackie said their décision was not an easy oneto make, and she .had deserved words of praise for all the performances. She also noted that it was good to see students from all grades taking part. The judges' decision for best play was "Along the Bridal Path," directed by students Leslie Wright and Richard Gunther, ' Two players from the "Happy Ending," Heather Dorrell and Doug Tangney were judged best actressand actor. In making these decisions, Mrs. Lackie said both displayed a lot of talent, and good stage presence. The judges made mention of several others who also gave excellent performances. - Of course the playswere not without their faults, (is there any play that doesn't have faults?) However, all the students- responsible for the staging of the three productions deserve credit for providing some very - good, polished theatrical entertainment. Not only were the plays enjoyable for the audience, but it looked as if the players were having a great time as well. And that is what amateur theatre is all about.

Favourites are spiced pears, curried mixed fruit, and' honey- glazed peaches Niagara orchards. I Announcing the winners of KIN L&TTERY 11 7 BY << $100,000.00 John D.
