~ of whom, 20 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., December 5, 1979 Praise for Choral Society by John Stewart One hundred years ago, Gilbert & Sullivan premiered the Pirates of Penzance in New York. That same musi- cal, a century later, as presented by the Scugog Choral Society was as popu- lar and entertaining as'ever. The local society must be credited with dn enormous amount of work in a very short time in creating a very talented production. The leads sang extremely well, but in all fairness, they were supported by a very enthu- siastic cast of daughters, pirates and policemen, each through facial expressions, actions and strong choral work, added significantly to <he humour and melody of Gilbert & Sullivan's work. The sets and costuming were very impressive and obviously took a great deal of effort from those involved. Marion Rodway's vocal echoing with the flute was an incomparable delight and one of the highlights of her very strong lead. Hugh Baird's solos as Frederick very definitely portrayed the strength and passion of a 'pirate' torn between his love and his duty. Charlie White was at once a very imposing but loveable Pirate King, and he obvious- ly enjoyed his role. His lieutenant, Bill Slute, added a touch of romaticism to the "orphan band." Bruce McMillan's ability to sing Gilbert & Sullivan's very difficult lyrics faster than the audience could listen was no less than amazing. Rita .

This was handled very .clearly, and her facial gestures accentuated the humour of the nursemaid's confusion. Paul Arculus 'made the very "stoic" and "brave" Police Sergeant very human and very funny with good singing and excellent facial expressions. Gloria Forder and her orchestra provided very lively support to the vocal numbers. In all, Grace Hastings, the director, can be proud of this production and the many talented members of the Choral Society who helped to put this show "on the road." They obviously enjoyed themselves.

This had to be cancelled at the last minute, because of an extended presentation by the commit- tee for the new library fund drive, led by Nelson Patter- son. The presentation was foll- owed by a somewhat heated question period. Doris Grierson questioned the seemingly popular agree- ment of the building and locating of the proposed new library. After stating that it was quite clear to her, that it was the young people who were the enthusiastic contributors on their door to door campaign, one library committee speaker, no doubt dubious of the indignation these age-barrier remarks could raise, fled the .hall thereby escaping the wrath she raised among some senior citizens. We will schedule our penny bingo for a later date. Again this year, we thank Beare Motors on Queen Street for clearing their showroom in order to accomodate our senior citizens watching the Santa Claus Parade. We appreciate this thoughtful- ness and hospitality. Calling all Senior Square dancers Wednesday morn- ings 10:00 a.m. at Latcham Centre.

We learned with regret this week of the passing of a former county councillor collegue and past Warden of the United Counties - Mr. Earl Warden of Newtonville. Earl has set something of a record in his municipal poli- tical career in having been acclaimed for Council, Deputy Reeve and Reeve of Clarke Township and then Warden of the United Coun- ties of Durham and Nor- thumberland. .
