was given a mixed reception There were those in the audience who felt so they said that it wasnt worth climbing the stairs to hear But there were others who said There was nothing wrong with Eric He had an audience For one reason or another there were three churches hold ing Christmas parties the high school was having its annual ath letic night and other events had been booked for the same even ing there were not more than at the town hall to hear Eric Christmas The advance pub licity had been limited because that sponsoring organization the local and P club hadnt re ceived confirmation of his visit to Newmarket until the first of December It is difficult even for a vet eran performer to play to rows of empty seats It is even more difficult to amuse and entertain such a mixed audience a was present on Friday night What will satisfy some will bore others and that is exactly what happened Personally we liked his relax ed manner and informality We enjoyed some numbers and were impressed with the scope of his talents and interpretative pow- eis We forgave him his corny jokes and some of the other less desirable items on the program which thought could have been introduced ill felt that he probably totally unprepared for the rows try bumpkins Why I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw him come out on the stage in that outfit com mented one woman who has seen more than an amount of good plays and var iety shows When he came on the stage prior to the show I de cided that he must be one of Mr Christmas employees But when the curtain went up there ho was with his hair and wearing slacks a sports jacket and sweater Hed prob ably decided that we in New market wouldnt know any bet tor so he hadnt bothered to dress properly she added Everyone seemed to be en thusiastic about the young Can adian actress Miss Anne Reiser who assisted Mr Christmas in his show and certainly everyone was delighted with the beautiful solos the contribution of Eliza beth to the program Mrs Beer was
