Barb Carnegie put the final touches on John Stewart's face? & ALBERT AUTO 585 KING STREET Cabaret '79 ... an evening of fun and frolic!!! '""Fantastic", "Terrific!" Thats just some of the hundreds of comments issued last Saturday night at the close of Cabaret '79, which played to a packed house at Town Hall 1873. After a very successful showing of Cabaret two years ago, and the continual prodding from the public to stage the programme again, director-producer Diane Lackie came through with flying colours co-ordinating another highly successful show.

This figure he explained includes $800 in admission fees and another $600 for food and drinks. To give some indication as to the impact of the show to the more than 200 people present, this story comes to light.

Everyone had: a very positive attitude about the performance and are already looking forward to the next time it will be staged. Cal Cochrane and friends had them clapping and stomping to their music. Photos by: J. Peter Hvidsten and Cam Muir
