She'll star in a one-hour show being held each night of the Home Show .Miss Harmer has fitt- ed the Oshawa eppearance into a tour of singing en- engagements throughout Canada and the United States It's Real Swinging Living For College Girls On Own By SABINA SIMCOCK HALIFAX (CP)--The mice moved out of the old frame house as the girls moved in-- "probably because they couldn't stand the noise we make," said one of the new tenants. Karen MacBride, 21, one of 32 girls staying at Dalhousie University's Phi Delta Theta fraternity house for the sum- .- mer, wasn't joking about the noise. A dozen college girls and three telephones make quite a racket in the rambling 60-year-old building. The frat house on Halifax's tree-lined Seymour Street fills _a@ need by becoming a sum- mer home for female univer- sity students from around the Maritimes. The _ fraternity turns its boys out in May, renting the house to the girls until September because, says house manager Robbie Mac- Keigan, "they keep it cleaner." | Robbie, a Dalhousie student and member of the fraternity, lives at home with his family but is on call as _ trouble- shooter, rent-collector, mouse- eatcher, party - giver and bouncer for the summer ten- ants. "Living here is really swing- ing, especially Tuesday nights," says Karen, a medi- cal technologist from Windsor, N.S. Tuesdays are party nights, when beer, records and the latest dances attract frugging-room-only crowds. Most of the girls are stu- dents enjoying the freedom of cooking for themselves and having the run of a house after a year in university residences. KITCHEN IS BUSY Trudie Glennie, 19, of Shel- burne, N.S., an arts student at Acadia University, Wolf- ville, N.S., is one of these. She and Karen share an attic bedroom that has_ sloping walls and a door to a fire escape instead of a window. Nancy Parks, 20, an educa- tion student at Dalhousie working as a census-taker for the summer, has slightly more posh accommodation in another double room on the floor below. It has a bay win- dow, fireplace and wall-to-wall carpeting. The large kitchen at the back of the house is the major gathering place, especially at supper time when girls hover anxiously to catch the next vacant burner on the over- worked stove. Meals range from hot dogs --"T'ye eaten millions of hot dogs this summer," wailed one girl--to elegant steak din- ners dished up for boy friends. A few girls escape the eve- ning rush by working night shifts. Ellen Carson, 20, a stu- dent at Mount Allison Univer- sity, Sackville, N.B., has a summer job as a meteorolo- gist on night shift. Joan Auld, 20, spends her vacation from the Nova Scotia College of Art working as a relief tele- phone operator. But all the girls are tele- phone operators at Phi Delt. A system of three interlocking phone lines on each floor re- sults in shrieks of "Answer it, quick!" "Where's Ann?" and "Does anyone know if we're having a party te night?" THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturdey, September 10, 1966 3A it hw --_ : In New "While Janet is known most- ly for her exceptional acting talent, she has demonstrated an equally fine ability to direct and we are expecting a quality production," said Mr. Wil- liams. "Roots," a play by Arnold Wesker, will be directed by Marion Dennis, a newcomer to Oshawa, who, the theatre's president says, has a_ wide background in theatre which in- '| cludes producing and directing for the Mountain Playhouse in Montreal. John Patrick's "Teahouse of the August Moon" will be in the capable hands of the "'popu- lar" director, Harry Chapman. DRAMA LEAGUE The work of the Oshawa Little Theatre is not restricted to the production of three plays but is also involved in the Cen- tral Ontario Drama League. CENTENNIAL PROJECT The League is _ presenting four Canadian plays at a Cen- tennial project with profession- al production and direction. "Oshawa will be working with Scarborough, Pickering, Ajax, and Bowmanville and pooling reserves to give a pro- fessional production," said Mr. Chapman. These districts will produce "Line of Vision" by the play- wright, Norman Williams. of Toronto, who has done a num- ber of one-act plays. "We are going to give the best performance our organiza- tien can and we will use neo- ple who haven't had a chance before the public," said r. Chapman. 'This could be 'the' Canadian play." Exposure to Canadian au- thors and actors is a_nation- wide attempt in centennial year to encourage Canadian writing, to spotlight Canadian talent, and to claim recognition. About 100 plays will be shown across Canada in 1967. "Line of Vision" is a two and one-half hour play involving a boy with perplexing psychologi- cal images of his family. The conflict lies in his rebellion against conformity. The pro- tagonist is confronted with members of the family who he feels are dead set in compla- cency. Not without much drama and intrigue does the main character yield to the ways of his family. REGIONAL FESTIVAL The play will be entered in the Regional Drama Festival and then will be sent to the Dominion Drama Finals (this year in Halifax) March, 1967. "Lines of Vision' will then at Hart House in Toronto. The Oshawa Little Theatre is tian Drama Council of Canada, a 12-year-old organization that attempts to 'explore modern problems in modern plays."

"Many will remember 'Christ In The Concrete City," a mod- ern, Canadian play that brings theatre back to the church where it originally started. "The theatre was used as an effective means of propaganda for the church,'" said Mr. Chap- man. "Professional and amateur groups have worked in Oshawa churches such as St. George's, Christ Church, Northminster, King Street United and many country churches," he said. FIRST IN OSHAWA The first Oshawa Little The- atre was held at Rotary Hell in 1928 and has since grow® with the community. "In an amateur theatre, there are many benefits to the community for its acts as a great sub-conscious developer. of character and personality. It also gives a true meaning of the many and varied cultures that exist in Canada, the end prod- uct being a blend of cultures. In short, a truly Canadian cul- ture," said Mr. Chapman. Mr. Chapman said the audi- ences viewing the plays are often unaware of the problems behind the scens but that the Oshawa Little Theatre can boast that for a long time, not ene production has failed to reach the stage. "Half an hour before the cur- tain time of 'Dirty Work at The X-Roads', the lead villain was rushed to hospital. "Believing the 'show must go on', the team rallied reund and the curtain went up on time with the directory mimeing his way through the two and one- half hour show while others read the lines from off stage," said Mr. Chapman. He said the result was even more hilarious than the author could ever have imagined, Sometimes cats, with essen- tial roles, disappear before showing and once the cast had a one week notice to put on a play outside of the town when another show failed to show.
