from page one actors Peter Ward came off badly in the first scene for no other reason than that his Canadian audience did not pick up the allu sion to Teddy Roosevelt as quick ly as the play intended However once he began his upstairs exits with thundering Charge and appeared with bugle for his previous experience did valiant job Director Howard Lacey who was called on at the last minute to fill in in the role of Mr Gibbs one of the homicidal aunts intend ed victims not only was excellent himself in his brief appearance in the first act but also got good per formances out of other members of the supporting cast including the plays policemen Ken Pratt Brophy Ian McClymont Klein Allan Shrubsole OHara and Harry Boos Rooney Bud Brockwell was another competent bit player in the role of Wither spoon the final victim Arsenic and Old Lace served to display the talents of several journey to Panama down in the cellar he began to arouse deserved laughter Teddy was amazingly like the late president too in addi tion to looking convincingly mad Another familiar face to local audi ences although lightly disguised for Arsenic and Old Lace was Doug Greenwood in the role of Dr Harper Elaines minister fath er Appearing only in the first scene with Rhoda Young and Teddy he was certainly the best actor in the smaller roles in the play and was excellently cast in his role of innocent bystander to the Brewster antics The tale of the old ladies with the even dozen deaths by arsenic actors new to local audiences and the most expert of these had one significant thing in common They are all comparative newcomers to Canada from England and almost without exception had had previ ous experience on the stage The most competent actress in this group was undoubtedly Mar garet Woods who in the role of the second Brewster aunt Martha gaVe perfectly delightful per formance alongside one of Barries better known actresses Rhoda Young who astunt Abby exr pertly carried one of the heaviest roles in the play with her usual poise and sure acting technique But Mrs Woods with her gentle portrayal of the sweetly determin ed sister and such convincinglyj elderly mannerisms as nodding head and high quivering voice was as delicately Victorian as the charming stage setting Jean Gremo was the other Eng lish import in the female cast playing the role of Mortimers strongminded girl friend Elaine with brightness and wit Her fine acting ability was coupled with striking appearance and she was decorative asset in all of her scenes even when being strangled by Mortimers fiendish brother Jonathan played with heavy menacing air by Bill Maynard local actor whom we hope to see more of in forthcoming guild pro ductions The third Britisher new to the local stage in the cast was Don Thompson for whom the role of Jonathans alcoholic colleague lit tle Dr Einstein was tailormade His softly helplesa voice with its German aCCent wasso close dup licate to the velvet tones of Actor Peter Lorre that in senious role Mr Thompson could make the chills run up and down your spine As it was Mr Thompsons por trayal was in the tradition of high comedy and he made the grue sometwosome seem the figment of cartoonists imagination Lightly skipping around the stage with his thin legs bent at an awkward angle and his eyes gleaming in hopeful plea from behind his glasses he made wonderfully funny picture beside the tall figure of Bill May nard in his horrifying Boris Kari loflf makeup The latter actor was excellent in his nasty role Mr Maynard has wondenfully deep voice that he used to great dramatic advant age and his stranglerls hands and horrifying visage were memorable fortheir terrifying impact on the audience One of the strychnine and cyanide mixed with elderberry wine to their credit and their two insane nephews Teddy who alwayswanted to be INDIVIDUAL run lUNCHES v154c guilds most skillful president and is convinced that he is and Jonathan the criminally insane maniac who has 13 murders to his credit but has been made in to Boris Karloff by his plaster surgeon colleague Dr Einstein is familiar one but was new and fresh in the guilds production From the moment the sane nephew Mortimer discovers Mr Hoskins body in the window seat at the beginning of the first act the action is pure comedy One of the better scenes of the whole play is at this moment when Mortimer discovers in nightmare fashion that his two sweet maiden aunts are killers of the innocent old men whom they regularly send to their rest The arrival of Jonathan and Dr Einstein who have been finishing off vcitims around the world is the signal for confusion of dead bodies in the Brewster household as they come equipped with anoth er corpse who turns up in the window seat just as soon as Mr Hoskins disappears another yel low fever victim in Teddys cellar canal When the police finally appear on the scene to carry off Jonathan to the asylum they find the idea of 13 corpses in the Brewster cellar too insane to believe and the old ladies and harmless Teddy are pre pared to go off to Happy Dale leaving Mortimer happily aware that he is not really Brewster The delightful madness is not over however Just before the curtain falls we see the old ladies prepared to slip glass of poisoned wine to the Happy Dale superin tendent Mr Witherspoon and when the curtain goes up for the first curtain call they have evened the scorewith Jonathan and have 13 corpses to their credit At the second curtain call Mr Wither spoon is on his way to Panama on Teddys stalwart shoulder yet another yellow fever victim Arsenic and Old Lace was delightful nightmare Its director Howard Lacey all the members of the cast and the backstage workers deserve much credit for the skill with which they brought the play to the local stage TheIheatre Guild is one of the most welcome Vespra Township $250 Over CNlB Canvass Target The campaign to raise funds in Vespn Township for the CNIB proposed new home for the blind

HereTime For Jam and Jelly Maybe the weather is unpredic table these days but one thing is sure The Queen of Berries the crimson strawberry is here Theres something about this delicious ber ry that puts us all in the mood for making strawberry Shortcake strawberry tart3 and strawberry sauce to top dur desserts but the most important usewe can make of this fruit is to treasure its good ness in delicious strawberry jam and jelly And later on there will be raspberries peaches cherries and currents in abundance so that any homemaker can have won derful variety of jam or jelly for use during the winter months Its wonderful too to know that today there is sure way of mak ing delicious jams and jellies from any fruit This methodbased on short boilcalls for balanced proportions of prepared fruit sn gar and pectinand whats most importantwhen you add the pee tin yourself fruits are used when fully rlpe when the color and flu vor are at their best so that the jam or jelly has the rich color and pleasing flavor of fresh fruit Youll remember with the old fashloned method most jams and jellies had to bebolled 20 to 30 minutes to concentrate the mixture sufficiently to make it jell But long cooking darkens the color bolls away the flavor and causes evaporation moreover the sugar may become partially caramelized masking the real fruit flavor To day the busy homemaker can have perfect jams and jellies in matter of minutes using the short boil method Its so simple All that has to be done is to prepare the fruit or juice bring the jam or jelly to full rolling boil and boil for one minute longerjust enough to sterilize the mixture and pre vent spoilage Yet the boiling per lod is so short that the fresh rich flavor and bright color of the ripe fruit is retained Within 15 min utes after the fruit or juice is pre ared jams and jellies are sealed their glasses As you know to make fruits jell you need just the right proportion of fruit sugar and pectin The good jellying fruits are those con taining enough naturalt pectin to form jelly when sugar is added and the mixture is boiled until con Moderator Here REV DE SCOTT Moder ator of the United Church of Can ada delivened the sermon yester day morning at Collier Street United Church in Barrie He is in Orillia this week with the United Church Exposition The pageant Triumphs of Faith will be presented in Orlllia Opera House this evening centrated But there are few fruits which contain enough pectin to make jam or jelly when they are fully ripe Thats why slightly undorripe fruit is recommended when the jam or jelly is made by the oldfashioned long boll me thod Liquid and powdered pectin are natural fruit pectin in concentrat ed form By using them jamor jelly canbe made from any fruit when fully ripeeven from fruits such as strawberries cheries peo ches and apricots which are hard to jell Then too the short boil method is economical Since prac tically none of the fruit juice is boiled away it yields 50 more jam or jelly from the same amount of fruit With fruit pectin either liquid or powdered thereis no guess work to jelly making With kitchen tested recipes the modern home maker knOWS exactly how much prepared fruit sugar and pectin to use exactly how long to cook the mixture and exactly how many glasses of jelly she will get And even the most inexperienced cook will have excellent jams and jellies
