square foot to heat and many cost as much as $110 Barrie courthouse is equipped with heatpump design said Dick Its thermal storage tank greatly reduces energy needed to heat the building Energy generated bylights and body heat during the day is stored in tanks and used to heat the building at night and on weekends he said Power units have automatic setback devices to lower the buildings temperature when it is unoccupied Further measures are being taken to reduce energy con Engineers are installing switches in other equipment to automatically shutdown when not needed They are also trying to reduce the size of equipment used to cut down on The governments prototype proved successful and will be used as basis in designing other buildings such as the Newmarket courthouse said Dick Barrie courthouse might have been even more efficient had it not been for difficult site and design problems Dick said designers and architects encountered troubles with the sloping site and the old

view of the actor as child vain and selfcentred the triumph of style over substance DESERVE FOR EFFORT Strudwick tries so hard to make the Iv character work that he deserves an for ef performance is too forced to be believable Strudwick has strong voice and good stage presence but theres no subtlety to his acting Part of the problem may be cultural hes too obviously North American to be convincing as British ac tor His gestures and phrasing work against fort but his And because Coward is interested in rela tionships not in action his play sacrifices plot in favor of enormous reams of dialogue insults arguments speeches cruel wit ticisms and other forms of verbal abuse An amateur company performing Present Laughter faces the challenge of making the dialogue sparkle and crackle and thats precisely the problem with the Littles Hill The major burden of the play falls on Ben Strudwick who plays Garry Essendine middleaged actor trying to cope with the demands and intrigues of half dozen ingrid Miller left and Ben Strudwick in scene from Present Laughter The Noel Coward comedy opened Thursday night at Georgian College theatre for threeday run Examiner Photo At Present Laughter sets admirable By STEPIIEN BAUER Of The Examiner Theres much to admire in the prof Pre pened Thursday for threenight run at Georgian College Theatre beautiful set good costumes and several strong performances but director Nick Schols and his cast have failed to cap ture the nuances of the Coward play ter examines and satirizes social relationships with the caustic wit of devout cynic Cowards characters are bit chy and selfish creatures of the theatrical world who cant distinguish between acting Hugo scene Essendines role Ingrid Miller as Joanna is hampered by slow and selfconscious delivery that from her gesture and movements on stage Aside from Browns performance the about Present Laughter is the work of the design team of Colete Begnoche and Claude Emond whose sets and costumes are very well done Its un fortunate that the physical elements of the play are more convincing than the acting detracts best thing his lines instead of reinforcing them Much more effective are Connie Hodges as Essendines wise and patient exwife and Rob Townsend as his close friend Mrs Hodges amateur actress has the easy grace and confident style of professional Townsend uss his voice and body so well he captures your attention the moment he enters The funniest moments of the play are pro vided by Jim Brown cast in the role of mad playwright who disrupts the Essendine household Brown exaggerates the role beautifully and raises the energy level of the play everytime hes on stage His all too brief scenes with Essendine create the only comedy in the play MINOR ROLES SPARKLE played by Martin Hayes and Nancy Holcroft are two minor roles that create some sparkle in Present Laughter Hayes is so well cast hes completely believable and very funny steward turned nonchalant valet But the other performers rarely measure up tt the demands of Cowards fast wit and fast conversational banter Rob Godhue and Lori Anderson recite line instead of acting them Jane Dryborough as Essendines acidic secretary looks the muster the verbal venom that defines the an experienced valet and housekeeper as the whistling ship part but cant suitably seductive Farmers attack governmentfor
