4741350 2944400 j cinderella 99 6i excellent 99 by jim irving goodwood it wasnt exactly the same as the late show but cinderella and her prince charniing were able to catch a rerun of their early lives at good wood public school last week and no doubt they as did the audience found it was well worth staying up for they old queen ella ably played by shauna arthurs and king not so charming anymore played by an equally adept susan gribble also got to meet their alter egos cinderella karen winterstein arid prince charmimg sean buckles when they all joined hands on the stage for the finale that just might have been the only catch in this other wise bright musical the old king as it turned out was a good head higher than the boy he was as a prince and old queen ella was also big ger than her youthful self so that they looked more like mother and father and daughter and son in the de layed family portrait one accepts that howev er as the rest of this walt disney version caught the mood in story and song of the famed fairy tale despite having to jam in so much in the 60 minutes alloted to this highlyabridged presenta tion everybody over the age of three knows the story of cin- derella her cruel treatment by her stepmother and step sisters her getting to the palace ball dancing with the prince losing her glass slipper and subsequently being reunited with the prince when a search is made throughout the land to find the owner of the mis sing slipper its an awful lot of story to have to tell in so short a time and its to the credit of circus coming uxbridge the circus is

therell be a five per cent overall increase in the 1983 budget for uxbridge township but thats about all anyones saying about it although council had con sidered presenting its esti mates forapproval last week it decided it needed a bit more time and so held a closed discussion at the end of the evening to help put it all in perspective despite the contention of a barrie radio reporter that unless it was question of property or personnel the in camera session was illegal mayorbill ballinger said the discussion would go ahead on an informal but closed basis i the fine cast and co- directors mrs laurie briggs and mrs fran sells that it all comes off in such winning albeit whirlwind fashion its an unusual version in other ways too as cin derella and her prince grown old sit out at the publisher fined uxbridge harry stemp president of ux bridge printing com pany ltd has been fined 1069875 in osha- wa provincial court on a charge of income tax evasion judge nh edmond- son registered

tain opens arid reveals- it once more to them it may seem unlikely that anyone so young as misses arthurs and gribble could portray these elders with any authenticity but they do and with the utmost au thority too fine perform ances by both karen winterstein in the title role shines both as the putupon drudge at home and as the radiant princess at the ball sean buckles makes a handsome and convincing young prince charming although maybe just a bit reserved at times linda mayr is a wicked and wonderful stepmother and never steps out of char acter as is shown in her several marches down the aisle where she is still snarling and complaining well into the wings she is well backed up in her belligerence by angela urquhart and jennifer lamb as her two nasty daughters christine hopkins is a re gal fairy godmother while tim virio makes the meowst of his part as lucifer the cat the other members of this big cast are all suitably con vincing both through their own excellent interpreta tions arid the magnificent costumes and makeup they perform in its too bad its such an overall short playing time so that performers cos tumes makeup and scen ery all dont have a bit more time to glow however as with old queen ella and king not so charming anymore no doubt those who sat in on this happy affair will be able to recall it to their satis faction at will bargain priced at 6750 cream
