Aladdin was the choice of the Newmarket Dramatic club for its second annual Christmas pant omime It was presented the Town Hall on December and 30 in collaboration with the Betty Gordon Dancing club In many wasy this years pant omime was an improvement over last years There was a more harmonious blending of the Work of the two groups the dramatic and dancing clubs in Aladdin The dance routines themselves were more advanced and the Surveys For for them and detracted from an otherwise good dramatic perform ance iV As a member of the Wednesday nights audience we felt that Aladdin despite these faults was a success It satisfied the children in attendance and after all the pantomime is for the young The youngsters were delighted with the show The suspense had them on the edge of their chairs

probably wouldnt have been a pantomime At the same time if we are to report honestly on the production we must note the laws Which marred the presentation for us as a member of the audience It is in this spirit and knowing that the members of both organiza tions having the interest of the theatre at heart would prefer our honesty to the sugary words of meaningless platitudes that we mention the shortcomings of the production as well as its many high spots The pantomime Aladdin was slow moving in places At times we felt that what was needed was a cheering section to lead them on This was probably a fault of lack of preparedness and at tendance at rehearsals on the part of some actors rather than of direction But when individ ual performances were consider ed they were fine Aladdins costumes in the open ing acts were not convincing didnt look like an Aladdin at least not according to our standards until the final act Last year in Jack and the Beanstalk her costumes were excellent and helped greatly in establishing the character Jack as a strong personality in the play The settings of Aladdin were too plain for an extrava ganza with an Oriental atmos phere But in the cave scene the stage and lighting effects were excellent As a suggestion- for future pantomimes we would pass along the idea that perhaps the talents some of Newmarkets well- trained vocalists could be enlist ed It would have added great ly to the audiences enjoyment of Aladdin if the singing parts had been handled in that way Some members of the cast carried off their songs very well For others it appeared to be an ordeal APPOINTMENTS MADE BY COUNCIL FOR 54 STEWART BEARS wellplayed by and the Princess Jenin to gether the slaves of the ring and the lamp Scythes and George freed and united more arid the

confetti When light rain Is desired water from a watering can is sprinkled down across the front of the lens but if a real downpour is called for then things get complicated The TV experts have a special cloth with a light- reflecting plastic woven through it which Is stretch ed across a drum and re volved in front of the cam era lens The negatives from this shot are superim posed on those
