THURSRAY, APRIL 13, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE *WHITBY NEWS Modern Players Preparing Drama Based on Murder Case Exactly in four weeks' Whitby Modern Players will pre- sent another production. Sitting in the utter frigidity of Whitby Town Hall last night watching a re- earsal, one was nevertheless able to muse upon the amount of work and ambition which will go into rehearsals to produce the finished performance which is anticipated. From another part of the building, the moaning of a band in practice session made it difficult for the actors to be heard. Off-stage mut- tered conversation among those not being rehearsed added to the gen- eral melee, Yet in spite of it all, the director listened with practiced ear, throwing out a suggestion here and there, indicating the right inflec- tion to use or perhaps ordering a useful bit of stage business. There will be a large cast in this production. Roughly, the theme of the play is as follows: At the time of the suicide of Ivor Kreuger, Swedish match king and financial Juggler, revealing the complicated failure of his international financial interests, it was rumored that he had only faked his death and had really hidden in South America, to live incognito and in luxury on a fortune that he had established there, This story is the basis of the play selected for presentation by 'Whitby Modern Players to be seen at the town hall on Thursday and Friday, May 11 and 12. It is under the direction of the mplished Canadian director, Dora Mavor Moore. Subject of the play is a murder trial. Titled "Night of January 16," this play had long run in New York and has toured the United State. From the reading heard last might, the play will be one of the | best ever seen here. Already most of the players are quick on their cues, rapidly losing the nervousness and self-consciousness that marred early try-outs, The play uses a great variety of characterization includ- ing several dial zt parts. The stimulating and helpful direction of Mrs. Moore (who is identified with the Toronto New Play Society) is having a most happy effect upon the cast. It is not easy for amateurs, nor pro- fessionals for that matter, to illu- minate and bring vitality to a text depicting situations with which they are unfamiliar in real life, but this is largely being accomplished by Whitby Modern Players. Backing Whitby Modern Players is a staff of technicians who have been accustomed to working to- gether in many former productions. Scenery, costumes, equipment are * time, all being ~rganized in the back- ground while the actors are prepar- ing for final rehearsals. Though Whitby is a long way from Broadway, something of the glitter and finish of a professional production is expected from "Night of January 16." Unlike lesser direc- tors who approach rehearsals with no clearly conceived pattern to work by, Mrs, Moore has been through the preparatory work, studying and analyzing the dra- matic value f every Scene, so that she understands exactly what effect she wishes to create and the pre- cise means of achieving it, This play also embodies an en- tirely unusual feature about which the audience will not be aware until they witness it. Another point. of interest is, that since the play is entirely a court-room scene, the audience is placed in the position of spectators at the trial, Bridge Post-Mortem By Professor I. 'Q.

The above hand, played by Whit- by Duplicate Bridge Club this week is quite interesting in view of the different results that were obtained by West. At one table North doubled two Clubs and South pass- ed, but at all other tables the hand was played at 5 Clubs. Only 8 tricks were taken in one case and 13 tricks at another table. In the latter case the lead was the 5 of hearts and when the diamonds were led South held up the Ace and later lost it. With this second hand the top EW. board was made when 5 hearts was doubled and defeated 3 tricks and the high N.S. score re- sulted from a doubled 2 8 bid by East, 3 Clubs was made by South but 3 N.T. by both N and S was de- feated by 3 tricks.

Constable George Long of the C.I.B. came.to Ajax to examine the car. It was found to have severe dents on the dash board, green paint marks on the right door, green paint flakes on the floor boards and green paint on the seat. (The safe which was stolen was also painted green.) Constable Harold Quantrill found a stop- watch behind the seat which was similar to ope taken from Kitchen Installations, Constable McLean noted that Hawthorne had wet feet and this was related later in evidence to be given by Wilfred Hunt, minager of Law's garage at Pickering. When taken to the Ajax police station, Chicules had a small cut bleeding on his right hand. He asked for iodine and wrapped paper towels around his finger. At this time, Corporal Murray Bruce, and Constable Frank Godley took state- ments from the accused but these were not read in court. Acted Strangely Wilf Hunt's story was: "At 12.10 on the morning of March 6, I re- ceived a call to go to Exeter Street in Ajax (in the new area) where a car was supposed to be in the ditch. While I was looking for the car, a man come running from be- hind a house and stopped. me. He told me to go back to University Avenue. Driving south 'there he told me to honk the horn and blink my lights to signa] to a friend who was said to be waiting in a barn. It was a cold night. However I didn't want to do that so I said to let the friend wait. We went down a sideroad to where we found the car stuck in a snowbank on the road." (This was the same car in which Hawthorne and Chicules were later found and it was stuck very close to the point where the safe was later recovered.) "While we were trying to get the car out, the driver stepped in a waterhole and wet his feet. When it was time to pay me, he wanted to give a cheque but I wouldn't accept that. So he gave me this wrist watch (an expensive watch) inscribed 'To George, Love, Audrey'." . Took Car Number Hunt had taken the licence n.m- ber of the car and the driver gave his name as "Mr. Jackson" saying that he would return tomorrow with the cash to pay Hunt. This evidence concluded the case for the crown. Mr. Greer called only Corporal Bruce whom he questioned regarding the state- ments which had been taken. "On Tuesday, March 14, I asked them both, in the jail, how the paint got on their car," sald Cor- poral Bruce. "They said they didn't know." At that time, the accused were not warned. BOY KILLED Ottawa, April 13--(CP) -- Six- year-old Raymond Baldry was kill- ed almost instantly when crushed under the rear wheels of a truck Wednesday afternoon. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Baldry of Ottawa. Police said the boy dashed from between two cars parked in front of St. Anne's Hall on St. Patrick Street right into the path of the truck. SALARY CUT Ottawa, April 13--(CP)--A move to reduce salaries paid to Mayor Bourque, the.four controllers and 28 aldermen of the city council will be made by Ald, J. Grant Shaw, Ald. Shaw said Wednesday night he will move that council members revert to their 1948 salary schedule. This would mean the aldermen would each receive $500, the controllers $2,500 and the mayor $5,000.
