Studio Group Plays Please Large Audience A happy selection of one-act plays was presented by the Studio Group of Oshawa Little Theatre before a large audience in Ritson School auditorium last night. The trio of playlets introduced some bright new acting talent and show- ed, as well, the production effects that can be devised with a dearth of means. Playing before a cur- tain, and with the fewest possible props, puts the emphasis right where it belongs -- on the players and the story. "Villa for Sale," by Sacha Guitry who has been called the French Noel Coward, received fairly as-| tute direction from Russell Flut- ter. The pace was a trifle heavy- footed, but the actors managed to convey much of the Gallic verve innate in the piece. After a valiant attempt to maintain the French accent, most of them lapsed com- fortably into straight characteriza- on. POISED PERFORMANCE Evelyn Munroe gave a poised ormance of Juliette, the dilet- te home-owner, while Kris Friis did a laughable sketch of the movie-struck maid. Alice Earle and Tom McKibbon played stock char- acters as the home-hunters Jeanne and Gaston, the latter with a mean mercenary gleam in his eye. Pa- tricia Dayday's Mrs. Al Smith was straight from Brooklyn, and too avily burlesqued within the y Guitry frame. Ross Statham stage manager for this one. "The Old Lady Shows Her Med- als," one of J. 8. Barrie's senti- mental post-war concoctions, pro- vided a pleasant vehicle for four or five of OLT's more experience players and a talented new-comer. Madelaine Tooley's direction kept the production moving along from one cosy laugh to the next. Eliza- beth Lindsay deserves a bouquet for her clearly thought out por- trait of the scheming Mrs. Dowey, whose "dream soldier" prove all- too-solid reality. Eileen Chapman did a sharp characterization in small of the cockney Mrs. Mickle- while Jean Crook gave a neat sketch of the bird-like Mrs. Tully. The eloquent Mrs. Haggerty received full measure of fun from Betty Purdon, while Harry Chap- man did justice to the visiting vicar, Mr. Wilkinson. Clay Boyes as the bufly Black Watch private, Kenneth Dowey, conveyed a great measure of the inexplicable frustration of the sol- dier on leave from the trenches, gradually melting in the magic warmth of hearth and home. A particularly subtle touch in the last scene was 'the longing look Mrs. Dowey took at the box, which, presumably, held his medals, in- stead of taking them out and dang- |ling. them before the audience's eyes. The costumes for this play were suite ingenious. Stage man- ager -- Guy Colm. ORIGINAL PRODUCTION One of the most original pro- ductions of the evening was Thorn- ton Wilder's "Happy Journey," di- rected by Catharine Schell, Here Mr. Wilder takes a leaf from one of his early full-scale successes, "'Our Town," and tells a simple story with the minimum of stage mechanics and considerable use of pantomime. About the only pro- perties were four kitchen chairs, a couch and the pipe in the stage manager's mouth. Noreen Brennan was the star of this piece, as Ma Kirby, the sprightly graying philosopher who had a platitude for every situation. Ewart Nichol carried the role of comfortable Pa Kirby with aplomb while Kenneth Morley fulfilled the chore of a casual Greek chorus as Stage Manager, throwing away his lines expertly. The children Ar- thur and Caroline got true-to-life characterizations from Paul Da- voud and Betty Harmer. Helen Gaudien's was a graceful small part as Beulah. OLT president, A. E. O'Neill act- ed as chairman of the Studio Club Mapplebeck, who gallantly under- studied a stricken actor in the re- cent festival play and was heartily applauded last night. Mr. O'Neill also commented on the Guitry play. Mrs. W. G. Corben analyzed the Wilder production, and Ernest Winter did similar service for the Barrie. The next major production was announced for April 17 and 18. It is Robertson Davies' "At My Heart's Core," directed by Mrs. J. J. Fleming. elleville Asks Ruling On PUC Tax BELLEVILLE (CP)--The cty of Belleville wil ask the Ontaro Supreme Court to uphold taxes leved against the public utilities commission. The case, to be heard next October, has been described as a "test case" which may have bear- ing on future disputes of this kind elsewhere in the province. The city levied taxes against the commission following provincial legslation which authorized taxa- tion of lands and buildings owned by rublic utilities. The commission questioned the amount of the as- sessment, claiming exemption for pumping equipment, filters and settling basins. NEWSPRINT PRICE UPPED | VANCOUVER (CP) -- Powell River Sales Co. Ltd.

Un- less the doctor has informed you that you have a heart ailment, you may worry unnecessarily. It doesn't add to your happiness to pamper yourself when there may be noth- ing wrong with your heart. It's much better to have the doctor's advice, FASHION SHOW (Continued from Page 3) received a lot of criticism, be- cause it could not be seen at that time that the population would as- sume its present proportions. It was thought impractical to build such a large school. Now, however, the ratepayers are glad that someone had the foresight to see that the commun- |ity would grow and that the four rooms would be needed. And how much they have been needed is evidenced by the enrollment, which is the highest now it has ever been. Extra accomodation has had to be provided in basement rooms, which had to be air-conditioned and heated, and approved by the School Inspector. Accommodation has been taxed to the limit, and will be eased only when the new building in the Southmead area is ready. On one occasion, when the Har- mony Cub Pack needed a flag, Mr. Hart was approached for help. He not only gave them a fine new flag, but told them if they needed anything more, to tell him about it. And that is the way it was, with always that interest and wil lingness to help. Harmony, has lost a real friend, but he will always be remembered by those who live here. TO PRESENT CONCERT An opportunity for music lovers of Oshawa to hear an outstanding musician will be presented this coming Saturday night. Rudolf Comacho, one-time student at the OMC from Jamaica, will present a concert in the auditorium on the college campus. : Mr. Comacho is a gifted tenor from the West Indies. At an early age he decided to become a sing- er, and in 1938 he enrolled at An- derson College, Indiana, directed by Dr. Hartzell. He won a scholar- ship. which entitled him to study in New York. He toured the West Indies, and met Sir Ernest Mac- | Millan in Jamaica. He sang for him, and joined the Conservatoire. Later he was appointed soloist at Central United Church, Toronto. This talented musician saw ser- vice with the Canadian Army dur- ing the last war, and travelled up and down Britain, entertaining the armed forces. He recently has con- ducted a concert tour in England and in some parts of Europe, and has sung before Royalty in Lon- don. He has received great ova- tion from leading English news- papers. The concert will start at eight o'clock, and those planning to at- tend would be well advised to go early. Another musical treat soon to be made available to Oshawa's mus- ic-lovers, will be the Star Free Concert, at Lyceum program to be held at the OMC on Saturday, April 9, commencing at 8 o'clock. It also will be held in the audi- torium, and will feature the "Four Let us show you the SEE US TO-DAY North Oshawa 1953 HILLMAN minx Canada's most exciting new carl 33 NEW FEATURES that have delighted all Canada WELLMAN MOTORS IT'S HERE!
