16 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thudey, Mey 4, 1967 . SMALL JOB IN LIVE THEATRE BEST APPROACH TO STAGE CAREER HALIFAX (CP) -- Inter- ested in an acting career? Try becoming an apprentice in a professional theatre. You'll prove you are dedicated and you'll learn the business from the bottom. "It's not a bad job if you don't mind making $20 a week and working 72 hours," says Margaret Palmer, an 18-year- old native of Toronto now in her second year of apprentice- ship at the Neptune Theatre. She isn't complaining. She has ined the experience available only to an insider-- learning how a theatre oper- ates, watching actors mould roles, seeing how a top-notch director, Leon Major, works. "And this year," Miss Pal- mer says, '"'my salary is ac- tually up to $40 a week." Margaret was only the sec- ond person taken on by Nep- tune as a full-time apprentice. The first, 20-year-old Deborah Allen of Halifax, finished two years of training last year. This season she is properties mistress and has small acting roles, Miss Allen had been in- volved in amateur theatre be- fore she got her spot at Nep- tune. "IT merely came down one afternoon and asked for a job. I filled out some papers and that was it." She started three years ago while still a Grade 12 student at Queen Elizabeth high school here. After classes she went to the theatre and worked from four until seven every night before spending the rest of the evening on her studies. MAJORS IN ENGLISH In her first year she worked in the production department and her first assignment was setting and striking props for the production of Chekov's Un- cle Vanya. After the summer season ended she enrolled at Dal- housie University where she is majoring in English and art appreciation. The following summer she was back at Nep- tune and played her first role, Susanna Walcott in Arthur Miller's The Crucible. "It's what I want to do," she says. "I feel if I work my way up through production to stage management, I'll have a greater understanding of act- ing, which I eventually hope to do. "It's good to have expe- rience from the technical and production side of the theatre. Then an actor knows how a show is run and has a greater understanding of the whole." Now that Margaret Palmer is in her second year of ap- prenticeship, Trixie Lederer, 20-year-old native of Toronto, has been taken on as a junior apprentice. She's interested in stage management and "perhaps directing even- tually." Miss Palmer, who came to Neptune after meeting Major at the Dora Mavor Moore studios in Toronto, had sev- eral minor parts in Neptune productions last year, "in- cluding one as a dead body where I had to lie on the stage for 45 minutes." She, too, appreciates the im- portance of knowing how the theatre works. "You just can't walk on to a stage--you have to know what it's all about." OFF TO JAPAN Miss Barbara Heavens, daughter of Captain and Mrs. E. H, Heavens, Thorn- ton road south, who is grad- uating from the Ontario Col- lege of Art this spring, in industrial design, has won the Eaton Foundation Trav- elling Scholarship of $1,500. She is planning to travel to Japan in September to make a study of Japanese indus- trial designs. 'Miss Heavens is a graduate of Oshawa Central Collegiate where she received art instruction under Miss Agnes Miocich. SEEKS SOLITUDE CHESTERTON, England (CP) -- Scots - born Tom Wilmshurst was the scourge of this. Cambridgeshire commun- ity when he practised on his bagpipes. Neighbors protested he kept them awake and farmers said he frightened the cows when he played out of doors. Wilmshurst now seeks out deserted stretches of the River Cam for his practice. children. Children's Dreams Relate To Fear ITHACA, N.Y. (AP)--Sugar- plums and fairies make up only a small fraction of the visions dancing before the eyes of sleep- ing children, a university profes- sor reports. Prof. Robert H. Dalton, after surveying 2,788 children in the Virgin Islands and in the Ithaca area, said fear, unpleasantness and unfriendliness are the most significant elements of the dreams of the young. Dalton, a staff member of the department of child develop- ment and family relationship in Cornell's College of Home Eco- nomics, said the objects and the persons seen by a child in his dreams literally exist. He described the dream as a child's attempts "to cope with the events of daily life." When the dream becomes a night- mare, he added, "we may be quite "certain that the child's life situation is treacherous." Dalton interviewed the chil-| dren to determine their dream patterns and the circumstances surrounding them. Among his conclusions: --Dreams are not necessarily "wish-fulfilling," as Sigmund Freud concluded in his pio-| neer charting of the subconsc- ious. --Their content and symbolic structure mirror the questions and struggles faced by a child as he tries to "relate himself] satisfyingly" to the world in| which he lives. --The settings for most | dreams by children are every-| day places, especially the] home. --Dreams are "hallucinatory" | real 'in the child's mind. In young children, Dalton re-| ported, the dream patterns in- cluded more fear and unhappi- ness. Dream characteristics were more friendly for the older | } CARPETS Removed to our Plant For "Like New" Cleaning make ita Happy Mother's Day IN YOUR HOME CARPETING Expertly Rejuvenated In Your Own Home PROFESSIONAL CLEANING SERVICES ob OUR PLANT DRAPERIES AND WALLS Thoroughly Re-Finished to "Like New" Lustre simpy CALL J25=GQG] rast Pick-up oR HOME SERVICE OSHAWA RUG CLEANERS 1700 SIMCOE ST.
