Showboat MinstrelsDraw Full Houses

I At Levack's ClubNever a group to do things by h,ilvs, the

Lt'vack Soci,il Committee gave bumper audi-ences full nseasiire for th,ir money when theypresented The Showboat Minstrels' at theEmployees Club on April 4 arid 5.

With Rev. Fr. O'Neill as director, GuyInnes as producer, Lloyd Davis as stagemanager, and Miss V. Gauvreau and Mrs.L. White as assistants, a talented cast oflocal people went through long and arduous months of rehearsal and came up witha winner.

Action took place aboard the showboat'Annabelle Lee." the first and third acts being

devoted to a cipably handled plot in which thecaptain got his bankroll back, the colonel gothis dughter back, the hero got the girl in hisarms, and the villain got it in the neck landproperly so, too, the cad!).

The second act was turned over to heminstrel troupe, which presented several mostenjoyable musical selections, both orchestraland vocal, aloisg with the usual barrage ofdarkev humour. Some of the jokes were sure-fire and some were strictly from corn, but thecrowds ate 'em all up and roared for more,

The show company could be well satisfiedwith its initial effort, and the community couldhope that ,inother "home talent productionwould be ready for the stage before wintercomes around again.

Cast of the showboat troupe, seen in the toppicture, were, left to right with the parts theyplayed: Front row, Guy Innes (produced,Joe Ribic (Tohy), Lloyd Davis (stage man-agei) middle row, Joan Dean (Mrs. Lindsey),Betty Morin (Rosalea Lindsey), Evelyn Jenkin-

'son (Cynthia, he captain's wife), Ethel Koski(Sylvia, the Colonel's wife), Edo Lively (LillianDurant) back row, Percy Yuill (stage de-signer), Ed. Kauppinen (Ross Ashcroft),Frank Jenkinson (Captain Peppercorn), BillLawton (Colonel Danby), Stan Snider ("v'ernonJeffers), Fr. H. A. Q'Neill (director).

In the second picture are members of theminstrel group: left to right, first row, BettyAdam (Violet). Norah MacCoy (Petunia),Ida Gobbo (Rose), 1.ouise Innes (Clematis);second row. Alfie Mallette (Terry). NormHawke (Henry(. Joe Rihic (Tohy), Fred Dolci(Erasnso), Jim MacCoy (Buck).

In the other two pictures of the layout areshown the extremely effective stage settings de.signed and painted by Percy Yuill, principal ofLevack school. To the great majority of theaudience who had no ide,s of Mr. Yuill s giftalong these lines the professional touch to thetwo backdrops caine as an ,idded surprise.The community is indeed fortunate to have anartist of this calibre.
