Dra rna Club
The 1960-61 Drama Club, under the direction of Mrs. Millsap, had a very successful start in the middle of November with a Drama Night. We offered three plays for two nights, each play representing a different mood. Fantasy was very well handled in the Chinese play; The Bleeding Heart of Wee Jon, directed by Mrs. Millsap and Mr , Smith. This was a story of the true love of Wee Jon and Dinki Doos, aided by servant Kow Tow and denied by Lord Sous Doos.
The Grand Duchess under the capable direction of Mr. MacDonald proved very humorous. Vivian came to Mowberly Castle to meet the mother of the Duke of Mowberly and won her love through some philosophical aid by Perkins the butler. While this play was well timed, accidents will happen, as the red face of Mr. MacDonald proved.
"The Storm" reminded us of one of the "G .M. Presents" shows, for the cast gave us a wonderful example of what conscience and a snow storm can do. Miss Love, the director of "The Storm," was as pleased with the results as the audience. If the audience turn-out on both of these nights is indicative of this community's interest in the dramatic field, the C.D.C.I. Drama Club will never want for appreciative listeners.
John Plowright helped enormously in the success of the "Drama Night" by his lighting effects which were especially evident in the "Bleeding Heart of Wee Jon." Of course his work was supplemented by the forethought and care of the stage crew under David Capin and Paul Cohn. The tremendous task of finding properties and building scenery was successfully under taken by Doug Webb and Wayne Sproule. The many strange costumeswere made by Miss Black, Jackie Martin, and their helpers in the costume department. The final professional touch was given by Elaine Hutchinson and the make-up department.
