SAMARA 19 Under the able direction of Mrs. Meikle- john, we have presented quite a number of plays this year, all of which were successful. We began with the traditional house plays, these being directed by the house heads. Nightingale came first with its Royal Touch. Vicky Brain was outstandingly good, as were Jo- Anne Davis and Esther Prudham. Fry sup- plied the comedy with The Ghost Story in which Janet Hanson did her usual best. Jane MulhoUand is to be highly praised for her part of the chamberlain in Keller ' s The Golden Doom which she learnt the day before the play was put on. Sheila McCormick also did very well. Next we presented the Christmas Play, St. Anne and the Gouty Rector — Betsy-Jane Davis made a lovely St. Anne and Sue Hislop and Sally Wright showed their acting ability in the parts of the gouty rector and Nicholas, respectively. On the night of Feb. 27 the Little Theatre was filled to capacity when the combined Ashbury-Elmwood Dramatic Societies staged the well-liked comedy Dear Ruth — Jennifer Woollcombe deserves credit for her role as the precocious kid sister of poor Ruth, the latter capably portrayed by Jane Mulholland. Janet Hanson did very well also in her por- trayal of the mother of the two. The day before we broke up for the Easter Holidays the Senior Plays were enjoyed by all. This year they chose Quality Street and The Dmnb Wife of Cheapside. In the former, Sandra McKee and Joan Fagan were very good as two of the sisters of Quality Street. As the dumb wife of Cheapside, Sheila McCormick, having not said a word in the first act, made up for her lack of lines in the second act when she talked incessantly, much to the anguish of her husband played by Janet Hanson. These have been the plays presented by the budding actresses of Elmwood this year.
