Ftbli Tllli Sfllltbtll. Xlfklt H350 -lU3l if fi 7 iziaftwrrucs. i 'P l -- ,, . . ' lhe present N-hool Year has been a l :notable and active one for the Selwyn X f llouse Players in that. lirst. two enter- , tainments in place of the usual one were l given. one at tlhristinas and one at 4 lfaster. and secondly. we used for the i lirst time our own stage and scenic elfects. l The stage is small but adequate and the eurtain prosceniuln. background and ceil- ing: are truly excellent: more valuable still from the acting-producing: angle. il was a great help to be able to hold re- NJX-fl hearsals on the stage itself. instead of waiting until the last day.as was necessary in prev ions years when an outside stage and hall were used. Xt the Christmas entertain- ment. the new stage presented certain problems involv ing visibility and speed in making changes in scenery. but by liaster we knew where we were and each successive show should be run oll' more elliciently. .Xt Christmas. two plays were presented. l.e Xlalade lmaginairen. produced by Mme. tiyger. and Treasure Island . adapted and produced by Nlr. Xlayer. The former is all abridged version of the play by Xloliere and. thanks to lllne. t'iyger's skilful direc- tion. proved to be very successful. The elderly hypochondriac was cleverly portrayed by Pierre Raymond while Derek Nlarpole capably played the part of his very beautiful daughter. Angelique. whose lover. tfleante tplayed by John liddl. pretended to be her music teacher when he was told by Toinette. the maid. that Angelique was to be married to Thomas Diafoirus. a young man about to receive his degree in medicine. The part of Toinette was excellently acted by Peter Krohn. who provided the audience with most ol' the laughs. especially when he pretended to be a doctor capable of restoring youth to anyone. Brian Buchanan played Thomas Diafoirus and the role of Nl. Diafoirus. his father. a fully-fledged doctor. was acted by Charles Nlaclnnes. After excellent performances by the Senior Choir. directed by Nlr. Phillips. and the Junior Choir. directed by Mrs. Tester. each of which gave charming selections of l21l
