Give Drama Award To Veteran Actor And Educationist"

By JAMES BULLER. (Canadian Press Staff Writer)

VICTORIA. Jan. 26 -- (CP) -— Credltcd with doing more I01‘ theatre in Canada than ‘Ally other person. Leslie Bullock Webster. former director of school and community drolna for the British Columbia department of education. was nanled among seven award winners for 1947 by the Canadian Drama society.

Alter promoting dranla on the west coast and other parts oi the Dominion for 4.6 years. Bullock- Webster rah-ed last spring and returned to Britain where he now lives at Fowcyf England,

One of the most prolific play- wrights in Canada. the tull. elect and handsome Bullock-Webster was widely known as well as an acfnr. public speaker, politician. business man and soldier. Born '10 years ago in Liandebr, Wales, he became an actor when injuries forced his discharge frqm_ the British Army during the Eouth African War.

Alter playing in several musical comedies on the London stage. Bullock-Vilebster joined a touring company which was coming to the United States. That was the first step to his initial trip to Canada.

"I had always wanted to go to Canuda." he said later. "l went to the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia and helped the late George Kirby form an amateur club,

“Later I returned to England lo accept an offer by George Dance-- later Sir George Dance — to play in “The Chinese Honeymoon.“ He remained with the company several yearn and finally became stage manager and director.

Returned to Canada

When he recovered from injuries suffered when his hOrse {ell in a mualc hall turn, Bullock-Webster returned to Prince Rupert in 1910 when he was elected alderman

"_and founded the Prince Rubert Little Theatre. At the same time

he founded and became manager of the Northern B. C. Agricultural Association.

After the Pint world War. in which he served al company com arlder of the 54th Koolenay Betta ion. and finally an brigade major, he became labor-manager of the Vancouver Harbor Marine Shipyard and founded the B. C. Dramatic school.

From 19M to i880 more than 700 student: studied stagecraft. liter- ature and public rpeaklng st- the dramatic school in‘ Victoria and Vcncouver. Some won lchollr- 8111M in Iondon; other: have done

stages.

The Drama Association grew re rapidly that Education Mlnlqtcr George Weir . created a, drama branch of hll department in 1936 and‘ placed Bullock-warmer in charge. _

He vlllted all parts of the province to form drama groupl. "Percival: profit! were usually distributed’ for welfare people. When the Second World War came th e were 1N Httle ‘mourn.

WINNIPIG. Man. (Special) — One afternoon. my w! and l‘. were Pr‘. the ‘little Gallery’ an art More, on Kennedy Sh. seeing about hav- in; some prints of ‘The Masters‘ framed. Having mule our choice. of fumes. and requesting that the pioturu be forwarded to our Il- lend address. I asked the clerk. “What will be the extra charge- for shipping?" She looked at mo, rather queetloulngly. and said: "1 cannot tell you. right of! — It (meaning the pictures) has in cmll water, heart it?" "Oh. yes,” aald I, thinking of the Island ferry- and then-I stooped - recalling la mind the stories I had heard a- bout the knowledge some had e- bout Prince Edward Inland. look- ing at her, wonderful. I asked, “Do you know where Prince Edward Id- land is?" “I don't know. if I d0," came the reply. Feeling indignant, I answered hotly, “Prince Edward Island ls one of the Provinces .>I Canada." And I could have added, “Small but important." We got our pictures forwarded at no extra cost.

Another day at Eatonks Depart- mental Store on Portage. Donald and Hargrave Stls. my wife bought an article o! merchandise on om D.A. (Deposit Account). Our D. A. was in our two addresses -1eland and Winnipeg. My wife gave the Island address so as to have them forward the article. A little bewil- dered. the saleslady. upon hearing Prince Edward Island. said, "l: that an apartment?"

I have heard many stories about the questions asked ‘Harvest Excur- sioners’ mncernlng P. E. I. "Arc there any schools?" Have you a church on the Island?" One story comes to mind about a Mr. — sf the eastern part of the Island who was asked by a. Canadian West- crner, "Hove you any horses on the Island?" "No" came the re- spouse. “We milk our cows. and put them in the, plough."

Over three years ago, a young lad in the services, who went to his home on the Island for the Christmas holidays told me that ln n central Canadian city. he asked at the depot, n1 ticket for Summer- slcle. Prince Edward Island. “Sam, sir." said the ticket agent, “We can sell you a ticket as fer as Monc- ton only. They have no trains on the Island." "That's funny," said the lad. “I came from the Island on one."

Afterwards, I wondered who was right-the ticket agent or the lad. Hove we. or have we not a lmill service on the Island? Thar. is the question. Many a story. BVf-‘fl to a song, is fold about the P.E.I. and the Blueberry express. Who has not spent a pleasant hour of fun and enjoyment. looping the loop at Vernon. and speeding dowz. the truck on the evening train from hllnernld to Borden? Know- lll something of railway pioneer- ing on the Island. I have often said, “Is this a train?" And who has no"; salcl it while travelling on the "Pig's Eye?"

r-

I was asked to address a girl's club and was requested to have my talk about P. E. I. The glrlewere from twelve years to sixteen years of age; and during my address. showed keen interest in the geo- graphic andihistorlcal informs- tion, I gave. After, I naked if there were any questions. These came thick and fast. Wondering what knowledge- they had. I queationyl. “How many schools do you think P. E. I. has?" The answer came, '_‘Three". “What about churches?‘ I asked. The answer came. "071 maybe about six." The girls seemed] puzzled about some of the infor- mation and exclaimed. “No atlcan cars!“ "And no clty busaesl" Theo‘ to my surprise came the qllfllliull. "Do they Jitterbug?" Hastily l mode my exit-"Jltterbugf? "Wha' kind of an insect la that?" O I l

I was told about the informs lion some central Canadians, have about the Garden of the Gulf. One story I recall to mind, and it is about an Island led in Central Canada sending a telegram to l-b- P. it. I. He naked, “What is the charge for sending that telegram?" when he was told. he exclaimed. "Surely, it doesn't cost that much?" “It has to go to mgland. hasn't it?" came the reply.

Ono evening, while visiting an

ed many questions by the ihmily about. the Island. The father wishing to show his iufomnetion, said. “On the Island. they are like back homo in Ireland - they live on potatoes and fish. They gq;

I did often wonder why our Ia- lend province p. ‘uced so many fine, brilliant. bralruy folk. who have played a greet part in the world's society. and who have made a mark for themselves. Now I know —‘juet potatoes and flah.’

One day, a. lady. a native of our ‘Southern Neighbour’, having spent some time on the Island mingling among the people, said to me. “My. are not the people simple. They are such a simple 30m." 1 thought-it over and said, “Ifhallk God for allnplicicy." Considering the advantages of the peat, and the privileges offered - the Is- land people do stand out aa e won- derful folk. What country. under such handicaps-caused by gov- ernments or what have you - ill-l given co much to the world —such tender hearted, loving and smiling folk, who have atrlven largely no fulfil the Scriptural injunction, ‘In the sweat of thy face shalt thou out bread," while the ground brings forth. cursed with thorns end thist- lea. _ I I I

We must confess that our Island province in some ways is many years- ‘backwards’. especially in the field of education. as compared with the other provinces. I read an article. --where, in what maga- zine, and by'whom. I cannot re- cell—in which was stated that the province of B. C. leads the provin- ces of Canada in education. follow- ed by Manitoba. in the second place. This article stated that P. E. I. came struggling well down in the list.

Yet-whoals not proud of his native province? "Breather. therr the man with soul sodaad whb never to himself has arid. "This la my home, my native land!"

I recall what was said, while I was attending the University Many c lad said. "Oh, you are from P.E.I.? You have no need for fear. No Islander Iver foiled here. com- lng from Prince of Wales College." One evening some of the boys were asking an Islander who came m late Nov. to attend University classes. “How do you think you will make the grade, coming so late In

In talking with some former Is- landers about their recent. visits to their home town, I hear the some story. “Terrlbly disappointed. No progress. Still years behind and so self satisfied. Buildings lack paint. Poor, restaurant service. So few places to eat. The rural plnces have not in their villages, eating pieces or ice cream parlors. It as a let down."

One said, "I was to an ice cream social one evening at H-—. and they had a dancing saloon. _- l watched for awhile _—and there they were thrashing ‘about the floor ea they did fifty years ago, trying to keep time to a fiddler rasping away on the strings some tune he picked up." "Yen" thought I. “But if you would look beck into the pages of your mem dry-you would soy like many more with a. sigh. "Those werc the good old days."

"Later". said he, “I attended an ice cream social at V-—, and they had a sign posted. "Waltzes." A violinist played. but no one waltzed The sign went up, ‘Fox ‘Hot.’ One couple fox-trotted. Then the sign went up, ‘Old Time Dancing.’ The floor was covered with people. swinging and sway- ing to the ‘Little Burnt Potato.‘ “

In travelling among people who have never visited the Island, and visiting them in their homes. one door realize how little is known about P. E. I. ‘lb most, three things stand out. Foxes, Po- tatoes, and the ‘Anne Books’ b! L. M. Montgomery. '
