* Pleasing Exception To Old Rule

By ALAN C. HOLMAN

There was a time, and not long ago, when it was with something close to fear and tre pidation that one went to school plays. If one did not go in fear, he at least went knowing he was in for a long boring night of watching other people's chil- dren try to perform on the stage. Of course, there was no thing boring about the perform- ances of his own children

Last night’s production of “Once Upon A Clothesline” by the students of grades seven, eight and nine of Queen Char- lotte High School proved a wel- come exception to that zeneral- ization

The parents of the 16 buddinz actors and actresses who took over stage at the Confederation Centre last evening can, with a great deal of justification, sweil with pride and extol the virtues of their off-spring

Those who were there who were not parents or grandpar- ents, and there wasn't too ma- ny, thoroughly enjoyed the per- formance and were no doubt somewhat surprised at the high calibre.of the acting. the exce! lence of the sets and the zood use of the lighting

STAND-OUTS

The whole production was very well done and all the stu- dents played their roles exce!- lently, but there were one or two stand-outs that mem! spe- cial meption.

w to do that. as is all too often the case when stories or plays ire written for young people.

And perhaps the most import- ant facet of the entire play, it was just about the right length. An hour and half, not too long and not too short. The whole cast had excellent, for lack of a better term, stage presence Their movements were were real and convincing. Their speech was clear and their voi- ces carried well. MORE CREDITS

The director, or is the cor- rect term directress, was Mrs. Kathleen McAuley and she de- serves a lot of credit. She, as was obvious from last evening’s presentation, spent many hours in extra curricular work.

The sets done by Donald Ste- wart and his crew added a great deal and the makeup by Judie Miller and members of the Queen Charlotte staff was also better than average, as was the lighting handled by Ron Irving. The costumes were done by home economics teachers at the school, Mrs. Hazel Matheson and Mrs. Syliva Matheson. | » The members of the cast were: Gaylene Coffin, Gracie | Finley, Peter McAuley, Sandy |McAuley, Christine Lothian, Ti- mothy Williamson, Maureen Costello, Frank Likely, Kathie Stewart, Jimmy MacMillan, Les- lie Saunders, Linda Kays, Patsy Kipping, Laurie Saunders, Pam- ela Campbell] and Rowan Fitz- gerald.

Ship Chandlers | Gutted By Fire

A Kennedy and Co. ship chandiers, 32 Queen Street was gutted by fire early yesterday | morning. The Charlottetown | Fire Department was on the scene at 5.45 a.m., but the fire was not extinguished until eight | o'clock. /

A. Kennedy and Co. is at pres- ent owned by a company com- | prised of the estate of Col.C.L |MacKay, Miss B.M. Vanider stine. Mrs. J.C. McKenna. Fred Smal! and John A. MacNair

Mr. MacNair has managed the company since 1925 when it |was at that time owned by Bruce Stewart Lid. The present owners bought the company 'from Bruce Stewart Lid. in 1941

When the Bruce Stewart Co assumed ownership of A. Ken- nedy is not known, but there is a possibility that Kennedy's was operated as a branch of Bruce | Stewart Co. from the time it began in 1693

The firm was started by an Archie Kennedy, but when this was is also unknown, though it is safe to say it was well over 100 years ago. The firm moved into its present location in 1942. It was situated originally across |Water Street, where DeBlois Bros. is now located. The two firms exchanged buildings in 1942.

The cause of the fire is unde- termined, but a fire department officia] said there is a possibil- ity the cause is connected to a | flue fire in the neighbouring J.
