During the past five years, the Curtain Club’s annual Christmas pantomime has beâ€" come something of an institution in Richmond Hill. Perhaps it is the fact that institutions, by their very nature, tend to be‘ rather dull that this year’s pro- duction of “Dick Whittington" directed by Tony Hiscoke, fail- ed to make much of an impre- sion on either the children or the adults in the audience Mon- day night. Granted that pantomimes are intended to have some appeal to adults as well as children, this} is extremely difficult to ac-S complish. Certainly, when Dick Whittington appeared at the beginning of scene 1. act 1 and sang “Where is Love” the three to ten-year-olds in the audience couldn’t have cared less. And the rest of scene 1, with com- muters singing about the glor- ies of Toronto was really of no interest at all to children. While the union organizer who paraded silently across the stage at intervals carrying pla- cards reading “These songs are sung by non-union musicians, don’t listen to them" and “This play was produced by scabs and child labor â€" but thanks for coming anyway" was amusing enough for the sprinkling of adults (mostly harried mothers) but he was merely confusing for the children, most of whom couldn't read in any event. The acting, with two or three exceptions was wooden through- out. Margaret Queen as Dick Whittington both spoke and sang clearly and was heard even at the back of the hall, but she failed to get any feel- ing into her part. If she had been able to show some emo- tion at either parting from her sole possession, the cat. or at getting it back, the youngsters would have been much more in- volved in the whole business.

As a commuter, an oriental servant and a report- er, he hammed it up delight- fully and was so obviously en- joying himself that it was quite contagious. Half a dozen youngseters also enjoyed themselves playing mice -â€" Darlene Harcourt, Pi- xie Jackson, Debbie Lounsbury, Josephine Matyas, Marianne Neill and Nancy Trott. As the littlest mouse , Pixie Jackson was most appealing. Whether or not it is because my own small sprout, who has been taken to the pantomime for the past three years. is just becoming too old for them, it seems that they have slipped badly the past two years. Three years ago. at four years of age, he loved “Aladdin” and exclaim- ed on the way home “Oh. I wish I were more still there." View- ing “Cinderalla” at five years, he was mildly amused. At six, Dick Whittington bored him. Perhaps by six or seven our youngsters are just too sophis- ticated to be amused by fairy tales. Compared to “Aladdin” three years ago, this year’s pro- duction lacked both color and action, both of which attract children. ance as King Algernon and was the only thoroughly comic actor in the play. As his wife Queen Abigail. Kay Tidswell was also quite effective and suffi- ciently regal for the two of them. And do adults really need to be appealed to in a Christmas pantomime? It has always been my im- pression that they were in- tended primarily for chil- dren. Surely the parents, who must perforce accom- pany their children would take more enjoyment out of seeing them captivated by a completely child-cen- tred production. “Dick Whittington” attempted to amuse both children and adults and as a result, really interested neither. John David Brown, only son of Mr. and Mrs. William Brown, 128 Weldrick Road, Richmond Hill, passed away at the Tor- onto General Hospital, on Thursday, December 10, 1964, in his 29th year. Although Da- vid had been in failing health since suffering a heart attack at Niagara Falls in April, his friends were shocked to hear of his sudden death as a result of another attack. Except for the year he had been employed at Niagara Falls, the late Mr. Brown was a life- time resident of Richmond Hill, attending both public and high school here and working for some years as bookkeeper at the Jones Building Supplies Company Limited. Rev. J. F. O‘Neil officiated at the funeral service held in the Wright & Taylor Chapel of Pi- pher Funeral Home, on Satur- day, December 12. Interment was in Maple Cemetery.
