AURORA â€" Despite the lightness of theme and absence of plot which are so often characteristic of farce. it is probably one of the most difficult forms in theatre. It demands from actors and director alike unlimited energy in the maintenance of pace, and a very special awareness of the difâ€" ference between character and caricature. Theatre Aurora is to be congratulated on both accounts. Its production of Phillip King’s Pool‘s Paradise (a sequel to See How They Run) is breathtakingly quick in pace, but at the same time shows carefully worked out charac- iterization, making the play credible without detracting from the humor of the incredibly complicated entangle» ments. Enthusiasm abounds in fast-paced farce If fault is to be found at all, one could only term all performances as perhaps slightly over- enthusiastic, but never over-acted. This can be excused, however, as compensation for a eneral lack of substance nd subtley in the play 'tself. In an evening of en- ioyable performances :here were four which were especially fine. The well-timed entrances of the maid Ida, played by Elizabeth Shaw, kept veryone on stage hop- ing, and everyone else aughing. Her consistency f accent and quick omebacks made her rformance absolutely See How They Run the Curtain Club’s rollicking farce about a day in the life of an English Vicarage, and what might be termed its inmates, comes to a merry end this week with four more performances, including this evening‘s. One of the reasons it's been going at such a happy clip is the performance of Terry Gosling of Richmond Hill, who is making her stage debut as lda the maid, who is both cockney and cocky. Liberal drama critic Tom Davey termed her stage presence “that of a veteran". MAPLE LIONS 10190 KEELE ST. HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, FURNITURE, APPLIANCES, ORNAMENTS, GAMES, TOYS, ANTIQUES ETC. AUCTIONEERS: GORD ORR. BRUCE MURCHINSON By Martha Buell ANNUALW AUCTION SALE 12 NOON. SAT., OCT. 23 MAPLE COMMUNITY CENTRE Ida dynamic in debut Norma Dover, as ex- actress and vicar’s wife Penelope Toop, handled a somewhat more difficult part with a charming ease that gave warmth and humor to her perâ€" formance. Witty and energetic, the naughty school-girl and repentant lover is a constant source of speculation for the other characters and audience. No one is really sure what she will think of next. Other members of the cast who acquitted themselves well were Mike Hepinstall as Reverend Toop, Alan Mitchell as the visiting priest Humphrey, and Jean Shiner as the somewhat voluptuous spinster, Miss Scillon, with lungs of Wagnerian amplitude. I especially enjoyed two of the smaller roles. Cy Buck as Willie Briggs, a simple and 10vable yoke], the object of Ida’s af- fections, demonstrates how eloquent a silent role can be. He says nothing at all during his first en- trance, but by the time he speaks we have already formed an idea of his character. I also enjoyed the Bishop of Lax, who, although his accent lapsed occasionally, maintained a suitable degree of pomposity throughout. This sober and pious ecclesiastic, portrayed by Don Wilson, provided a welcome element of sanity to the overwhelming confusion of the latter part of the play. delightful I’should like to com- I would also suggest that the play should not start until the audience is seated. I missed many of the opening lines of the play because there were people milling about and trying to find seats. This could have been caused by a lack of com- munication between the front of house and backstage personnel, however, and was not a serious problem. ment on two things, however, of a technical nature The set itself was very good and had the aura of virtuous disrepair common to vicarages but I found the furniture almost too good; it lacked the necessary severity.

Puzzle: How can a restaurant go from Greece to Italy? Such is the case of Guardy‘s Steak and Lobster Place in Thor- nhill, which was formerly known as Anny’s Steak House. Definitely above the quality of the average restaurant, Guardy‘s is managed by Vito Ardito, whose polished charm and attentive table manner make customers feel special. The tables were decorated in my old school colors, with gold table cloths and blue cloth napkins. Soft music provided a background to an otherwise quiet establishment. We enjoyed an aperitif cocktail and then started in on the appetizers. My companion chose the onion soup au gratin, ($1.25) which was a tangy broth with a rather shallow topping of cheese. I enjoyed the soup du jour (80 cents) of minestrone, finding it to be ex- ceptionally saporous. Entertainment Good decision Guardy‘s offers 18 delicious meals and it was a hard decision to make in selecting our fare for dinner. My companion finally chose the broiled scampi and couldn’t have made a better choice. Six prawn tails, nudging each other on a bed of steaming rice and melted butter, garnished with paprika. A side dish of green beans was unusually fresh tasting with just a tint of olive oil flavor. Greece to Italy by f/Ip 0f marquee By Norman Matthews Mulcahy resigns BARRIE â€" Sean Mulcahy, artistic director of Gryphon Theatre Company, has resigned, it was announced this week. An announcement as to whom will succeed Mulcahy, who was with the theatre for three years, is to be made as soon as the appointment is confirmed. In its announcement. the company said that “Extended discussion of the 1977 season resulted in mutual agreement between Mr. Mulcahy and the board of directors to terminate the association.” A better chance for everyone.

Imported house wines are available but expensive, with the advantage of being ob- tainable by the 1/4 litre. As such, my companion enjoyed a carafe of white wine whilst I had red.

We had a creme caramel custard dessert at 95 cents and a creme de menthe liquer parfait at $1.75. Our only problem was to find a place to put these treats, having received such generous portions of the main course. A good meal prepared with a minimum of fuss and served with noticeable preciseness for a total cost of $31.40 plus $3.15 tax and a $3.00 tip. My selection was the steak and lobster plate. often referred to as surf and turf. at $10.95 and it was scrumptious beyond words.
