York Symphony Orchestra â€" with Can- tabile Chorale; excerpts Show. T h e e r o w d e d auditorium at St. Andrew’s College was heartening testimony that this group is finally at- tracting the following it deserves. SUPERB! Peter Manierka is superb in the lead role of Whether he is wheedling favors from a Deity, or taking part in impassioned exchanges with his family and fellow villagers, his finely-honed sense of irony and deceptively easy sense of timing repeatedly delighted us. When he growls in Granted, these are actors who can sing, rather than singers who act, but then, Fiddler is really a bittersweet comedy with music. rather than a musical comedy. T h e c r o w d e d auditorium at St. Andrew’s College was heartening testimony that this group is finally at- tracting the following it deserves. Directors Susan Brown and Gwen Duchesne blend the group's acting talent with imaginative lighting, colorful costumes and sets to bring forth a memorable Show. BYTOMDAVEY Theatre Aurora’s Fiddler On The Roof reveals that a con- siderable depth of musical talent can be mustered from its acting ranks. JUST RIGHT But alas, the maid, played by Leslie Reid, is no Eliza. Blackboards, screens, lecturnes, micro- phones and morning or afternoon coffee available. She is also married to a rather stuffy, self- satisfied brewer, so she allows her suppressed love and fantasies to flow from her pen to captivate the lawyer. A superb performance. When she realizes the way events are shaping up and that the match will be socially disastrous, she attempts, unsuccessfully to persuade the maid to confess. When this fails, she attempts to coach the maid into a passable state of literacy. Hwy. 7 & Leslie St 5 acres of free parking.

Fiddler memorable ShOW PARKWAY HOTEL Like Cyrano, she conducts a courtship by correspondence on behalf of her illiterate maid. Unwittingly, this deceives a young barrister into proposing marriage. Unlike Cyrano, Dilys is lovely. as well as lucid and literate. By TOM DAVEY The Day After The Fair is a beautifully-crafted production which marks the successful directorial debut of David Phillips and the welcome return of Dilys Rubow to the Curtain Club boards.

SUSAN BROWN . . . . . stage director Tevye, dominating the stage with his huge bulk and bass baritone. Now Canadians have often played English roles successfully, but English The flashes of selfish defensiveness when her deception is threatened, are nicely portrayed and wholly convincing. WRONG ACCENT As the up-and-coming barrister, Dan Ryan has great stage presence. He would be ideally cast in this part except for one thing â€" he lacks an English accent. Calendar Leslie plays the character with exactly the right proletarian charm and innocence the part demands.

Tzeitel and Hodeli It’s difficult, even unfair, perhaps. to single out individual per- formances from this talented cast.

But the Curtain Club is a small, intimate theatre, not the O'Keefe Centre. Perhaps she would be even more effective if she underplayed the role slightly. barristers from the Inns of Court have frightfully proper accents, somewhere midway between Sir Lawrence Olivier and Sir Ralph Richardson. Apart from this, Dan is a real find for the Curtain Club, which traditionally has lacked depth in young male actors. Let us reserve seating in the Kings Club Lounge following dinner.

The pianist has a particularly heavy burden in this production, but 14-year-old Birgit Rohowsky played throughout the evening with a flair and com- posure which belied her years. Tim Pigden played the Fiddler both on stage and in the group. Jim Shepherd played the cello and Karl Rohowskylhe flute. HAVE YOU demand his daughter’s engagement be broken. Great theatre this!
