ous changes of scene, but Miss Mills has managed to compress the action almost mtlrely in­ to Read Hall, wltli only brief excursions to Qol^haw and to Pendle Hill.


i | ' • Many of the episodes end on


a dramatic notej and the thread of mystery and under­ currents of uncertainty are well maintained throughout.


Two characters I stood out


above all the rest, those of R o g e r N owe l l , Justice of the Peace, andj his pretty young cousin, Margery Whi­ taker.


Jean Robertson was excep­


tionally good as Roger. It Is the greatest tributelto her act­


ing to say that one almost for­ got she was a girl. I Always In


command,: she dominated the stage throughout ,the entire play, bringing to the character a graciousness and elegance, allied to boldness and vigour that was typical of the age.


ADMIRABLE FOIL Judith Park was equally to


the fore as Margery She made her a lively young miss, and gave a pohshed performance that was entrancing In Its gaiety.


. j She yjas an admirable foil


for Miss Robertson. Indeed, | the pair of them were word perfect In a maze of compli­ cated dialogue tliat might have daunted glrlsj with less accomplishment.


1 Margaret Edon brought a


note of dour Purltarilsm to the role of Richard BaWiyln, the churchwarden and Intrepid witch - hunter, while Susan Hardley was charming as his daughter.


j The witches, were as evil-


looking a bunch as one could wish (or not wish) to meet on a Hallowe’en near Malkin Tower. They screeched and

howled, remonstrated and were generally abusive to all


and sundry; It was a treat to' hear the


authentic Pendleslde acemt in these chameters. who were portrayed with great realism,


j Responsible for many excel­ lent little cameos were Mary Duckworth as Deradlke, Vale­ rie Woods as Elizabeth Device, Caroline Moss as Allzqn Device and Elizabeth Pye as Jennet Device. • '


: I PORTLY DIGNmr June Smith, too, w ^ excel­


lent as James Device, while Susan Shorrock brought a portly dignity and ah air of wisdom to , the role of Nick


Banister, a Justice i of the Peace. Though Sally ,preston made


but brief appearances'as Alice Nutter, they were always wel­ come. With flashing eyes, full of scorn and fury, she battled with Roger Nowell and her screams when finally un­


masked were nothing less than demoniacal,


, Kathleen Driver was confl-


dent as her son. Miles, Mar­ garet Senogles was a hr-ave figure as his Uncle Tony, While Mary Blrtwell made a splendid Margaret Crook, Tony’s sister.


Susan Preston had a diffi­


cult role as Christopher Southworth, a priest of the- English Mission, hunted by the law, yet always managing to keep his liberty. She plhyed It with a quiet confidence that was most effective.


PENDLE FOLK Christine Lonsdale, too was


admirable as Francis Hllilard, a man In the Earl of Derby’s service, who falls In love with ;^rgery Whitaker.


Pamela Ward had a small


role as Tom Peyton, groom-to Roger Nowell, while Veronica Smith played Anne Sower- butts, Margery’s maidservant.


Jane Williams upheld the


law as Constable Harry Har­ greaves, while Jennifer Met­ calfe enacted the role of Abraham Law. "" '


I A variety - of Pendle folk


who added colouf to the scene were portrayed by Judith Alty, Anne Aubln, Anne Blrt­ well, Sheila Bush, Sheila Fort Andrea Johnson, Elizabeth Plnder, Kathleen Seabrldge, Janet Sllnger, Jean Weights man, Deanna Williams and Doreen Wilkinson.


DAYS LOST THROUGH STRIKES


The ‘total number of working


days lost as a result of industrial disputes in the first seven months of this year was 7,831,000, a very small number, says the Ministry of Labour, in proportion to the total number of workers.
