SALAD DAYS’WILL BE A HAPPY MEMORY FOR A LONG TIME


“ Salad Days,” the musical play by Dorothy Reynolds and Julian Slade, was a new


venture for St. Michael’s Players but after a slightly unccdam start the company swung into the dialogue, singing and dancing like old troupers when t ic show began a six-night run at


The Hall, Lowcrgate, on Monday. Of course, many of the cast arc old troupers, hating | —


several uncles (not really wicked) and, most important of a , ig


a magic piano which compels people to dance. Edward Worswick an d


Patricia Wareing were well- matched as Timothy and Jane, the leading romantic


roles. They are loaned a piano for a


month and from then on their joys and sorrows begin.

the night club scene and the park, where the magic piano scts policemen, nurses with babies, young couples, and men in the city, dancing anything from the Charleston to the Twist.


One scene which was particu­


larly well-done was when Pat Hargreaves, p l a y i n g Jane’s mother, is at the beauty parlour. Her playing of the scene—car­


rying on two telephone conversa­ tions while having her hair, face, and nails done—was really pro­ fessional. Eq u al ly professional were


Doreen Dickinson, as the chief beautician and Carol Musgrove and Christine Haslam as the assistants. To describe the scene more


fully would spoil it for those who have not yet seen the show.


LIVELY DANCING The dancing was lively and


well-timed and the gay songs, such as “ Oh. look at me, I'm dancing,” "We said we wouldn’t look back” and “ I sit in the sun ” were particularly effective. The show contains many char­


acter roles and ill these Bill Tay­ lor. Pat Hargreaves, Derrick Hutchinson, and the producer. Edmond Cambien, excelled, play­ ing several roles each. Bill Taylor as the policeman


describing how he danced in the park to his chief was perfect clowning and other gems were Derrick Hutchinson’s portrayal of the head of an haute couture establishment and Eileen Smith's Asphynxia, the night club singer. Other principals were Michael


Scolt-Coomber, who. was well- cast as a young lord and an admirer of Jane's, Eileen Smith, as both Rowena and Asphynxia, Alison MacMillan i FionaL Ig­ natius Calvert (Uncle Augus­ tine), Michael Blades (Elect­ rode). Tom Cowman (tramp), Celia Speak (Timothy’s mother),


Eileen Stirzaker (Aunt Pruei. Wil l i am Manley (Troppo). Michael O’Hagan (Fosdyke), An­ thony Thornber as the inspector,


and Christine Embery, Christine Haslam. and Carol Musgrovc os mannequins. Frances Shcrliker. who has


had a great deal of experience in this field, was dancing mis­ tress and Frank Worden, also well-known was musical director. Rolf Catlow was at the piano


with William Marshall (bass). George Burgess (drums), and Freda Taylor and Bernard Law- ton (violins).

DOWN YOUR LANE


OEOPLE who have paid £4,000 -L for luxury homes on the George Lane Estate, Read,


found to their amazement that they were living in old-fashioned Tennyson Street!


Their houses are in fact in a


direct line with Tennyson Street, which includes only two houses


, . . one at the top of Straits Lane and one at the to]) of Fort


Street. Thus the residents wrote to


Burnley Rural District Council asking for their section of the street to be renamed.


,


Committed .Urn-!., the.. rsridojjifitj' claimed the name or -lNBiiiy.** / Street” was not in keeping with the dignity of a £4,000 house. To this Councillor D. H. J.


Stuttard suggested “ How about


Nolls’ Way? ” Tlie Surveyor. Mr. D. Ash­


worth. said that if a new name were to be chosen, it ought to apply to the whole street in case a through road were ever made: but Councillor D. Couch sug­ gested that the older residents of the street might not want the name changing. “ It all depends whether you


have paid £500 or £4,000 for your house! ” he said. He suggested that the whole


matter , should be left to the parish council for a decision by the residents themselves. Declared Mr. Ashworth. “ This


is nothing more than a storm in a tea-cup. Tennyson Avenue


would fit the bill admirably." The members agreed, and now the street is to become an avenue!


EGG PRICES British Egg Marketing Board's

first l thought the horn pictured here ivas just an old hunting horn but on enquiry I round it " ’as actually a


quaint piece of fishing equipment—a bait horn. Apparently a cow's horn was often used for carrying live bait but 1 do not think that many will be found so ornamented


as this one. It has neat mclal mountings


with an attached chain and a small cap at the narrow end also once held a small chain. On the metal ring at the end is inscribed 1836.


BRIEF VISIT Visiting friends and relatives


at the weekend were Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Smithies, who went


from Clitlicroe to live in Salis­ bury, Southern Rhodesia, about


nine years ago. . Mr. and Mrs. Smithies left


Clitheroe on Tuesday morning after staving for three days with friends, 'Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bridge, of 12. York Street,


Clilhcroe. ” Wc had a small party for


them on Monday evening and the doorbell never seemed to stop ringing.” Mrs. Bridge tells me. ” The news soon spread and quite a few old friends turned up.”


,gorvi in plays and. productions of the former Clitheroe Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society.


The couple are on holiday for


a few weeks and were glad to be able to make a brief visit to then- home town to see old friends. Also present, however, were


two new friends. Mr. and Mrs. J. Sarsfield. of Traflord Gardens. Barrow, whose son. Neil, has Income a great friend of the


Smithies. Neil, who is 22. sailed to Salis­


bury in December. 1961, to join the British South Africa Police and he soon became friendly with Mr. and Mrs. Smithies. Mr. and Mrs. Sarsfield were


pleased to hear news of their son. who has found a ’’ second home ” with the Smithies when­ ever he is able to visit them. Mr. and Mrs. Smithies are


visiting relatives and spending some time in Jersey before fly­ ing home on May 1.


P.C. RETIRES After 30 years' service with


Lancashire County Police. P.C. Stanley Oddic. second son of Mrs. and the late Mr. J. Oddie. of 15 St. Mary’s Street, Clith­


eroe. has retired. P.C. Oddie has been village


txfiiceman at Halsall, near Ormskirk. for the past 10 years. He joined the force at Lan­ caster Castle and has served at


mithies (formerly. -Joyce Oro% Morccambc, Swinton and Stan-


dish. Mr. Oddie is maried with one


daughter. He will continue to live in Halsall. and has been appointed area representative for a Midlands firm of farm fertilisers and veterinary pre­


parations. His area will include the


Clitheroe district. A GAZEBO


The turrets pictured in this column last week are. I now


learn, actually a gazebo. Sir H. Russell Hornby, of


Barraclough. has sent me two letters referring to the building in Shaw Bridge Street. Some venrs ago Sir Russell


asked ’’ Country Life ” about the buildings and received the follow­ ing information in reply: - It is difficult to be quite cer­


tain of the purpose of the build­ ing to which you refer without any clue as to its exterior appear­


ance and position, but. in view of the approximate date of about


1700. 1 should think that it is a type of garden-house or gaz.ebo. -These little buildings were


very popular in the 17th and eariv 18th centuries and served as rather delightful little sum­ mer houses in which meals could be prepared and taken in pleas­ ant weather, whilst their win­ dows afforded a view over the garden walls that generally en­ closed gardens at that period." The letter was forwarded to


Mr. Herbert Gradwell. of A. R. Gradwell and Sons, architects, surveyors, estate agents and valuers, ot 17. Shaw Bridge


Street. Clitheroe. Replying to Sir Russell. Mr.


Gradwell wrote: " In the ease of the one down


here one can imagine the view- one would get from the upper windows before the surrounding property was built, and of course a good portion of the high wall


is still In good order.’ Sir Hussell also points out that


there is a gazebo in Captain Fra nk Mitchell's garden. in Church Street. Clitheroc.


50 YEARS AGO Following our report last week
