The Jesuits were founded


over 400 years ago and their influence has not been just a religious one. Their im­ pact on politics, exploration, astronomy and sociology has made them one of the most formidable societies of men in. the world—hated. ■ feared and yet regarded with un­ willing respect.


Macdonald Hastings, pic­


tured above, has written and narrated the Him. He comes from an old


Papist family and was educa­ ted at Stonyhurst, one of the biggest Jesuit board-in: schools in the world Himself an agnostic, lie

Clitheroc Parish Church Mothers’ Union May Market and Tea l a s t w e e k . . .


NOSTALGIC memories of the Roaring Twenties were brought back to older mem­ bers o[ the audience at per­ formances of “The Boy Friend” , given by Clitheroc Parish Church Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society, last week.


Songs like "Won't you


charleston?” and “ It’s never too late to fall in love” , together with clever make­ up and goo d costumes created an authentic atmos­ phere of the era. The year is 1926, and it


•is carnival time in Nice. All the young ladies of


Madame Dubonnet’s finish­ ing school are going to the fancy dress ball and they all have escorts except Polly, who has no boy friend. However, she is unmis­


takably attracted to Tony, •who delivers her costume for idle dance. Events move on from


(there. Tony agrees to go with Polly to the ball.


- j Rebel student Lord and Lady Brock- "•r-srtfttRn <


ihurst are also in Nice. Their son has run away from Oxford and ruined his career, and his parents are in pursuit.


When they see Tony with


Polly on the beach, the Brockhursts give chase, and Polly, thinking they arc chasing a thief, is heart­ broken. It was unfortunate that I


saw "The Boy Friend" on the first night, Tuesday. Most of the cast seemed


nervous and hesitant about their songs and dance rou­ tines. There were, however, some notable exceptions.


■ ] ]■ Eye for a gir Roy Oldroyd was very


good and highly amusing as Lord Brockhurst. ageing in appearance but very young at heart, with an eye lor a


t h i s w e e k . . . on THE BOY FRIEND


pretty girl. Lady Brockhurst, played


by Margaret Lavender, was another relaxed portrayal. Her facial expressions and


actions were natural and in keeping wth the part. Even when all attention


w a s on another player, Margaret Lavender contin­ ued to be Lady Brockhurst, and she carried it off very well. John Potts was also very


good as Tony, and in scenes with Polly they sang very well together. Both had good


strong voices. Polly, portrayed by Janet


Proctor, was nervous at first, but as the musical progressed she became more at ease, especially in scenes with


Tony. Another good part was that


of Madame Dubonnet, with Margaret Brunnock in the role.


She sang well, and was


amusing as the head mistress with matrimonial designs on Percy Browne, Polly’s father, played by Norman Howarth.


Popular There were some good


songs, well sung. Those that the audience seemed especi­ ally to like included “ I could be happy wth you” , which Polly and Tony sang with good voices and clear words. Another that was well


received was “ It’s never too laic to fall in love” , which was done very well and in an amusing manner by Lord Brockhurst aud Dulcie. one of the young ladies, played by Catherine Dinnis. Costumes were very good,


and those worn by Margaret Brunnock a n d Margaret Lavender were beautiful. The make-up. especially


for the females, was expertly done, and did not look too theatrical, which so often


happens in amateur produc­


tions. Mary Waddington, the


dancing mistress, coached the cast well, though in the first act the routines seemed to lack continuity. However, by the final act


everyone bad settled down and forgotten the audience and the dances were much more natural. A tango, performed by


John Higson and Elsie Fen­ ton, was very well done. The finale was extremely


good, and everyone on stage seemed much happier and appeared to be really enjoy­ ing themselves. The remainder of the roles


were played by: Pat Gaunt; Lesley Weaver; Bridget Din- nis; Susan Russell; Gerald-


ing Metcalfe: Margaret Howarth; Jean Robinson; Michael Gidlow; Robin Oldham; Bill Lewis; Dunca-n MacDonald; Derek Poyner; Fred Holt; Michael Bond: Anthony Edwards.
