A DRAMATIC TRIUMPH
AT the end'of a hard-fought week pf vastly varied theatre, Calderstones Revue and Dra matic Society triumphed at the 1 Ribble Valley Drama Festival. The only local group taking
part, they swept aside strong opposition to darry off the shield for best production and the cup, for best producer, an award well deserv ed by Gabrielle Cox. Their play, “Key for Two,” is

duction. They stuck rigidly to the script, using good attack, and the characters built up beautifully and came alive. The set was magnificent, stage space was very well used and the excellent props were used correctly. There was never anyone in the wrong place and timing was generally very fine. The whole thing was a great laugh and the actors gave it everything they had.
Jimmy bows out with a flourish
THAT lovable old rascal of the local ama teur stage took his final bow on Saturday
night — and, true to form, he ended on a high note, laughter ringing in his ears as the curtain cl'osed for the final time on a remarkable “performance” spanning 72
years. The thespian in question, of course, is Jimmy
Fell. He chose the finale of the Ribble Valley Drama
Festival, which he has successfully chaired for many years, to bid what was obviously a sad, mov ing farewell to the local stage, where he has wise cracked and entertained over so many decades. But not before he was somewhat upstaged by the
Ribble Valley Mayor, Coun. Les Ncvett. As is customary, Jimmy, now aged 76, rose at the
end of the proceedings to thank everyone who had helped make the event a success and opened with the comment: “It falls to me to have the last word .
last word — or so we thought — had been reserved for others. The Mayor climbed to his feet to pay tribute to a man who has given so much pleasure to so many people over the years and festival secre tary Miss Barbara Cullen presented the commit tee’s gifts of a cigarette lighter and ballpoint pen and her own personal thanks with her “Ode to Jimmy,” ending with the touching words: “Thank you for being a darned good chairman, for being Jimmy Fell.” We might have known what would happen next.' The old trouper jumped to his feet and, to much

chairman of the Ribble Valley Council’s Recre ation and Leisure Committee, announced that a schools’ drama festival is to be named after Jimmy to mark his contribution to the local theatre. Jimmy himself admitted that he had wept with
pride when he heard the news some weeks ago. No one present, of course, believed for one
stage again. ' ' His fans hope he will be making many an encore for years to come.
