proud of Blackburn's chang­ ing image and have pledged to introduce more initiatives before the Millennium. Cus­ tomer reaction to the new- look centre, which is being geared to take the town into the next century, has been very good. And who can blame shoppers for loving the vibrant, modern, fully cov­


ered centre? The location of the shop­


ping area could not be better for the town's other amenities, including King George's Hall, which is only a stone's throw away. And students at Black­ burn College have also been catered for, with the whole retailing empire available just a mere five minutes’ walk away - easily close enough to nip into the centre between


lectures. With other projects


already in the pipeline, you know you will enjoy your shopping visits to Blackburn time and time again.

Cannot afford to lose


Dudlands Kennels IT is indeed devastating news that, due to bureaucracy, the Ribble Valley will lose the outstanding care and expertise of Richard Birtwistle and his staff at


Dudlands Kennels. As a dog owner, .1 know that I would


prefer to have an animal exercised on a daily basis in the open, rather than being shut up in what are ironically termed "model conditions" for the whole day. Already there is a lack of kennel facili­


play "The Corn is Green" by Ernlyn Williams. Then my memory bank over­


flowed. The play was produced in London in 1938 and then there was the film star­ ring Bette Davis in 1945.


The story, in a nutshell, is about a small •


Welsh village when Miss Moffat opens a school and plans to send her star pupil of Oxford. The matter is put at risk when he is seduced by the flighty daughter of Mrs Watty, the housekeeper at the school. When the play was produced in London


ties within the area. You have to book way in advance to get an animal kennelled dur­ ing the summer holidays and it is hopeless if for any reason you need to board an ani­ mal at short notice. With the amount of development taking place within the area, this is not a situation that is going to be


reversed. Richard and his staff provide a very


high standard of animal husbandry, unfor­ tunately, a quality that cannot be mea­ sured on paper. It seems unfair that due to a lack of commonsense in the application of the 1995 Chartered Institute Environ­ mental Health Animal Boarding model licence conditions for dog and cat board­ ing establishment that Richard and his family have been placed in his situation. We cannot afford to lose Dudlands.

Book sends memory


j and then to get some sort of order, i I have piles of books; biographies and fiction and lots of them dealing with the theatre. Bookshops are always like a mag­ net to me when visiting new towns. As I dusted a large shelf a book dropped to the floor. What was it? The script of the

from the area. Can anyone help to the trace them? I would be grateful for any information.


in 1938, Sybil Thorndike played the role of Miss Moffat, Mrs Watty was played by Kathleen Harrison and Morgan Evans by


the author himself. Later on Emlyn Williams was a star on


the stage and in films and he also wrote several plays and books. He also toured with his one-man show when he dressed as Dickens and read excerpts from Dicken’s books. I saw him in this and was fascinat­ ed by his performance. He was dressed and


made up as Dickens. I understand that the original Dickens


went round reading from his novels. I sup­ pose in those early days not many people


would have books at home. Later on he gave his one -man show


based on the poems and stories of Dylan Thomas. With his theatrical training he could make all the characters come to life with his artistry. He would use different voices and different attitudes with his hands and expressions. The lighting on the stage would vary with the dark and light effect to express atmosphere and circum-


stances. I got to know Mr Williams through a


contact from a friend in my RAF years. I • tried to see as many performances as often as I could. He played Dylan Thomas in Harrogate and I asked if I could go back stage to see him after the show. This was agreed. The stage door keeper said that Mr Williams had a visitor already, but we


could wait. In a few minutes she came out, he kissed

her and then invited me in. He said he always saw Miss Cooke when he was up this way. He told me about one of his sons having a honeymoon holiday with Eliza­ beth Taylor and Richard Burton. From reading books I could see that Burton — a fellow Welshman - had every help when he started his theatrical career. When I got home, my detective brain


got working fast. Miss Cooke was his teacher when he was young and she gave him the idea for Miss Moffat. Obviously he would never forget her when she had worked for him and had given him every encouragement to go to Oxford. John Stratton knew the Williams family


very well. He had appeared in a few plays by the author. EDMUND CAMBIEN, Bolland Prospect, Ciitheroe.
