During the last few weeks the writer was in Tignish and Souris, and each of these communities were rehearsing their Pat's play in earnest. The Tignlsh produe. tion is "The Light Eternal." a deeply religious theme, and is di- rected by Father Gallant Sourls 13 1101113 ”Quiet Honeymoon." which proves to be anything but. and should bring it lot of laughs and a good evening's entertain- ment.

1) re ma Course

Monday evening saw the final session of the all-too-bricf Drnmn Course in Cliarlottetown. and the instructor. Mr Graham suter or London. England, left yesterday Bibrning to continue his tour of Canada as regional adjudicator for the Dominion Drama Festival,

It was very gratifying to see so mlmy taking the course. and in spite of the road conditions, we "0”C9d People present from sum- merslde. St. Peter's Bay and Corn- wall. Of course those in and near Charlottetown received most good from the course as they were 3519 to sit in on all of the four ses- alone.

The first of these classes was devoted to voice production which Mr. Suter stated did not always receive as much attention as it should. He gave exercises breath control and word produc-

tion, every member of the class taking mrt. One of these was extremely interesting. showing

what could be done with isttack, interpretation. variety of tempo and tone, and the picking up of a cue. The members sat in two lines. facing each other. and as one per- son sald, "I hate the sight of you!" the one he wits facing re- Dlied. "And I hate the eight of you."

Try it some time. You'll be amazed at the number of differ- ent ivavs a simple line like this might be said.

The second session dealt with the choice nf plavs and planning the rehearsals and some very en- lightening points were brought. out and discussed.

Later he brought tip the duties of 'Stage Manriger." and stressed the importance of this rmrt of play production. This role is es- peclally good for anyone who is interested in dlrcciing at some future date. and Mr. Suter told the group that many IIPOIOSEIOIYII directors started their careers in this capacity.

In case you are not familiar with the term "Stage Manager." he is the one who prepares the prompt book, arranges rehearsals. looks after properties. lights and stage effects. and the curtain cues, He may. of course. have some of these duties allotted to others. but he is responsible fur a technically smooth production. He is usually assisted by the prompt:-r.

One of the most important fac- tors in the producing of ii play. so Mr. Sutor said. was the necessity
