Comment Old ladies give play by Juliette Proom. . The Terrace Little Theatre Company really is good, or at least they know how to put on a good per- formance, Friday night I had the pleasure of seeing Arsenic and Old Lace. Aside from the script or the acting, the play was good. The make-up was subtle and effective. Jonathan Brewster as portrayed by Brian Koven looked so much like Boris Karloff that I found myself hoping that I wouldn’t meet him in a dark alley. And the Brewster sisters — what dear old ladies. Their hair was tastefully disarrayed, their clothes were quaint but suitable. I’d. like ta have them over for tea one afternoon, but after seeing what they did to a dozen or so men, I’m not sure I'd accept an invition to their house. Abby and Martha Brewster are two charitable old ladies who like to help homeless old men to an early demise. They lace elderberry wine with a touch of arsenic and a dab of cyanide. Their peculiarity started one day when a potential boarder dropped dead in their living room without any help. ‘‘He looked so peaceful that we thought we- d help other men who were alone in the world,” said one of the sisters to disap- proving nephew Mortimer. _Life was tough for Mor- timer throughout the play. He worked as a big city drama critic and com- plained bittelry about the trash he was subjected too. Journalism is a hard calling, according to Mortimer. He was in love with a sweet young (but very sensible) parson’s daughter. They wanted to get married, but Mortimer was afraid to in case he possessed a dab of the family insanity. Grandfat rewster used to try out patent medicines on cadavers in case the potions were toxic. Dear sweet aunties were in the habit of poisoning old men and brother Teddy thought he was President Roosevelt. Brother Jonathan was banished from the household many years age because of his violent ten- dancies. Who knows what Mortimer’s quirk might be? Brother Jonathan, by the way, made a rather un- timely reappearance. After the Brewster sisters had promised not to invite any more strangers into their home, and while they had poor Mr. Hoskings lying in the window seat, dead of course, Jonathan arrived with a stiff of his own. The second act was spent juggling corpses in a rather amusing way. As far as I could tell from my seat in the back row, those were real bodies they were dealing with. I suspect they were still breathing, but I don’t want to be quoted on at. E ach of the first two acts ended in a cliff-hanger, At the end of the second act, Jonathan was measuring Mortimer’s neck with his hands. I spent the in- en but sti wondering if it would. My worries were in vain, ® but | won't tell you why or how. It wouldn’t be fair if you plan production at the end of this week. It really is a wor- thwhile entertainment. I i suggest you get to the theatre early though because seats got scarce and the play started right at 8 p.m. NOTICE PUBLIC HEARINGS Pursuant to the Department of Municipal Affairs Act the Minister of Municipal Affairs has appointed a Committee to review the regional district concept.
