During the first part of the per- formance, the audience thrilled at "'The Runaway Presents", a play of young children pa 3 in boxes, wrapped with paper and paint, ribbons and bows. Karen Callinger twirled; now she was a Chirstmas tree, now a ticket seller, now a pizza man -- a different guise with each spin. Mrs. Hur- ryup, played by Christy McDougall at last found her gifts ~ and had a lovely Christmas. party with her friends. A rhythm band of Christmas elves delighted the audience with Jingel Bells, then trimmed the tree with decorations they and other children had made at a craft workshop. A choir sang O Tan- nenbaum in four languages. Silent Night followed with a charming solo of Stille Nacht by Marie- Therése Graf. The outstanding all-female Marvelvoice Choir, made up of members of the Verhoeven- Wichers families, sang a delightful Christmas repertoire. The audience tuned into a hook-up between Control Tower C at the Marvelville International Airport and Santa en route from Russell village. Teenage thespians presented fast-moving, sparkling acts of dancing and singing and two short plays. "Heck Says It" revealed excellent acting and kept the packed Community Centre rocking in their seats. Randy Monner carefully grounded Santa in the carpark to the joy of all the youngsters, who received gifts of candy from his bulging sack. The excellent musical entertain- ment throughout the program was produced and directed by organists Kathy Wichers and Helen Verhoeven. From a small community with lots of spirit and goodwill, the Marvelville thes- pians gave their audience a Merry Christmas. Elwood Cochrane passes away ANNIVERSARY, 1978 pork and veal.
