The Players were very successful as they had the entire audience participating by clapping and stamping with songs in the fairy tale, and continually answered the gruesome gnome with his questions . The evening performance had a smaller audience of 140 people treated to a compassionate view of the life of a B.C. miner through his summer work in a "fly-by-night" mine. The play, written by John Kelly, was called "The Ballad of Willy Wall." Both plays were extremely good. Be sure to take || advantage of the Touring Players if the Lake Superior || School Board, Separate School Board and the : Recreation Department have the opportunity of sponsor, -- ing this group again in the future. The reason rock 'n' roll singers are so young is that if they were any older, they'd be embarrassed.
