A crackling microphone con- tinuously spewed static whenever Mr. Kneebone and Miss Christie sang together- an annoying occurrence which detracted from the livelier songs. Technicians failed to lick the problem during inter- mission and the noisy crack- ling stayed with the singers throughout the performance. The effectiveness of the re- vue suffered from the great distance between singer and audience in the Humanities Theatre.

Additional choreography be- tween songs would have giv- en the revue more continuity The lack of choreography may have been due to an in- jured leg which was bother- ing Mr. Kneebone. During a pre-concert rehearsal, he relied quite heavily on a cane to support himself and walk- ed with a pronounced limp. His left leg was badly broken in a car accident last November when the com- pany was on tour in New- foundland. His injury forced cancellation of the original University of Waterloo per- formance which was slated for last December. Although they are no longer on tour with A Salute to Cow- ard and Porter, Miss Christie and Mr. Kneebone decided to reschedule cancelled per- formances at Hamilton Placeand University of Wa- terloo because they are now both working in this area. Mr. Kneebone started re- hearsals two weeks ago at the Stratford Festival Thea- tre for roles in Shaw's St. Joan, Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and Bertholt Brecht's Trumpets and Drums.
