Canadian Players Will Be At Manchester Soon The Canadian Players, who will appear 20 January In the Manchester College Auditorium, North Manchester, is the first company to travel North America showing audiences the unmatched vitality of contemporary Canadian theatre. The cast of players is drawn from the Stratford Festival Company. Performances at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival of Canada began in the tiny town of Stratford, Ontario in the summer of 1953. Conceived to preserve the very best of the Shakespearean classical tradition, and playing in the settings for which he wrote his plays, this theatre has received wide acclaim which may be summed ud in the words of one critic as "The most exciting series of Shakespearean productions we have had in North America in modem times." Each October from this world renowned centre of drama at Stratford. Ontario, the Canadian. Players, formed by Tom Patterson and Douglas Campbell, take their and unique productions to the people of Canada and the United States. They will appear in the Manchester Coll ege Auditorium, North Manchester; Monday eventag. 20th January at 8:15 c.s.t.. playing in George Bernard Shaw's “Man and Superman.” f' ■ : the first good ice. These moonlight nights add to the fun. And the sport of ice-fishing has begun. If cold weather continues lakes will be dotted with fisher men and at night the i make it look like new town have taken over the ice-covered areas, s Police Chief Frank A. Mueller of Indianapolis has warned citIxens of that city to hold on to their 1957 car plates until 1 Mar. to avoid having holdup men and law violators pick up old plate? from ash cans and use them on their cars. Some rightful owners there have had to prove their innocence at headquarters. Somehow the town seems to settled down to a winter lull following the hustle and bustle of holiday activities. All of the college folks have returned to school, the service men are back at their camps, school here keeps the young folks busy, and everyone is going fishin’. Hold your hats on, tho, with the tourney crowds coming to town this week end. our winter calm may turn into a Hoosier bedlam as basketball takes over for two days. We’ll miss friendly Willodear Traster when she leaves her : o’ in the dime store to become a Valentine Bride, but we wish he every happiness.
