The Cast

Miss Walker taxed her young players to the utmost and no doubt got the best from them.

The songs sprinkled liberally throughout, and the light, "folky" touch gave often an extravaganza—or at least, festive—air.

I doubt that an older man could have convinced so well as the witch boy as did John Norton.

Barbara, a Harold Bell Wright heroine in the midst of the Al Capp characters, showed unusual refinement for her environment, and was left to Oriole Whitlock.

Good casting was shown in the contrast of the two witch-girls, representing perhaps the moonlight and shadow of witch Dom and the duality of the black-magic world which carries over into our own.

Some of the "charactcrs" got the maximum from their lines:—Geoff Barlow us Uncle Smelicue; Elizabeth Gordon as Miss Metcalf; Bryan Snell grove as Floyd Allen, succeeding particularly well.

And perhaps best of all. Kevin Woodill as the hell-fire preacher, the Reverend Haggler, who could take his "com licker" with the best of me and still have wind left to exhort redemption.

It is possible that Dark Of The Moon will be presented to larger city audiences again later in the year.

The cast will therefore have time in which to perfect their lines, and Miss Walker will have on her hands something of a local triumph.
