replied on: 7/20/2005 12:38:28 PM SNOW WHITE "The stage shows at Heanor carnival are regarded as highlights of the week.They provide amateur entertainment of a really fine standard... they are a most acceptable form of revenue as they are practically unaffected by the weather.The productions staged by Mr and Mrs G. Pynegar in the past never lacked originality,but Snow White and the 7 Dwarves which opened at the Town Hall on Sat nightand which still has a long run before it surpasses previous achievements.Based on Walt Disney's cartoon film, but the scriot is entirely original and has been written by mrs Pynegar and Mr J.W.Holmes....Snow White might have been a part written for Miss Anna Land, so perfectly does she fit in appearance in acting and singing.Her duets with Mr Jim Holmes, who has the role of Prince, are a feature of the show. The Queen is played by Alf West, well known locally as a comedian, but a comparative newcomer to the company.The 7 Dwarves are Grumpy(Mr. A.E.Weekly), Doc(Jack Coulton), Bashful(George Tudor), Dopey (Roy Lesson),Sneezy(Will Bateman),Happy(Owen Buxton)and Sleepy(Ken Williamson).....Roy lesson also played the piano accordian in several numbers.The dancing scenes in which Mrs Pynegars pupils are introduced are full of grace and charm. Mrs Sylvia Pynegar A.O.D.,M.B.B.O. has the dutieds of principal dancer.Beryl Hobley had a lovely little solo number and Joan Booth dances delightfully. The popular "Lambeth Walk" finds a ready interpreter in Madge Bellamy, and Madge Bateman and Eileen Bellamy give the "Bluebirds". Hazel Simmons and Sylvia Pynegar have a well rendered duo and Kathleen Williamson, Margaret Phillips and Doreen Baker sing with great charm "Alice Blue Gown"Equally happy in rendering is "Basket of Flowers" by others of the tiny tots in Phillipa Brough and Joyce brown. The 2nd half opens with "Toy Town Parade" with Margaret Phillips as drummer, Kenneth France and Kathleen Williamson as the two sentries. Sylvia Pynegar has a solo and in company with Mavis Hobson, Hazel Simmons, and Jessie Sumner, she turns back the leaves of the calender to the "Naughty Ninties". Margaret Allen and the juniors perform "Curly Top" and Madge Bellamy and Madge Bateman indulge in acrobatic antics with amazing agility.An Irish number by Joan Booth.....a full orchestra under the direction of mr Thomas lee provides admirable accompniment. scenery was painted byAlbert Sharpe, Eric Tarlton,and Eric West...dresses made by mothers of the children taking part and Mrs Oxley.. Those taking part in many chorus numbers were Shirley Brough,Iris Turner, Margaret Allen,Audrey Wrigley,Beryl marshall. Joan Brougham,Margaret Williamson,Peggy Eyre,Sylvia Broughton,Joan Baldwin, Betty baldwin, Margaret Plumb, Eileen Brown,Nadin Henson,and John Moor. many of these totsare under school age but they took their parts with commendable confidence. Snow White has played to hundreds of people already and onTuesday evening it was necessary to turn scores of people away." I have found some of my family names amongst these! Coming next "Carnival Express" I |
