7. The play chosen to be read was “Mr. Bolfrey” by James Bridie. With all respect
to Howard Smith who played a devil raised from Hell, it must be admitted that it
was excellently cast. Cyril Langford introduced the characters & read the stage
directions.
Austin Miller read Cully, the typical product of Public School and University, unable
to listen patiently & with no manners
Bruce Dilks read Cohen – sturdy, Hebraic and disconsolate. He appeared
conversant with barrack-room language, and provided the comic relief.
Alice Joselin read Jean, the bright young thing from London who rebelled against
the of her Uncle’s life and outlook.
Muriel Stevens read Morag with all the freshness & innocence of seventeen.
Frank Pollard as Mr. McCrimmon gave a most convincing portrait of a Scottish
Presbyterian Minister – handsome and serious, very strict[?] and narrow minded.
Faith Miller read Mrs. McCrimmon with a charming Scottish accent, kind Motherly
and completely impenetrable.
Howard Smith read Mr Bolfrey, the Devils advocate and his verbal duel with F. E.
Pollard was particularly entertaining.
The play raises a number of problems to which it offers no solution, but we were
left with the feeling that although Devils may talk and umbrellas may walk its
always a good thing to dunk up your tea while its hot, and Monday will always be
washing-day.
