By happy choice. PLT has moved its work from tbe local Junior College auditorium to the informal and inti: mate setting of Hillbarn theatre. Preopening notices from Director Robert Brauns hod promised some new faces for the show. From the quality nf the talent Brauns turned up, it's evident that the actors will not remain unfamiliar. "The Happy Time" itself, writ 1 4 i Samuel Tavlor from sto 1 ries bv Robert Fontaine of his boyhood in Ottawa in the twenties, is a pretty well known piece.

Its particular brand of comedy and sentiment has been played to advantage on Broadway, in the films and of late by a number of little theatre groups. The play is a pleasant blend of humor, subtle and broad, as well as of some serious thoughts on the problems of adolescence. Director Brauns' deEt touch with comedy is evident in the production, and for the most part the casting is sheer inspiration. As for the actors, it would be hard to overestimate Dewey Chambers' contribution to the comedy. A newcomer to the local scene, although not tu the stage, Chambers shows a professional aplomb in his portrayal of that gay dog who collects women's garters.

Uncle Desmond. Both he and his opposite number. Flora Henning. sen. manage the Gaelic lightness and accent demanded by their parts with consummate skill.
