Sharp Wit of Wilde Brightens Holiday Stage The sprightly lines of Oscar Wilde take the spotlight at Holiday Stage this week with the Tustin strawhatters presenting his "The Importance of Being Earnest." Shining in the role of the woman-wise Algernon is Oliver Cliff who fits the part perfectly. His stage poise and timing are as per usual unsurpassed. Trescott Ripley, fresh from her brilliant success in "The Helress" turns in a creditable performance as the straight-laced Gwendoline who tries desperately to become unlaced. Tustin's first lady, Mary Finney, turns in her usual capable performance. This week she gives Wilde's Lady Bracknell the treatment intended, playing the character to the hilt. But even with excellent performances by the cast, it's still Group Meets At Nerdrum Home Combining business with pureure, members of the Mission Aid society of the Grace Lutheran church met last Thursday at noon at the home of Mrs. Merdum, 724 North Sabina st.

Next week the premiere "Broomstick," Broadway - airs The sharp humor and philosophy of Wilde that steal the show. All too often the presence of an author is not in evidence—but never when it's the work of Wilde. The Wilde-style of ridiculing the English artistocracy has never been unraveled. Unfortunately Peter Adams curs an otherwise good performance of the wife-seeking John with occasional attempts at assuming an English accent. He drops his tendency when the action ups up which fortunately is even. Too little praise can not be bewed upon the versatile John Winnie, who week in and week out, demonstrates his competence as actor. Whether he has the lead in a minor part of a butler, as this week, his presence on the stage is always very much in evidence. Others in the cast turning inoman performances are Glenn Wells, Bennie May, June Lewis and Connie Wells. —BOB FUNSETH Toastmasters in Regular Meeting Meeting for a regular session, members of Toastmasters club and their meeting Monday evening at La Palma Grill with the resident, Vic Huber, presiding.
