DON MESSER’S Jubilee is here.

Originally presented at the Nep-
tune Theatre in Halifax Don
Messer’s Jubilee subsequently took
a successful seven-month tour, in
which it played in nine out of the
ten provinces. Now it will be seen
in B.C.

Don Messer was one of
Canada’s most beloved enter-
tainers. Along with Charlie
Chamberlain, Rae Simmons, Marg
Osborne, Duke Nielson, The
Islanders and the Buchta Dancers,
his radio and television broadcasts
spanned four decades.

His talented fiddle playing and
his down-to-earth appearance gave
him a traditional and homey image
with which millions of Canadians
identified.

SONG AND DANCE

The show takes a musical look
at the last tour of this Canadian
entertainer and tells the story in
song and dance. The Don Messer
band is reborn as the fiddle bow
leaps and the skirts swirl to the
square-dance steps.
Frank MacKay, who will play
Charlie Chamberlain, was in the
Neptune Theatre production of the
show, as well as another John ‘
Gray musical Rock and Roll. j CE opener
