PYGMALION WAS GREAT OCCASION FIRST-NIGHTERS at Greenford Grammar Schools Pygmalion on Wednesday week were rewarded for their impetuosity by a performance which three more nights could scarcely better. Forty or more rehearsals by a cast of 18 co-eds since the term began in September, and backstage and front-of-house preparations involving a third of the school, done George Bernard Shaw proud as Eliza might have said, Eliza on this great occasion being brilliantly brought to life by Jill Brearley. Her father in the play, dustman Doolittle, otherwise Christopher Ley, and housekeeper Mrs. Pearce, otherwise Sheila Workman, were played almost as well and truly. Graham Charnock as Professor Higgins and Edward Leeson as Colonel Pickering were as excellent in their parts as boys can be, and that is something less than the acting ability with which girls seem to be born, as was demonstrated by Suzanne Smith (Mrs. Higgins), Jacqueline Jones (Mrs. Eynsford-Hill), and Elaine Baddeley (Miss Eynsford-Hill), in their somewhat smaller roles. Top marks, of course, must go to masters at the schcool Mr. K. J. Jardine and Mr. J. Alderman, producers, and their assistant Jennifer Peverall. Outstanding was the scenery, designed by Miss P. Newton and painted by her and senior girls, who left construction in the hands of Mr. C. W. Sutcliffe and senior boys.
