Clauson from ZB's
\WILLIAM CLAUSON, the American folk singer (above), will make his New Zealand début in a special performance for ZB Sunday Showcase on August 4, thereby introducing himself to one of the largest audiences in New Zealand. This pragramme, to be heard on August 4, will be built round the songs and travels of the visitor. Incidentally, on Saturday, August 3, Theatre of Music will play on the YAs, 3YZ and 4YZ, excerpts from Wild Grows the Heather, the musical adaptation of J. M. Barrie’s play and novel, The Little Minister. On the pre-London tour, William Clauson took the leading role of the Minister of Thrums, a part here sung by Bill O’Connor. The story is set in the little Scottish town of Thrums, in the reign of George IV, with a background of a revolt by the weavers against poor living conditions. Lord Rintoul, the. King’s representative, has sworn to arrest their ringleaders. His daughter, Lady Barbara (Valerie Miller), aids the weavers, disguised as a gipsy, and in doing so meets the Minister. To escape from the soldiers, she poses as the Minister’s wife, and he very quickly falls in love with the "gipsy." Lord Rintoul is against his daughter marrying a poor Minister, and the Elders of the Kirk are horrified at the thought of the Minister marrying a gipsy, but the Minister and his Babbie are finally united with the blessing of all. ek th etna
