All The Trappings
The streets are alive to the sound of music ... Florence Louden, who stars
as Maria in Bangor Operatic Society's production of "The Sound of Music,"
takes the "Von Trapp" family - which includes Susan Dalzell, Fiona Thompson,
Diane Petherick, Laine Radcliff, Andrew Soence, Lesley Hutchinson and
Christopher Spence, through a lively number at a Press Conference in the
Russell Court Hotel, Belfast. The society is staging the production in
Bangor this week and will compete in the Waterford International Festival of
light opera after an absence of three years.

1) The Journal, 4th March 1966 - Laura Carr, 'Bitter Sweet'
2) Cinema Damaged by Bomb Explosion - A bomb explosion damaged the foyer and
auditorium of the regal Cinema, Donaghadee, late on Saturday night, and
shattered windows in nearby houses. The bomb exploded half-an-hour after the
last show had ended. The manager, Mr. Robert Carr, had just arrived at his
home 100 yards from the cinema when the explosion occurred. Before leaving
the premises he had carried out his usual inspection. The explosion also
blew out two large windows at the front of the building. Mr. Carr said
yesterday that when he heard the explosion he went outside and saw dense
smoke coming from the cinema. Crowds were gathering. The bomb was apparently
placed at the back of the auditorium and detectives from Belfast
investigating the case, took away pieces of metal for analysis. An R.U.C.
spokesman said they did not regard the explosion as "anything political" It
seemed he said, to be the job of youngsters. It is understood that the
cinema will be open as usual tonight.
