Brian Brennan on Jamie Portman

[Edward Mullaly]

Then too, the ACTS site includes an index citing hundreds of Portman's
newspaper reviews from 1959 to 1987 at
http://www.lib.unb.ca/Texts/Theatre/Bib/newspaper_index.php?command=getMore&
show=critic&term=Portman,%20Jamie 

Unfortunately, these are citations and not the actual articles.......

Other recent upgrades:

-  Patrick O'Neill's Halifax newspaper data base now extends to 1930 and, in
most cases, includes the article itself.

-  The Ball & Plant bibliography online extends up to 2006.

Hope you're all enjoying the same unbelievable fall that has settled over
the maritimes.

I'm really sorry for you all.
But it's an unjust world,
And virtue is triumphant
Only in theatrical performances
