Many Planning to Attend
Guild's "Lo and Behold”
Ticket sales for the fun-filled
farce, “Lo and Behold” are
going well, according to Bar
bara Hamilton, ticket chairman.
Reserved section seats are be
ing sold locally at Kitty’s Kof
fee Mill, while general admis
sion tickets, at $1 each, may be
obtained from any member of
the cast, at Pippel’s Insurance
Agency, from Mrs. Hamilton, or
other members of the Valley
Theater Guild which is pre
senting the play.
Midge Melendy, director of
“Lo and Behold” say all mem
bers of the cast are working
hard on their parts and that
parts are ideally suited to each
member. Rehearsals will begin
n the stage at the Central gym
nasium this Saturday, at which
time sets will be assembled.
Anyone knowing the where
abouts of a marble bust, which
is urgently needed as a prop
in the play, is asked to contact
Mrs. Melendy or Jack Riley. It
is unlikely the bust will resem
ble Larry Kincaid who takes
the part of Milo Alcott, Pulitzer
prize winner in the play, but
any will be welcome, say the I
| cast.
Harry Evans, who plays the
romantic lead in “Lo and Be
hold”, portrays a young doctor
who is entrusted by Alcott to
contact his spirit after death
and to administer his estate.
The estate is endangered by
Daisy Durdle, played by Mur
iel Wattum. Daisy is an unedu
cated ex-model, sometimes
cook, and who in turn is threat
ened by Mai, the “investment
broker,” better known as a
bookie, who is played with gus
to by Gary Brown.
Everyone of the cast, direc
tors and visitors “have a ball”
at rehearsals, one of the cast
said this week. The lines are
so amusing and timely, and the
characters so sharply drawn,
that the play is proving to be
great entertainment for all.
