Guild Play Has Unusual Twist
No ordinary “who dunnit” is
the latest Valley Theatre Guild
production, “Speaking of Mur
der,” which will be presented
tomorrow and Saturday, March
1 and 2, in Central school audi
torium at 8 p.nv
Here is an exciting mystery
based on character study and
mmk -m dm m
ingenuity rather than a series
of clues and guessing games,
according to Harry Evans, di
rector. In the center of this
web of intrigue is an attractive
spider, Annabelle, played by
Midge Melendy, who manipu
lates people and situations to
suit her master plan to keep
_
feminine control of the house
hold and win the love of her
employer, a wealthy architect,
Charles Ashton.
Ashton, played by Don Van
Brunt, is a widower with two
children who has just taken a
second wife, Connie, a beauti
ful young actress. Carol Arn
old plays the role of the in
genuous Connie, who is un
aware of Annabelle’s plot to get
rid of her.
Mrs. Walworth, Annabelle’s
alcoholic friend who knows of
her plans, keeps herself in li
quor by blackmailing the vil
lainess. This role is played by
Gladys Hayes.
Ricky Ashton, 12-year old
son of Charles Ashton, played
by Patrick Riley, is the victim
of an unhappy series of inci
dents which make it appear
that he dislikes Connie enough
to harm her. Janey (Kathy Kin
caid), his nine-year old sister,
is a sweet little girl who gives
no one trouble and w'ho brigh
tens up the stage.
The climax of the play comes
when Connie disappears and
the detective (Gary Brown) ar
rives to deduce her where
abouts.
Stage helpers are Rose Evans,
assistant director; Dean Bron
son, stage manager; Bonita
Strom and Ruth Giles, makeup;
Thelma Riley, publicity; and
Barbara Hamilton, tickets. Fur
niture for the sets has been
lent to the Guild by the Valley
Peoples Store.
The William and Audrey Roos
play is being presented through
arrangement with Samuel
French and Company.
WOTM ENROLL,
PLAN DANCE
Two new candidates, Mar
jorie Rutz and Barbara Crow
thers, were enrolled at the Feb.
5 meeting of the Women of the
Moose. Both are sponsored by
Mary Combs.
The group plans a Hobo
Dance for March 30 at the
Moose hall, with proceeds to go
to the Matanuska Valley chap
ter of the Crippled Children’s
Association. Funds earned will
help to keep a speech and hear
ing therapist in the valley.
A door prize will be award
ed, also a prize for the best
hobo costume. Lunches will be
served throughout the evening
by the WOTM. Donation for the
affair will be $1.
The Moose organization is
sponsoring Bingo games every
Wednesday evening at the
lodge hall, with cash prizes and
a jackpot game. Refreshments
are served by WOTM during
intermission. These games are
open to the public.
Favorable ballots were cast
at the Feb. 19 meeting for Vir
ginia Feagin, Angela Petrus,
Mary Perdew, Helen New
berry, Opal Carelli, Carolyn
Puritan, Martha Eckard, Ar
lene Brown, and Dorothy Hud
son.
The next meeting will be
held at the Moose home on
March 5.
HARRY EVANS, director, seated at right,
helps Gladys Hayes, left, (Mrs. Walworth),
Midge Melendy (Annabelle), and Carol
Arnold (Connie) map out a scene in the
unusual Theatre Guild production, "Speak
ing of Murder."
CHARMING LITTLE KATHY KINCAID, who plays the part
of Janey, poses with her stage father, Charles Ashton
(Don Van Brunt).
CHARLES ASHTON, played by Don Van Brunt, enacts a tense
moment with his son, Ricky (Patrick Riley), who is being
framed for murder by a vicious woman.
