"Palms Up", the second presentation of the Litlle Theater Players, was well received by the small but enthusiastic Igloo and Edgemont audience last Friday night at the local theatre.
Reports from first-nighters gave favorable comments on the evening's presentation and indicated a successful portrayal of the parts by the entire cast. The cast was as follows:
Musical numbers between the acts with the high school swing band and the vocal duet - Carol Joslin and Delores Miller - were received with tremendous applause.
LeRoy Holst, play director, said, "The successful production of the show was as much due to the entire efforts of those painting the scenes as the members of the cast. Mrs. Clara Kennaley, stage manager, and her assistants, Jim Stransky, Dave Kennaley, Lyle Blare and Rudy Ladner," he said, "were to be commended for the entire efforts of preparing props and scenery and having them in readiness for the show."
Staff make-up was under the supervision of Mrs. Clara Kennaley, Lois Hagen and Ann Roberts. Mr. LaVerne Breen directed the popular candy sale between the first and second acts. Her assistants were Rev. Robert Rosenau, Ronald Backer, Frank Martinez, Charles Canfield and Woodrow Hipsher. Responsible for the prizes connected with the candy sale were Lois and Ronnie Hagen. Ushers were Ruth Cronk and Clare Ek.
