WHEN THE curtain goes up, the arm goes down and Oliver! comes alive with music. HELPING TIM Douglas to portray the morbid Mr. Sowerbury is Sharry Barnett, who was in charge of make-up. Consider yourself one of the family. . . In this year's musical, put on by one of the largest casts in Arlingtonis history, all of us involved felt like one big happy family. Going through the worry and suspense of try-outs together gave us all something in common. After the long hours of rehearsing and watching the show develop, each of us felt that he had played a special part in making the show a success. Through his sentimental speeches, Gerald Chaney fFaginj coaxed even the audience into feeling like a part of the show. SPOT! STAGE right! Bring the lights up! As Doug Luke and Ted Kegeris listen for instructions, light adjustments are made. ENCORE! ENCORE! Gerald Chaney CFaginJ leads the cast in curtain calls.

MOLLY SI KS, OLIVER' STEALS SHOW Oliver! is the story of a young orphan who, after being sold by a workhouse owner, fell into the hands of Fagin and his gang of thieves. Following the example of the Artful Dodger, Oliver set off on his first pickpoc- keting mission-only to be caught. The vic- tim, Mr. Brownlow, turned out to be Oliver's great uncle. With the help of Nancy, the two were reunited. Throughout the story lurked Nancy's love, the evil Bill Sikes. Sikes wasn't the only menacing figure in this year's musical. It seemed that some other villain didn't want us to give a show this year. The first musical we had planned to put on, the Unsinkable Molly Brown was cancelled because Oliver! was a less costly production and our cast was better suited to it. Reactions to this sudden change ranged from relief to disbelief. After things cooled down, most agreed that the change was for the better and work was begun on Oliverl', LOVE IS the answer for Brad Schildknecht COli- verl, who is reassured by Shelly Williams CMrs. Bedwinl that he is truly loved in his new home. The threat to the show didn't stop there. It was later announced that because of the lack of heating the Saturday night show might be cancelled. The old cliche the show must go on must have reached some- one for heat was provided and the Saturday night show went on. Unique to this year's production was the fact that donations which were given bought tickets for orphans so they could come to the show. Because of many generous spon- sors, about 200 orphans from all over the city were able to see Oliver! All in all the show was a great success, boasting acting talent and beautiful voices! The cast was rewarded for their hard work with a full auditorium and a standing ova- tion both nights. I'D DO anything sings Russ Levitt as Carolyn Cal- vert and Fagin's gang of thieves look on. A GOLD watch is proof that Oliver is Mr. Brown- low's fMark Williamsl grandson. Mr. Bumble Uames Meyerj tries to convince him of this.
