 I have a feeling we're not alone, whitpert Sally Strychnewitx to Anthony Marcantuono. OUR OPERATIC SPECTACULAR 22 Janet Cavanett. Oreleen Orr, and Ronald Seely are relating Down in the Valley . The presentation lost sprinq of Down in the Valley was an entirely different production for Channel 25. A folk operetta which has a single plot depends on its cast and directors to make it a genuine success. So it was with Down in the Valley. The staging, vocal and instrumental direction were excellently done. The scenery was of modern design and. together with the lighting, formed beautiful backgrounds for the music. Oh, it I had th wingt of an angel, wailt Anthony Marcantuono. The plot of the operetta is quite simple. Brack Weaver, condemned to die, escapes from prison to see his love, Jennie Parsons. When he does speak with her. they relive with their memories the time they first met at Prayer Meeting and Brack took Jennie home. He asks her to the Shadow Creek dance on Saturday night, but her father forbids it. because he wants her to go with Thomas Bouche to whom he is in debt. At the dance Bouche gets drunk and picks a fight with Brack. Bouche is killed by Brack in the struggle. After this vision of the past. Brack is recaptured and put back into jail and so the story ends in tragedy. Throughout the presentation thero were times when one was inclined to laugh in glee, or to sing right out and still other times, when, if it weren’t that we were wellbred. we would have been dancing in the aisles. The charming solos, the first scene and the Prayer Meeting—the singing, shouting and clapping entranced us. It was. all in all a truly worth-while evening that wo spent with the cast of Down in the Valley.' ’Funny, but it teemed to have a different tone quality when I heard it in Carnegie Hall, mutfert Mr. Petile.
