' Funny Girl ' attracts record audiences SHAVE - -HAIRCUT 10 fl After Fanny ' s first Ziegfeld success, Tom Keeney (Mark Hennessee) ex¬ plains to Emma (Cookie Credille) how he originally fired Fanny. The Lake Central Theatre Guild closed their eighth season with the highly successful spring musical Funny Girl under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lowe. Holding the lead role as Fanny Brice, Senior Becky Lan¬ caster headed one of the largest casts that had ever been involved in an LCTG production . The play was centered around a Ziegfeld Follies star, Fanny Brice, and her rise to stardom and happiness. The story of her hilarious mishaps , downfalls, and incorrigable encounter with love was accen¬ tuated by the unrelenting courage and strength that drove her on after each setback. Each night, a full house of anticipating spectators ap¬ plauded the successful efforts of the outstanding cast, while mixed laughter and tears complimented the actors and said more than any words could convey. Fanny ' s plans to leave the show and follow ' her new found love to New York are met with disapproval and disgust. Interested co-workers listen intently to settle their aroused curiosity of Fanny ' s marriage to Nick Arnstein and life as a married lady. 28
