Chris Morrison gets into character as the vil¬ lain contemplates his next plan. “Gold in the Hills” Diana Jazwinski and George Schmelter por¬ tray the hero and heroine. On November 14, 15, and 16 the fall play, “Gold in the Hills ” was presented. This play also known as “The Dead Sister’s Secret”, included a hero, played by George Schmelter, and heroine, played by Diana Jazwinski, and a dastardly villain, played by Chris Morrison. The play also included live bowery entertainment by dance hall girls and bowery boys, and even a knock down, drag-out, action packed barroom fight. The audience participated in a sing-a-long, in addition to cheering on the hero, and hissing the villain. The cast, motivated and directed by Mrs. Debra Ciochina, gave a great performance, once again showing their growing professionalsim. The show broke the fall play attendance records, and for the first time a Sun¬ day performance was added. We give thanks to the director, Mrs. Debra Ciochina, the musical as¬ sistant, Mrs. Julie Lorig, the especial¬ ly wonderful cast, and all others who helped “Gold in the Hills” to be a giant success. Tom Gunning disguises himself as Sam Slade the villains trusted associate. 10 Gold in the Hills
