Melodrama Was a Big Hit The fall production of Rend Lake College ' s drama department was presented at the Folk Festival in DiiQuoin, Oct. 8,9,10 and at Wayne City Higli School Jan. 26. In the story Constant Hope (Carol Dilley) is bothered by a troublesome past- one which she cannot remember! She refuses to marry our hero Manly Rash (Phil Talbert) until the question of her past is settled. Enter into the picture the villainous Bertram Oleander (Marlon Nettleton) who takes advan- tage of the heroine in an effort to gain the fortune of the elderly Gray- stones (Roger Barley and Kristie Martin). The flirtatious maid. Fowler (Jill Guyton), added to the comic affair. Old fashioned musical accompani- ment was provided by Mark Gifford and Rhonda Baker. How his voice thrills me, says Cons- tant as she looks into Manly ' s eyes. Bertram Oleander sweeps the maid off of her feet with his villainous charm.
