Officer O’Toole, portrayed by Mike Davenport, introduced the talent, which har- monized with the theme. A humorous performance was given by rejected lover A. J. Sligh and his sweetheart Daisy, depicted by Sandy Emerson. The lovesick Bachelors Four sang of their heartbreaking experiences, begging their lost loves to return. All the residents of Pleasantville joined in a grand finale to conclude an exceptional produc- tion. 22 As Officer O’Toole, Mike Davenport sings a rousing welcome.
