I The main characters-and we do mean characters -of this old-fashioned variety show-marched on stage for their premiere performance back in Se-ptember, l94O. This first act was a real Frankenstein horror skit, with little Dave Beato, Rachel Cooley, Sally Davis, Arlene Hanzely, Freddie Harbath, Kenny Kauffman, Billy Kohler, Tommy Miche-lich, Eric Moeller, Roger Richards, Dorothy Siferdin, Pat Stanich, Lenny Thomsen, and Bobby Wise starring as the little monsters who terrorized Miss Davis. The next feature brought Allan Pohlman, Dick Runser, and Shirley Ruddy before the footlights. Roger Richards, however, stole the show by singing l'm a Lonely Little Pe- tunia in an Onion Patch amid strains of lovely operetta music. The third act was a style show, featuring Gail Friedrich and Dorothy Wentling as the mode-ls in their first appearance on the Westlake stage. When the group reached the fourth grade-whoops--we mean act -the child stars changed from their horror costumes, etc., and appeared on stage, joined by Gary Greive, Dolores and Dorothy Harvey, and Juanita McDaniel, in dancing costumes. In the act, and continuing through the fifth, these dancers moved from corner to corner of the stage in an interpretive dance symbolizing the moving of school children from room to room. ln the sixth act, Caroline and Miriam Hessenthaler appeared on stage to join the cheering section in the Army-Navy game. The seventh act was a military skit depicting a group of sailors on leave. New en- listees Lois Fischer, Jim Garrity, and Shirley Ruddy fwho had left in the sixth act and had just returned? along with the rest of the company, expected many leaves and liberties, until Mr. Scott changed their plans. The solo appearance of Donna Rempher, who hadn't been on stage before this, was the feature of the eighth act, and this troupe was joined in the 9th selection by the quintet of Bernice Biltz, Pat Humpal, Arline Klaameyer, Adeline- Krone, and Harvey Wentling. The next scene-the tenth grade-the little monsters who had developed into crea- tures occasionally resembling ladies and gentlemen presented a colorful dance entitled Festival of Spring. Working with the other stars was a newcomer, Doris DeSimoni. lt was in this new scene, too, that the bright new sweaters of green and gold emerged. In the next act, Norman Boardman, Clara Diesler, Aggie Hart, and Dee Polansky joined the company on stage, first in costumes suggesting hard work, and later in formal attire suggesting dreamy, romantic dancetime. The grand finale, including Lloyd Hoag as a newcomer, saw forty-two great stars lined up across the stage. Curtain call after curtain call, and twe-Ive years of successful running on the Westlake stage have brought the show to a conclusion. Now the producers are putting the show on the road to bring the great entertainment to the rest of the world! SEVeDfE9n
