Wells Desert Star parodies Hillbillies The extraordinary life and loves of Emmeline B. Wells will be portrayed Sixth Wife, show starting a Off Broadway the at Monday Theater. Starring Joan Oviatt and directed by James Arrington, the life of Wells, Sixth Wife goes beyond the accomplishments of Wells and delves into her thoughts and feelings, taken from her journal. As the Fifth President of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, Wells w,as an accomplished woman who By DEBBI OLSON Editor one-wom- an Perhaps the best part of the new Desert Star's offering of Hillbillies 90210 - or- - The Original Family Feud, is the Variety Show Olio the cast to does as a fun follow-u- p the main feature. A show producers hail as "Being back by popular demand" parodies the Beverly Hillbillies television series in today's world, complete with a Valley Girl, played by Kerstin Anderson and her "sufer dude" brother, played by Matt Kohler. Both attempt to imitate the Southern California stereo-type- s worse than the teenagers from 90210 could imagine. The story sets the Hollywood Rottenfellow family against the newly transplanted Clem family, featuring Jack Drayton, who plays a respectable Jeb Clam, and Mary Parker Williams as Granny, who is at her best, and the most fun to watch during the limited stage time she is given. The romance and repoire between Granny and Grandpa Rottenfellow, played by Desert Star mainstay and director Scott Holman saves this show w ith their comedic timing and expression and makes it worthwhile for those in the audience. The premise of the story starts out well, but led the fight for women's rights in the American West. She lobbied for Women's rights in Washington. Her example gave strength to women. "Her example is just as important today in the lives Saint of young Latter-da- y artists," Oviatt said. After years of research, Oviatt, fascinated by Well's life, wrote the show that shows the woman as being vulnerable and sensitive despite the strength she continually showed to others. "The play has affected my one-wom- an life dramatically," said Oviatt, who had to overcome years of illnesses that at one time left her in a wheelchair and prevented her from acting. Oviatt used the examples of Wells in her own life to overcome personal illnesses and set goals.

Rodeo queen pageant open to girls throughout Utah Cast members from Hillbillies 90210 currently playing at the Desert Star Theater through July 13 at 7 p.m. doesn't develop the character's interaction enough to credibly understand the contrived romances staged between the siblings of each family. The plot against the family might have been more fun if the Anderson and her father, played by Ben E. Millet didn't try so hard to remind the audience member that they are supposed to be the bad guys. Look for rewritten lyrics to the Beverly Hillbillies theme as one of the most entertaining segments of the show and then enjoy reliving a bygone era of the television variety show, from Carol Burnett's Question and Answer segment, given by Williams, a creative take off of Laugh-i- n and the sounds of 950's the male cast members harmodoing a five-pieny "Mercury" commercial that would have been popular during the Ed Sullivan era.
