The cast members of an almost-forgotte- n road show received a Broadway applause. It didnt matter that dines were forgotten or scripts Jwere held in hands. Cast members of the North lOgdcn LDS 2nd Ward Jacobs Dream performed one last time Ion Friday, May 29, in the church Jthat would be demolished within ithe week. More than half were in I the original drama presented in 'the competition in Salt I Lake City in 1968. Time had ; worn them out like the hardwood I floor. They squeaked a bit, like the folding chairs. Yet their enthusiasm had not diminished. ! Before the show, about 30 cast dnembers met in the basement to Iput on makeup, rehearse lines Jand calm butterflies. More than 500 people listened to musical plumbers upstairs in the gymnasium that has seen its Ishare of weddings, basketball 'games, church dinners and Imectings for almost a half a 'century. The building, which was Idedicated in 1951, is slated to be Jtom down this week, said Bishop .David Checketts. It was more of Jan Irish wake than a LDS church meeting. Refreshments were Jscrvcd, jokes were told. But the performance that the majority of the audience came to see was the road show. ' Debbie Olsen, who lives in Syracuse, said when she heard the building was going to be tom down she wanted to do f something special. She and I several of the North Ogden LDS - 2nd Ward members ' d and decided to resurrect the old show. Olsen, . who is an original cast member, ; and Lois Haws of North Ogden r were in charge of finding former ; cast members. Margene Taylor i had to rewrite the musical score r because Muriel Shupe, who wrote it originally, had died. ? Tinding cast members was easier than rewriting the music, i Haws said. Olsen, whose father still lives in the area, called I neighbors looking for cast members. Sheila Petersen t traveled Bom Riverton to be in the road show. She is an original -- "note." The story line of the JT "show centered around a music professor who had to write a composition by morning. During J the night he had a dream and the i notes talked to him. Lee Daniels played Professor j I lenry Jacobs 30 years ago and j on this night. The difference was i this time he was able to rely on J the script instead of his memory. Flora John, w ho is 74 now, is t also an original cast member. She played the part of Pansy both t times. It was funner now because we could ham it up and it didnt have to be perfect, she said. 11:45 a.m. The blood pressure clinic 16 from 10 to 1 1:30 a.m.' All seniors and care givers are invited to the health fair on June 17 from 10 a.m. to - te at 1 " Pinochle is played each Tuesday and Thursday after ROADSHOW Lois Haws (above), coordinator of the road show at the North Ogden LDS 2nd ANNIVERSARY: Ward, watches the show from backstage. Haws follows the act from her own script and is ready to help out any performers who forget a line. At left, the performance brought in a full house. Standard txamnef She, along with Merva Ward, entered the stage first It seemed as if the Rhodes Rolls radio commercials had come to life. If he wins, well never hear the last of it. Prunella will broadcast it all over town, John said to Ward as they read the newspaper in front of the audience. When Daniels had his dream the notes came out to play. All seven notes were played by original cast members. But the cast members had to come up with new costumes. Weve outgrown the original ones," Olsen said. Bonnie Brueckner played the part of a Scottish dancer. 1 ler mother had saved the skirts she and her friends wore in the road show so many years ago. But she and Vickie Warren couldnt get into them. Instead they had to skirts on pin the small child-siz- e the front of their denim skirts and wear them as aprons. After four kids, were not that little anymore, Brueckner . said. The four Thurber sisters got the opportunity to dance together. When the show was first produced only the two older sisters, Locne Thurber Hill and Annette Thurber Bryner, danced. I was just a baby," Bonnie Thurber said. Linnea Thurber remembers the road show barely. She wasnt quite old enough to be in the original show. The Thurber sisters found their Oriental costumes through friends. The original costumes did not exist anymore or were too small. Bryner said when she heard about the road show she went down memory path and found in herTreasure of Truth book a newspaper article about it from the Standard-Examine- r. Really? That is so Hill. neat, said Hill said she remembers selling a lot of World Famous chocolate bars to pay for her hotel room in Salt Lake City. Four out of five of the Russian dancers showed up to perform. Due to age, they chose to sit and tap their feet instead of jumping amazes me the growth in :yt I decorating products in the - j''i JLnation in the last few years, It seems that homeowners have gotten on the bandwagon for decorating their homes like t never before, i i i easy to decorate with. They match up to more bedspreads and sofas than any other ready-mad- e paint other than white. They brighten up a home with just enough color to lift the spirit, but not overload the decorating scheme. No wonder stores want to carry them. Murals Murals have been around for a long time. There are so many dilfcrent kinds these days that a trip to the wallpaper store would be the best to gel all the choices. They are a creative viewpoint in a room and as easy as wallpaper to put up. ft rj They are a big seller because they are easy to live with and Murals have been around for hundreds of years, just not the paper kind. During the Renaissance, painters would paint scenes on the walls to create an indoor garden, fake columns, or a fake window or door halfway open. Today bookcases, greenhouses and city skylines are some of the choices available. A whole room can be centered around it or enhance a room like a map that rovers the entire wall. Special order murals that arc similar to old painted ones can be ordered from the back of dec- orating magazines. Doors leading into a garden or a window looking out onto a garden are some to think about. They look so real; a closer look is needed to determine the illusion. Wallpaper borders are com- ing out now so photographic they are similar to murals. They are w ider than most borders and depict things like hunting scenes, old English gardens or vegetables. They usually have wallpa per to coordinate with and bring such life into a room. If the mural is the main focus in the room, than what is the rest of the room to look like? It would depend on the mural. If it is a doorway half open to a garden or a greenhouse mural, a room furnished with light colors and furniture would help the feeling in the room stay to the garden theme. If bookcases are used, they can be decorated around as if they were actually there. A city skyline might be the reason to decorate with patio furniture or ultra modem furniture. There is no escaping the feeling in the room with a mural. It is a bold statement that demands attention and will get many comments from all that enter. They add the pizzazz to decorating. It's like creating our own world and being able to enter it anytime we choose. lunch. Pool and rummy are available daily. Line dancing is every Wednesday and Friday.
