get a good nights night's sleep or at least I hope you can The only only drawback is that we often slip out of the covers when we see It starting to get light and that monumental time will occur Sunday mornIng morning morn morn- morning ing one hour earlier See you In church on time Overheard at a party They make a perfect couple Hes He's a pill and she's a head head- ache It seems as though the Mormon Mormon Mormon Mor Mor- mon Miracle pageant is mushrooming mushrooming mushrooming mush mush- rooming to such proportions that it is now the topic of discussion discussion dis dis- year around In fact I am now dreaming about the annual event In living livIng living liv liv- ing color about once a week The other night I revolutionized revolution revolution- the whole concept of the Miracle not the script that's perfect but the dates of performance In my dream I decided that once a year wasn't enough so I had the performers inaction Inaction in inaction action at six month Intervals The January presentation had some Interesting ideas behind It The stake didn't have to haul in chairs they just took tooka a small tractor with a blade and made benches out of the snow which later froze and we had seating for persons persons persons per per- sons per night We had to make slight alterations al alterations alterations al- al for the performance Director Macksene flux Rux felt that the wicked and Samuel the should recreate their scene on the side of the mountain near where the M is located on the mountain This change required the cast to trod up the mountain side several hours earlier than us us- us ual The characters were equipped equipped equipped equip equip- ped with a walkie talkie to keep informed on the latest In my dream the only words I can remember is hearIng hearing hear hear- ing tog a voice blast over the speaker speak speak- er for us to kill our flashlight the audience could see us At that time we were bucking a blizzard near the M on the east mountain In the dream I saw a asell sellout sellout sell out crowd packed on the hill bill Au Automobiles posed no problem problem problem lem because everyone made the journey in sleds pulled by teams of dogs A few of the more plush patrons came on snow mobiles The performance was just about to start The customers had settled down in their ice chairs the ushers had quit throwing snowballs to keep warm and the blizzard had slowed down a bit Just as the curtain was about to go up on the action the fire siren began to wall and all aU the dogs tied to the sleds began to wail wall in a chorus and I woke up to hear the siren truly howling and the local canine corps singIng singIng singing sing- sing Ing their morning tune Junior brought home a note from school They wanted a written excuse for his pres pres- ence Speaking of the Mormon Miracle Miracle Mir Mir- acle acie we received a letter this week from Mrs Macksene Rux director of the pageant She was in Chapel Hill HIlI North Carolina Carolina Car Car- Carolina olina when she penned the note not attending the National Institute of Drama She said that she was having havinga a ball She noted that she had the group in awe of her because the head of the institute had been giving speeches in their different areas to the effect that we pulled more audience than all the rest In the country put put together She noted that she had no Idea there were as many outdoor outdoor outdoor out out- door dramas in the US U.S. s during the summer as there are She told us that she felt a little bit like Scarlet OHara O'Hara when she had dinner at the farm of a Pulitzer Prize winner Sounds like Macksene is busy preparing for the pageant while I am dreaming about the annual event Fashion experts say the trend mini will continue but it looks as though the end Is in sight To make a long story short there is nothing like having the boss walk In |
