The folks who went to watch
the Heppner High School
Drama Club presentation of
George Batson's "Gift of
Murder" were satisfied with
the good work done by the cast
and the crew, but many were
disappointed in the play itself.
The action took place in the
living room of a cottage in
North England which was
rented by Stella, an actress
who had been busy and popu
lar in years past, but who was
presently much in need of a
good role.
Joanna Bown, who portra
yed Stella, is an AFS student
from South Africa. She was on
stage most of the time and had
many lines well memorized,
which she spoke with feeling.
The action began on Stella's
birthday.
Dennis Mordaunt, a produ
cer whom she had been
friendly with and had worked
with in the past, came to visit,
to present a birthday gift and
to talk with her about a play in
which he might cast her. Ken
Curtis creditably carried this
big role, which kept him on
stage in almost every act and
scene.
Another major part was
played by Mardel James, who
portrayed a one-time actress
ling earlier years spent dur
ing her free time at repertory
theaters and now fondly re
called the plays and the play
ers. Mardel's voice carried
better than the voices of most
of the other cast members.
Vicki Adams as Mary and
Danny Fortenherry as Peter
provided the youthful, roman
tic interest. She is Stella's
niece and he is Oliver keane's
nephew. They made their
roles believable. Mel Seitz.
played Wimpie. Stella's maid
and cook, and injected some
humor through her part
Annette Wilfiers was Flavia,
a second glamorous actress
hoping for a role in the play
contemplated by producer
Mnrdnunt to whom she is
unhappily married. She and
Stella are jealous of one ano
ther and enjoy making need
ling and snide remarks about
one another.
Glenn Smith, is Oliver
Keane. a one-time leading
man. whose sudden murder
provides the thrill and mys
terv of the play. His rather
brief appearance was well
done.
Viewers had probably hoped
for more comedy and more
thrills. Quite a few thought
that the rather constant use of
liquor and the repeated smok
inc hv the youthful cast was
not appropriate in a school
plav which was being seen by
unsophisticated family
eroups. Although the plav
wricht's lines may have leen
quite amusing, they brought
few lauchs from the audience
which had trouble hearing
many of them.
Those who worked wilh Dir
ector Uutv Cerullo included
I,oran Hayes at the lights;
Kevin Hughes with sound;
Mary Ann Cerullo with make
up. The set design and its
execution was by Glenn
Smith. Wes Marlalt, Mardel
James, Thorn James, Ken
Curtis, Vicki Adams, Mary
Ann Cerullo and Mrs. Jane
Rawlins. Cnrllena Rathbun
and Mary Ann Cerullo served
as prompters.
Glenn Smith and Thorn
James were the slage mana
gers and Carllena Rathbun
was In charge of publicity for
the production.
