26 YEARS AGO Show Recalls Drama of Yesteryear (See Related Photo in "Dark of the Moon," Theatre ISU's opening 1975-76 production slated tonight and Saturday, has brought back memories to several Pocatellans. They were members of the cast of the same show on the same stage (Frazier Hai'n a little more than a quarter of a century ago. Dr. Allen Blomquist, director of Theatre 1SU. was the first to recall the production of 1949 a i a a a now Mrs.

Beers, played the leading feminine role of Barbara Allen, he said. He neglected to mention that he also had one of the featured roles (Marvin Hutchings.) Mrs. Beers remembered that Bill Ryan, now assistant professor of journalism at ISU, also was in the cast. He was cast in a minor role of Mr. Atkins.

The 1949 show played for two nights only (Nov. 4-5) while the 1975 production is being given for four nights. The 1949 director was Dr. Vio Mae Powell, now residing in Los Gatos, Calif. ISU faculty members, Wesley Harris, Donna Hogge and Don Asboe were in charge of choral direction, choreography and lights respectively.

Harold Mealy, now retired from ISU, worked on special music and the late Mel Schubert was technical director. A check of the Idaho State Journal files of 1949 brought forth a review of the show by Dr. Leedice Kissane. now retired from ISU. Headlined "ISU Drama Delights Two Audiences," the review pointed out a audiences were delighted by the "refreshing novelty of the play itself and by the amazing facility with which the young actors handled a vehicle in which magic played so iarge a part." Mrs.

Kissane, said Mrs. Beers' "lovely voice was a perfect choice" for the Barbara Allen role and Blomquist made a "lusty villain." She also mentioned the portrayal of Preacher Hagler by Stanley "DARK OF THE MOON" IN 1949-Twenty-six years ago the Frazier Hall stage was the setting for the same show being presented this weekend, "Dark of the Moon." Cast members in 1949 included Dr. Allen Blomquisl, now director of Theatre ISU; Marianna Hahl Beers, Pocatello; and Ferrel Lusk, who is residing in California. Dr. Blomquist played Marvin Hutchings; was Barbara Allen; and Lusk was cast as John, the Witch Boy.

Arnett, now a Blackfoot drug store owner. "Seldom has a local actor been so superbly cast as Arnell," she wrote. Ryan still has the 1949 playbill and came up with names of other cast members who will be remembered here The Journal's Montpelier correspondent, Pal Wilde, Keith Gill, now a California lawyer, the late Laurie Bogert and the late Ha! Foss were among those in the production at that time. Looking back to 1949, Mrs. Beers remembered that the cast members playing mountain people wore' their own clothes as costumes just as some are doing in the 1975 show.

The scenery was "half suggestive--not really complete," she continued, and the witches wore black chiffon costumes. Mrs. Beers said she has been informed that the script being given this weekend has been rewritten several times since 1S49. She still remembers a letter in "Buzz of the Burg" from a woman who did not like the witchery and a scono in which Barbara Allen gives birth to a witch child. "The cast mem.bers were very upset by the letter," Mrs, Beers recalled, "but Doc Powell told us there were many people who liked the show," MICROWAVE DEMONSTRATION Chad's has scheduled Joyce Nielsen to be in our Pocatello Store this Saturday and every Saturday from 2 P.M.
