On The Aisle Misadventures Of Fair Lily -'All So Bad It Is Good' By David Hale The Fresno State College Summer Academy of the Performing Arts brought back oldfashioned melodrama last night and rootie tootie! The relic of the Gay Nineties had at least one aspect as modern as a "happening." One pleasing characteristic of the "happening" is that it often adds a wanted note of spontaneity to the show by inviting the audience to participate. Well, in "Lily the Felon's Daughter" the crowd encouraged by the program to boo, cheer, hiss or applaud as the occasion seemed to demand was a goodnatured counterpoint to the mock tragedy unfolding on stage. Evsn the refreshment vendors got into the act.

The goings-on off-stage were a most appealing feature of the presentation, which will be repeated tonight and tomorrownight at 8:30 p.m. in the campus amphitheater.

Beneath his wide-brimmed felt hat his face is weatherbeaten and sunbaked- from thousands of days in the heat-drenched fields of the San Joaquin Valley. His voice is still laced with a hint of Oklahoma twang although he has lived most of his 36 years in California. He looks you in the eye as he recounts the years-on-end he has watched the world pass through the doors of a smelly, wheezing labor contractor's bus. Parker speaks philosophically about his job. "I don't ask the workers any questions.

I get an order for so many workers and that's what I deliver. Sometimes they get $1.25 per hour, sometimes $1.45, sometimes $1.65. Even though the rate for women has been set at $1.65 per hour, they do not always get it, although farmers have been warned they may have to pay back wages if and when the law is enforced. If the women get that mush, so will the men." Sometimes its a two-hour trip to the fields by the ancient i bus and then two hours home again at night. "It's a long day," says.

"But it's some kind of a the field. Generally the workers living. lie get free breakfast in are treated fairly, getting what they were offered when they got onto the bus. "Sometimes the sanitary facilities aren't so good. I've seen farmers who don't provide any toilets and the workers have to go in the fields.

Sometimes there is only one toilet for men and women. Sometimes there are two toilets but the tells me they're just for show in case the state inspectors come around and I'm not to let the workers use them." Familiar Work Parker says most of the field workers are of Mexican descent or the so-called "southern types" for whom the fields have been home since mother left them as an infant lying on a piece of burlap at the end of the row as she chopped cotton, topped beets or picked grapes. "For the most of them it's the only life they have ever Parker says. "In fact, I guess since most of them never went, far in school its about the only kind of work they can do. "Sometimes I spot an aged woman with gnarled skin and hands crippled with arthritis hobbling onto the Parker says.

"She's too old to work the fields maybe, but she does it anyhow. "There are kids, too," Parker said. "Some of them ought to be in school. And then there are guys who have a different name and Social Security number for every job. The law is lookin' for them.

They get lost in the world of bent bodies in the field. "Then there's the guy on welfare, unemployment or state disability working under a fake name and phoney Social Security number. He'll get two paychecks today one from the, government and one from the labor contractor. "And then there are aliens too. They make up a name and Social Security number or maybe use a relative's name and number.

If a guy says his name is J. Lopez, how do you prove it isn't? "Anyhow that's not my job Parker says, wiping his forehead with a large red handkerchief. "If they got a name and number, any name and number for me, I got a job for them." Crash Injures Girl, LA Woman Lisa D. White, 2, of 6178 N. San Pablo Ave.

Then came the staple of oldtime theater, the "Olios," and there were cheers for Miss Holcomb and Bera Christian, two billowding, stony faced matrons singing "A Married Woman's Lament," and raucous shouts for hip-swinging "card girl" (Donna Goodner), with a dazzling, smile and an absolutely (by 1890s standards) scandalous costume.
