LOCAL TALENT TO STAR IN
PLAYHOUSE PRODUCTIONS
East Farewell- Local Playhouse owners and long time East
Farewell promoters Rick and Julie Davidson have announced that they will
feature local talent in this year’s productions. After they announced the schedule for this
year last week they said they were talking with producer Jeb Bernstein after the party and decided that since there is an
abundance of local talent they should feature it in their productions. “We are
very excited to be able to showcase the amazing talent that is home grown here
in East Farewell,” said Mr. Davidson during a hastily organized press
conference on Monday, “We wanted to get the word out as soon as possible. So
let it be heard, we are opening up all the parts in all the shows to locals
first. Bring your best to the auditions.”
This opportunity was greeted with great enthusiasm by lot of
locals from aspiring seniors from the high school acting club to the
semi-professionals like local singer, actress, Natalie Mallard. “I can’t wait to try out for some of the parts, the
list of shows is just great and there are so many good roles, I just can’t
wait,” bubbled Miss Mallard after the announcement.
When the season
opens in May it seems the headliners will be from East Farewell. East Farewell
has become somewhat of an artistic magnet drawing artists of all types from
actors and actresses, singers, poets and storytellers to photographers and
movie makers and physical artist like sculptures, painters and potters. There
should be no lack of people trying to fill the roles and there will be plenty
of roles to be filled.

TRAVELERS MAKE IT TWO IN A ROW
East Farewell – The Travelers were able to stay unbeaten in the
fledgling season by downing the Cedar Creek Bulls 3-0 on Saturday. Cedar Creek
are looking to improve on their 10-20 season from last year. They added a top
pitcher from the Chesapeake League, Gene Greene, and tried to beef up their
offense by signing a big bat, Matt Delong, also from the Chesapeake League.
Delong has not arrived yet and his bat could have come in handy on Saturday.
The Travelers had Danny Lane on the mound and he showed why he is the second in
the rotation behind ace Joe Nagy. Lane was able to keep the Bulls off the board
by throwing a mystifying combination of curves, fastballs and sliders. The
Bulls were only able to come up with six scattered hits throughout the game and
were unable to generate any real offensive threats. The Travelers, on the other
hand, were able to generate three runs through some good old fashioned hit and
run. In the third inning Booby Watson singled, Johnny Cloos walked and Tony
Dimero doubled to drive in both Watson and Cloos. In the eighth Ralph Francis
singled, Dale Dunham’s sacrifice bunt moved Francis to second and long
sacrifice fly by Watson was able to move Francis to third. The Traveler’s big
slugger, Johnny Cloos, came to the plate. Cloos had been walked twice and hit a
long fly to center the Bulls centerfielder, Frank Houser made a tremendous
leaping grab to save a homerun. Cloos took Bulls pitcher, Gabe Reston deep into
the count and Reston tried to place a 3-2 low curve into the corner of the strike
zone but Cloos had his eye on it and was able to get his bat on it and drive
over second base and score Francis with a single. Danny Lane was able to complete the game and
rack up a total of ten strike outs and only gave up six hits. It is still too
early to make any predictions but the Travelers have looked strong in both
their outing this season. This early record will be put to the test when they
meet the very strong Youngstown Steelers team. The game will begin at 1:30 on
Saturday.

Dean Martin’s first (solo) picture “Ten
Thousand Bedrooms” opens, but with no wild enthusiasm for the singer/actor. One
critic said that the title was the most exciting part of the film. Of Mr.
Martin he wrote, “When things get dull, he bursts into song, and then suddenly
everything is just as dull.” Another described him as “a personable actor with
a nice enough singing style, but he’s just another nice-looking crooner without
Jerry Lewis.”
Jerry Lewis has been busy, too, He held
a burglary suspect at gunpoint at his pacific Palisade home until police
arrived. Lewis told police the suspect rang his back door bell about 8:30pm and
handed him a note. The comedian closed the door and was reading the note when
he noticed the man trying to get into the front door. He pressed a silent burglar
alarm, alerting police and took a 38-caliber revolver to the front door. Police
say the note was garbled.
