Enchanted Hills Playhouse batting 1,000 with 'Oliver'

By BILL SPURGEON Looking at the demolishing effect the baseball players’ strike has had on our national pastime, this reviewer considers himself lucky to be able to find ar-nne that is batting at all. Thus it’s doubly refreshing to be able to report’ that not only is there ah outfit that is still batting but that it is batting a cool 1,000 to boot. The organization we’re reporting about is the Enchanted Hills Playhouse, and its current success is the delightful musical "Oliver!” Coupled with "Oklahoma!? this seems to be a season of exclamation points) the folks at Enchanted Hills are now two-for-two in the successful production department in the 1981 season “Oliver!” is based on Charles Dicken's "Oliver Twist,” putting to music — delightful music — the tale of the boy from the workhouse of London and his experiences with a gang of pickpocketing rogues Playing Oliver Twist is Temple Schultz, recruited from South Bend for the role Temple's voice is most pleasant, and there is patent evidence of considerable acting ability and stage presence, all of which are injected into the role assigned this youngster in the current production Darryl Maximilian Robinson is

a perfectly delightful Fagin, playing the pickpocket with just the right combination of impertinence and compassion. Mr Robinson is particularly well-cast because he, like the wily, lovable thief that he plays, obviously knows — and likes — his job. Also outstanding in the performance enjoyed by this reviewer was Myrona Lou Laws as Nancy. Her voice is impressive in the poignant “As Long As He Needs Me" and she — in fact, the entire cast — produce music that can generate spinetingling chills on a hot July night, over and over again Tom Lamb is an appropriately overbearing Mr. Bumble and Susan L Sams is excellent as Mrs. Comey. Also putting in creditable — and credible — performances are Mike Harris and Suzanne Freshley as Mr. and Mrs Sowerberry, the undertaker and his wife (to whom Oliver is “apprenticed” after being tossed out of the workhouse), Joe McKesson as Mr Brownlow. Shelley Sanders as Bet, and Cecil K Eastman 111 as the pompous Dr Grimwig You can’t have "Oliver!” without a good Bill Sikes and Donald Lee Hahn does the job just right at Enchanted Hills, nor can you have an “Oliver! without The Artful Dodger, played well by Tom McSweeney.

The music is compelling and well-performed, with dialogue taking a back seat to the score. A production that includes such beautiful songs as “As Long As He Needs Me" and “Where Is Love” with more boisterous songs like “I’d Do Anything" and “A Fine Life,” plus the beautifully staged-and-sung “Who Will Buy,” is a surefire guarantee of a good summer evening s entertainment. The orchestra directed by Douglas Bomberger is just right, the dancing is fine-tuned under choreographer Leta Kritzman and the set designed by Tom C. Miller is appropriately spartan and authentic for its intended purpose, showing once again the ingenuity of master carpenter

Tippecanoe Lake Flotilla slated for 1 p.m. July 12

Dave Kiefer. The only incongruities this reviewer noted are in the costuming area ; designer Jayne Davis and assistant Jayne Beck were fully on top of the situation throughout the production with clever, appropriate clothing save for an all-purple outfit on Mr Bumble which made him look like a caricature of Uncle Sam who had fallen into a vat of Rit, and the costuming as the London policeman as a Beefeater (they guard the palace and the Tower* rather than a more appropriate, less conspicuous Bobby You can't win them all, and the discombobulation is promptly overshadowed by the total proper effect of everything else Director Jeffrey Koep and

Cards can slip out of your wallet very easily. • Never set your card down on a counter, hotel dresser, etc., never leave it in your glove compartment or coat pocket. • Make sure you get your card back every time you use it. • Keep a list of your cards with you, with their account numbers and instructions for reporting loss. Always report the theft of a credit card immediately. • Save the receipts from all your vacation purchases and compare the receipts with your monthly statement. Take special care in examining your gasoline credit charges. Double billing occasionally occurs; some gas companies have a central clearing house for exchange of charges, so you may get one bill from the clearing house and another from the gas company.

Maintaining that tan

Thousands of words are written and read about getting a pretty summer tan. But then what? How can that flattering hue be maintained between weekends? Acccording to dermatologists, there are a number of things to be done to keep a tan looking really great al! summer long. The best way to keep your tan from flaking and peeling is to keep your skin thoroughly moisturized. Always. Lubricate it in the sun—and out of it. Outdoors, this means frequent applications of a good skin lotion all over the body. In the sun, smooth on the extra protection of a good moisturizer after you apply a suntan lotion. Do this several times a day. Application of extra moisturizer adds protection against dryness so the skin can retain its natural moisture. Your tan will look better longer because flaking is retarded. At the end of each sun session, after showering, reapply moisturizer wherever your skin has been exposed to the sun. If you find that you tan one day and not the next, it may not be the sun. Suntanning is a chemical process and we are all exposed to chemicals that may increase the sun’s ability to bum.
