Local talent presented in musical play By JAN DANFORD The brilliant and versatile voice of soprano Marie Waggoner highlighted the musical play "Promised Valley" presented last week by the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Ms. Waggoner portrayed the youthful Celia and the role of her husband, Jed, was ably sung by Brian Burgess. "Promised Valley," a two-act play, depicted the journey of the Mormons as they trekked westward in 1847. At this time the United States was revolved in a war with Mexico and asked the Mormons for men to augment a battalion commanded by Major John Broderick, played with realism and sincerety by Beta Dan ford. While the soldiers marched to Mexico their wives and children, parents, siblings and comrades traveled toward Utah. Poignant interludes of song reveal the anguish of separation endured by Celia and Jed Cutler. While Jed serves with the army, Celia bears their child. At long last the migration ends near the Great Salt Lake. With many misgivings the Mormons view the dry and arid land, differing decidedly from the green and fertile valley of their dreams. The soldiers, having marched to Mexico, return with the non-Mormon Major by way of California and O ....... :i i{% i .... :L/: ¸- : local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Sa of the play.

Suddenly the heretofore quiet crowd becomes a frenzy of activity as individuals slap, swat, brush the insects. Bodies turn away from the invading swarm, and adults attempt to shield the little ones from the attack. A chant materializes to accompany the rhythmic contortions. "Crickets! Crickets! Crickets! Crickets!" Onlookers beyond the footlights may well have felt the crawling sensations, the hard-hitting blows of fast-flying crickets, the panic produced by the pests as they zeroed in on the hard earned fields of grain and plots of vegetables. And then a silence falls across the stage, and once again the cast watches the sky. Pandemonium changes to an awed reverence as their fervent prayers were answered. Sea gulls materialize to devour the crickets and the harvest is saved.
