Columbia ‘Hello, Dolly!’
is a rolicking success
The Columbia Little The-
ater launched its new home
in the State Theater on
Locust Street in Columbia
last week with a ribbon
cutting ceremony followed
by a rousing performance of
‘“‘Hello, Dolly!”
The musical, about a turn-
of-the-century matchmaker
who sets out to make a
match for herself, is lively,
comic, and full of memor-
able tunes.
The Columbia Little The-
ater version of ‘‘Dolly’’ is a
happy one. The cast is
bright and lively. Janet
Walker and Chet Zercher, in
the lead roles of Dolly Levi
and Horace Vandergelder,
provide professional histri-
onics and singing with a
sure comic touch.
Mount Joy's Sandy
Heisey plays the romantic
part of Mrs. Molloy with
stunning vocal ability. Sam
Taylor, in his New Era
review of the show, says
Sandy ‘‘looks like a young
Ethel Merman and her voice
in the lower registers also
has a strong resemblance to
the familiar Merman
‘belt.’ ”’
Mary Jane Demmy of
Marietta, who is stage
manager of ‘‘Dolly,”” has
been a strong guiding force
in the Columbia Little
Theater since its inception.
The opening of its new home
in Columbia with this
production of ‘‘Dolly’’ is a
tribute to her dedication to
grass-roots theater.
And ‘“‘Dolly’’ is grass-
roots theater at it finest. The
acting is excellent, the
singing is superb, the
dancing is dynamic, the
music supplied by a pit
orchestra is appropriately
brassy. The theater’s
acoustics are good, the seats
are roomy and comfortable,
the view of the stage is
clear. The seats are reason-
ably priced, and Columbia is
only minutes away.
But the best part of
““Dolly’’ is that the audience
loves every minute of it.
Don’t miss it! ‘“‘Dolly’’ runs
through October 4 nightly at
8 pm. Call 684-2273 for
information.

Donegal traveled to ELCO
last Saturday where the first
place Raiders handed them
a 16-0 shut out. Considering

team, Donegal put up a real
fight.
The Raiders have 21
starts back from a 10-1
season last year. The have
depth and experience.
According to Donegal
head coach Gayne Deshler,
the game was closer than
the 16-0 score indicates.
“Their first touchdown
and the field goal were both
made with several long
yardage plays on the third
down. They broke away and
got into scoring position,”’
related Deshler.
‘“The real turning point of
the game was the third
period,’’ he continues. With
the score at 6-0, Donegal
quarterback Darrel Risberg
underthrew an end for what
would have been a touch
