A good storyteller would make it work well.

Parshall Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:15:23 +0000 http://www.keepapitchinin.org/?p=10823#comment-78246 I kept wondering why a radio script would include directions for facial expressions and hand gestures and set decoration. I suppose that since there was a reference to this being a play that Primary classes would soon be performing, they used an existing script and hoped it would translate to radio — otherwise I don’t know what sound effect would signal a Milkmaid taking Ann by the hand, or the Judge looking at a list.

And as the Tumblers, Milkmaids, and the Tooth Squad all paraded past, I kept hearing the refrains of the Lollipop Guild and other Munchkins from the Wizard of Oz. Plus, this had to be a pretty big primary class for all the parts.

That would most likely be Mildred Tanner Pettit (1895-1977), the composer of the music for “I Am a Child of God.”

Come to think of it, those last two are still occasional visitors.
