...cast. Dorothy (Karen Preston), the Tin Man (Scott Miles), the Scarecrow (A1 Abrams), and the Cowardly Lion (Paul Hewitt) all played double parts--Miles played Jack Haley playing the Tin Man, Preston played Garland playing Dorothy, and so on. The Wicked Witch (Gwen Mason) and the Gatekeeper of the Emerald City (Andy Sutter) splendidly overplayed in the grand tradition. Toto was something of a problem; he was necessary at certain points in the plot, but the decision to have the Secretary-Treasurer of the Dunster House Drama Society go down on all fours is not completely right. He tends...

The Packards and Mercers and Rolls-Royces lining the driveway were lovingly polished antiques. The gowns were late 1920s originals, and the million-dollar armature of jewelry was certified Cartier. It was only fitting, therefore, that among the 500 extras chosen...
...state's beverage canners have been hardest hit, because customers are reluctant to pay deposits on cans and are buying more bottled products. One Eugene firm, Emerald Canning Co., has shut down; California's Shasta Beverages, which distributes its drinks in cans, is also suffering financially in its Oregon operations.
