Here's the rest of the Wild West Tales pictures. In a few months I'll have the action shots from the play since we weren't allowed to take pictures during the performances. 

Hannah had a lead in The Ransom of Emily Jane. She was Ma Griggs, a kind hearted kidnapper. She and her son, Sonny, kidnap Emily Jane Dorset. Emily Jane is the daughter of the richest man in the county so she should fetch about $2000 easy. Well, Emily Jane is pretty excited about being kidnapped & has no intention of going home. She's pretty hard on Sonny. Notice the bruise she gave him on his leg in one of the pictures. Emily Jane's governess finds them at the hideout so she ends up kidnapped too. After some more time with Emily Jane, the kidnappers decide $2000 is a bit much and the ransom gets dropped down to $500 for the lively child. Some time after Mr. Dorset gets the ransom letter, he arrives with a counter proposition. He thinks $500 is too high. He thinks that Ma & Sonny should pay HIM $250 to take his daughter off their hands. Also, he suggests they never show their faces in town again lest the townspeople find out that they're the ones who returned Emily Jane to town. They gladly pay him & run out of town.

Hannah was a "live set" person for Slim & Miss Primm. That's hard to explain but she was in all black & held up grass & signs. 
She was also a flamenco dancer in The Feud of Paradise, Texas. 
 She had tons of fun & is sad it's over, of course.
