Hundreds
of 1st and 2nd graders dominated the crowd for Gene McFall's "Witty World
of Will Rogers" program.
Gene McFall
spent 6 years in Hollywood trying to find his niche. He was actor James Whitmore's
understudy in a one-man show about Will Rogers in the 1980s. Gene wrote his
own show in 1989 called the "Witty World of Will Rogers" and has
been presenting that show to kids and adults ever since. Gene has presented
his show many times for the Library system here in Collinsville. Gene was
born in Kentucky and started his acting "career" with the lead role
in "Tom Sawyer" as a youth in school.
