inj.tai4 .' ,iii. mrm page 6 ad lib thursday, april 13, 1978 A Dickens' last "Our Mutual Friend," Charles Dickens' last completed work, will be presented in a seven-part dramatization on Masterpiece Theater beginning Sunday, April 16, at 8 p.m. on the Nebraska Educational Television Network. The programswill be repeated the following Friday at 1 1 p.m. starting April 21. Deceit and death fill "Our Mutual Friend, reflecting Dickens' increasing pessimism about the responsibility of upper middle-class society and life in general. The decent values are found among its misfits, unsuccessful and those in the lower middle class who have sunk into poverty. But Dickens doesn't idolize the poor. He shows what poverty has done to Jenny Wren, the dolls' dressmaker; to the Headmaster Bradley Headstone whose aspirations have accepted a false goal; to the Boffins and the mer cenary Bella; and to Lizzie Hexam and her selfish brother Charley, children of a man who robs corpses. The "mutual" friend in Dickens' novel is John Harmon who has been left fortune on the condition that he marry Bella Wilfer. He returns home after 14 years under the assumed name of John Rokesmith. He serves as secre tary to Mr. Boffin, who is to have the Harmon money if the will's conditions are not fulfilled. Lesley Dunlop and Jack Wild play Lizzie and Charley Hexam, whose father robs corpses in "Our Mutual Friend," on Masterpiece Theater, Sunday, April 16 at 8 p.m. on the NETV Network.
