The play effectively uses movement, facial expression and state business when Mr. Brewster is introduced to the scene; Act one, scene one; when he enters the stage by calling his colleague Turner. Mr. Brewster who is dressed executively with a brief case and the facial expression displayed by Jed, when he expresses out how Brewster doesn’t look like a chief. Display of facial expression is also rampant when Mr. Brewster was amazed when he met Granny Moses whom, he inquires if he is the one who paints primitive pictures.
A display of state business is evident when Brewster who is a chief employee in the midland oil company, the company with interests in the land where Clampett family has resides. Brewster came to discuss how the family would be generously compensated if they took the offer as Brewster’s midland oil company wanted to commercialize the land through oil exploration.
Vocal projection on the play is consistent as well as the dialect. The dialects is used widely by the Clampett family; Jed, Elly May, Granny, and their relative Jethro. The vocal and physical characterization is evident in the scene when George Turner walks; a geologist in the backwoods, assessing the rock. Granny and Jed surprised by who the mysterious visitor on riding pants, boots and shirts. This gives the cast the authenticity of the play, the characters also synchronize with the style by their use of dialect to portray or bring out effectively the part of the country they are; country side.
