During this party his romance with a young debutante, Sophie, suddenly reverses itself and their engagement is broken. Changes Continents The comedy now leaps the Atlantic ocean to his Aunt Minnie's, Roberta, Paris Dress Salon. Here John meets Stephanie, his aunt's chief assistant, and the two fall in love. For a while John is fascinated by a sophisticated entertainer, one of the dress shop's best customers, Sharvenka. However, we soon find that Stephanie and John have finally realized that they were meant for each other. Darlene Perkins gives a gay, rollicking portrayal in the role of the professional entertainer, Sharvenka. While Joan Van Wagoner, as Stephanie, and Heber Jentsch as John will give sterling performances in their singing roles as they both have exceptional voices.

Clair Anderson at the organ; The cast and directors have had and will have they support of a great number of persons with such things as costumes, publicity, scenery, sound, dances, and more.

"My Sin Was Sin" By Don Fowler Have you ever stopped to think (if you possess the ability) about the fabulous amount of excellent literature that is available these days under the heading of "Love Stories"? What profound realism, what pathos is to be found there, what fine examples of brilliant creative ability, what plots! That's a good question, what plots? Let us consider an average juice on the rocks. As she sheds a heart-rending, true-life expose' re cently published in one of the bet ter "Absolutely True Love Confes sions magazines, ine plot: inter the heroine telling of her adventure into sin, her subsequent awak ening- to the true facts of better moral living, and her impassioned plea and hope that others will not follow her erring ways but stick to the straight and narrow. Let us consider her case history from the beginning. Wandering Alone Scene one: We find her wandering alone through the deserted streets. She decides the wicked life will help her forget the sorrows of her broken home. Her father is a reckless ne'er-do-well who spends all his time playing scrabble and drinking spiked carrot juice. . Her mother is a frustrated acrobat who hates our heroine because she can't do double backflips. To get away from all this our heroine has run away to the big city because her parents hate her and the kids laugh at her for having two heads. Scene two: The meeting. Our heroine decides to really be reckless so she stops at a convenient health bar and has a double celery sad tear over her plight she notices a dapper gentleman giving her the eye. (His left one, it's glass, you see.) Putting on her best coquettish smile she entrances him and it's love at first sight. Merry Whirl He takes her on a merry whirl about the town. She is dazzled by the bright lights, the fast cars, the "Adults Only" movies. He wines her and dines her and only too late does she realize that he has done her wrong. He has run out and left her to pay the check! And so we catch a last glimpse of our fallen heroine, sitting in the county poorhouse, sobbing out her broken heart as she writes her sad memoirs. Her closing paragraph is a fervent plea for good, clean living and the hope that other young innocents will heed her story, listen to their mothers and not end up as she, destitute and cast away. Here the curtain falls as we see our heroine heading for the river crushed by what life has brought. Fresh, dry handkerchiefs can be bought- as you pass through the lobby, or perhaps you can use the pages of the magazines printing this "fine" literature. Sig Pont's Anything (Ses After attending recent Weber basketball games and sitting in front of some rather erratic persons, I find it my duty to discuss at this time basketball fans in general.A good definition for a basketball game would be: a thing which changes people who watch it back into animals. Now that my eardrums have recovered from the beating they received at the last game, I feel that I can be an unbiased authority on the subject. I have analyzed the facts and drawn this conclusion: there are three types of fans, sad ones, happy ones, and neutral ones. Sad Fans Sad fans are the ones whose team is losing. It is also noted here that these fans always have fully-developed vocal cords. There is one thing characteristic of all sad fans; they hate referees. If one were to take an unpopularity poll with sad fans, I am almost certain that referees would win. According to sad fans, all referees are (1) blind as a bat, (2) related to the coach of the other team, (3) whistle-happy, and (4) paid off to make certain that the other team wins. Funny People Sad fans are funny people be cause when they are sad, instead of going off in a corner and crying like normal people, they yell at referees. This lets the ref' know that their team is really the best and that it is only because he is crooked that the other team is winning. Happy fans are those whose team is winning. These fans also have distinguishing characteristics. They hate sad fans and love referees. According to them, all refs are 1) honest, (2) unbiased, (3) en dowed with perfect 20-20 vision, and (4) right good Joes. Happy fans are also funny people. They can change to sad fans in a very short time. These folks also have pretty good vocal cords, but instead of yelling at refs as sad fans do, they yell at sad fans to stop yelling at referees. Neutral Fans Neutral fans are those who came to the game because they got a free pass, and they really don't care who wins. They aren't too active at games. Sometimes they talk to the guy next to them, but most of the time they just sit there. These neutrals are troublemakers because you never know whose side they're on. They hate referees, happy fans, and sad fans, but BEBOP'S FABLES The Sky Is Gone To Say the Least One cool, purple summer morn a slick chick called Henny Penny was evaluating peas in her green grotto. Out of a tremendous blue sky crashed a pea on her noggin. Cool Hen decided that the sky was real gone to fall on her bean. She felt simply dubble bubble and peram bulated over to the King s shack to spill the info. Along the way she dug a crazy mixed-up cock who jived, "Where you jumping to, Hen gal? The Sky Is Gone "I'm diggin' the news to the King that the sky is gone." "Count me in, pash pie," said Cock. This setup increased 'til by the end of their crazy trip there evolved a delicious duck, seven cool cats and a fox who was the most to say the least. Friend Fox on digging this spectacle gave with shrieks of the "Sheik" and questioned the mad group. Just the Facts "I just want to get the facts," said he. "What's the gismo here, you guys?" "Man! - You haevn't lived. The sky is hanging on by one crazy thread and we're relaying the statistics to the King." "Well, paint me a stripe and call me stinky, if that isn't the maddest," howled Fox. most of all they hate players. If no blood is spilt and no arms broken, a game just plain isn't exciting to them. Other Fans So now you know the things about fans that every red-blooded American boy should know. If, however, there are any bluebloods in the crowd, I shall be happy to send them (in code, of course) information concerning fans of another type, namely, those employed by certain dancers in a special type of dance.
