Show Lions Minstrel Footnotes As usual the Annual presentation present-ation of the Lions Minstrel packed pack-ed the house and the College of Southern Utah Auditorium was vertually bursting at the scams Thursday nifiht. Advance speculation spec-ulation would have It that the Lions wouldn't do so Rood moving mov-ing from Thanksgiving night to Dec. 1. The crowds Thursday, however, proved that the people go to see the show, not simply as an act of tradition. Most folks got quite a chuckle out of old G. D. McDonald In his rendition of "Remember Me." After Af-ter that classical selection there aren't many people In town who won't! A newcomer to the show this year, as a matter of fact a newcomer new-comer to Cedar City and to the CSU faculty, Is Dale Nr.'son who sang "Sleepy Time Gal." Dale Is publicity director at the college. col-lege. Although the number was new, it was good. Congratulations. Congratula-tions. All In all one of the really nice, and we use the word losely, things about this year's show was the salute given to Chief of Police Tony Lambert. Tony had no idea that he was going to be so honored, hon-ored, but with the Lions singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," and the warm response from the audience, Tony can feel justly proud. Although a couple of the end men got a little befuddled this year, the quality of the performance perfor-mance was good. The group singing, sing-ing, solos, and dances showed more preparation than In a number num-ber of years. Maybe the auditorium audit-orium and it's facilities helped, but the show was well prepared. The Lions Quartet, or Tradesmen, Trades-men, whichever name you prefer, were their old "reliable" selves In their rendition of "Dry Bones." That orchestra- did all right too. The Hula girls imported for the benefit of StarUey Bradshaw and the Rotary Club, who turned face and went to the Lions . . . Well only one comment on that, the Lions can have 'em. |
