Captivate Capacity
Crowd OF Patrons
PACKED HOUSE APPLAUDS
REVUE

Over 500 people with standing room
only at premium applauded Brown
field Follies," a musical revue pro-
duced under the auspices of Halle @.
Brown House Friday night, May 25.
Directed by William Griffin and
presented in the community house
auditorium, the "Follies" were a joy
to those who appreciate tuneful mel
ody, artistic dancing, and laughable
situations usually present in revues.
In some of the numbers, the cast
members reminded this correspondent
of professional performers. The en-
tire production was creditable with
the chorus scoring the biggest hit of
the evening with "Carioca" number
which took the house by storm. The
revue evidenced the ability of William
Griffin as a coming young director.
Costumes, also produced under his
direction, were superb. The "Follies"
should be reproduced in Minneapolis.
