Henri Therrien has taken the
town, and particularly audiences out
at the Shoreham ball room, by storm
hanging up a new encore record
when he opened his engagement Mon
day by singing some IA songs with
Barnee and the lads neatly swapping
out unrehearsed music that sounded
as though they'd gone over it for
days With Fay Allen des Portes,
Minister to Guatemala, home from the
Guatemalan capital, joining a party
Of distinguished friends to look on
with a certain local scribe falling so
hard for the Therrien songs Monday
he came back again Tuesday, bringing
f1lm publicist Mark Freeland to help
him applaud :. Which all is under

presidential speech once back on
Thanksgiving day of 1885. when an
audience at Warm Springs wouldn't

fell off :. something about That's
what love is all about" -. AS If he

wrote continuity, did bit of announc-
ing sold advertising. managed to
escape when volunteers were called to
hang a new antenna.
Wonder who the spectacled lass
out at the Shoreham was the one
who kept whistling off-key obligattos
TO Henri Therriens songs?
- Comes now the midnight mys-
terry of the year :. the story of the
missing goldfish :. When Matt Wind
Dor moved his pets out into the open
air and their rock pool on the Volga
Boatman Roof to begin their second
successful season all were present and
accounted for But the other day
he took a census again and one was
missing Not floating keel-up in
the pool an investigation indicates he
couldn't have slipped through and
gone down the drain . So Matt has
decided somebody just took fancy to
q goldfish and walked off with it
Sort OF an odd souvenir, but you
never can tell what will happen in a
roof garden in the Spring And we
have a neat list on the back of an
old menu Of whole raft of people
who were up to the " B. Roof
But we wouldn't mention a name, now
that any one who's been there is un-
der suspicion -.
Scads OF famed and canny dip
