Cappy is portrayed by Charles
VTinninger, whom you'll remem-
Der as Cap'n Andy in the stage

Yet Winninger isn't the 60

George loves Anita in the Kyne

Officially, it was a meeting Of
the State Cat club, of which Mrs.

The ordinance was introduced
because Mrs. Charles ZabriSkie

dead; one still alive. She tried to
