Over 500 species of pearl-bearing

The internationally famous Queen
Pearl of Empress Eugenie's royal
jewels was picked up by a carpen-
ter in a New Jersey creek. and in
1890 a London dealer paid $50. 900
for pearls taken from Sugar River in
Wisconsin.
Pearl hunting requires no special
skill, but is an eyestraining and
back-breaking job -. it's like pick
ing potatoes, only worse. You wade
the creek, moving always upstream
so you don't muddy the water ahead
as you comb the bed for mussels.
Opening the mussels is M cinch but
there is the constant excitement of
a possible find. Shorts or bathing
suits are the ideal garb; the only
other equipment needed is a bag or
basket for carrying mussels and a
knife to open them.

Cinderella Bows In Again

in the Aim colony, Maureen saw her
option bounce and headed back for
Broadway, to be signed for the floor
show at the Copacabana. She was a
modest hit there, subsequently was
signed for a series of summer re-
vivals of musical shows in st. Louis,
excellent practice for her. current
stint. The rest is Broadway legend
right in the Cinderella groove.
She was brought in, after the show
opened on the road, as an under
study. When Producer Mike Todd
decided that the girl playing the
feminine lead was not exactly right,
Maureen was rushed in-and fitted
the part as if by magic. Todd frank
ly was bit timorouS about her play
ing role which called for a cute
young thing at the start, progressing
to a fairly mature young lady at the
finale, but opening night audiences
and critics settled all doubts. She
most definitely was just right.
Adding to the Cinderella legend is
the manner in which Maureen first
came to New York. Ezra Stone
spied her in Chicago, suggested that
