Mother Teaches
BY demonstrating the use of
the cedar chest, the young
mother can explain graphically
why clothing should be put away
at all times and not left lying
around on the stairs or in the
bathroom.
But though the cedar chest has
taken its place in the home as
both a functional and decorative
piece of furniture, it also serves
the student away from home.
For instance, cedar chest is
ideal for the young coed away
at school. Not only can she place
her cherished sweaters and skirts
away in style in her room. but
she can lock it assuring privacy

But you can experience the good
solid feel of Buick strength

yourself on the lightness of the

Violet Sheldon who played it on
the piano.
It was not expected to be a
great revue, or a highly polished
one, and it was neither. 1t was
full of spirit. adventure, enter
prise, and anxiety to please and.
as everybody knows, these are
good things.
Critically speaking, the best
thing about "All Over Town" was
its dancing. its acrobatic sort Of
dancing. This Is something that
comes naturally to the flexible
young and it comes even more
naturally to their elders to watch
them dancing deliberately than
when they wiggle nervously while
trying to sing or act.
Dancers are expected to move.
Singers are actors are not, ex-
cept in a limited way, a far more
limited way than most Of them
used. Older and more experienced
directors might have done some
thing about this, but If they had,
"All Over Town" would not have
been a kids show directed by
kids. Their elders had decided not
to intrude, and they did not in
trude.
AS writers of sketches, the
various authors of "All Over
Town" write quite like high school
youngsters writing sketches. Near
est to a sophisticated item among
these is one called "The Baby
Sitter" It deals with the plight
Of a young couple yearning for a
night out but worried about what
kind of a night Gin" the sitter
and her date are going to have.
It might suggest that sitters. in
some cases at least. are more
advanced than their employers
have thought even though it ends
up on an innocent twist.
"The Drug Store" scene of an
other sketch indicates that this
favorite haunt Of the American
adolescent is club whose in
nocent rites consist mainly of
trying to borrow a nickel and pack
ing booths designed for four with
ID customers. It is an idea that
seemed to have greater possibili-
ties than the authors realized. but
this probably Is dodo's miscon-
ception of the modern world.
