The 1851 Community Center
Spring Teen age Talent Show |
last Saturday night was a smash |
hit. 1t was directed by a previ- |
Gus winner, song and piano
stylist, Miss Jacquoline Graham |
and viewed by a responsive and |
appreciative audie n e, which |
gave every encouragement to the
young peoples efforts. The first |
prize went to young King Cole |
immitator Michael Bonner who
put on an entertaining replica of
Mr.. Cole in a Calypso song and |
dance routine. 1t brought down |
the house. The second prize went
to a five-piece boys orchestra
calling themselves the Be-pob |
Quintet. Dickie Graham and |
Mike Bonner were on trumpet,
Al Kountze Jr., was on clarinet, |
Cecil Isaacs was on the key
board, and Johnny johnson at
the drums. The Center rocked |
as the young orchestra played |
two hot musical improvisions of |
their own be-hop, which pleased !
the crowd immensely. The ele-
ment of sweet romantic singing
was provided by Miss Emily |
Thompson, who won third prize. |
Miss Thompson gave a fine Sarah |
Vaugn type of presentation of |
the song, "Tll Be Waiting" with !
Miss Graham doing a fine job at
the piano. And this time the
PA system worked. Franklin
Taylor handled the microphone
introductions and was a very
good master of ceremonies. Posi-
bility exists that an Autumn
Talent Show will be planned
soon.
