Of local residents. Some years

Others have followed the pat

ronage in the service and re-
pair of electrical appliances,

Hats off to the Junior Mat

The Comedy Hour, first dra-
matte presentation of the cur
rent fall and winter season,
proved a smash hit, Dec. 10,
last Friday evening, at the
Hobbs Jr High H. S. Auditor
ium before a large crowd.
Sponsored by the Mystic VAL
ley Women's Bowling League,
the show featured a comic and
talented take-off of many ar
lists including the Rockettes,
Sophie Tucker, Pearl Bailey,
and other favoriteS, all of
which had the audience in a
happy and numerous mood.
From the opening curtain pre-
sentation of the explosive old
time dance Charleston, through
the singing, waltz, mambo,
soft shoe and other dance
routines, the show moved at
an entertaining and lively
clip, heightened by the fact
that most of the well known
Bowling Club members and
associates were acting out of
character and were doing it
with surprising success. The
cast Of over thirty actors
were directed by Edward and
Edmund Christmas. the two
brothers who put this commu-
nifty back in show business
with their stage and TV song
and dance routine some years
ago. The costumes were by
Mrs. Blvien Freeman and mu-
sic was by Mrs. Coral Alexan-
der. The NV Bowling League
members are to be commend
ed, along with their assistants,
for bringing dramatic comedy
back tc the fore. It might be
suggested that certain acts
be used this Yuletide to enter
tain the Vets in hospitals. We
are certain, President Evelyn
Tyner will consider this idea.

The Senator said he also was in
formed that Mr.. Lorwin had
been aided by contributions,
many of them from persons he
did not know. The Senator
pointed out that if Congress re-
imbursed him, Mr.. Lorwin would
