to grab it first. Certainly among
its more noteworthy distinctions
is the casting. 1t asks John

Bortai and the State of Utah to
impersonate the Cobb Desert.

Another distinction OF The

that Mr.. Powell cracked a large

Tours Over Miami

NEW understanding has
been added to the Miami Beach
scene. Both hotels and night clubs
have benefited from the guided
tours which have added tens of
thousands of customers to the
midnight trade. The guided tours
are copied from those which
have long operated in Paris. For
$40, couple can join the eve
ming tour to two hotels and a
night club. They arrive in buses,
are given quick tour of the
main floor of the hotel and then
are seated in the night club
room. where a Tony Martin OF
a Dick Shawn is entertaining
They are served sandwiches and
coffee. This innovation has
proved tremendously popular
with visitors to Miami who have
read about these plush layouts
without ever being able to see
them. This tremendous new
source of revenue has been a
shot in the arm to the hotels and
also has cheered performers who
otherwise might play to halt
empty rooms at their midnight
shows.

LOCAL DRAMA
Kensington
Is d Family
Enterprise

The Kensington Players, win
.ners of last years One-Act Play
Tournament, did not wait for
television to become the nucleus
of family recreation it kept in
sisting it would be. One of several
aspects of this groups nature
which endears it to its members
is that it is in large part a fam
lily enterprise. OF its some 80
members, more than half repre-
sent families participating - ia
ther. mother, teen-ager and pos
sibly someone younger who is
sure to be pressed into service
on demand.
The group was founded in 1949
after members of the Kensington
Lions Club had been favorably
impressed by a series of PTA
plays directed by Gertrude Gantz.
Katherine Herder undertook the
task of convincing the Lions that
the community needed its own
little theater. What's more, Mrs.
Herder backed up her conviction
with 500 to expedite the groups
formation and the Lions were
convinced. With a brand-new
switchboard and some small
change left over, Kensington
Players were in business.
Mrs. Herder was the first presi-
dent, Miss Gantz the second.
Donald A. Sanders, 1856 tourna-
ment chairman, was the third
and the present incumbent is
Mrs. George Crossette.
The Kensington Players, Inc,
has become the part of the COM
munity life that the Lions hoped
it would be back in 1919. One Of
it's principal recent activities, for
instance, has been the staging of
some 80 one-act plays before
PTA groups. These have been
used to illustrate graphically the
situations under study at a series
of discussion meetings conducted
by the Montgomery Mental Hy-
giene Association.
The group also has won dis
tinction outside its own COM
munity. The original play, "Test
Case" directed . by Warren
Thomson, was voted best in a
series presented several years
back over WMAL-TV. The Stars
television station. And there was
that tourney win of last year. It
was accomplished with Noel
Coward's "Fumed Oak" directed
by Fernando Morales-Macedo.

The calamity probably was
caused by a seepage Of water into

The cause of the seepage was
not known. On expert said a
