Carol Service Is Rebroadcast Last Sunday’s Presbyterian College choir Christmas Carol Service was tape recorded by ra dio stateion WLBG and will be played over the air this com ing Sunday Dec. 15th at 2 p.m. s World Review On Players BY ADELAIDE GANTT Marrying off a 33-year-old bachelor son and sending a ounger one out to fling away ois bachelor days is the way a father can solve his family and business troubles, if the father is Mr. Baker inNeilSimon’s “Come Blow Your Horn." The three act comedy was pre sented last week by Henry Lau rens Players in the Black Magic Theater at Presbyterian College. It wasn’t a particularly brill iant start for the Players’ sea son but undoubtedly they will im prove. Apparently, the Players chose the wrong play and some didn’t seem particularly enthu siastic about it. That and sparce audiences are not conducive to in spired performances. Long-term bachelor Allen Ba ker, played byFrankSherriU was as pleased with the approaching marriage as was his father, a role convincingly done by Bill Peters. Young People Enjoy Party The Married Young People’s Dept, of Calvary Baptist Church had their annual Christmas supper on Tuesday night, Dec. 10. Mrs. Sylvia Ballew gave the de votional. The social hall was appropri ately decorated with a Christmas tree. During the evening, mem bers and their families enjoyed the good food and fun. At the conclusion of the even ing the children took turns at breaking a snow man pinata. * * * Calvary Choir Cantata Sunday The Church Choir of Calvary Baptist Church will present a Christmas Cantata “Joy To The World' by John W. Peterson, on Sunday evening, Dec. 15 at 7:30 p.m. They will be assisted by the Handbell Choir. Music di rector is Mrs. Eva Land; or ganist, Mrs. Frank Lee; and pianist, Mrs. Vernon Trammell. The narrator will be Richard Foster. Marriage would end Allen’s bachelor days which has recently become more burdensome than carefree. For one thing, he had begun calling all his girls “Con nie* because Connie Dayton, por trayed by Charlotte Reed, was the one girl he wanted to keep and the one he would surely lose unless he married her. Another result of wild bache lorhood had been losing his job in his father’s wax fruit busi ness by forgetting an important business appointment. To further infuriate Mr. Baker, Allen had finally convinced his younger brother, who had just become 21, to move out of the Baker family apartment and in with him. Allen’s aim had been to get Buddy, played by Jim Lamb, away from Mr. Baker’s strict domination so he could grow up. Buddy did more growing than his brother intended, taking up Allen’s playboy characteristics and also getting fired by his father. To salve his hurts after firing his sons, Mr. Baker tormented his wife for three weeks until she deserted him for her sons’ apart ment. Betty Jean Shook, in her first role with the Players, did very well as the hypochondriac mother who became "nauseous' every time she answered the phone and couldn’t find a pencil to take a message. Mr. Baker came to find his wife and a family argument en sued. In walked Connie Dayton to tell Allen of her departure for Europe. During the confusion, Allen re vealed to his father that he had secured an order from a client the firm had been unsuccess fully pursuing for years. He also asked Connie to marry him and was accepted. Thus he regained his job, along with some author ity in the firm. Mr. and Mrs. Baker, with a re sponsible son to care for the busi ness, decided to take a world tour. Having learned with Allen, they left Buddy to have his fun as a single man. Also appearing were Jean Harris as Peggy Evans, another girl friend of Allen and Janelle Causby as the Baker brothers’ Aunt Gussie. Bob Hanson directed the pro duction, and Moe Guerrini was assistant director.
