SUMMER Society and CLUB NOTES By DORIS ARMFIELD +*++**++++***+++***********r*r*r+r+*r******* h r*******************************^} Stephen Foster The auditorium of Newberry high school was filled to capacity and over flowing when the Newberry Music club presented the musical production “A Dramatized Biography of Stephen Foster”, by Kathryn Daniel. The scenes were laid at Memorial Park on Foster’s Birthday, July 4 one year after his death. Miss Frances Dougherty read the prologue, while behind the curtains a chorus of third and fourth grade children sang “Old Folks At Home.” Frances, who is a decided blonde, was lovely in her* skyblue organdy dress. At the neckline was a wide frill tied with a black ribbon. Dr. James C. Kinard played the role of Stephen Foster’s spirit. As in everything he does, Dr. Kinard was outstanding in this. The little girl in the play was Muriel Harmon and the newsboy was Fred Gilbert. In the first scene, Muriel was dressed in blue tafetta carrying a baket of pink flowers to put on the monument dedicated to Stephen Foster. On this monument was written “To the Memory of Stephen Foster, composer of Songs.” Directly in front of the monument was a desk where the spirit of Foster sat during the show. In the background were pines, roses and other blooming flowers. Foster sits at the desk, knowing that he will hear the songs he wrote. He begins to tell about his life from boyhood, and during his reminis cence, his songs are sung by mem bers of the music club, and others. The first musical number was “Uncle Ned” with Wilbur Long and a quartet composed of Henry Fellers, J. D. French, Gus Houseal, and Har ry Feld. Henry Fellers was dressed as Uncle Ned. The ladies chorus, formed by members of the music club also assisted in the singing. The high school mixed chorus sang and danced to “Oh! Susanna.” The girls and boys were dressed in style of Foster’s day. The favorite song of so many people, “Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair” was beautifully sung by Jeanne Johnstone. Jeanne wore a pink flowered crepe with a pink silk pokebonnet. She carried a nosegay of various kinds of flowers. Henry Fellers, now attired as Old Black Joe, sang the solo in that number, accompanied by the chorus. Mrs. R. C. Floyd, who gave “My Old Kentucky Home” assisted by the men’s quintet, was lovely in her dress of blue tafetta sprinkled with laven der flowers. “Massa’s In the Cold, Cold Ground” was sung by Mrs. P. K. Harmon and the chorus. Mrs. Harmon wore a plain white gown with a black velvet ribbon tied at the neckline and ex tending almost full length of the dress. Tied around her neck with black velvet ribbon was a cameo. The minuet was danced for Foster and his daughter, to the strains of Minuet in G by the following girls: Dorothy Thornton, Louise Wells, Leah June Vigodsky, Margery Paysinger, Dorothy Ross, Elizabeth Hayes, Grace French, and Elizabeth Blease Baker. The former four were dress ed as boys in colonial dress suits, and the latter four in colonial dresses. ) Mrs. Henry Fellers, dressed as a negro mammy, accompanied at the guitar by Carl Martin, also appro priately dressed for the scene, rend ered “Hard Times Come No More.” Mrs. R. C. Floyd, soloist, Harry Feld, violinists, and the ladies chorus gave a lovely version of “Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming.” The last special number of the evening was “Beautiful Dreamer” by Marguerite Burns. Marguerite wore a dress which looked really charming on her. Her dark complexion and black hair were set off by a white silk-net gown. She also wore a string of pearls. After the epilogue by Frances Dougnerty, the ensemble sang “Old Folks At Home” as a finale. The program was a greater success than anyone hoped for, and the latest report is that the club made $75. Those in Newberry who love music truly appreciate and are willing to support such programs as this, as is shown by their interest in the Foster pageant. We all hope the music club will soon give another program suc h as this. Leap Year Ball “Bugs let’s jitter this Leap Year with a dance on my 4th birthday, Feb 29th at the Legion Hall. Begins at 8 o’clock, and ends at 12, Please ca ll -for your date. Metts. So, being a leap year dance, the girls made dates with the boys and took them to Metts Fant’s birthday ball. About 125 were there to help him celebrate his fourth brithday. Being a leap year baby, of course, accounts for Metts’ being four years old. Music was furnished by the “gyp- organ” as known to jitterbugs, may be better known to some as a nickel odeon. The chaperons were Mr. and Mrs Metts Fant, Sr., Mrs. Butler Holmes, Miss Mary Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. Seth Meeks, Mrs. Mae Stuck, Mr. and Mrs. Drayton Nance, Mrs. Mary King, Mrs. R. W. Kirkland, Mrs. James McLean, Mrs. R. C. Floyd, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Summer, Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Davis, Misses Marguerite and Evelyn Burns, Mrs. J. L. Burns, Mr. and Mrs. David Bruner, Mrs. C. J. Purcell, Messrs. Frank Hunter, George Cody, Kibler Williamson, and Carl Ringer. Since this only happens to Metts once every four years, he really “does it right.” SURPRISE DINNER FOR MISS DOROTHY DICKERT On Tuesday night, March 5th, Mrs. Wyche Dickert gave a surprise birth day dinner for her daughter, Dorothy. Those joining in the celebration were Mr. and Mrs. Ben Spotts, Mr. and Mrs. William Lominick and Mr. Char lie Bowers. The dinner was served at eight. An Easter motif was carried out in a yellow and white color scheme. Easter baskets filled with candy eggs were at each plate. For the centerpiece, a white birth day cake trimmed with yellow was used. On it was written “Happy Birthday to Dot.” U. D. C. CHAPTERS MEET TUESDAY The Drayton Rutherford Chapter, U. D. C. met Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Steve Griffith with Mrs. Hunter Brown and Miss Evelyn Burns, associate hostesses. The roll .call was answered by an incident in the life of John Calhoun. Mrs. Hunter Brown read a paper on “Newberry In the Campaign of 1876.” After the program, the hostesses served delicious refreshments. The Calvin Crozier Chapter, U. D. C., met Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. Ned Purcell. Mrs. Caroline Schenck was associate hostess. After the ritual and p’edge to the flag, the roll call was answered with the name of a battle in the War Be tween the States, and each member told whether or not they had relatives in that battle. A very interesting paper on “The Life of Wade Hampton” was read by Mrs. Neal Workman. The members of the chapter en joyed sandwiches, cookies and coffee served by the hostesses. LEGION AUXILIARY MEETS WITH MRS. MOWER The American Legion Auxiliary will meet with Mrs. McHardy Mower Thursday, March 7, at 4:00 p. m. The following are associate hosteses: Miss Mattie Adams, Mrs. Cannon G. Blease, Mrs. J. W. White, Miss Geor gia Porter, and Mrs. J. G. Donaldson. The program for the month, under the direction of Mrs. F. D. Mower, is “Community Service.” Mr. and Mrs. Wilton Todd and children, Mary Ann and Bob, went to Charlotte Sunday to attend the birthday dinner of Mr. Todd’s mother. Mr. Wilton Todd left Tuesday for a business trip to Charlotte. He will be away for several days. SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON AT OPERA HOUSE MONDAY AND TUESDAY Thomas Mitchell, whom you may remember as the reporter in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, has the leading role in this picture to be at the Opera House Monday and Tues day, March 11 and 12. The picture is based on the ever popular book “Swiss Family Robinson”, by Johann David Wyss. Edna Best is Robinson’s wife, and his sons, Freddie Bartholomew, Tim Holt, Terry K’lburn and Baby Bobby Quillan. The father of the Robinson family who has become rich making Swiss watches, decides that the only thing that will make men out of his spoiled boys, will be to take them out of the social life they are used to, and to the colonies where they will leam to take care of themselves. Every mem ber of the family objects, and he takes them against their will. Bound for Australia, they are shipwrecked by a violent storm at sea, at which time all members of the crew are swept overboard, and only the Robinsons and a part of the cargo of cattle survives. They are cast on an island never heard of, and which, to the father, is practically a Utopia. However, his wife and sons long for the social and educational life which they left. Much tense drama is the result of efforts to settle down on the island until a ship comes for them. Thh is one of the most suspenseful human documents brought to the screen in many years. Those who love music, will enjoy this picture, for the musical scores varying to fit the scene, are from Franz Schuberts well-known work Quartette in A Minor, Opus 29. This picture will appeal to young and old alike. TO HONOR FIRE CHIEF Newberry’s Fire Chief, Henry B. Wells, who has given 50 years of active service to his city, will be hon ored with a banquet at the country club on March 8th by local citizens and friends of Mr. Wells. A host of the chief’s friends and admirers are expected to attend. Tickets to the banquet are offered to members of the fire department, and Chamber of Commerce. Miss Doris Armfield visited her sister, Miss Constance Armfield in Anderson over the week-end. Miss Edna Hartness was a week end visited in the home of her sister, Mrs. George Smith in York.
