transplanting.
Cuttings of geraniums, coleus, and

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

The Drayton Rutherford Chapter,
U. D. C. met Tuesday afternoon at

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.

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.
