The blonde performer was cast in the picture as a replacement for Mamie Van Doren who quit in a dispute over salary, It's Marie's first Old Carousel Gets Merry-Go-'Round By David Zarkin United Press International Spokane, Wash, (UPI) One of the nation's oldest and largest brass ring organ-type carousels may be moved from its home of 54 years to a smaller town a hundred miles away because city kids no longer thrill to a simple ride on a merry-go-round, "To my knowledge. there 1sn't another carousel like it," said Lloyd Vogel, owner of the machine and former proprietor of Natatorium Park, where it is located here, Vogel has sold the amusement park to El Katif Shrine, which will convert it to lodge use, Vogel said the 1909 Carousel is one of the nation's oldest and is exceeded in size on the West Coast only by one in San Francisco, which was built in 1914 by the Loos Co, of Germany.

This is a -hearted, witty composition written by Shostakovich before World War II and undoubtedly inspired by George Gershwin, It has a combination of polyphony and dissonance as Previn's plano against William Vacchiano's trumpet in a lively musical duel, Those who dislike classics should not be frightened away from this record because it 1s a concerto, It is set up in concerto form, with four movements, but the resemblance ends there, This is one of the composi-, tions that got Shostakovich Serge Prokofleff and Aram' Khatchaturian in Dutch with Stalin, And Previn, a leading American Jazz planist, does nicely with it, For Saxophiles "'Pres Is Blue' by Lester Young (Parker PLP-405) is a thoughtprovoking bit of magic on the tenor sax, Young spreads only six compositions over the two LP sides, including two good arrangements of "Stardust."

In a typical Hollywood casting decision, she was paired off with Hargitay, playing his wife, Muscleman Mickey's real wife, Miss Mansfield, is Noonan's spouse in the film, That might not make sense to anybody outside of Hollywood but that's the way things are done in filmland, Marie said she had been confining her professionalcareer to night clubs in recent years because of unsatisfactory parts offered her by film producers, Lepenski Conducts Initial Meet B111 Lepenski, Texas Electric Service Company official and newly-installed President of the Grand Prairie Toastmasters Club, presided at the Thursday evening meeting in the Golden Triangle Cafe, Other members of his staff now in office are: Bob Lynch, Educational Vice President; Emmett Aherns, Administrative Vice President; Louis Thompson, Secretary; Dave Randolph, Treasurer and Nate Tarrant, W.
