PAGE FOURTEEN PKone 2263 All Committee Chairmen Busily Working For Gay Glitter Extravaganza on Nov. 10 As Nov. 10, the date of the Gay 'Glitter show drew nearer, Mrs. Ernest V. Hunter, publicity chairman of the event disclosed last night that all comittees are working hard at some particular angle of their Job to make this the most extrava- 'gant and largest show of its kind ever to be staged in Pottstown.

Mrs. George A. Lessig, chairman of the property committee, last night announced the assistants that will help with the one of the hardest and least noticed part of the event. He co-chairman is Mrs. Lewis Himes, whOe assisting will be Mrs.

Jacob Sotter, Mrs. Van Renssalaer Bayard, Mrs. Richard Haury. Mrs. Stanley Davenport, Mrs.

Anthony DiMaggio, Mrs. James Sellers. Mrs. Elmer Shule, Mrs. Walter Smith.

Mrs. Emmanuel Herman, Mrs. Emerson Mr 5 PichTc! Schpffey. Mrs. Raymond Detterer, Mrs.

John Ziegler, Mrs. Ed Good and Mrs. J. R. Purmote.

Sponsor of the show is the Junior auxiliary of Memorial hospital, with all the proceeds from the event to go in its treasury. Last year the auxiliary was more than elated at the terrific success of its show, but this year members already are thinking in terms of that being a "small" show, for all events are planned on a greater scale, with added touches of extras. For instance, this year they will have a parade of male models wearing the accessories and jewels most enhancing to masculine charm and there will be a "perfume pageant." Then too, prizes and awards will number 150 and will range in value from one to 50 dollars each. Again each person attending will receive gifts of one sort or another. Ticket sales are off to a lively start, Mrs.

Hunter reported last night, with Mrs. Forrest Purnell, committee chairman, and Mrs. Stanley Skean, assistant, reporting that all members of the auxiliary now had tickets as well as the service desk at Kessler's. Because of the enthusiasm in the affair, the scene has been transferred to Sunnybrook ballroom to more than 3000 expected to attend. Mrs.

Albert Kessler, as in former years, will direct and stage the entire production, and every day finds her interviewing models for the joyful task of portraying to the women of Pottstown the latest in jewelry fashions, accessories and perfumes. Thirty-four girls and women are signed up now, with at least 50 to make their appearance the night of the show.
