Brendan's Boys' Choir in Lafayette Park at 3 p.m. During the course of the serenade, Miss Carlotta Jelm, designated as the Easter Lily Girl, will be presented to the throngs. RECEIVING SETS Scientific-minded promenaders will be attracted to the lawn of the Ambassador where the Don Lee television station will set up its mobile unit for a three-hour telecast of tho promenade, beginning at 12-10. Receiving sets will be in operation in the Town House and the Wilshire Center Brown Derby. Mingling with the flow of traffic on Wilshire Blvd.

will be colorful hansom cabs, reminiscent of New York's Fifth Ave. Easter parade. Although no parking will be allowed on the boulevard itself, there will be unlimited courtesy parking facilities for the convenience of the promenaders. Legal action to arrange for the auction of the Midwick Country Club in the Monterey Park district was taken yesterday by a bondholders' committee. Under provisions of a mortgage indenture the club property became security for $100,000 in bonds, which matured in 1934, and on which the club later defaulted.

The indenture stipulated that any sale of the property be held on the steps of the County Courthouse, but the city no longer has such an edifice, the old red stone couBthouse having been torn down. The court is requested in the action to issue an order arranging for the sale to he held instead at the entrance way of the Hall of Justice. Present plans, it was announced, are for re-organization of the club. History will repeat itself, after a fashion, when the Wjlshire Center Easter promenade takes place today on Wilshire Blvd. between Lafayette Park and Normandie, along the route followed by early California generals who led their men from the tiny Pueblo de Nuestra Se-nora Ea Rcjna de Los Angeles to the ocean.

Their parades were history-making, but arduous. Today's promenade will be fashion-making and enjoyable. Promenaders will be greeted along the way, not by hostile Indians or wild animals, but by smiling flower girls selected for their charm and beauty, who will proffer flower-favors to the passers-by. BEAU BRl'MMELL POLICE If any protection were needed for the promenaders, it would be provided amply by the special promenade detail of 50 policemen, selected by their colleagues as the best-groomed men on the force. Dramatic contrast between the California of today's Easter promenade and the California of early days will be provided when smartly dressed society folk and motion-picture celebrities, plus 75 professional fashion models, will climax their boulevard stroll with a visit to the Little Mission, a miniature reproduction of the mother mission at San Dieeo.

For pictures of an Easter costume the background must be chosen to set off the costume properly. A shaded porch or open church doorway makes a suitable dark background for a light-colored or white attire.

Outdoors, films of the chrome tvpe Poppy Time Arrives in Valley Area acre fept, equivalent, to more stone church wall, sunlit, as a background.

Dramatize the costumes with action. If possible, shoot the family group walking to church, using a shutter speed of 1100 of a second or faster. If you haven't a camera with that fast a shutter speed, shoot the group as they come down the front steps at home having them pause for a moment halfway down while you make the exposure. Remember that women look somewhat taller and more distinguished if you picture them coming down the steps, making the exposure about the third or fourth step from the CHILDREV AND TOYS Snapshots of the children in their Easter suits or frocks will be more appealing if you include some Easter toys or eggs, Easter offers an ideal opportunity to try your hand at storytelling with your camera.
