PAUE TWO THE DENTON RECOnD-CHRONICL rrfday, March TfR FATHER OF THE BRIDE DHS Senior Class Enacts Laugh Hit By GILBERT GORMAN Record-Chronicle Stiff Wrlttr Stanley Banks was either worried or explosively angry. He was bewitched, bothered and i But Pops Banks was also the ''Father of the Bride" 'and therefore could be forgiven for his hour- is' bouts with near apoplexy as his daughter's wedding date neared. 1 Who wanted Kay to get married in the first place? "She's just a child. Too young to (Jo anything but stay at home with the family; not marry a 'pair of Shoulders'." And so it went in "Father of the Bride," the giggle-grabber that has just completed a two-night sjtint in Denton High School Auditorium. The senior class production was based on the Edward tjtreettr novel and its Hollywood version.

I The local version was a satisfying-one, its characters abiy por- tjrayed by amateur talent and directed by Mrs. Venson Hall of the DHS speech faculty. The inslruc- tjir has worked with the sock and buskin in hei present capacity for the past eight years, supervising, aimong other things, two or three major plays a term as well as several one-act vehicles and tournament productions. 1 Last night's comedy concerned the efforts of Kay Banks to get herself married to her chosen one "pair of her father's initial attempts to make rfer forget the idea. Pops reconciles himself to Kay's plans, however, arid before the final curtain descends, he, Kay, Mother Banks, two brothers, the fiancee and maid all manage to become a little non compos mentis.

Getting Kay married, Pops discovered, was no easy task. First TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR SALE OR TRADE 3 bedroom house, unusually largo living room, dining room, double gprago. Can be had at a bargain or will trade lor small farm. R. GUY FRY REALTOR Pecan Phong SOB 1 MODERN t-TOam home.

"You might as well settle for a ring in your nose," Buckley was told. What finally got Kay mad was the matter of the guest list. After all, you can't snub everyone. Pops reasoned that since the church held 300 persons and the house only 150, someone was going to have to get it in the neck. This was the direct cause of civil war in the Banks household.

But Kay and Buckley did get married (of course) in spite ot a hard-hended "circulation" man, a temperamental caterer and a mover with a swan neck. "Father of the Bride" is definitely not a misnomer, It is the story of Pops, a role ably filled by Clay Newton. Especially good were his facial expressions, registered effortlessly in rage, indignation, solace and sometimes a touch of madness as the bills began to pile up. Ellen Davis and Dan Boren were the lovers, who barely had any time alone together during the cnliro play. Miss Davis' engenue was convincingly played.

Buckley, whose parents we never met, was portrayed by Boren. Yvonne Allen presented a good characterization of the mother whose patience was sometimes stained to the fracture point. Whatley and Bill Enlow aided the play materially as Kay's brothers, the former on the quiet side with a fine sense'of humor and Entow as the bumbling, stumbling Tommy Banks. Others in the cast were Glenwood Bays as tho slow-witted Buzz Taylor; Mickio Caihoun, Ben Banks' intended, Peggy Swift; Patricia Coiwell, sobbing Delilah; Elsie Jo Smith, temperamental Miss Bellamy; Shirley Harris, bubbling Miss Massoula; Dickie Castlcberry, cigar-smoking and hard-headed Joe the circulation man; Dorthey Mae Smith, Mrs. 1'uilizki; Rochelle Blair, Mrs.

Weisgold; Wayne Lowrie, strong and silent mover; Dick Hanson, another mover with a swan neck and moronic expression, and Joe Nash, the Frenchie "Tim's Man," caterer extraordinary. Sets were constructed and painted by the students themselves, who also handled most of the other backstage labor, finances, ticket sales, make up a majority of the publicity. Rites Sef.

She is majoring in speech, with speech correction work her specialty.

After winning over 21 other contestants at Memphis, Miss Holland spent a month in New York, where 40 different outfits, all of cotton, were designed for her. Even the 15 pieces of luggage were of cotton, she said. Her itinerary included 34 major cities of this country, eight countries of Central and South America, and Western Europe. The dress she wore at the Rotary meeting was designed especially for her while she was in Paris, France, by Christian Dior. Mrs.

"Why hasn't this plan been used? Because it's simple, inexpensive and effective," he said. Dr. Nyaradi said the Soviet's greatest danger to the U.S., besides their state of mind, Is that they are still able to cause confusion all over the world. "Our Indifference to this threat helps Stalin more than the American Communist Party," he said. "But as long as the U.S.

exists, the mere existence is a nightmare to the Kremlin," he noted. He declared that we must be alert. "If the government' collapses there is no armor that could protect the jewels this country the jewels of freedom and prestige." Dr. Nyaradi was introduced by Dr. Sam McAllster, director of the government department at NTSC.

Jones, executive editor of the Herald-Journal and Herald American of Syracuse, N. protested that the net effect would be to suppress news to which the American public was entitled. The editors, in a letter to Joseph Short, the President's press secretary, said they understood, that genuine security information should be withheld. But they asked what guarantee there was that those carrying out the order would confine it to that. They declared: "We strongly oppose an executive order which formally desig- nates.each head of a government agency an authority to classify information as injurious to national security without definition of what breaches national security, and without appeal or review." The Associated Press Managing Editors Association, meeting in San Francisco last Sept.

29, des- scribed the directive as a "danger- out instrument of news suppression" and called on the President to rescind it. This year's free chest X-ray program will begin in Denton on April 25 and continue through May 13, Charles W. Hoover of the State Health Department in Austin said here Tuesday. The unit will be set up at both colleges and at the Palace Theatre, the latter through the courtesy of Interstate Manager J. P.

Harrison, he added. During the program, every city and county adult over 15 years of age is invited to get a free chest X-ray. Approximately 37,000 Denton Ounty citizens have received free X-rays during the 1948-52 period, Hoover continued. He spoke before representatives of 50 city and county organizations. Among those X-rayed, he said, 473 definite or suspicions cases of tuberculosis were found and also 190 cases of oilier types of chest abnormalities, including heart trouble, scholiosis and lung tumors.

Local anrl county X-ray services are provided by the Denton County Tuberculosis Association and the Denton County Medical Society in with the State Department of Heaiiii. "X-ray services are not charity, the official omphasized, "The expenses of the unit are paid for from state funds paid by Denton County people.
