THE BELLAIRE TEXAN
Wednesday, July 24, 1957
CHATTERBOX
BY MARY NORTON
Wc note that the folks over at;
the recreation department are
finding it hard to line up a young
man to play the part of the j
prince in their forthcoming pro- i
duction of “Snow White.”
Seems the teen-age boys here- |
abouts shy away from the scene
where they have to buss the
pretty miss who plays Snow
White—a situation which we feel
should be viewed with alarm in |
all quarters.
But let the Recreation

Department take he aft—and
take a cue from the Bellaire
Theatre Guild who open their
second community theatre un-
dertaking next week over in
Houston at the Playhouse*
The unemployment rate
being what it is among princes
and kings and such, they could
probably hire a genuine 14-
carat prince for a song. And
while they’re at it, they might
lease a castle someplace to
show off the prince In the
style to which he’s accustom-
ed.
Five-.venr-old Randy Smith
dropped by the Texan office the
other day with his mom, Mrs.
E. C. Smith, 5317 Valeric.
And like most small fry who
come our way, he was immed-
iately attracted to the gum ma-
chine.
"Mania, may I have a pen-
ny?” lie said several times,
while Mrs. Smith ignored him
—as Mama’s have an annoy-
ing habit of doing.
At length, his request took
on an insistent note—as un-
heeded requests of small boys
have an annoying habit of
doing.
“T don’t have a penny, Randy,”
said Mrs. Smith with carefully
enunciated firmness.
“Well, then, why don’t you
write a cheek?” suggested Randy
helpfully.
When the stork delivered twin
^ons for the Joe L. Neveuxs Inst
Wednesday at Hermann Hospital,
Mr. Nevcux did the customary
thing—he passed out cigars.
And so did 12-year-old big
brother Larry—b u b b 1 e gum
cigars, that is.
“He soon had quite a follow-
ing all over the neighborhood,
said his grandmother. Mrs.
Grare McCarthy who’s helping
run things at 5560 Aspen until
Mrs. Nevcux comes home from
the hospital.
The twins are Mirhael
Joseph, 4 lb., 12 oz., and
Timothy John, 4 lb., 5V6 oz.
The Neveuxs have a daughter,
Joan, 6.
Ho-hum . . . now comes photo-
grapher and fisherman Stan
Begam with a story of the big
one that not only got away but
took $53 worth of fishing gear
with him.
Stan and a friend, Howard
Walters, were fishing near Five
Mile Pass in Galveston Bay—
with considerable luck.
“Howard had never been
fishing before in his life and
right off he landed a five-
pound trout,” said Stan.
“We were catching fish right
along when I laid my rod
across the boat—with the hook
dangling in the water—while I
was opening a cool one.
“The next thing I knew my
rod was standing three feet in
the air then it disappeared over
the side. That darn fish took all
my fishing gear with him.”
