Henry V Opens At
Melba Theatre
Mail orders are now being accept-
ed for the exclusive Dallas engage-
ment of William Shakespeare’s
“Henry V” which opens at the Melba
Theatre at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday
afternoon May 29. Mail orders
should be accompained by self-ad-
dressed, stamped envelope. The tech-
nicolor film, starring- Laurence Oli-
vier in the title role; is sponsored
by New York’s fame Theatre Guild.
It will be shown twice daily, includ-
ing*' Sunday, 2:30 and 8:30 p.m.,

Academy Award citation, the motion
picture has been named the Best
Film of the year by Life Magazine
and The National Board of Review.
Mr. Olivier, who also produced and
directed, likewise received the Best
Male Performance award.
“Henry V” marks a distinct depar-
ture in the production of a Shake-
spearian play. In many ways it is
a “photographed play’’ which shifts
to motion picture technique when-
ever the scenes demanded by Shake-
speare are too vast in size and im-
portance to be protra.yed adequately
in a playhouse. The film has all the

How to Cheer Up Hallway
M’ANY of us who live in homes
*■ A that were built some years, ago
ind ourselves troubled by a spa-
cious hall or a stairway landing that
we don’t quite know what to do with.
We are aware, of course, that all
that space ought to be usable but
ihe means just never occurs to us.
I’ve been giving that problem
some thought and have arrived at
a solution after seeing some of the
new model cedar hope chests that
are becoming increasingly available.
All you will need is a cedar chest in
a console model, a wall mirror, and
a vase of flowers to bring new in-
terest to the hitherto neglected “in-
between” space in your home.
In addition to its charm, a cedar
chest provides a surprising amount
of storage space for treasured
linens', woolens, furs, and fabrics of
all kinds. As you doubtless know,
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
has explained that the aroma of red
cedar heartwood, which we find so
delightful, is deadly to moths, par-
alyzing the larvae so that they are
completely unable to nibble at deli-
cate fabrics. And, because they are
airtight, the cedar hope chests of
today are an effective safeguard
against dust, too, assuring you that
your fine linens will be as fresh for
a dinner party as they were when
you tucked them away.
Mrs. K. A. Aldrich, who has read
the Mesquiter for fifty years, former-
ly lived in Mesquite. As Miss Jennie
Dunbar, she married Roy Futrell,
a highly esteemed man who died
many years ago. She later married
Mr. Aldrich an employee of the city.
Mrs. Aldrich, now a widow, lives at
the Juliett Fowler Home in Dallas,
a lovely . place operated by the
Christian Church, where she is very
comfortable, she says. Nothing is left
undone to make the elderly people
happy, Mrs. Aldrich reports. Mrs.
Charles E. Gross, a friend of Mrs.
Aldrich and a subscriber to the Mes-
quiter, is sending the paper to her.
Mrs. Gross is a sister John E. Davis,
long time owner of the Mesquiter,
and wife of Charles E. Gross, for-
merly of Mesquite. The Davis and
Gross families were pioneer families
in this part of the county. News of
the Gross boys would be of interest
to the readers, Mrs. Gross!
Mrs. H. E. Enlow and Mrs. Bill
Morris and son, Johnny were lun-

Are you planning to pick up and picnic this week end? Then
I know you’re hoping, as I am, for warm, sunny weather. But
if it should turn out be chilly or rainy, don’t let that inter-
fere with your plans. Go ahead and have your picnic anyhow
S' ... at home. That way your family won’t feel let down, and
you won’t have to rustle up a regular meal at the last minute.
THIRST AID
It’s no picnic being thirsty on a
picnic, so be sure to take plenty of
refreshing soft drinks on your out-
ing! You’ll find a big variety of
“whistle wetters” at your A&P . ..
////,/// each as enjoyable
as the other, and
all thriftily priced.
•Make A&P your
thirst aid head-
quarters !
QUICK AND SUCK
If you go in for campfire cookery,
you’ll get yards of enjoyment from
ENCORE Prepared SPAGHETTI.
It’s mighty good cooked at home
on the range, too, so get a few cans
at the A&P. Made with a tasty
sauce of tomatoes, spices and
cheese, all you have to do is heat
it. And_ if you want an extra
hearty dish for 8 hearty eaters,
combine 2 cans of this swell spa-
ghetti with 2 cans of red beans;
mix well in a skillet; add 2 tsps.
of chili powder, and heat thor-
oughly. Add green pepper and
onion rings if you like ’em. Grand

SWANK FOR SALADS

vegetable salad that ever went
a-picnicking, try this tangy dress-
ing made with WHITE HOUSE
MILK, the creamy-rich evaporated
milk sold at the A&P. Just blend
% tsp. prepared mustard, % tsp.
salt, 2 tsps. sugar, a dash of cay-
enne and 1 cup undiluted WHITE
HOUSE EVAPORATED MILK.
Add 1 tbsp. vinegar gradually*
stirring till thick. Enough for 8
servings of salad.

Where there’s a grill, there’s a
way . . . to enjoy MARVEL
HAMBURGER ROLLS iik their
special role of partners for sizz-
ling hamburgers. But even if your
picnic equipment
doesn’t include a
grill, these deli-
cious, freshly
baked rolls from

big he-man sandwiches of all kinds
