FORT WORTH FIESTA
Riverside H. D.
“Add a pinch of alum to water for
keeping flowers fresh longer,” said
Mrs. J. M. Fair in a joint meeting of
the Riverby and Johnson clubs Thurs-
day, June 17, in the Monkstown
church.
If flowers seem wilted put them in-
to fresh, cool water up to their noses
so that they may have a drink and a
bath as well. When flowers are
thoroughly freshened arrange them in
vases, but do not crowd them. The

How would you like to sing “Sweet
Adoline” with the man who composed
it playing the accompaniment? You
can when you attend the Fort Worth
Fiesta and see Melody Lane where
eight composers each play their com-
positions and all join in the chorus.
The other seven numbers played are
Piccolo Pete, Home on the Range,
Margie, I Wonder Who’s Kissing Her
Now, Avalon, 12th Street Rag and
Melancholy Baby. This event is in the
building occupied by Jumbo last year.
Firefly Gardens where the Salici
Puppets perform will give you £>
pleasant bit of entertainment and
amaze you with the seemingly im-
possible performance by puppets.
The free show inside the arena used
last year by The Last Frontier is
alone worth the price of admission.
This is called Flirting With Death and
gives trapeze performances and other
hair raising stunts.
Of course the main attraction this
year as last is Casa Manana. Those
who opened their mouths in awe at
last year’s performances will need to
Otis, extend them farther for this year’s
show which began Saturday night far
excels Billy Rose’s previous efforts.
The show is all new and greatly en-
larged. Paul Whiteman and his
orchestra play for the performance.
Harry Lee’s orchestra furnishes music
for spectators to dance on the revolv-
ing stage. Everett Marshall sings and
Harrett Hoctor dances. Novelty
Egyptian dances and clowning are en-
joyable. The Cabin Kids of movie
fame go through their songs with the
youngest scratching his head and
joining in on the last note.
Casa Manana is based on the year’s
four best sellers. Gone With the Wind,
Lost Horizon, Wake Up and Live, and
It Can’t Happen Here. The sets for
each are massive and attractive and
the revolving stage is a necessity. The
dance routines are new and the cos-
tumes quite original. Additional
lighting effects greatly increase this
year’s effects.
The Bonham Chamber of Commerce
has tickets for the Fiesta.
