ular young women who comprise the Catholic Junior

the ki idifs acquitted themselves like real troupers...

tor Mattic T. Lewis and Miss Hazel Casserly of
Our Lady of the Lake college . . . Each number
precipitated bursts of applause from the none-too-
lari.'!-, but very appreciative audience that made up
in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers . . . All
in all it was a grand evening's entertainment and

Nearly a thousand persons wit-
nessed the Catholic Junior leagues
fapfrmd annual Kiddie Revue, last
Friday night, April 18, at the
Library auditorium, and were well
rewarded with nearly two hours
of unusual entertainment as groups
of talented, well trained, and col-
orfully costumed youngsters from
four to the middle teens went
through carefully prepared and
stagnl routines, and specialties.
The revue, predominated by the
Pan-American motif, was present- f ry £ .

acts, that carried the audience
through the stages of preparing
to embark, and Iteing on its way;
n sequence aboard ship: a cabaret
scene down South America way:
and the finale, at the Theatre V
Aiglon.
One of the high lights of the
show was the La Conga sequel,
with Joy re Dawson featured in
the solo role.
Another particularly outstanding
number w a s chorographic ren
dition of "Go Down, Moses," with
off stage singing of the well-known
spiritual by Allix James.
The very essence of euteness
was tiny four year-old Sylvia
Yvonne Adams' version of the
rhumba, her Iteing daringly togged
a la Carmen Miranda, bare midriff
and all.
One of the opening numbers,
"Liberty Parade." with the entire
east. and with Halois James sing-
ing "God Bless America." was the
most colorful numlter of the show.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal.—Because of
the humiliation they suffered at
the hands of the mother of Bob
Burns, the famous radio and
.screen comedian, Mrs. Mable
Loreuz is heading a group of wom-
en who have launched a boycott
of the Kraft Cheese program upon
which Burns appears.
According to Mrs. Lorent, she
and her guests, consisting of two
carloads, stopped off for a short
stay with her relatives in Okla-
homa. Inasmuch as Van Buren
was but a short distance across
the Arkansas river from their
[lnont from a figure in public life
\who depends almost solely on it
^fnceret^ home, she has
prevailed upon the city's power-
ful beauticians' group, her friends,
and civic organizations to begin
an immediate boycott of Burns*
pictures. Ho is n Paramount
