Friday.
Heard one of the members of
the Houston Grand Opera say after
first rehearsals of staging of "Don
Carlo" it looked to him like it
would be a “clutch and curtsy’’
opera... . know they had a rare
time taking directions from the
Italian stage director who spoke
no English. Guess they did well if
they understood enough to clutch
and curtsy.
Visited with Chuck Chalmers,
formerly of Pine Street in Bellaire,
at a ‘Meller Dramer’performance
in Market Square Sunday night.
He said fine things about our
paper -- saying three years ago
when he advertised his car for
sale, a man drove all the way in
from Odessa the very next day to
buy it, a reader who had moved
there and took his paper subscrip-
tion along.
Shucks, Mr. Chalmers, we have
readers in many parts of the world.
The Chalmers girl Susan is now
assisting at the Children’s Zoo and
wildly happy with all those cuddly
animals. She’s had a fewproblems
with small bites, and even caught
a case of mange at one time!
But she loves it!
