JOHN DAVIDSON will return for his fourth star-
ring role in a DaMas Summer Musicals production,
brought back by popular demand following his tri-
umphs in former musicals, “Carousel,” "I Do! 1 Do!”
and "Camelot.” This year he opens the Musicals first
season in the new Music Hall, June 12 thru 24, as Curly
in “Oklahoma!”—a role in which he broke the New
York City Center attendance record
The rest of the five-show Summer Musicals season
is equally exciting: three other locally produced shows:
Alexis Smith in the recent Broadway hit, “Applause,”
June 26-July 8; Ricardo Montalban in “The King and
I," July 10-22; and Herschel Bernardi in his great role
as Tevye in “Fiddler on the Hoof," July 24-Aug 5;
plus a new Bob Banner spectacular, Peggy Fleming in
“A Concert on Ice.”
As an extra to celebrate the return of the Musicals
after a year's absence, producer Tom Hughes secured
one week engagements of two specials: Carol Channing
in her new show, "Lorelei,” Aug. 7 thru 12; and a
"Mitzi Gaynor Show” Aug. 14-19.

ever-popular Rodgers and

the original production, but with
major changes in the ballet
style, form and setting.
John Davidson has won a se-
cure place for himself in a
variety of careers; as singer,
night club entertainer, televis-
ion star and master of cere-
monies, and in leading roles in
a niuc variety of musicals.
Texas Power & Light Company has a
long solid history of providing its
customers with reliable eiectnc power at
the lowest price consistent with good
service The Company wants electricity to
always be one of the biggest barga ns m
your budget
However there are circumstances
beyond our control which indicate future
electric rate increases are inevitable
Higher Cost of Fuels The dim,rushing
supply of natural gas and fuel oh has
pushed the prices of these generating
plant fuels to new highs and is
significantly increasing the cost of
producing electricity TP&L s fue b w*-
over $40 million last year 30°ohighe'
than in 1971 and it sexpected to be
higher in 1973
Higher Cost of Construction Beca . v- /
today s energy crisis new generating
plants must be built to operate with other
fuels such as lignite and nuclear
materials These plants are much more
costly to build than gas-fueled ones but
to assure you an ample supply of electric
power m the future construction of new
facilities is essential - and must be done
even though TP&L faces additional rising
costs for labor materials and land
Higher Cost of Financing The rising cost
of money needed to finance new plants
and other facilities has been increasing
a* a staggering rate
a of these circumstances are beyond
0ur control - and they make producing
yo s e*ectricity much costliei than ever
before However TP&L will continue to
use every practical method and every
possible efficiency to keep the price of
electricity low and still provide you with
dependable electric service m the
years ahead

stone arrived here Thursday

Davidson set a box-office re-
cord at the New York City
Center.
His earlier performances in
Dallas were three hits: his
Billy Bigelow in the 1968 Musi-
cals’ “Carousel”, his tour de
force in the two-per son musical
“1 Do, I Do” in 1970 and his
sensitive portrayal of King Ar-
thur in 1971’s “Camelot”.
“Oklahoma” needs no intro-
duction to the Dallas Summer
Musicals audience, though it has
not been produced there since
1966, when Allen Case played
Curly. But ever since its orig-
inal Broadway opening in 1943,
where it ran for over five years
to amass a record 2,202 per-
formances, "Oklahoma” has
been a favorite in theatres all
over the world. It’s familiar
rural Oklahoma setting is the
background for the love and
drama that brings the marriage
of Laurey and Curly.
Playing Laurey in Dallas will
be Sue lien Estey, with Martin
Yidnovic as Jud. With them will
be a stellar cast selected care-
fully by producer Tom Hughes
to fulfill his goal for this “Ok-
lahoma” — that it be filled
with the youth and vibrance of
Almost one-half million
Americans age 65 and over
who were previously ineligible
for Hospital Insurance under
Medicare can no enroll on a
voluntary basis, according to
Bill Hall, manager of the
Greenville Social Security Of
fice.
TTiose who enroll on a vol-
untary basis must pay a pre-
mium of $33 per month TTh'
Hospital Insurance under Med
icare pays for an entire hos
pita I stay of 60 days except
for a $72 deductible If a pa
tient must stay in the hospital
longer than 60 days Medicare
pays for the next 30 days ex-
cept for the first $18 per day
If the stay exceeds 90 days
there is a lifetime reserve of
60 days at $36 per day Pay-
ment for stays in extended
care facilities and home health
visits, are also covered under
this program.
Those eligible for social se-
curity or those who had
enough wor kto qualify do not
have to pay any premium for
Hospital Insurance although
the part of Medicare which
helps pay doctor bills and oth-
er covered medical expenses
always did have a premium
In addition to the usual qual
lficiations, that is to be age
65 or over and be a citizen or
an alien admitted for perma-
nent residence, those who wish
to take advantage of the vol-
untary Hospital Insurance
must also enroll in the part of
Medicare which helps with
doctor bills and other covered
medical services The pre-
mium for this insurance will
be $6 30 per month in July
when the premium health in-
surance is first effective
People who are already age
65 have until Aug 31, 1973 to
enroll. Those not yet age 65
have a period beginning three
months before their birthday,
the month of their birthday
and the three months follow-
ing their birthday
Editor,
Cooper Review
Dear Sir:
In case you may consider the
subject of this letter a matter
of interest for y air news paper
this is to inform you of asocial
event that occurred in Cooper
last weekend on Saturday, June
9.
1 am a member of Beta Sig-
ma Phi Sorority, Omega Omi-
cron Chapter in Dallas. 1 am
also their recording secretary.
I have been a member for one
year. It is possible you have a
chapter in or near your own
area. In the event you are not
familiar with Beta Sigma Phi,
their international office head-
quarters in Kansas City , Mo. It
is an organization of young
women in search of cultural and
social activity - including many
charitable projects, such as
helping support retarded chil-
dren at Denton State School,
Denton, (in our particular chap-
ter) and delinquent children in
various correctional institut-
ions. This is only to name one of
our most important projects. It
would take much too long to
detail the many phases of Beta
Sigma Phi. I think our motto,
“Life, Learning and Friend-
ship” sums lp the purpose of
our organization. I would just
like to say it is a very impor-
tant part of my life, as it is for
thousands of women around the
world.
About 1 1/2 years ago my
husband, Max, a Civil Engineer
at Ford, Bacon, and Davis, Inc.
in Garland, purchased one-half
interest in a farm in Cooper on
FM 64 (between Cooper and
Antioch) formerly owned by
Dahl Hurley for many years
and still farmed by Orville
Thurman ( a Pecan Gap resi-
dent). Max’s brother, Jim Mar-
is, owns the other half of the
farm. We have greatly enjoyed
the relaxation the farm pro-
vides on the weekends and ap-
prec iate the friendly atmos-
phere the people in Cooper
create, and we like to share
this with our children and
friends.
Therefore, Max and I consid-
ered the farm a most appro-
priate place to host our chap-
ter’s June social which was a
cookout. Twenty-eight people
attended. including fourteen
members and their husbands
or dates. The activities began
at 2 p.m. with outdoor games
and concluded around 9 p.m.
All members live in either
North Dallas or Richardson,
and had to allow an hour to
drive back home.
We hope you will consider
our social a worthy contribut-
ion to your newspaper. Also,
my husband and 1 would like a
subscription to I he Cooper Re-
view.
Sincerely,
Jan Maris
