tiddler on the Were A Rich Man were among the evening highlights Roof for the Old Tyme Music Hall held In Georgetown This wosn a talent show although the acta ranging from Broadway musical hits to the corniest ploys had just as much variety And It would be unfair after all it was really done In fun to list singers or acton who particularly shone in the show Things got underway with a little family

complete without one of those farcical stilted versions of the sweet little girl ng and eventually overcoming at least in this Music Hall herself and her mentor Mary The Magnates Daughter Invited lots of laughter and plenty of the same hisses boos and groans which fill movie theatres today This flaky bit of drama tracing very roughly the perils of the singing heroine hurtling westward In clutches

maintained that old atmosphere which carried Summerfest to Its successful conclusion If em Id photos by Chris Periodically the Old Music Hall how at church bill a primitive Adam Joe would make some
