"Stagestruck" (The Romance of Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne) -- A biography by Maurice Zolotow Maurice Zolotow writes a intimate, dramatic and entertaining story of America's greatest acting couple, who in private life have been happily married for more than forty years. Offstage and on, the Lunts have lived in a world of gtuety and glamour, of people both fascinating and fatnous. Alfred Lunt's and Lynn Fontanne's intense dedication to their art and to each other, their soaring professional triumphs, their vitality and wit and relish for life are here related in a rich and wonderful book, which vividly reveals the vibrancy and enchantment of the actor's life. In its own way, it is an ebullient love letter to the American theater. "Mrs. 'Arris Goes to Parliament" by Paul Gallico - Adult Fiction Ada 'Arris, the world's bestloved char-lady, a member of parliament giving the House of Commons a dose of plain, simple common sense! Perhaps Mrs. 'Arris was dreaming when she imagined what she'd say to the members of Parliament, but Sir Wilmot Corrison was not when he conceived the idea of actually entering the dear char-lady's name in the race for a seat in that austere body. Of course, Sir Wilmot and his cronies hadn't the slightest intention of letting Mrs. 'Arris win. With customary story-telling mastery, Paul Gallico blends the comedy of a char-lady running for Parliament and the disaster of her being elected. "Help! I'm a Prisoner in a Chinese Bakery" by Alan King -- Adult Fiction The man who laid waste the suburbs in his best selling "Anybody Who Owns His Own Home Deserves It," now goes farther afield in a wickedly barbed, riotously funny attack on the sacred institutions, pompous professions, and furious frustrations of modern living that are fast closing in on us all.

St., McHenry (Across from Jewel Tea) "The Explorerer" by Frances Parkinson Keyes " Adult Fiction "The Exporer" is the rich, compelling story of Nicolas Hale, a transplanted Vermonter, as persevering as he is personable, whose inspiration is the great discovery of Machu Picchu* in Peru, by Hiram Bingham. Nicolas makes no claim .to being a great scientist himself, but he can follow their lead, all the way to a lost city submerged in a lake high among the Andes. His desire for a son to inherit his name and carry on his work impels him to propose to Margaret Porterfield, a lovely aristocratic Virginian, whom he visualizes as the type of woman he would choose for his son's mother. Nicolas has long been her ideal and she readily consents to a hasty marriage, five.days before his departure dn "a fresh venture in Peru. During the next five years they are together only intermittently at Hill's End in Virginia. Most of his time is spent in the Andes searching for the submerged city whose discovery will bring him lasting fame and fortune. His deter mination to reach his goal never falters, but meanwhile, the separation from his wife has serious consequences as far as their personal relationship is concerned. The outcome of both love affair and exploration will hold readers spellbound to the last page. Seldovia to- earn money to clear their Alaska homestead, the only job he could get was on a fishing boat. Dave took the job, at first just to make money, but gradually, as the summer progressed he began to feel that he was meant for the sea. There were problems and there was a mystery about his boat that Dave could not fathom. But even so, by the end of the summer, he was sure the sea was for him. Sense and right were on Dave's side, there was money in fishing and not in farming. Yet Dave's parents could not see it as he did. His battle for freedom made him a man, but almost cost him his family. "The Founding Father" The story of Joseph P. Kennedy by Richard J. Whalem Non Fiction This major biography tells the almost incredible story of Joseph P. Kennedy, grandson of a poor Irish immigrant and father of the thirty-fifth President of the United States. Kennedy amassed one of the largest American fortunes of the twentieth century, then used his wealth as the foundation of an unprecedented political dynasty. Though often at the center of controversy, he remained an intensely private man, perhaps the most talked about, least known American of our time. In this important work, an editor of Fortune magazine painstakingly reconstructs the many separate lives of this colorful and elusive figure. Author Richard J. Whalen's exhaustive research covered new and illuminating transcripts, letters, diaries, and documents. He also conducted scores of interviews with Kennedy's contemporaries. Close attention is given to Kennedy in the role of patriarch. It was as a father that he achieved his paramount success. Through his sons, the founder retrieved the status and power he had striven for and lost. All who have witnessed the Kennedys will find that this book indicates clearly the future direction and influence of a great American family. "You Only Live Twice" by Ian Fleming Adult Mystery . "You Only Live Twice" is the twelfth addition to the James Bond saga. Bond faces an unspoken ultimatum. He must make good on a vital mission to Japan or his career in the service will be finished. In this latest adventure novel, the inimitable Ian Fleming unfolds a spellbinding tale of the Orient and of James Bond's appointment with destiny in a place of easy death. "Fisherman's Choice" by Elsa Pedersen Youth and Junior Boys Fiction Dave Moffitt, 17, had never worked anywhere except on the family's farm. But the summer the Moffitts went to "Cheapest In The End" by Madeleine Bingham Fiction This is the author's keynote to the warm aind animated story of her family and especially of her handsome half-French father. Father, a member of a London decorating firm, had a roaring voice, a quick temper, and a robustious love of food, gardens, and home. If this did not make for a peaceful life, at least it never was a dull one. And the lively household that revolved around Father learned from him that life was not a self opening oyster, but that one had to take a knife and get on with it. There are hilarious episodes of travels abroad, of Father's shopping expeditions. And if sometimes there were disappointments and sorrow, Father had given his children a sense of family and of home, which is a sense of security, a raft to swim back to when the ship has sunk. FINE ARTS CLUB PLANS FORMATION OF CHORAL GROUP The Woodstock Fine Arts association announces plans for the formation of a county-wide choral group. Director of the select group of singers will be John Monkman, director of music at Kirkland high school in Kirkland. Mr. Monkman will be at the Woodstock Opera House on Sept. 16 and 23, beginning at 7:30 for auditions. Plans now call for weekly rehearsals in the Opera House with two tentative performances per year. Monkman states that the music used will be varied and will not emphasize one composer, but will encompass the wide range of music available for a group of twenty-five to thirty voices. Auditions are open to men and women, including sopranos, altos, tenors and basses. Anyone interested in the opportunity of singing good music under the direction of a vocal instructor is invited to attend either of the auditions. I SOU) IT THR0U6HIHE WANT ADS PROGRESS OF LIBRARY MADE KNOWN TO BOARD On Tuesday evening of this week, members of the City Council heard a report presented to members of the library board by four local librarians last week. Mrs. Lynn Stuart, Mrs. August Uttich, Miss Helen Stevens and Mrs. Louis Marchi were all present at the library meeting to inform on its progress since the enlarged and remodelled library opened its doors last January. Approximately 5,600 cards have been issued to patrons, with about 3,000 regular readers giving testimony to the popularity of the library. In the month of July alone, 4,575 books were issued and fines totalled a high $117. Board members were interested to learn of the success, of the inauguration of the Mc^ Naughton series, which enables the library to furnish best selling books to the local public soon after publication. These are books for which the library has space to own, but are available for a limited time to readers. A check for fifty dollars was presented from a series of bridge club meetings, and this sum will be used for dictionary stands. Miss Stevens spoke particularly about reference books and their influence on changing students' attitude. Mrs. Marchi, who has been spending some time at the local library to assist in setting up a reference library, explained the broad prospective of a library and how it serves all the public, young and old, for recreation and reference. She expressed the opinion that in the former aim, the McHenry library had succeeded, and was just now beginning to make progress in obtaining needed reference material. Since the library opened last Jan. 11, $1,400 in donations have been received. Board members expressed special satisfaction that almost without exception these were >small contributions by many people, thus showing an interest on the part of the public in.. the success of their library.
