Scenes In Store Windows
If Protests Are Lacking.
After his plan for a public
wedding had been ruled out be
cause of protests, Jack Matlack
bounced back yesterday with a
new feature for the Christmas
opening of Mcdford stores on
November 26.
Matlack, director of the open
ing celebration, said he would
feature living models in store
windows for the opening pro
vided there are no protests
against this idea. If no objec
tions are registered by 9 a. m.
Tuesday, Matlack will proceed
with arrangements to carry out
the idea, he said.
This is how the Idea works,
Matlack explained: in a drug
store window a mother will be
seen going through the actions
of giving Junior a much-needed
dose of castor oil while daugh
ter Mary waits to have first aid
administered for bruises suffer
ed when she fell down the
basement stairs.
Out For Evening
In a women's apparel store
window Milady will be seen
preparing to go out for the eve
ning to a formal event and
later returning and reversing
the process to retire, Matlack
continued. In furniture store
windows a family will be seen
at home for the night, dad
sunk comfortably in the big
easy chair reading the evening
newspaper, the children sprawl
ed on the floor playing with
their new Christmas toys and
mother knitting patiently and
contentedly before the fireplace.
Just as though mothers did such
things any more, Matlack re
Jated. And so it goes: Madame
getting beautified in a beauty
salon, Joe College meeting with
setbacks because of haste to get
dressed for a special date, his
dressing to be done in a men'
shop window, and fathers and
mothers being conducted on
tours of toyland In department
store windows.
Director Ducks
All the characters in these
window portrayals will be real
persons, Matlack emphasized.
After announcing the new feat
ure, he ducked into a bomb
proof shelter Just In case any
more explosive protests rent
his usually calm demeanor.
Assuming there will be no
protests, Matlack scheduled the
unveiling of the windows on his
Christmas opening show for
6:30 p. m., the curtains to be
rung down again at 8 p. m.
The shades on all store windows
are to be drawn at noon so that
the windows can be dressed for
the unveiling, he stated.
