TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday. April 30. 19J8 Are You Happy! Club Joined by Group for Women Joe Neil, the Irrepressible man who has dreamed up such stuff as the "Are You Happy" club, the self-imposed "Flying Furni ' ture Man," and another flight of fancy which is still on Joe's top- secret list, has come up with another screwball idea. This time it's a bow in the direction of the ladies. It seems Joe's wife was getting more and more irritated at his constant round of ideas ana activities. So Joe sat down and formed the "Swell Girl Club." Patently patterned after the "Are You Happy" club, the new organization has a membership card of a mauve color, and cer tifies" that the bearer is a "swell girl." Rules Listed On the back of the card is set of qualifications and rules that make no particular sensi hut. what did vou exDCCt? Membership is selected only by nomination plus the usual small fee to cover printing and mailing charges and if a girl becomes a member 01 me ciud, she can well show her card to her girl friends. Card No. 1 went to Mrs. Neil. Apparently she liked it because Joe was grinning yesterday, as becomes the president of the "Happy" club. Card No. 2 went to Her Honor Dorothy McCullough Lee, mayor of Portland. 'Torch Bearers' Said Uproarious, Spoofs 'Theater' May 11 and 12 are the dates set by the Footlighters, civic the ater organization, for production of "The Torch Bearers," now in rehearsal, according to Lenore Zapell, director. When the American "little the ater movement," through the pen of Satirist George Kelly, set out to kid itself, it did so with merci less wit, according to those who have witnessed rehearsals of the production, a three act comedy to be presented at the Mcdford senior high school. Started 1922 Presented for a long run at the J Vanrierbilt theater, New York, I In 1922. The Torch Bearers was . Playwright Kelly's first long play, and not only "broke all the I rules" of theater writing, but was a hit. 1 The original cast was headed i by Comedienne Alison Skip- worlh in the role of the Imper , ious Mrs. Pabpinelli, to whom even death was "no excuse for I not going on with the show. Supporting her were such other ' notables as Mnry Boland, Arthur Shaw, Booth Howard and Doug- , las Garden. Conflict in the piece evolves from the antagonism between a husband and the militant Mrs. Pampinilll who la "starring" his obviously untolentcd wife. The play, with a cast of 12, is rich in characterizations, uproarious hokum and the authentic mirror ing of life behind scenes in the "theater movement," Footlight ers say. Tickets went on sale this week at Pruitt's Music store and at Olson's Furniture company. They may also be obtained from mem bers of the Footligliters.
