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.

Hoover UN Suggestion
Rapped by Leadership
New York, Apr. 29 U.P
The Hoover plan to force the
Russians out of the United Na
tions would greatly boost the
danger of a new war, the two
leading groups devoted to
strengthening the UN said to-dav.
Former Undersecretary of
State Sumner Welles, honorary
president of the American As
sociation for the UN, issued a
statement with other AAUN of
ficers contending that the pro
posal of former President Her
bert Hoover "might end the last
opportunity for an agreement
which would prevent a third
world war."
The United World Federalists
issued a companion statement at
an unprecendented joint news
conference branding the Hoover
plan as "dangerously enticing"
and "unrealistic."
The UWF statement said that
east-west tension, "which must
be resolved if man is to remain
a living species . . . will not
be eased by turning our backs
upon each other and freezing tne
cold war into a permanent cleav
age that only a hot war could
dissolve."
