The ANAHEIM GAZETTE Women's News Churchwomen At Mountain The women of the First Baptist Church of Anaheim will be enjoying a weekend "away from household chores and other du The ANAHEIM GAZETTE Women's News ILA JONES Women's Editor Thursday, April 9, 1964 The Gazette—3 KEEPING UP WITH JONES By ILA JONES FOR MOST OF US, last Tuesday was just another day with the drab routine carrying us along to the time when we would sit, relax and listen and be entertained by one of the top singers in the country at the Melodyland Theatre. But for a young, beautiful fresh-looking teenager, Barbara Taylor of Long Beach, the night will never be forgotten. The evening started slowly with the Maldonado Dancers. They have a Las Vegas-type show, but it leaves much to be desired, especially on stage at Melodyland. The pace was quickened instantly as CORBETT MONICA took over and captivated the audience holding their undivided attention for more than 40 minutes. This young smooth-talking man reminds you of the comedians who work to entertain the audience and not for the self-gratification of hearing himself talk or his own laughter to prove he is funny. In my frank opinion the name of the TV show Corbett appears each week should be the "Corbett Monica Show" and Fisher was great. JUST A COUPLE OF NOTES for the arty set, First, the Anaheim Art Association is holding an exhibit at Smith-Reafsnyder (Anaheim Blvd. just north of Center) through April 18. Most of these paintings are well worth your time to browse around and the prices are fair for original paintings. Second, I received a notice of the La Mirada Annual Arts and Culture Festival being held April 30 to May 3. I usually do not mention outsiders but the message from Mayor Richard L. Danson printed on the program merits the time and space and can apply to Anaheim as well. "A city must be more than good streets and a good police department, a city must also have a spirit. This spirit is reflected in the cultural arts. It is our hope to bring culture and the community together on a common meeting ground as an everyday experience." For further information about the La Mirada musical, artistic Churchwomen At Mountain I The women of the First Baptist Church of Anaheim will be enjoying a weekend "away from household chores and other duties" as they journey to beautiful Lakeview Lodge at Forest Home, high in the San Bernardino Mountains, the weekend of April 10-12th, when they go on their annual "Women's Retreat". The theme this year is "THE KING REIGNS" which will be brought out in many interesting ways. They'll enjoy a "Walk with the King" as they go on a nature walk and see God's handwork as it really is. Someone will be crowned "Queen for a Day" during an exciting "telecast" planned. The "Queen's Buffet" on Saturday night will be in her honor. A pageant-type presentation is being planned on "Man's Search for the King"; and an interesting panel discussion on "The Woman's Place in the King's Court". The highlight of the weekend will be the message in song and Chi Unit Hosts Parliamentarians More than 100 members and guests of the twenty Southern California Units of the California State Association of Parliamentarians met for a regular quarterly area workshop and business meeting. A program covering the duties and responsibilities of secretaries will precede lunch and an afternoon business meeting. Host for these activities is the Chi Unit of the California State Association of Parliamentarians which meets regularly at 7:30 p.m., the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month at the California Federal Savings & Loans Building, Anaheim. Mrs. Mark McMahon, Santa Ana, is president of this Unit. captivated the audience holding their undivided attention for more than 40 minutes. This young smooth-talking man reminds you of the comedians who work to entertain the audience and not for the self-gratification of hearing himself talk or his own laughter to prove he is funny. In my frank opinion the name of the TV show Corbett appears each week should be the "Corbett Monica Show" and not the "Bishop Show." Following intermission, the star, EDDIE FISHER, began a lively show of song favorites of Jolson, continued with Allen J. Lerner compositions and ended with his big hits including "Anytime" and "Oh, My Papa." For a time there was a feeling he had lost the audience and the 360 degree stage definitely was foreign to him, but he walked up Aisle 16 and sang to this pretty little girl, Barbara Taylor. She was so shy and looked down; but his words, "Look at me," held her spellbound until the conclusion of the song. After this time, the audience was his. The lighthearted jokes, the songs, the monologue were part of the act, but those three words brought out EDDIE FISHER, the human being. I hope the audience of the Melodyland Theatre will soon come to realize that performers like Eddie have given their "all" around this whole world and may have never played on a circular stage. People are creatures of habit and the words, the melodies and the routines come hard enough before 3000 people without having to think constantly about which way you are facing. Let's be grateful for the fine performances we have been given in Anaheim at the Melodyland Theatre with its stage "in the round" and give the actors a chance. I for one thought Eddie "A city must be more than good streets and a good police department, a city must also have a spirit. This spirit is reflected in the cultural arts. It is our hope to bring culture and the community together on a common meeting ground as an everyday experience."

SOMEONE EVIDENTLY liked Eileen Gilmore's wood sculpture, "Blue Heron" very much, for it disappeared from the art display at the Public Library on the second day of the showing last month. No questions will be asked if it is just overdue and would be dropped off at the Library. No late charge either! Show you believe in Anaheim, get out and VOTE for city councilmen, Tuesday, April 14.
