that the Thalihn Association’s in

out, with hundreds of people being
turned away from the doors, that

almost everyone in town a chance
to see a play which compared fav

witnessed.

Hungarian-born Romberg, the
author, is famous for his operettas
which have qualities which “a
symphony orchestra would con
sider low-brow and a jazz orches
tra high-brow.” He succeeded in
composing such universally popu
lar operettas as “Blossom Time,”
“The Desert Song,” “Maytime,”
“My Maryland,” and “The Student
Prince.” In all he composed over
70 operettas. Also he is an accom
plished pianist and does much
radio, film and concert work.
Mingled among the light melod
ies of “New Moon” are the well
known “Lover Come Back To Me,”
“Stout-Hearted Men,” “Softly As
In A Morning Sunrise,” “Wanting
You,” and the all-time favorite
“One Kiss.”
Eugene Mauney will accompany
the operetta throughout the per
formance.
The dances are under the direc
tion of the Belcher studios.
Snakes have a protective storm
window over their eyes—a trans

organ from scratches and injuries.

Hi H
America Sits OnTop
of the World.....
Nothing can better typify America than a
boy; for America is young, compared with the
other nations of the world. And the vigorous
optimism that is characteristic of youth is this
nation's abundant heritage. The boy locks to
the future with faith and hope. America, too,
views the days that lie ahead with confidence
and trust. With her cities unmarked by war,
with her resources still abundant, America sits
on top of the world.
The Home *is the cornerstone of American
Life. And it is the duty of each of us to keep
that home comfortable and cheerful so that we
shall better be able to solve the problems that
lie ahead.
For better furniture and home furnishings
