RAIN CON*T
chips sending us on a mad dash for the
rain shelter...I am lying beneath a can^)
tent deep in the woods carefully dodging
a small trickle from a tiny hole in the
canvas as the soft raindrops lull me to
sleep.,.I am looking out the window of
my uncle * s house after a storm broke up
a barbecue party awed by the size of the
hailstones denting the hoods of the cars
crouched in the downpour....! am yet old
er, sitting by the window remembering the
happy days of youth and laughter and there
is a sadness in the swish of the rain.a
blue sound as it strikes the leaves. I
am an adialt now and the care-free child
waves good-by from a distant hill of yes
terday.
A child’s contentment, the joy of
youth, the sadness of realization that
one is a child no longer—-all are re
flected in the soft, summer raindrops#
How quickly the years skip by, cascading
down the falls of memory as the thunder
nmibles in the distance and the blue rain
soaks gently into the earth.
The gentle, summer breeze
Whispers in the trees.
The blue, siammer rain
Strikes the window-pane.
As I sit here
Watching the rain drops
Echoes^ Echoes I hear
Singing in the tree tops.

GALAX
THEATRE
TUE
AUG 2
America’s favorite cartoon strip,
"Li'l Abner," which became one of Broad
way's most successful musical comedies,
had been adapted by the authors of the
show, Melvin Frank and Norman Panama, in
to a big-screen. Technicolor extravagan
za, which plays Tuesday, August 2nd, at
the Galax Theatre. The Paramount produc
tion goes a great deal further in recreat
ing the wacky, wonderful world conceived
by A1 Capp, clever originator of the car
toon strip, than was possible by the lim
ited confines of the stage. All the hi
lariously funny, off-beat characters
whose zany actions have held the interest
of the nation's comics readers for years,
will be seen in the flesh, twice as funny
as their line-drawing comterparts, and
in positively amazin’ action.
Li'l Abner "hisselfbig, brawny,
but alas, not too brainy—is portrayed
by Peter Palmer. The luscious Daisy Mae
is personified by curvaceous Leslie Par
rish, former model who was NBC color girl.,
Marryin* Sam is played by the rotund, won
derful comedian of "Guys and Dolls" fame.
Stubby Kaye; the bombastic General Bull-
moose by veteran stage star Howard St.
John| and Stupefyin* Jones, the girl guar
anteed to stupefy anyone, by fabulous
Julie Newmar.
