FRIENDLY FRUIT STORE 601 Hillsboro Street Phone 23212 FAIVCY FRUITS and VEGETABLES There have been many stories about DUKE ELLINGTON’S great capacity for work. Six nights a week he leads his band at the Aquarium—which means special work on new arrange- : ments, preparations for nightly broadcasts, and the thousand and one details that take up the time of a successful bandleader. Dur- S ing the days, when not running a music publishing firm, Elling- ; ton participates in the casting, i rehearsal and production of his ' forthcoming Broadway show, “Beggar’s Opera,” which opens within a month. And when not occupied with such mundane things as eating and sleeping, this great artist is putting the finishing touches on the new “Deep South Suite” which he will introduce at his November concert in Carnegie Hall. The Joe Mooney Quartet will be heard on the ABC network, Monday nights at 10:15 p.m. EST, for a period of thirteen weeks. The programs will ema nate from the Club Dixon in New York where the quartet is currently engaged, and the com mentary will be provided by none other than Paul Whiteman. With such “finds” to his credit as Bing Crosby, Jane Froman, Martha Tilton, and Jack Tea garden, Whiteman has publicly predicted that the Joe Mooney Quartet will soon be recognized as “the greatest musical dis covery in more than a decade.” AMBASSADOR THEATRE NOW PLAYING "THREE LITTLE GIRLS IN BLUE" In Technicolor with JUNE HAVER VIVIAN BLAINE Sunday—Monday—T uesday "TWO GUYS FROM MILWAUKEE" with DENNIS MORGAN JOAN LESLIE Starts Wednesday "MY DARLING CLEMENTINE" with HENRY FONDA LINDA DARNELL State Theatre NOW PLAYING "THE OUTLAW" with JANE RUSSELL JACK BERTEL WALTER HOUSTON THOMAS MITCHELL Saturday Late Show and Sunday—Monday—T uesday "BATCHELOR'S DAUGHTERS" with Gail Russell - Claire Trevor Wednesday—Thursday "Madonna's Secret" with Gail Patrick Frances Lederer SPECIAL MESSAGE TO SLICK CHICKS For rug cutting — coke dating — class going — or dorm lounging — never for get that the sharpest, smoothest, most outstanding clothes in Raleigh come from . . .
