“Convention Capers,” the lusty revue ’which the Dunn 1
Lions Club is presenting at Dunn High School audito- 1
rium tomorrow night, is slated to begin at 8 p. m. 1
Johnnie Cicoone. the dlredtor,
was pulling soberly on his cigarette
last night as he brought the cast
through a dress rehearsal and pre
pared them for tomorrow big show.
Little Becky Hill of Lillington,
child hillbilly star, looked a show
stopper at the dress rehearsal. Sing
ing In a voice that sounds like a
combination of Teresa Brewer and
Baby Snooks, she went through a
faultless rendition of “Tennessee
Wig-Walk.”
LIKE MARILYN
Another incipient show-6topper
was Betty Lou Kirby. Betty Lou,
a blond high school girl, will do an
imitation of Marilyn Monroe. She
uses Marilyn's voice (on a record)
but other accessories are stricUy
Betty’s own. With the footlights on
her, the imitation is close enough
to impress Joe Dimaggio.
TTiaVs not all, by any means. The
Lions’ have put together an im
pressive assemblage for their an
nual home talent show, and not the
least feature will be female imper
sonation* by some men who are
hilariously incompetent at it.
GUEST ENTERTAINERS
Guest entertainers who will be
featured include Ann Hockaday,

from Lord Beaverbrook’s Sunday j
Express , which questioned the ,
