Hundreds Are Turned Away From What
Proved The Greatest Surprise Hit
Of The 1946 Season
Saturday, Dec. 14, and Sun¬ day, 'Dec. 15, Will always re¬ main memorable dates for the doltimbus Jewish community, for when the curtain came down last Sunday night on the final performance of "Pack Up Tour Trebles", the smash hit Variety Revue sponsored and presented by the Columbus Chapter of B'nal Brith Women, patrons at both performances were unanimous in their ap: proyall Culminating"tl\e Eighth Annual Fund iRaising Appeal of the B'nai Brith Women, this extravagant Musical Show liter¬ ally took -Columbus by storm, and to all who were turned away Sunday night, because of the ruling of the Fire Marshall that no standing room could be sold, we can only say, "'Better luck next year".
Under the capable direction of Jerry Grodln, with miiSic being handled by talented Aar¬ on Cohen and orchestra, with striking and beautiful darxe ar¬ rangements i'lii chajge'of Dor-

Hams, Dave- S'eei'cr aiid Heijry Rosenthal and 81s Levin- son, a company of 85 men and women proved "that amateur -productions can be interesting, amusing- and worthwhile. Hit of the show was the chorus of 60, whose rendition of original and fascinating musical.arrange¬ ments of new and old tun^ left the audience gasping. Omitted from the Souvenir Program book were the names of Miriam Barban (Mrs. Ben Barban) and Ciara Paine (Mrs. Morris Painei who were among the ladles of the chorus.
. Tribute must be paid at this time to Mrs. Joseph Shaffer and. Mrs. Harry Llchtenstein, who were in charge of pledge
reservations, for their very cap¬ able Ijandlirig of this phase of the project. To Mrs. Herman Cohan and Mrs. Dave Levison goes all the credit for the ex¬ cellent manner in Which seat¬ ing arrangements were carried out. The magnitude of their Job and the proficient and effi¬ cient method^f operation by these two woinen can be appre¬ ciated when one realizes that approximately 2,500 persons witnessed  the  performances,
