Promptly at 8 30 tonight (Sat¬ urday) the curtain at Bexley High School will go up, and the B nai Brith Women of Zion Lodge win present their second ¦Musical Variety Revue, entitled Awake and Swing." Culminat¬ ing their Ninth Annual Fund Raising Project, this produc¬ tion has been *feagerly awaited by the entire community which has responded graciously and overwhelmingly to the ann# of women headed by Mrs. Theo¬ dore Schlonsky, who have worked tirelessly to make this Donor Subscription Show a tre¬ mendous financial success.
That it will also be an artistic triumph is assured by the fact that Jerry Grodin, talented and popular young singer and direc¬ tor, is in full charge of the en¬ tire production. Assisting him is Miss Ruth Russell, while the Dorothy Bloom Dance Ensem. hie, in numbers especially ar¬ ranged by Miss Bloom for this production, will highlight the performances. In fact,' Miss Bloom herself will perform a ,solo dance In one of the scenes, Because of prior commitments with the Columbus Boy Choir School, and as much to his re gret as to B'nai B'rlth Women's pwn disappointment, it will be Impossible for Aaron Cohen to appear, but, the organization feels fortunate indeed to haveob-
Dlck Stelh
tained the services of Mr, Joe Weisberg and his excellent or¬ chestra, which will be in the pit  for  both  performances.
Greater Audience Appeal
Departing from the style of Revue presented last year, "Awake and Swing" will have even greater audience appeal, due in a large measure to the five beautifully costumed pro¬ duction numbers, A sewing com- tnlttee, headed by Mrs, Harry Cowan, Mrs, Jack Cohen and Mrs, J, D. Schecter, assisted by Mesdames G, G, Kajiian, Sol Rising, Herbert Spagat, Sam Sherman, Conrad Toole and Miss Sara Slaven,- have designated and made ail the Costumes for the Indian Number and the Plantation Scene.
