Boone, director, an nounced. Rehearsals will open Monday for the university-community produced musical comedy July 16-18. A modem musical with old- fashioned charm, “Bloomer Girl” depicts a successful Yankee hoop- skirt manufacturer who attempts to boost his sales through the mar riage of his six daughters to super hoopskirt salesmen. All but Evalina, the youngest, accept the idea. She is attracted to her Aunt Dolly, an arden suf fragette, the originator of the bloomer and a believer in the emancipation of slaves. So Evalina is trouble for her father, even wears bloomers in defiance. The picture becomes more cloud- \ ed, however, when her father brings forth a handsome suitor from the southern hoopskirt dis trict. Shortly after this, Fort Sumter is fired upon, and war looms above everything. Boone and assistant director Mrs. Billie Jean Barron are in the pro cess of recruiting a 50-member cast, plus orchestra and technical workers. Mrs. Betty Sholly will direct the choreography. Harry Gooding, local architect, will direct the stage sets, and Wallace Johnson, stu dent programs assistant at A&M, has charge of scenery and stage operations. Rehearsals will begin Monday and auditions will continue each night through Friday in the Social Room of the Memorial Student Center. “Anyone who has had experience or wishes to gain experience,” Boone said, expressing his desires for a cast. “Residents of Bryan- College Station, university or high school students. . . ” A recent run by collectors on silver dollars has cleaned out the Treasury Department’s supply of “cartwheels” except for a reserve of some three million. restone SUPER SERVICE BRAKE (gp ADJUSTMENT AND WHEEL BALANCE FRONT WHEELS 4.44 Includes Adjustment of brakes for all four wheels and brake fluid if needed Balancing and weights for both front wheels CALL US FOR EVENING BRAKE SERVICE Low Price-High Quality NYLONAIRES * 6.70-15 tubed type Blackwall * Plus tax and trade-in tire off your car WHITEWALLS $ 2 MORE 6 7.5o-i4 Tubeless Blackwells *12* $095 Geo.
