Cole Porter Musical Starts at Starlight
Genevieve, effervescent television star, will be seen for the first time at Starlight Theatre in the Cole Porter hit, "Can-Can" which starts a week's run Monday at 8:15 p.m.
Fifteen hit tunes from the pen of Cole Porter sparkle in the "Can-Can" score, and the seasoned wit of humorist Abe Burrows is apparent in the libretto. The musical ran for two years and seven weeks on Broadway to establish the eighth longest run in its classification.
tion as the juanty proprietur upon to prove in court and by other means that the can-can is a proper dance.
Genevieve, a native of Paris, will appear in the Starlight production as the juanty proprietress of a dance-hall in Paris, who is called upon to prove in court and by other*
Broadway star, Larry Douglas, will portray a puritanical judge who insists the dance should not be permitted, and gets himself disbarred and even jailed while trying to get enough evidence to have the dance-hall proprietress restrained.
The plot also relates the story of an art critic who falls in love with a dancer attached to a conceited but untended sculptor, and of the hilarious duel they fight on a Paris rooftop.
Other highlights of "Can-Can" are actual demonstrations of the dance in court-rooms and in cabarets, and a vigorous travesty of an Apache dance which stopped the show night after night during its Broadway run.
Cole Porter, who has written many unceasingly whistled and hummed perennials contributed some of his most rhythmic and melodious songs to "Can-Can."
Of the fifteen tunes in the show eleven have become popular favorites, including "It's All Right With
Korean War End Recalled
SEOUL, Korea — (UPI) — The Korean War ended eight years ago yesterday.
South Koreans treated the anniversary like any other day. There were no parades or speeches. No flags were unfurled. The military regime which took over the Republic of Korea government last May 16 made no pertinent announcements.
The armistice ending the conflict was signed July 27, 1953, in Pamunjom. The signers were the Communist North Koreans and the United Nations command, representing soldiers from 16 countries who fought the Reds for 37 months after the North Korean invasion of South Korea.
Within 12 hours after the truce was signed, troops began setting up a neutral buffer zone. An exchange of prisoners was completed the following September.
The shooting has long since stopped, but the cold war goes on. To this day, both sides have maintained military stature astride the demarcation line at the 38th parallel. Some 50,000 American GI's still are stationed in South Korea.
To the South Koreans, the Communist threat is ever-present.
The truce is supervised by the joint UNC-Communist Military Armistice Commission, which has met 235 times in the past eight years. The latest commission meeting was held Wednesday when the UNC charged that the Reds had violated the armistice agreement 207 times since the end of the war.

Cubans in N.Y. Cheer Castro
NEW YORK—(UPI)—The catchy Latin rhythms blared forth from the Siboney restaurant where an intense group of young Cubans and their comrades were whooping it up in the heart of Manhattan's Spanish-speaking neighborhood.
It was the eighth anniversary of Fidel Castro's 26th of July revolutionary movement and the celebrators, being avid fans of Fidel, were toasting the new Cuba.
And then there were the police men. About 300 of them.
Patrolling the nearly deserted streets, grouped in small huddles of consultation or simply lurking in the shadows of a nearby park, their presence belied what appeared to be a peaceful summer night.
The police had swarmed in on the neighborhood to prevent a "scheduled riot," and the mighty show of strength clearly discouraged all threats of violence.
The undercurrent of tension that pulsated through the dark streets came at the end of a day in which pro-Castro and anti-Castro demonstrations were staged throughout the city.
There was one mild flurry at the United Nations Plaza, where police scuffled briefly with five men. The demonstrators tried to impede the arrest of a woman who had disobeyed a police order to move on. The five also were arrested.
Otherwise the demonstrations, while vigorous, occurred without serious incident as there was little direct contact between anti-Castro groups and pro-Castroites.
