Starlight Acquires Comedian Jimenez
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (SPECIAL)
Buoyed by the success of its record-smashing opener and swinging into rehearsals for the second show.
"Blossom Time," Starlight Theatre announced the signing of comedian Jose Jimenez to complete the season's line-up of stars. Jimenez will be master of ceremonies for the "Mexican Holiday" stags spectacular July 16 through 22.
"Jose Jimenez will be the brightest spark in the entire Starlight season." production director Richard H. Berger said. "He's on his way to national popularity, just as Carol Burnett was last season."
JIMNEZ'S RECORDED space flight, "Jose Jimenez in Orbit," rocketed him to peak popularity as quickly as the real astronauts reached outer space. He has become one of the hottest comedians in the country following his appearances with Danny Thomas, Ed Sullivan, Steve Allen, and others.
Starlight's second show will be a new version of "Blossom Time" to be seen for the first time at the theater starting Sunday and running until July 8. William Walker, Lila Page, Jim Hawthorne, and Eileen Schauer will be starred in the musical which tells of the love of Franz Schubert for his beautiful young music pupil.
Summer Session Kansan Page 4
The score by Sigmund Romberg includes such memorable music as "Song of Love," "Serenade," and "Only One Love."
METROPOLITAN OPERA baritone. Walker, will have the
ical with once
role of Franz Schubert, and Lila Page will appear as his young music pupil, Marie. Jim Hawthorne will play Schubert's friend, and Eileen Schauer will have the role of the fiery La Catalani whose romantic inclinations add complications to the plot.
Jack Adams, Irwin Charone, Cynthia Latham, and Joe Ross will also be seen in "Blossom Time," which features an appearance by guest ballet stars Gail Israel and Anthony Mordente.
After various complications, the story ends happily with the singing of "You are my song of love . . .
melody immortal..."
As "Blossom Time" begins, Franz Schubert is a young man. intent on his compositions but not meeting with much success. Through the influence of friends, Schubert obtains the position of teacher for the beautiful young Marie.
THREE MONTHS later, the music tutoring has progressed and Schubert's love for Marie has become strong. Being a very timid man, he asks his friend, Baron Von Schonstein, to sing a song to Marie—a song expressing his deep love for her. When Marie hears the love song being sung by Von Schonstein, she is filled with emotion and expresses her love for Von Schonstein. The loss is felt deeply by young Schubert, who turns to his music for consolation.
"Blossom Time" will run for one week only and tickets for all performances are available at the 1217 Walnut box office in Kansas City.
The Human Nose, It's Fascinating
WASHINGTON—In this day and age, you rarely run across anyone who has anything good to say about the human nose.
By and large, we have come to regard the nose as an unlovely instrument, mostly large.
By Dick West United Press International
For the past several years, Dr. Johnston has been making a study of the human sense of smell, and he is pro-nose all the way.
FURTHERMORE, the word "smell" has for most of us an unpleasant connotation.
This is what makes Dr. James W. Johnston, associate professor of physiology at the Georgetown University School of Medicine, such an unusual man.
Tuesday. June 26,1962 Summer Session Kansan
I had a nasal type chat with the good doctor at the opening of an exhibit set up here by Schenley Industries. The exhibit is called "Scent-a-rama," eitherwise known as the "Whiffskey test."
ANY DISPARAGEMENT of the olfactory organ is to Dr. Johnston deplorable, for he is convinced that the nose is a wonderful piece of machinery.
The purpose of the demonstration is to show how aging improves the smell of whisky, and how the smell, in turn, improves the taste. Somehow I got the impression that Schenley is in the whisky business.
PERSONALLY, I am inclined to think that the effect of the aging process on whisky is not as important as the effect of whisky on the aging process of whisky drinkers.
But we needn't get into that. Back to Dr. Johnston.
He and I fell into a discussion as to why smelling is less popular than the other four senses. Dr. Johnston said it was because most people don't smell well.
We constantly exercise our sight, hearing, touch and taste, while letting our sense of smell go to pot. Many of us hasten its decline by using our noses as smokestacks.
It is wrong, however, to hold the nose responsible for this. We have only ourselves to blame.
ACCORDING TO Dr. Johnston, the olfactory organ actually is more sensitive than the human eye. If it seems dull and lifeless, it is because we abuse and neglect it.
Under such conditions the nose brings us little pleasure. We tend to regard it as merely a pedestal for sunglasses, except when we have a bad cold. Then we criticize it for dripping so much.
Mine is a bit clogged at the moment, but as soon as the sinus passages drain I intend to start a campaign to rehabilitate the nose and restore its good name.
BUT WHEN properly developed,
the sense of smell is a thing of beauty
and a joy forever.
MENDOTA, Ill. — (UPI) — This city is in the market for a new fire alarm whistle.
Dr. Johnston has convinced me that smelling can be fun.
City fathers learned the last person who knew how to repair the old whistle no longer is around.
