Special at Fox to
Benefit Children
with AIDS
"Live from the Egyptian Ballroom-a
1940's Radio Cabaret" will recreate an
authentic radio show ambiance, starting at
8:40 on the night of December 5, with the
patrons as the live studio audience in the
Fox Theater's Egyptian Ballroom.
Here, where the big bands played and
Atlantans used to dance the night away,
from 800 to 1000 ticket holders are expected
to turn out for a fundraiser, with proceeds
providing services, care and feeding for
children in Adanta who are diagnosed with
AIDS. Chairing the event is Jake Roth
schild, an Atlanta newcomer whose special
events company is the sponsor, with support
from local businesses and AID Adanta
named as beneficiary.
Among the entertainers who have
already volunteered to take part are comedi
ans Jerry Farber and Michael West, Libby
Whittemore and the case from Gene and
Gabe's "Big Hair and Other Teases."
Behind-the-scenes talent will include Robert
Griggs of Griggs and Van Horm, who is
helping to create a setting where showgoers
will feel they are part of an authentic radio
show audience. Others are volunteering
their services almost daily.
"I am new to Adanta, and I am amazed at
how people all over the city have come for
ward to help us make this a successful
evening," says Rothschild.
Proceeds from the event will pay for vis-

THE
EGYPTIAN
EALLKGCM
iung nurses, medical equipment and care
and feeding of children in Adanta who are
diagnosed as having AIDS, some of them
abandoned at birth by parents unable or
unwilling to accept responsibility for their
care. The goal for the evening is to raise
$25,000. Tickets are $20 and are available
through the Fox Theater box office at
881-1977.
Congratulations to the
Georgia AIDS

upon their receipt of the
1988 GAPAC Impact Award.
Good Luck in '89.
