R. F. C., and the staging, the voices of “Flut ter,” “Weiner”, and “Sam, and the string manipulation, are done by members of Senior troop No. 5, Misses Carol Edwards, Nancy Whitworth, Mary Chance, Dolores Martin, Joann Hudson, Elizabeth. Honea, Katherine Soule, Jane Mc- Mullen, leader, Mrs. Alex McCas kill, and her assistant, Mrs. Lee Bradberry. . L The play was given at Chase St. School P. T. A. “Dad Nite”, on February 11, at the Girl Scout Council meeting cn Feb. 9, and will be shown at all the city schools between now and March 9, as a forerunner of the Suzari Ma rionette Company’s appearance in the play “Pinocchio” at the Fine Arts Auditorium at 2: 30 on March 11.
