WEEK OF FUN With Which Is Amalgamated The Gorrie Vidette and Wroxeter News WINGHAM, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, APRIL 17th, 1947 a Subscriptions $2.00 per Year STYLE SHOW A IIIT Overflow Crowd, Many Turned Away Wingham's first co-operative Style Show attracted an overflow crowd to the Town Hall last Friday evening. Many were turned away as clothing, shoe, drug and furniture merchants combined to present•an excellent show- ing. Clothing such as that usually seen in Mayfair and Esquire magazines was very much in ,evidence, to the de- light of the large crowd: The beauti- fully decorated stage and ramp excited many a compliment. The usually dull background of the ,stage was trans- formed into a modern setting ideally suitable for the brilliant event. To open the show on a humorous note, Mr. Frank Johnson, style com- mentator, declared there was no short- age of a certain type of men's cloth- ing. It was available at all local men's shops in unlimited quantities. Model number one in the person of George CAlvert, then appeared in.. a suit of long underwear. Gales of- laughter greeted his appearance. The show then got down to serious Ihusiness as the various stores presented their models. Style comments were 'expertly hand- led by Miss 'Margaret Brophy 'and Mr. Frank Johnson of CKNX, who held the interest of the audience all through the show. Miss Brophy as- sembled and arranged the programme. Pianist for the entire programme was - Mr. Harold Victor Pym, who, also acted as accompanist for Mr. Hugh Gage's beautifully rendered violin solos. Mr. Pym later accompanied Miss Lois Whitney as she sang "Alice Blue Gown". A noted authority on women's clothing, in the persOn of Mr. Cliff McAvoy to describe the "chic" costume worn by Mme. Hortense Gig- nac (Mr. Tom Currie). Evidently Mme. Gignac (or "Cognac" as Mr. Mc- Avoy had it) was overwhelmed by the masterful description of her dress, and. as a result threw her arms around the "style expert" as they left the stage together. The audience was, shall we say, responsive. Another touch of hum- our was added as -'-Grandma" Coutts appeared. "She" looked like something out of "arsenic and Old Lace". As "she" explained • to the audience haw well she could take snuff without. sneezing the hall resoanded to • tier sneezes, as well as to the uproar of the highly amused crowd., . Sentiment is still alive as evidenced by the audience as it witnessed the finale of the show, a charming wed- ding scene, A great deal of credit i's due to ell those who modelled in the style show. The programme was as follows: Hanna & -Co. Limited Men's & 'Ladies' Wear; Armitage's Men's Wear, Style No. 1; Welwood's; Mine.
