SOCettes Spell SOCcess as 'Flaming Youth' Scores
In the production numbers,
The gals were featured in
four scenes, including the open-

off with a pep rally . at Tait Uni-

By the Oak-Woodser
Begin with nine writers, add
an imaginative and creative pro-
duction staff and stir gradually
but vigorously for five months
until jelled—and here you have
the recipe for a "hit."
Again this proved to be the
successful formula of South
Oakland County Chapter of Ha-
dassah, as it staged its produc-
tion, "Flaming Youth," before
nearly 6,000 people at Ford Au-
ditorium last Saturday and Sun-
day nights.
The singing was good, the
action lively and the sets and
costuming were colorful and
sometimes lavish, but it was
the dancing that really made
this year's sixth annual show
click.
Showing the way were the
SOCettes, a group of 16 very
capable chorus girls who ably
showed off the dance routines
arranged by Julie Adler and had
audiences on both nights loudly
applauding their efforts.

tion by giving their school cheer
and introducing the title song,
"Flaming Youth," one of two
original numbers by musical
director Leah Jay.
Then we meet Wreck Manko-
witz (Sol Pokart), about whom
the action r evolve s. While
Wreck is long on football, he's
short on knowledge, particu-
larly Shakespeare.
Even with this failing, Wreck
might have played football for
Tait U. but for Prunella Hinkle
(Rosemary Selburn), the new
English teacher who is long on
ti Shakespeare, but short on foot-
ball.
The real problem is that
Johnny Palmer (Larry Trager)
and Bobby Johnson (Lee :Gor-
en) have become involved with
three questionable characters
out of Damon Runyan — Big
*, 4 Julie
(Harold Roland), Izzy
Cheesecake (Bert Gordon) and
Doublecheck Doogan (Herman
Bennett).
In order to repay the money
they owe Big Julie, the colle-
giates suggest a bet on Tait U.
for the big game with State.
1N With Wreck playing Tait can't
lose, especially when Polly Par-
sons (Harriet Shubin) is called
it to tutor Wreck.
When Miss Hinkle insists
Wreck can't play, trouble de-
velops, but then Prunella is
placed in a locker, while Dean
Tremle (Seymour Eichman) and
Big Julie give Wreck an oral
■
quiz, which he passes with the
aid of cue cards that are flashed
from the lockers. Naturally,
Wreck gets into the game, and
dramatically Tait wins. •

body cares much since it sets
the stage for some very clever
scenes, including "100 Easy
Ways to Lose a Man," sung
by Harriet Shubin, and "I
Wanna Be Loved by You,"
in which Addle Beckerman,
as Big Julie's girl friend, does
the show's best novelty num-
ber.
Joan Pokart, who is the cam-
pus belle (Southern variety),
Harriet Shubin, Lee Goren and
Larry Trager combine their tal-
ents in "Good Morning," which
also comes out as one of the
bright spots of the evening.
Past shows staged by the SOC
gals and their husbands have
been known for better singing
than "Flaming Youth," but
there has never been the
amount of dancing required
from either the individual per-
formers or the chorus.
3 from Suburbs
"Varsity Drag" and "Charles-
ton,"the chorus is cali_ed upon
and does a creditable job of
dancing. Even with a bit of
opening night difficulty with
some stubborn scenery, the 30
men and women of the chorus
did nobly.
The entire venture on the
Ford Auditorium's huge stage
would be enough to scare pro-
fessionals, but these performers
— all amateurs — have every
right to feel pleased with their
performances.
And downright proud should
be the 16 SOCettes: Gerrie Ben-
