I BEST OF EVERYTHING I
A Military Contribution
To Maimonides Fashion Show
DANNY RASKIN
Local Columnist
p
atriotic awareness was
a high spot as 10 uni-
formed soldiers left
their guns and attached
bayonets to meet in canopy
style while bride and groom
models walked under in a
military-like mock wedding
. . . Two more soldiers stood at
attention in the background
. . . one holding the American
flag and the other the State
of Michigan flag.
This was the striking finale
at Leah Marks' fashion pro-
duction for Women of
Maimonides Medical Socie-
ty's 45th annual donor
luncheon.
All the models in Leah's
show then walked under the
guns and bayonets held ever
so steady by some of Uncle
Sam's army's finest.
Prior to the show, Captain
James Hamrick, their officer
in charge, was given a plaque
by Maimonides Women .. .
and a table of uniformed
soldiers received a standing
ovation by the huge throng of
women and a few men at Adat
Shalom Synagogue.
Leah's show again began
with her patented opening
. . . a dance scene . . . as run-
ning lights swept above the
front stage amid a whirling
kaleidoscope of much color.
The models, led by excellent
Diana Craig and Lois Per-
shin, were in high-spirited
form, maybe enhanced by the
army's attendance.
Was nice to see a fast-
moving, well-paced fashion
show instead of those where
models take too much time
standing and whirling as
though they were the only
ones displaying wares . . . In
show biz parlance, this is
known as "hogging it" .. .
Many models who are not
given strict rules of procedure
will be guilty of such self
display.
Thank Heaven a fashion
show coordinator such as
Leah Marks knows right from
wrong .. . and makes certain
this doesn't happen . . . A
well-paced fashion show
achieves more by gaining
precise audience attention.
Locak DJ Rik Jagger did
his usual good job at the
mike, and the guys 'n gals
models displayed up-to-the-
minute merchandise from
Ceci's, the Broadway, Your
Image, Hersh's and Loretta
Lorion . . . with Belissima Too
hair styling, Malibu Makeup
and Union Optical.
This may be one of the few
times the kiddies didn't steal
the show . . . 11 of them came
out and ran up and down the
runway busting balloons in
Loretta Lorion garb, led by
dancer Andrew Crawford.
Good to see models trained
when and when not to smile
. . . I never could stand those
pasty ones that sometimes
look like somebody splattered
plaster of Paris on their
mouths and it hardened . . . I
like the softness of a model's
warm smile.
They joined hands with the
U.S. Army in putting over a
very good Leah Marks
fashion production.
TWO ATTORNEYS, a
sisterhood president, an art
gallery owner, a computer
coordinator, a nursery school
administrator, a GM engin-
eer, a publicist, a veterin-
arian, a bookeeper, a retail
clothier, a PTA mom and a
rabbi by day.
Just a simple green visor
was all it took to transform
Jack and Judy Nolish, Rick
and Arlene Selik, Richard
and Brenda Strausz, Mark
and Susan Adler, Steve and
Missy Selfon, Marvin and
Karen Cohen and Rabbi
David Feder into casino
dealers.
Occasion was the recent bar
mitzvah celebration for Dan
Zimmerman, son of Lonny
and Jewish News staffer Gail
Zimmerman . . . with the
Potomac Club transformed a
la Las Vegas into a "Zimm's
Place" casino for 65
youngsters who rocked to the
music of Living Energy and
rolled the dice, spun the
wheels and played cards to be
"Lucky 13" prize winners.
Everybody won because of
the good time had by all.
CONGRATS ... to Daniel
Horwitz . . . on his seventh
birthday . . . to Daniel's
brother, Adam, on number
three (already?).
TIME WAS when the mer-
chants at Sugar Tree, Or-
chard Lake Road north of
Maple, yearned heavily for a
restaurant in the shopping
plaza . . . This summer,
they'll have two . . . Cafe
Oliverio's and Deli will open
where Gildy's was located .. .
and next door at the former
bakery will be Golden
Phoenix Chinese restaurant.
75 YEARS ago this month,
Nathan and Pauline Hack
opened their shoe store on
Hastings, next door to Knop-
pow's Drug Store on the cor-
ner of Frederick . . . the same
square block as Children's
Hospital.
The proximity to the
hospital brought in nurses
seeking duty shoes and doc-
tors looking for special
footwear for crippled children.
Both contributed to what
became Nathan Hack's
lifelong preoccupation with
feet and shoes . . . By the time
Prohibition came into effect,
the business was ready to
move into the double store
vacated by a saloon at the cor-
ner of Hastings and Farn-
sworth . . . His sign read,
"The Shoe Store on the Cor-
ner that Does Business On
The Square."
Across the street was the
original Boesky's . . . with
huge corned beef sandwiches
A dozen uniformed
soldiers helped set
the scene for a
show with a
patriotic flair at
Adat Shalom.
at 10 cents and Vernor's
ginger ale for three cents a
glass.
When Nathan was ready to
specialize in prescription-type
shoes on the fifth floor of the
Stroh Building, then a
medical office edifice, the
store was bought by Philip
Eisenshtadt, whose sons,
Harry and Norman, built the
Phillip's chain of shoe stores.
Along the way, Nathan
developed the Hack Clubfoot
and Pigeon Toe shoes, the
Ripple sole and so many other
new ideas that caused him to
be named one of "Michigan's
Outstanding Inventors" on
the 50th anniversary of the
Michigan Patent Law Associ-
ation.
Nathan and Pauline's sons,
Morton and Leonard, attend-
ed Garfield School . . . Mort
studied podiatry and Leonard
majored in business ad-
ministration at the Universi-
ty of Michigan . . . Mort's son,
James, succeeded his father ,(
as president of the company
. . . and Jim's daughter,
Kathy, is secretary of Hack
Shoes.
So very nice that the fami-
ly continues this wonderful
slice of local history.
CONGRATS ... to Donna
Jagger . . . on her birthday.
MANY TIMES, the bad
stigma left by a previous
restaurant owner is hard to
