It offers joy to the participants almost as much as a fine com- edian, singer, orchestra corn- bo, etc. This is why Carl's Chop House continues to shine in its exalted status as a legend. A second successful mock "murder mystery" by Carl's brought about still another revelation, plus the solving of this whodunit. Carl's Chop House on Grand River off the John Lodge Expressway, truly one of Detroit's premier dining spots of high note, showed fur- ther flexibility in its capa- bilities to please people, which it has been doing since the '30s. Amid the large, sturdy- looking Carl's Chop House, with heavy beams, dark mahogany wood, stained glass windows, red leather chairs, white tablecloths, white napkins, draped win- dows, etc., in an atmosphere of hardy elegance, the addi- tional feature of on-premise theater added to the many entertaining ways of this venerable dining institution which continues as one of Detroit's best dollar-for-dollar restaurant values. Like good wine, Carl's Chop House seems to get better with age as it continually ranks among the Midwest's finest dining operations. The actors and actresses were at Carl's "to film a com- mercial" and infiltrated among the tables, talking to customers while answering questions which might lead to clues as to who the culprit is. Peggy Thorpe, stage mana- ger of the first season by Jewish Ensemble Theatre (JET) at Jewish Community Center, which opened around 1990 with Man In The Glass Booth, was one of the suspects . . . "Under suspicion" too was Joyce Uzelac, Southfield Cultural Arts theater divi- sion director . . . Peggy also opened in JET's First Supper and another of the actors, Rick Hudson, was in The Merchant with Evie Orbach as JET's artistic director. The loads-of-fun mystery by eight actors and actresses plus Claudia Passalacqua, owner Frank's beautiful and sweet wife, a commercial ac- tress in her own right, was presented for an almost-filled, large center room. Everybody who attended was part of the festivities .. . All were taken to Carl's park- ing lot to "view the body" where the EMS, or Communi- ty Medical Service as they prefer to be called, were kneeling, trying to revive the victim who had gasped a final breath. Each table worked as a team . . . David Ryan, with wife Kathleen, was our detec- tive . . . Super sleuths Toni and John Genitti, whose Genitti's Hole-In-The-Wall in Northville is well-noted for its murder mysteries, and my wife Frieda joined Dave and Kathleen in guessing wrong. The ones that were correct won dinner at Carl's Chop House plus limousine service among the gifts for pointing out the guilty varmint. People enjoyed the sitdown dinner of prime rib or broiled white fish or chicken Sicili- ano, accompanied by soup, salad, Carl's relishes, fresh- baked bread, vegetable, din- ner wine, chocolate sundae and coffee, tea or milk . . . $90 per couple included tax and tip. Starlite Productions of West Bloomfield, hired by Frank and Claudia Passalacqua to put on the show, is under the guidance of Cindy Wood, who'll have her troupe back at Carl's Chop House again Dec. 10 for this loads-of-fun shindig . . . People are already making their reservations. Carl's mixed the food wtih entertainment. The legend of Carl's Chop House continues with still another dimension. NO BLACK TIE for this Michigan Cancer Foundation shindig by its Circle of Fellows . . . only bathing suits, tennis attire or what-have- you casual garb. Doreen and Dave Herme- lin's Bingham Farms home will be the site of their Fam- ily Fair for this wonderful group on July 28, 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. I don't know of too many organizations that have so much fun raising money .. .

Proceeds from the $45 tickets benefit Oakland County Center for Open Housing . . . Some of the polo players will be there plus a Packard car exhibit. YOU KNOW a lot of years have gone by when someone like Dorothy Decker tells you her age . . . and of her being a grandmother. She used to be little Dotty Laker, daughter of the late Jimmy and Toby Laker, and later on a homemaker with four little children . . . She went back to school in 1981 and has changed her life into another direction. Thday, Dorothy Decker has initials like MSW, ACSW, LMFT and ACC after her name with oodles of ex- perience already in clinical psychology . . . She always did like to help people . . . and has parlayed her love into a pro- fession . . . assisting them in combating almost everything that life offers to stand in their way of happiness. Dotty is on Middlebelt in
