Page 4 MARGARET FORESMAN, CONCH CHOWDER By RAYMER An unknown gem with spark, plus sparkle, has been born to rush, but not unseen, into this column. Satire rhyme is his forte. He signs himself as Conch Shelley, I have my suspicions as to the identity of the wit, but no confirmation. Here are some of the contributions: LINES TO A TAVERN On Deval street did Kublai Khan A mighty Pleasure Dome decree Where Beer in sacred Rivers ran THE KEY WEST CITIZEN SOCIETY... PERSONALS ....

Returned to this city, October 1 from a brief stint at the Horsham Lounge, Horsham, Pa., this little organization is billed as “The Three Chaps and A Chick.” The billing pretty accurately describes the composition of the team. Individually they are Ernie Wil- liams, guitar; Lila Mae Williams, drums; Chuck Jefferson, piano; and Marion (Frump) . Blackwell, bass — with everyone on the vo- cals. The type of music is almost levery kind. The Combo themselves best like their four-part harmony. | And the crowd that listens to them lobviously likes all of the tunes | Novelty, new, old: they play all with equal facility. And small wonder! They have been joined together for 15 years now. The only break periods were when Shipped Dressed and Drawn Gr.

You see, Chuck is blind and Flash acts as the eyes for him, and you may see, him at the bandstand during all of the numbers. No critic he, be- cause he usually seems to snooze rather peacefully through the en- tire performance. Also, better than some humans, he only acts when he is called upon. The Three Chaps and a Chick are at present booked from Phila- delphia and have played at a great many spots during their ca- reer. Some of them are; ‘8 Musical Bar, Gloucester, N.
