Scavenger Hunt At Barn Tomorrow The Buzzards will convene at the Barn Theatre. tomorrow night for a picnic supper and one of those scavenger hunts made fam- ous by the Key West Players. This one promises to be more fun than usual. All clues will be hidden in nonsensical rhymes — for instance, if one of the items is a banana, the clue will prob- ably read something like this — “Babies thrive on it, men slide on it and monkeys dive on it.” The rhyming clues committee, under the chairmanship of Isadore Bow- ser, has taken full advantage of poetic license and made them as confusing as possible. Incidentally, the first clue of the hunt will be “concealed” in a charade to be presented on the stage at the Barn Theatre. If you forgot to make your res- ervation for the buffet supper, you can still drop in at the Barn about 8:00 p.m. and take part in the “‘unusualmost”’ scavenger hunt. There is a small charge that goes toward the prizes. You can take a chance of get- ting something to eat — you'll be fed at second table if those lucky people who didn’t forget their reservations don’t eat everything up! 2 You can still make yours by calling Mickey Renna or Rollee Pollock. — and, naturally, this is an informal party.

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE Players Will Have |This Father Makes His Living Playing Kid’s Games At the age of 43, Irving Bram- bier plays 25 children’s games every week. He’s not reliving his childhood—it’s his business. Brambier makes educational games for youngsters from 3 to 12. The job of choosing games that are both fun and instructive includes sitting down with pros. pective inventors; tryouts on Brambier’s two children and a study of modern teaching meth. ods. Some suggested games have good beginnings and fizzle out in the end. Some can’t be ended at all, Brambier says children are wonderful game-makers but often their ideas are too complicated. He also claims adults sometimes think of games. too simple for children to play. He recalls a man who devised a game of alphabet noodles dip- ped in paint. With the aid of plas- tie toothpicks, a child was sup- posed to pick apart the noodles. Brambier says this game was one way to ruin a youngster’s eyes. But, he adds: “If the child didn’t like the game he could always eat the noodles.” Brambier, who started his New York business in 1944, tries out all his games on his children, Michael, 12, and Ronnie Sue, 9, who by now have a roomful of toys. Sometimes the jury includes neighborhood youngstérs, “They tell me what’s wrong,” he says. “And I take their word for it. Children can spot flaws in a game immediately.” Many of the firm’s 19 games are used in schools throughout the country. A game of jumbo anagrams recently won a Toy Guidance Council award. Card games which teach the alphabet are used by two schools for the deaf. Some of the games are used for reading instruction and identifica- tion of animals and household ob- jects. Brambier keeps up with cur- rent school methods and often re- ceives suggestions from teachers. Brambier owes his business to Michael, who liked to play with cards. His father decided to make up a deck which would teach him something. Friends liked the al- phabet cards so much they sug- gested he put it on the market.

The result is entertaining if not very uplifting. “Living It Up” is perhaps the best of the Martin and Lewis romps. For once, they have a sub- stantial vehicle — taken from the Broadway show “Hazel Flagg,” which was taken from the movie “Nothing Sacred.” When the film sticks to the whimsy of the plot, it’s ‘wonderful. It is not so good when it relies on the standard Mar- tin and Lewis routines. “Magnificent Obsession” is a pleasant dose of message and sen- timent. The old Robert Taylor- Irene Dunne movie has been re- made with Rock Hudson, Jane Wy- man and color. The story seems old-fashioned, but the message is as important today as ever. “The Student Prince” is yet an- other remake. During the early moments, you wonder: Why did they drag out. this old piece of claptrap? But then you get into the swing of it and you see how these old operettas charmed an earlier generation. “The Caine Mutiny” measures up to the bigness of its story. “About Mrs. Leslie” rambles on in the manner of a serial in a woman’s magazine. In plodding | style, it tells the story of a mature woman who spends six weeks each year as the companion to a mar- ried public figure. What brings the tale alive is the glowing per- sonality of Shirley Booth. “Seven Brides for Seven Broth- | ers” is one of those rare musicals that discard formula for originaii- ty. This handsome folklore tells | how seven brothers won their | wives in frontier days. | Missouri Family ‘Sought In Florida | KANSAS CITY # — A Missouri family is on a vacation trip to Florida, unaware that a member is in danger of rabies infection. All police in Southeastern states have been alerted to stop Mr. and Mrs. Henry Zeliner and tell them that their son Russell, 11, should uke antirabies serum immediate- iy: The boy was bitten by a skunk at their home in Blue’ Springs Fri- day. The family started to Florida early Saturday. Later the highway patrol said the skunk died with symptoms of rabies. The Zellners are traveling in a green 1951 Ford sedan with a lug- gage earrier on top.
